Does it really suck to be a picky eater? I'm not talking about having an aversion to some odd thing here or there often considered disgusting, but people who can't eat normal foods most people enjoy on a regular frequency
>>21068833>Does it really suck to be a picky eater?I would think so yes, though I don't like mushrooms.
>>21068833Missed olives.
>>21068990That's true
>>21068833add pizza crust
>>21068980>not liking mushrooms
>>21068833there are really people who won't eat steak, chicken, sausage, or shrimp? wtf?
>>21069581Yes, they even post here incessantly. Chicken, is not so much about chicken, but rather meat on the bone because they're scared of the fact that is indeed a dead cooked corpse.
I'm not a picky eater, would eat everything there except tomatoes by themselves. Love ketchup, love salsa, love tomato soup. Just don't like diced toms or slices. Its a pain in the ass when you genuinely like good food but just find some stuff to be deal breakers as an adult and people look at you like you're a fucking idiot. No, I just don't like asparagus, the texture is bad and the flavor is worse. Why am I a bad person for not liking certain foods?
Shrimp is perfectly valid. That person might be allergic to it.
>not eating a fungus makes you pickyif that's the case, I can answer your question.no it doesn't suck to be a picky eater.I don't eat fungus
To be? Probably not. You just don't eat stuff.To date? Hell on earth. I can't cook half the shit I want to cook. We can't go out anywhere nice. It's fucking tendie-level retardation in the culinary department over here, bros. I am at the end of my wits.
>>21069603Retard
>>21068833I dont care what you think, yokes must be broke and cooked through
>>21068833I can't eat most vegetables including basically everything Mexicans use, so I'm stuck ordering refried slop when I go out to eat. It's not exactly earth shattering but it's a bit annoying
>>21068990love olives but i wouldn't hold it against anyone if they said they didn't. i can tell they aren't for everyone.
Its an american thing. Protestant culture. If served garbage, eat. Even if the tomatoes are bitter flavorless acid and you’re sick of those generic mushrooms. Be vaguely asian and say your culture has a distaste for it. Wala. You can skip eating anything.
>>21069693Asian cuisines are not really known for their vast variety of flavors. They're pretty insular to few common ingredients/flavor bases.
>>21069698White people don’t know that and they think they’ve never had real asian food. Works for me and I’m actually mexican. >oh, we dont eat olives in my family, from tibet
>>21068833I like 7/10 of the items you've listed. Only ones I don't care for are mushrooms, salmon, and raw onions. I'll eat those same onions cooked though, so that's a tentative 8/10.
i dont like things that most people do and it doesn't suck no, because i just eat other stuff i like instead.cheese, soups and sandwiches are the biggest 3. i like everything on that list except. mayonnaise though
>>21068980>I don't like mushrooms.Not even on pizza?
tomatoes are shit. just makes shit wet
>>21069581shrimp are literal insects and have a disgusting texture
>>21069743No they aren't. Insects are crustaceans, but shrimp aren't insects. Insects that grew on the land all evolved out of sea dwelling crustaceans.It's the same way all birds ARE not only reptiles, but actually dinosaurs, taxonomically. But there's still a big difference between a Triceritops and a pigeon.
>>21069748no amount of autistic cope will ever convince me to eat bugsyour efforts are futile
I get constant ostracization and ridicule for itI can't eat at restaurants or even at cafes with other peopleI don't want to pay the prices that they charge for fries, tenders, fried fish, etc because I know it's a ripoff I can't cook for othersI'm eating an unhealthy diet and it was only the last few years that I actually started eating vegetables and even then the only vegetable I can eat is frozen peasI like eating pasta, rice, butter, fried food and peasI also like chocolate but I don't like ice cream because it hurts my teeth and I don't like the feeling of milk in my mouth
>>21068833Say you don't like a certain food and /ck/ anons lose their shit.
>>21068833Missing deenz.
I moved in with a chick who was raised on meat and 3 veg. She wouldn’t even eat raw onion.By the time I moved out she was eating Greek salads, curries, blue cheese.Picky eaters are just weak people who are scared to leave their comfort zone and have never had anyone lure them out.
>>21068980Does your mom know you're gay?
>>21069591If you like tomato products but not tomatoes themselves then you've probably never had a home grown or farmers market tomato.
>>21069689Put down the tendies you fat fuck autist
>>21069758Brush your fucking teeth sometime and maybe ice cream won't hurt
>>21069808NTA but I've brushed my teeth every day since a kid, and they still just steadily lost enamel through my life. Even as a toddler, it was a problem, I never had cavities till my late 20s where I just started getting them constantly despite quitting most sugar a decade prior aside from the occasional soft drink at a restaurant, but as a kid I had those "spotty" teeth where some parts were whiter than others, it must be some unknown condition, cause I know slobs with fine teeth who literally go a week without brushing regularlyI don't have much sensitity though, and in any case tldr brushing your teeth sometimes doesn't seem to matter at all
>>21069808I brush my teeth twice a day because I hate the sensation of not brushing my teethI also floss it I can't sleep without brushing my teeth
>>21069693>>21069708That's not any more respectable a reason for being picky. There are no such cultural aversions anyway.
>>21069743>literalYou don't understand that word. Same as every ignorant zoomer.
