I did that, with my father in law. For years he kept saying that
onions gave him bad dreams. For years and years I thought just that,
bad dreams, and cooked for him without onions, which is quite easy
when he doesn't eat anything else but meat and a selection of vegs.
Until recently I realised that he meant flatulence ... not bad
dreams. David, don't try this sentence at home. Won't work with the
French ;o)
