I tend to think many mythical figures are actually based on real people who existed and were exceptional at the time. And they probably didn't do half the things people say they did.
Three things I hate: raisins, onions, celery. Though, I will eat food with onions in it if the onions are blended into oblivion and I cannot detect onions. Stuff like salsa, for example, I can tolerate. That being said, aint nothing like some homemade pecan pie. Or maybe a nice apple pie slice with some sharp cheddar on top, Wisconsin Style.