>>21069758You deserve all the hate you constantly receive. I hate your guts just reading about it.
>>21069828This. And daily showers. I will never understand how people can go around all day with film on their teeth and yesterday's undies on, no fresh start. Just thinking about it makes me gross. A shower every morning at the very minimum. And sometimes a nice bubblebath after a long day or exercising or being out in the bad weather.They teach soldiers to be clean whenever they can because it makes your mental state better and your thoughts and actions more efficient. They're absolutely right. Civilized successful people are clean.
>>21068833I'm not particularly fond of mushrooms, steak or sausage. Is it over for me?Everything else on the list is cool as a cucumber.
>>21069903The military also puts huge emphasis on experience in all situations. Those soldiers have no idea what it feels like to not shower for two weeks and have the grease from their face obscuring their vision.They have been told, they don’t know for themselves.
>>21069802suck my ass you gay loser
I like eggs, mushrooms, steak, chicken, sausage, tomato, and onion. I don't like seafood or mayo. eating anything put in front of you isn't not being picky, it's being indiscriminate. if you don't want to bang fat chicks does that make you a picky fucker? if you can have preferences for the music you listen to and the clothes you wear why can't you have foods you like and don't like?
i will eat anything except for celery
>>21068833that's the most hideous shoop collage I've seen on this site in a metric yonk. It's like you have no pride at all anon.
I won't eat onions unless they're pulverized or powdered, I hate the texture. It also doesn't help that I have a horrible gag reflex.
>>21068833>Does it really suck to be a picky eater?well the issue is that if you are not a "picky" eater you don't understand what is happening. most "picky" eaters have a stronger sense of smell and taste. we can smell or taste things in food that non tasters can't, and let me tell you there is some nasty tasting/smelling compounds in many foods.my dad could eat anything but even he had foods he didn't like. raw onions and mushrooms.my nephew is 30 years old and an airline pilot and has struggled with picky eating his whole life. he has expanded his palette a little but he still finds many food flavors overpowering. I used to be able to name all the things he would eat.I found that when I was young many foods had tastes and smells that would overload my senses. I could not stand ham, but liked bacon. loved over easy eggs, hated hard cooked eggs. peas would make me gag and nearly vomit. most vegetables are bitter and have tastes and smells that are vile (no matter how they are cooked). beats taste like dirt. broccoli tastes like poop smells even when grilled or insert your favorite way to cook them here. brussel sprouts smell like rotting meat and have a terrible taste I cannot begin to describe even when cooked your favorite way.as I have gotten older I have been able to enjoy many food that I could not eat as a child, like ham, but there are still foods that I cannot stand even the smallest taste of like fish. could I eat these foods if I was starving? of course, but I'm not starving so I won't.also why do people get so butthurt when other people don't like the foods that they like? I don't get mad when someone says they don't like things that I like: medium rare steak, spicy foods, under cooked bacon, etc.If you don't like something who cares? more for me.the good thing about being a picky eater is that we can tell when food has gone bad long before "normies" can. which is quite funny to watch people eat food that has gone off and not tell them
>>21069591>I'm not a picky eater, would eat everything there except tomatoes by themselves.so you are a picky eater. not liking any food makes you a picky eater.
>>21068980>>21068990>>21069203>>21069591picky eaters.
>>21069603>>21069622>>21069687>>21069689picky eaters
>>21069709>>21069725>>21069735>>21069743>>21069758picky eaters
>>21069764>>21069777>>21069920>>21070268>>21070275>>21070280picky eaters
>>21068833Food is one of life's great joys and I probably would kill myself if everything tasted like shit and I had to act like a whiny bitch about it to satisfy my pallet
>>21070440>palletKek. Retard.
mushrooms have a disgusting texture in most applications
>>21070450
>>21068833I'm not a picky eater, I just don't like mayo or cheese which happens to be what everyone wants to put in everything
>>21070384yeah? You wanna have some vienna sausages and a black porter beer with me?
>>21069698There is more to asian food besides panda express.
>>21068833The only things on that image that I dont like are mushrooms and salmon. I dont like shrimp either, but ive never had it fried like in the image. I literally eat tomatoes like an apple.
>>21068833anyone who will not eat absolutely anything put before them is a picky eater.there is no one on this planet that will do that. everyone has food they don't like.
>>21070440have some durian, with a fine cockroach milks sauce, sprinkled with ant larvae and say that again.
>>21070532no because I don't eat or drink garbage.
>>21070818Picky eater
I refuse to eat store bought sy mayo. Everything else in the image is fine. >>21068990I won't eat olives.
>>21070381I find broccoli that are stir fried or blanched, still retaining some crunch, taste pretty decent. Once you fully cook them or prepare them in any other way they always suck.Other foods that I dislike once you make them into a sauce, as long as you don't put much of it, they become palatable.One example that shocked me when I discovered it, pickled jalapenos I can't eat them normally unless you put them trough a blender with some pickling water. I have no explanation for this.
>>21068833I can eat everything from that pic except rare steaks. Dont miss me with that raw shit
>>21068833>Does it suckYes
>>21070253pure projection from the tendy eating neet that jerks off to tranny porn
>>21070381>beats taste like dirtThats their main appeal for me
>>21068833Blows my mind that people don't like onions. Most of the picky eater staples are still retarded, but you can mostly avoid things like mushrooms and olives, but onions are in like more than half of the commonly agreed on best dishes in the world.
