Of the list you mention, only pepperoni, swiss and cheddar and real no-no's. (Bananas don't contain tyramine. Only banana skins and why would you eat the skin?). But I have eated all the no-nos in small quantities without a problem. When I first started parnate I said to my p-doc, well no wonder they're not prescribed that often. All I would have to do is have some salami and cheese and a bottle of chianti and check out. He said these are tendencies, not absolutes. If it were that urgent, nobody would prescibe MAOIs to someone who is, or has been, suicidal.
So watch it with dried meats and aged cheeses and you should be fine.
