These long lists are mostly ridiculous. I've seen some that say no eggplant, oranges, plums and on and on. What I was told at McLean was the simple form - no aged cheeses or meats. Careful with soy. No marmite (??-a UK thing), no sauerkraut and no draft beer. That was it
I cheat constantly. I love cheddar and gouda and feta. I have even had small amounts of blue cheese. I know I am pushing the envelope and I know that 4 years of no problem doesn't mean there won't be a problem. But....so far no problem. My p-doc warns me to be careful, but also pointed out early on that if a couple of ounces of cheese and salami and a couple of drafts would kill you, nobody would prescribe MAOIs. These are warnings, not certainties. He said you're probably okay with an ounce of cheese. I read 1/4 cup of soy sauce is fine. I'll occasionally have a slice of pepperoni pizza - maybe a couple of ounces.