>>21068833What a weird meme.>if you don't like shrimp you can't eat mayo, sorry I don't make the rulesAnd it makes it sound like a punishment.>if you're picky you don't get these foodsThat's the point?For the record I like all of these except steak, but the meme comes across like somebody in the double digit club is upset at a picky eater and can't figure out why.
>>21068833I'll eat everything from that except the tomatoes.I fucking hate tomatoes. But not the things they're made into.
>>21069748>muh science n' shietlook at the fucking thing. its a damn insect. living in the worlds piss jug instead of dirt doesn't make it any more palatable
>>21069581ive got a friend who wont eat hamburgers
the only thing i hate are bell peppers because they taste like dirt to melove me mushroomslove me 'rimplove me 'ishlove me steak'love me chickenlove me bangerslove me mayyolove me materslove me raw and cooked onionslove me olives
>>21068833They normally WILL eat skinless chicken breasts & ground beef. That's it.Mushrooms are fungus. Shrimp are "sea insects". Eggs are "dead baby fetuses". Tomatoes have texture and tang. Mayonnaise is too white and they remember it stuck in the corners of people's mouth and so on.Annoying "people"
>>21069586>because they're scared of the fact that is indeed a dead cooked corpseThat's why when it comes to chicken,it's Dino Nuggies™ for me.
>>21069750>Your facts can't change my feelings
No I'm not eating your raw piece of meat
>>21068833I can't say if it sucks to be a picky eater, but it most definitely sucks sharing a meal with one. Or talking to one. Or waiting for one to finish their fucking order.
>>21068833i have a gene that makes my tastebuds and smell sensitive to allium, i can kinda (almost barely) handle garlic in food, but its harder if its rawthe smell is just very intense for me, to the point where i cant even bother to take a bitecooked spinach also stinks like shit to me, but the smell becomes way less intense after being thoroughly cooked, but i still wouldnt want to take a bite, apparently eating alot of spinach can act as a poison for your stomach because of (oxalate?), but thats just my confirmation bias talking.anyway i would eat all of the food in that picture except the onions, tho i would only eat the sea bugs conditionally, i wouldnt go out of my way to eat themi dont like eating ze bugs
>>21072864watching violent retards get angry when faced with simple information in a non-confrontational manner will never not be funny
Yeah, I'm a picky eater. I pick it up and eat it!
>>21069725>soups and sandwichesThis always baffles me because there is such a myriad of different kids of these things that taste absolutely nothing like each other. It's like saying "i don't like condiments" or "i don't like music". It just makes no sense to me.
>>21068833I specifically hate the cheap shitty mushrooms they put on pizza. Nasty texture. I also hate corn because of texture and the taste is gross too. Corn on the cob makes me want to vomit. Also I fucking despise shredded coconut. That shit is vile it ruins so many perfectly good deserts with the texture of toenails. Fucking disgusting. Other than that stuff I'll eat anything
>>21069586There are more picky eaters on 4chan than most websites, lots of kids who were sat in front of a TV and were fed tendies through childhood. Probably trailer park trash.I've been called a picky eater for refusing to eat slop that wasn't prepared well, but I'm not picky in terms of ingredients.>>21073205Imagine niggers who won't eat anything but chicken breast, NO DARK MEAT
>>21073741I have a gene that makes cilantro taste like soap but apparently it isn't active and I wouldn't know if it didn't show up on a genetic test
>>21074349ive heard of that, genetics is so weirdso many genes are dormant too and even your parents dont display signs of them but you have them
>>21074264You've never eaten toenails you lying faggot.
>>21068833I eat anchovies, i am the final boss. Most people hate them, but eat them without knowing it lmao. >Fish oil used in asian cuisine >Worcestershire sauce >Ceaser dressing
>>21069576they do taste like spoiled nutsalthough it's a bit like saying alcohol tastes foul.of course it does. half of human liquid consumption is some form of foul fermented soup that we have barely made tasty through thousands of years of testing. simply because we like the sideeffect.liking mushrooms is a bit like enjoying feet.
>>21074658Liking mushrooms is not comparable to footfagging. You are just a little faggot
>>21070275Are you me?
>>21074065The people that make these claims are either habitually edgy or petulant. It has nothing to do with actual taste since as you point out, you can have two vastly different soups that are utterly unlike in flavor, texture, consistency, ingredients, etc, and said picky eater will claim to hate both. The only thing the soups have in common is that they are both referred to as soup, and the word is what the retard uses as their metric. It's an infantile mentality that the parents fostered and indulged and now normal adults have to deal with their bullshit.I've actually dumped two different women as a result of them being insufferable picky eaters.
>>21068833mayonnaise is too spicy
>>21074661Liking mushrooms is absolutely the footfaggotry of food. You basically have to enjoy the texture of used rubbers in your mouth to want to eat them.
>>21075753Try frying them until they are almost like chips. Sprinkle some salt. Also, wild mushrooms have more flavor. The generic white ones that are just called "mushrooms" are flavorless.
>>21075753Also, speaking of feet, Limburger is probably one of my favorite cheeses. If you like blue cheese, you will love limburger.
