When I took Parnate, my pdoc warned me about only a few foods. The ones I recall are
1. soy sauce, or other fermented soy products
2. cheeses, except for some processed cheeses, and cottage cheese
3. sauerkraut, pickles
4. prepared salads such as egg salad, potato salad, particularly if bought after having been left out (or being left out after having been bought)
5. a few types of red wine, mostly of an Italian vintage-- but worth avoiding red wine IMO
6. anything else that is fermented, or foods that spoil-- but again-- if you put them overnight into refrigerator, etc, it's fine to ear thamCategory 6 sounds vague and scary-- but I never had any problem-- most people don't eat spoiled food, so it's not as if you have to cut out things you're eating-- although if leftovers have been standing out in the hot sun, or overnight, I wouldn't eat them, out of caution.
He emphasized that many of the other warnings aren't reliable, and are overstated. If I think of anythign else, I'll add it--