>>21074645One time I ordered a pizza with anchovies from a hole in the wall pizzeria. I could hear the worker audibly gagging as he was making it. Another voice kept saying "stop it, they're just anchovies". To which he would say nothing and just continued to gag.
>>21074645When I was a kid, I would eat anchovies right out of the jar by themselves. I could eat a whole jar in minutes.
>>21068833How is it that that image include fried chicken but not brussels sprouts?
>>21068833I am not a picky eater, but I do loathe eggs. I think it's because of that one week a while back when I made myself eat eggs every day. Got so sick of them, I could not eat them again.
>>21074658Feet smell like cheese, and most like cheese. The bacteria that causes foot smell, and like behind the ear smell, or asshole smell, is literally the same thing that gives cheese its flavor/smell
>>21076318Do feet smell like cheese, or... does cheese smell like feetThat is the question
>>21068833>hate eggs and all seafood, largely due to the smellThe only real problem for me is breakfast, most places insist on putting some nasty scramble on everything, so I prefer to eat breakfast at home. Seafood is less of an issue, although I do have to be careful with Asian food as it often contains shrimp in some form which I am actually allergic to.
>>21076346Eggs have a wonderful smell. Until you eat them, and then you remember why you don't like actually eating them. The rubbery texture doesn't help either.
>>21068833I would think that would suck, when you're in a social setting, but otherwise, just don't buy the shit you don't like and you're good to go.
>>21069203Eating pizza crust is like trying to eat the handlebars of a bicycle. It's there for one thing: to hold so you can put the slice into your mouth.
>>21077025Do you also leave the buns behind when you eat burgers?
>>21077058Would you use hamburger buns to steer your bicycle?
>>21077120If someone stole the grips from my handlebar, it would make for a mediocre but usable substitute.
>>21068833No such thing as a picky eater. There was an experiment involving black licorice (and often hated treat) wherein they made children who didn't like it eat one piece a day for a month. By day 14, all participants had acquired an affinity for black licorice. The researchers believe it was a part of the human genome that created aversion towards unfamiliar foods as a safety mechanism to protect the body against potentially toxic foods.Just eat it until you like it.
im just not going to eat it
>>21070384Then the term "picky eater" is meaningless, since nobody likes every food. Yet picky eaters exist, they're people who are actually picky about eating. Whether they can be described as "picky" is whether they are picky relative to what is normal.Not liking mayo doesn't make someone picky. That's just one of thousands of condiments. Maybe they'll still eat it without complaining, because they're not picky. Refusing to eat most condiments would make someone picky.Stop thinking you're superior because you force down food you hate and pretend you like it to seem sophisticated.
>>21068833The only meats my mom will eat are pre peeled shrimp and one specific variety of flounder from the local supermarket. One day I got fluke, a regional name for a local flounder, instead and she refused to eat it.
on a conceptual level, I will not eat brains, eyes, tongue, or snails
>>21069591Is there a bigger filter than fresh tomatoes for determining someone is a picky eater. I am aware most tomatoes from the store are shit but I've grown fresh tomatoes and given them to friends on a blt and they still don't like it.
>>21069903Shower at night. Go to bed clean wake up clean. Wash sheets once a week. Brush in the AM and PM before bed. Though I will admit to only brushing before bed.
>>21077423>Is there a bigger filter than [xyz] for determining someone is a picky eater.Ah yes, you are the superior eater. Anything you enjoy that someone does not makes them inferior.
>>21077445You're not a picky eater for disliking Durian, Chitlins, Pig feet or Deer heart. You're a picky eater for disliking common staple foods that are relatively benign. I'm not going to trust the food opinions of someone who can't like commonly available staples.
>>21068833mayo is disgusting and I don't give a fuck what you sayI also refuse to eat shrimp, it is a bug, I will not eat the sea bugseverything else is fair game though
Picky eaters are the fucking worst. You can't cook anything or go anywhere with them because all they wanna do is eat bland boring slop every day. And somehow they are not embarrassed about a being a wet blanket all the time. Everyone else must suffer in their presence because they are such queasy little pussies with toddler tier palates.
>>21077465oh my god I'm so sorry I won't eat mayoslop or sea bugswow its almost like I'll eat 99.999% of food except for the egg mixed with sneed oil and the mass farmed poop eaters
>>21077456>raw fruit>stapleNot sure you understand what staple foods are.
>>21077470>Common ingredient>Used in multiple favorite dishes across the world>Implying you can't eat it raw>Implying pico de gallo doesn't exist>Willfully ignoring its a common sandwich ingredientYou just blow in from retard town pal?
>>21077493>how can I make this about the jews?sad existence you've got there
>>21075761Limburger does not taste like blue cheese, tf you on about? I tastes like muenster on steroids
>>21077490>You just blow in from retard town pal?I was just passing through; it was nice to see you were elected mayor there for the 5th term in a row.
>>21075831>eats eggs every day for one week one time>now despises all eggs all the timekek you're a picky eater at heart, you just tricked yourself into thinking otherwise.
>>21077523So no counter argument? Got it.
>>21077456>everyone else likes x, so i have to like x too and so do you!If you're not a swiftie you're a massive hypocrite.If you are, you're a gigafaggot that licks windows.Congrats, you just invalidated all your opinions on food and everything else subjective.
>>21070384Not liking all women makes you a picky bachelor.You don't eat gas station egg salad? Wow what a picky eater. Not gonna have the Indian street handfood? Wow, immature, what a picky eater. Eat my asshole and then we'll see how picky you are.
>>21077530Counter argument to what? Your feelings on weather or not someone likes a specific food or ingredient? What for? Thats like arguing on your feelings surrounding levels of carbonation in water.
>>21068833I kind of understand most of them but I've never met someone who doesn't like rotisserie chicken legs
>>21072872Straight to guantanamo bay for that radical
>>21070587No there's not other than soup
>>21077537>Comparing a subjective interest that is music to something more objective like food.Music is based on trends but staples exists in diets for a reason. Those two reasons are normally that a country produces a lot of that food or sincerely likes that food and sometimes both. Pizza and Pasta is very popular around the world and has been for decades thats not blindly liking something or following trends thats something becoming an established dish through societal acceptance. Again I understand why people would not be the biggest fan of crappy store tomatoes but a garden fresh tomato is the biggest pro of a deli sandwich or BLT and makes the best pico de gallo. I've not heard any other reason that people don't eat tomatoes other than "They are flavorless and watery" problems solved with garden fresh ones.
>>21077564You're correct. The only tomatoes I'll eat, are the ones I grew. I'll cut off a huge fucking slice and put it on bread with just salt and pepper, yet with the commercial maters, even the thinnest slice is too much for any sandwich because it's so fucking awful
>>21069748>Insects are crustaceansRetard. Insects and crustaceans are both arthropods (things with exoskeletons).
>>21068833>people who can't eat normal foods most people enjoy on a regular frequencyIt's not that they "can't", it's that they've convinced themselves that they can't. Everyone has some foods they don't care for but you have to be a special kind of person (not a good kind) to refuse eating something just because it contains one ingredient you dislike.
>>21077564>Comparing a subjective interest that is food to something more objective like music.Food is based on trends but staples exists in music for a reason. Those two reasons are normally that a country produces a lot of instruments or sincerely likes a sound and sometimes both. Guitars and rock are very popular around the world and have been for decades that's not blindly liking something or following trends that's something becoming an established genre through societal acceptance.Music and food are exactly as subjective as each other, as evidenced by the fact that your arguement sounds identical and makes perfect sense when utilized for the opposing stance.Also, tomatoes taste like how a bad bowel movement smells but sweet.
>>21068833There is nothing wrong with being a picky eater. There is no better way to assert your dominance on a tomato than to take it off and pour ketchup where it once was.
>>21077660Insects are crustaceans, so are arachnids. Keep up with modern science dork. I bet you still think T Rex stood up straight
>>21068833No, they only eat what they want,it sucks if you dont cool for yourself though.Like my brother who NEEDS to have turkey when mom is making pork.She buys extra turkey just for him and then often cooks two dishes.
>>21077925Music didn't become widly accessible to the public until the invention of the radio. I guess you could again flip my argument and make the point that spices and many cooking techniques didn't become widely accessible either but I personally find msuic much more objective. Its hard to pretend to like bad food weather we admit it or not most of us eat for enjoyment. Its much easier to pretend to like bad music.
>>21078735*find music much more subjective
>>21068833Yes
>>21069591If the tomatoe slices are cooked they taste 1000x better
>>21077025The handle is made of bread, when you finish the slice you can then eat the handle
>>21079718I grew roma tomatoes in my garden and made salsa with the jalapenos i also grew. Great salsa. I would never eat a roma tomato by itself.
>>21078735>Music didn't become widly accessible to the public until the invention of the radioWhat the fuck is this absolute lunatic talking aboutSinging is music, you stupid moronWork songs and sea shanties are music. Kids sing. Folk music and street music goes back to before the fucking Romans. You are out of your goddamned mind.
>>21077564>subjective interest that is music/mu/ would like to have a word with you
>>21068833Picky eaters are childish. Simple as.Most people are picky when they're children. Then they get older and start trying new things, expanding their palettes. It was like this for me as well, I was a picky kid and now I'll eat almost anything. That's growing up, maturity. Picky eaters are man/womanchildren. But at least women have the excuse that their hormonal cycles change their tastes. Full-grown men who are picky eaters are just pathetic.
>>21068990Geen pimento, black, or Greek?
>>21080272It's palate. Palette is what painters use. Pallet is what warehouses use.t. picky eater
>>21080272they aren't childish, they just don't eat whatever garbage is thrown at them.
>>21075761limburger tastes like cum
>>21080560how do you know that?
>>21068833im a picky eater and i eat all of those (well only raw salmon, it gets fishy tasting when you cook it)i like sausage i just hate when its gristly as fuck, mushroom only suck if they're cooked wrong and get all slimy otherwise they're fine
>>21080534this!>>21080272i've tried many things, doesn't mean i'm automatically going to like them, that's like me saying "why don't you eat more candy as a adult, there's so many unique flavors to experience?" and in reality you know that 99% of them are fucking nasty variations of something that was nasty in the first place like warheads Well the same for "adult foods" like i know canned tuna tastes like stagnate bay water and rotten fish assholes so i know eel is going to taste just as bad. Every seafood tastes exactly the same stagnate bay water and rotten fish assholes, sure they all have their own unique flavor that might be good but the prevailing flavor in stagnate bay water and rotten fish assholes
>you don't eat insects? PICKY EATER
>only thing i wont eat on the list is tomatophew. i made it
>>21068990My racism apparently extends to olives because I enjoy every variant except the black ones. Black olives can suck my dick. If you eat them on pizza, then fuck you for ruining a perfectly good pizza.
I'm a picky eater and the only thing I wouldn't eat here is onions. Onions are the only food that inconvenience me really, since they're so common. The other foods I don't eat like broccoli or cauliflower are more rare so aren't an issue if eating out
All of my family is picky but they're all picky about different things. It's a nightmare trying to cook something fancier than potatoes and ground beef, or chicken breast and rice for them.
>>21080649I agree with you except for:>Every seafood tastes exactly the same stagnate bay water and rotten fish assholes, sure they all have their own unique flavor that might be good but the prevailing flavor in stagnate bay water and rotten fish assholesI was the same way when i was younger because I cannot stand anything that tastes fishy, but there is plenty of seafood that does not taste of fish when extremely fresh, either raw or cooked. Flatfish (fluke, sole, flounder etc), striped bass, cod and grouper come to mind. Scallops (unless extremely high quality and under 1 day old), certain crabs, and swordfish are only good cooked, and tuna is only good raw. If you live in flyover country I don't blame you for not liking anything that comes from the sea, I imagine everything i mentioned would taste fishy if it has to be transported hundreds of miles inland first.
>>21068833>grow up in flyover country>parents cook almost nothing but frozen food or boxed shit>I actually gagged when trying to force it down >I get fed up and learn to cook for myself>They squirm whenever I want them to try real food (especially dad)
>>21077120Would you use pizza crust to steer your bicycle you stupid fucking nigger? What the fuck kind of point is that?
>>21070381Bullshit picky eater cope.People with sensitive hearing do not become "picky listeners".It is easily demonstrable that taste is learned and can be changed even as an adult.
i used to be a picky eater when i was really obese now i eat everything except for stuff that my mom used to make that still makes me gag to this day likespinach with cod and cream cheesei love eating all of these 3 things in isolation but there is just sth about the cod juice mixing with the spinach that is incredibly disgusting, idk
>>21082320i actually agree with you but the majority of people eat half rotting fish that taste like hot ass and then act like that is normal and how it should taste.Im friends with a commercial fisherman that hooks me up with fresh swordfish and occasionally spiny lobster but if im at a restaurant i avoid seafood like the plague
>>21069758>I don't like the feeling of milk in my mouthdoubtful
>>21070381being this kind of faggot is like being too retarded to wear clothes because feeling cloth on your skin is "overstimulating" or "hurts" like you're wrapped in sandpaper. get past it
>>21077189its about the reaction>don't prefer somethingokay>act like something you don't prefer is actual poison and you will puke, cry, and die if you have to eat even the tiniest biteclear retard
>>21068833fuck bell peppers useless vegetable
ive never understood if being a picky eater is a simple binary or a thin line on the sandi like onions in stews, soups, risottos, and its subtle flavor when done well, but i dislike when they are overpowering or its texture come in the way, am i picky eater for this?i like carrots, boiled, steamed, baked, fried, but I dont like them raw, while for a lot of people the opposite is true, whos the picky eater here? me, them, both, or none?i say to a lot of people that "i dont like pasta", this is a lie. i just prefer every other type of carb over pasta, but i still eat it and buy from time to timewhile at someones house ill eat anything they give me out of respect, it happened many times that ive never seen something, didnt even listen what it was, and just ate it out of respect. sometimes it was fine, sometimes not, ive never spit it out, but some i wouldnt repeati know a lot of picky eaters, people that wont eat anything besides 5 different dishes, or people that refuse anything that is slightly green. but here in /ck/ it seems the line for picky eaters is differenti still dont get it desu, knowing the extremes is easy, but kinda hard to decided about the people closed to the line
>>21085974>i dislike when they are overpowering or its texture come in the way, am i picky eater for this?yes. if you won't eat everything put in front of you, you are a picky eater.
>>21076318I love eating cheese and also assit's the poetry
>>21086466Users should really have to be 18+ to post here.
>>21086361>yes. if you won't eat everything put in front of you, you are a picky eater.as stated above:>while at someones house ill eat anything they give me out of respect, it happened many times that ive never seen something, didnt even listen what it was, and just ate it out of respect. sometimes it was fine, sometimes not, ive never spit it out, but some i wouldnt repeati guess, by your definition, im not a picky eater
I don’t like salad>you don’t like vegetablesraw vegetables seem pointless, least cook them, a roast or stir-fry is way better. I don’t want to eat raw zucchini or tomatoes or onion.
>>21081711I like the sorta metallic taste black olives have
former picky eater here. most all foods are good-palatable now but if they arent deep fried shrimp are uniquely gross to me. all other seafood, has a much better texture imo
>>21069576I don't like "real" forest mushrooms. They tastes like rot and dirt.But I quite like button mushrooms.
>>21069596I'd assume that the thread topic excuses aversions due to medical reasons.
With age I have become more omnivorous
>>21068833>can't have?More like 'refuse to eat'. Fuck them.
>>21069687*brokEN
>>21069689Yes you can eat all of it. Don't be a baby.
>>21077431The only person who doesn't sweat in his sleep. Congrats. You're going to work gross and itchy. You're going to work without having a shower in like ten hours. I'm glad I don't work with you. Your brain is less effective while you're unshowered.
>>21077466You're shit.
>>21080280Good work. Glad to know I'm not the only one on the job.
>>21068833I can't have>Red meat>Dairy>Green olives>Cottage cheese>EggplantThat's pretty much it tho
>>21068833My baby brother is vey picky with his foods, but he is autistic so that is most likely why picky eaters exist. I can only eat mayo when the taste is covered up, tho.
>>21088162stay mad, child
>>21088718>veyFound ze jew
>>21088850not a jew, my 'r' is fucky but it is funny it came out 'vey'
>>21068833yeah it sucks, a friend of mine hates cumin and didn't have any food last time she was over because the cook had put some in. She was very apologetic about it but it was awkward just having her sit there not eating, sucked for everyone involved including the cook who for some reason felt guilty, only to do it again the next time we ate together lmao.I'm very grateful to have experienced poverty young enough to outgrow my picky eater habits, the number of times I've seen picky eaters miss out on great food because they were afraid...it would make me mad if I didn't understand. Usually I get to eat their share which helps the anger somewhat.
>>21069777>Picky eaters are just weak people who are scared to leave their comfort zoneA lot of them have had a bad experience with the food item they avoid, be it physical or emotional ('mom used to force me to eat brussel sprouts when I misbehaved', someone in a rideshare told me this once). A few have genuine stomach or dietary issues that aren't clearly diagnosed and are often just food-related anxiety (yes, yes I'm not making this up) which makes them avoid anything they haven't privately tested and vetted beforehand. But like 90 percent are the way you describe them though, I had a friend swear he hated all cheeses when I met him, this NYE's eve he was scarfing down Morbier faster than anyone. People are scared of food when they could very well just try it and decide later if they like it enough to continue eating or not, they just need encouragement.
>>21069825I'm in the exact same case. I barely touch sugar, tea or coffee and still have weak-ass teeth riddled with cavities despite following all dentist's advice since I was kid wearing braces. On top of that I can't drink cold liquids too fast or it shocks my left bottom wisdom tooth, so I have to do this retarded inner slosh to bring the liquid to temperature if I want to savor something.I think it's genetic because my mom has similar weak teeth and my brother has a perfect smile despite brushing only every few days and stuffing his mouth with sugar as a pastry chef
>>21084814if he genuinely has a condition he can't get past it anon. In college I worked in a care center for mentally handicapped adults and some would sperg out if exposed to too much sudden bright light or touched a fabric that they disliked. Most of them were just slow or scarred by traumatic experiences/drugs, but there were a few that fit your description.
>>21071685I thought the same, also eggs? wtf who doesn't like the easiest form of breakfast after cereal?I did notice it's a red onion in the image though, maybe it means specifically the raw red onion you sometime find in salads or sandwiches?
>>21074458I once clipped my toenails into a bowl, forgot about it for a few hours then proceeded to make instant noodles in it. Shredded coconut does not taste like toenails and it doesn't shred your lip from the inside either.
>>21068833When I was a kid i was an insanely picky eater. In my early 20s I basically said to myself "stop being a faggot and eat" everythong took time to begin enjoying (and fish took the longest) but I'm so glad I forced myself tongrow out of being a picky eater. If I was still eating mainly hot dogs and cheezeits I would probably kill myself.
>>21075770i still do this sometimes, I grew to like anchovies when I realized getting them on my pizza meant no one would try and snag a piece
>>21089702>I think it's geneticIt's not. All human teeth are made of the same shit in the same quantities. Differences in tooth decay come from differences in the bacterial strains that populate your mouth (when other factors are controlled for). The reason decay patterns tend to be hereditary is because you often inherit your oral microbiome from your parents (and most likely your mother in particular in western culture). Your brother was lucky to have gotten initially colonized from a different source, which probably protected him from inheriting your mom's microbiome like you did.
>>21075753there's so many different kinds of mushrooms though. I'd say they're not as great as mushroom hunters hype them up to be, but to generalize all mushrooms in such a negative way wtf, it's just blatantly false. Might as well say all meat tastes like metallicy blood.
>>21089724>Your brother was lucky to have gotten initially colonized from a different sourcethis begs for a joke
>>21077161>Just eat it until you like it.This is true for pretty much all experiences that aren't harmful to you though. If you do something enough you'll enjoy it enough to continue and might even grow to genuinely like it.
>>21075753I'm not familiar with the feeling of used rubbers in my mouth. I take it you're an expert?
>>21089729nta but mushrooms just feel like what I'd imagine dystopian food rations to be. Most of them are so neutral and uninteresting, I have no issues eating them but also no reason to ever want them
>>21077456eh, if you travel a bit 'staple food' loses all meaning. People in Flores made fun of me for not liking durian even though on Java it's widely seen as a niche food despite it's popularity. People in France mocked me for not enjoying jellied pig's feet and this old guy was horrified to see me eat corn since he'd never used it for anything than feeding his livestock. It all depends on where you are.
>>21069603No bread then huh? Or beer?
>>21089736lmao that's where my mind went as well>>21089724is there a way to change your oral microbiome?>>21089744I used to feel the same way until I moved to a country where mushroom picking was a common hobby. I still don't appreciate all the subtleties of different flavors and textures, the right time to pick a mushroom etc but I look forward to autumn every year now because of mushrooms, it's expanded my culinary options even though I still think it's way overrated (besides truffle since it's so pungent).They'd probably make an excellent dystopian food staple given how easy it was to grow scallops in my basement.
>>21089762>is there a way to change your oral microbiome?It's pretty difficult once you have one established, and it depends on what your goals are. If you want the microbiome of a particular other person, you need a pretty aggressive round of oral antibiotics (the kind you swish in your mouth a lot and that a dentist can give you, not a kind that you swallow) and then very vigorously make out with your donor, involving a lot of teeth scraping (just swapping saliva is nowhere near enough).If that's too hard, there's also a biotech company that recently started shipping an engineered strain of tooth bacteria that can out-compete your native bacteria (it produces an extremely mild antibiotic that it's immune to itself, so it slowly overtakes your native bacteria) and it also doesn't produce lactic acid like the strain it replaces does, so it drastically reduces your rate of tooth decay and cavities. Can't really recommend infecting yourself with experimental engineered tooth bacteria, but it's a surprisingly cheap option if you want to go that route.
>>21089791>biotech company that recently started shipping an engineered strain of tooth bacteria that can out-compete your native bacteriaThis is so cool, ty anon
>>21069808>32>brush less than five times a year>smoke occasionally>zero cavities>dentist says they look good every year I know it will catch up to me one day, but thank God for good genes.
>>21068833>Does it really suck to be a picky eater?Not really, you just love the things you eat.I'm relatively picky and sausages, chicken legs, tomatoes, onions, sometimes mushrooms, eggs (scrambled only and overcooked) are all on the menu.
>>21089704I can accept this, I'm ok with picky eaters who concede that it is a disability and that they are simply too retarded to exist without constant tending to their care needs. More frequently, they like to behave as though it is somehow righteous of them to be this way. I suspect your retards don't carry around a sense of superiority for being afraid of bright lights or scratchy fabric.
>>21090242>sense of superiority for being afraid of bright lights or scratchy fabricnot for that specifically but you'd be surprised. I remember an older person at that job telling me about the time one guy in the care center got the first iPhone right as it came out. Apparently it made people there treat him different (they're all obsessed with gadgets and spend their hard earned money on retarded trinkets and fads) and he started thinking he was hot shit, made fun of the nurses flipphones every time he saw one. They're still people so they run the same range of emotion and dickishness we do.
>>21090523Bad example, everyone who buys an iphone acts like that
>>21068833I haven't met a picky eater that wouldn't eat steak or sausages.It's always the>lmao vegans amiritecrowd that's the picky eaters that won't touch the other things in your pic.
my roommate is a picky eater and it's great incentive to cook stuff a little out of my comfort zone because it means I get it all to myself
add bell pepperscan't stand them
>>21069187>That's trueyou would know
>>21068833People who dislike these only eat the following>nuggets>mac n cheese>instant ramen>french fries>grilled cheese>plain pizza
>>21090970I've met a lot of people who are scared of rare meat (if you're eating steak well done you're just eating garbage essentially), a lot of people's fear of sausages seems to come from other "mystery meat" conspiracy theory or the fact that they bit into a fennel seed once and now are convinced all sausage has "bones in it"
>>21068980>I would think so yes, though I don't like mushrooms.That's what you think, but every mushroom you know is the shitty button mushroom in the OPs pic. Other mushrooms can actually taste good.
>>21068833the only thing I can't eat in this image is the shrimp, I'm allergic to shrimp and it makes the path it takes down my throat itch, it's sometimes worth it though
>>21069203>>21077025unless the bread is well buttered, or if there is garlic butter or any type of dip around
>>21068833my brother only ever ate kraft mac'n cheese and pizza.he fucked his digestive system and now he can only eat steak if he doesn't want to risk hour long bathroom breaks.
>>21068833i like everything on that image except the beef.yes, that's probably a weird thing to dislike since i'm a burger and beef/burgers are a staple in my homeland.but at least i also have a healthy bmi
>>21068990
>>21068990>olivesOlives are weird for me. I actually like them as an ingridient in salads and other dishes or topping on pizza. But they taste quite unpleasant on their own for some reason.
>>21068833Has anyone else experienced that there is an extremely high correlation with being a picky eater and being a complete fucking idiot?
>>21091470Why?
>>21092247>actually like them as an ingridienti bet you do lol
>>21077456I have only a few things I'm picky about:cooked spinach (wilted in pasta is fine but I prefer it raw)zucchinieggplant (but it's fine in some pastes)Other than that I eat pretty much anything. I also don't like mayonnaise and white fish but it's nothing worth complaining about
>>21068833I'm a picky eater and I eat most of the things in this image
>>21093625Picky about what?
>>21092255Everyone has experienced this, aversion to new experiences is a trait that renders a person useless across the board. Picky eating is the just the most obvious symptom
>>21093635I eat most meats but I don't eat fruits or vegetablesI don't eat a lot of condiments and dairy products either
>>21070608I can eat raw onion, it's tasty.
