What does /ck/ think of picky eaters?
>>21914302you already know we don’t like them. the only place they get sympathy is autism support groups
>>21914302>picky eatersyou mean "men of distinction"?
>>21914302I prefer to think of it as Diet Optimization.
Whatever works for them, but picky eaters have one of the least budget friendly diets and economically they are fucked.
>>21914302I dont let it bother me. Everyone has something about them that's going to look weird to someone else. Look past the superficial and see them for them.
>>21914302There's nothing wrong with any of the pictured foods.
>>21914302Worthless motherfuckers eating a hamburger at a steakhouse, pizza and fries at a Chinese buffet. The worst of the worst.
>>21914302they are almost as bad as the people who bitch at people for not liking a specific thing. nobody like everything. Stop pretending. it doesnt make you seem cool or sophisticated
>>21914304Fpbp>>21914572Nope but if that's all you eat then you're a failure>>21914566Yep. Pickiness doesn't exist when you're in dire need. In fact, picky eaters as a concept didn't really exist before the end of WW2. Can't really afford to be picky during the Great Depression
I don't mind picky eaters as long as it's something consistent. Some texture or taste they don't like that can be avoided.What I can't fucking stand is people like my father that just arbitrarily decide they won't eat something and/or refuse to eat leftovers.No eggs in anything, ever, they're disgusting! Except in every baked dish and custard! Lemon bars are my favorite!Any spice beyond black pepper? Oh god it's too spicy it's inedible! Butter Chicken? No way that looks gross I won't eat Indian food. Mmm but hey what about a thick chicken stew! How about pizza? Just make sure it's the thinnest crust imaginable with as many greasy toppings as possible, and if a single vegetable grazes the pie I won't touch it. Also this calzone I had stuffed with onions and peppers one time was great!I gave up trying to actually cook meals for him a long time ago. Frozen pizza, burgers, packaged fried chicken (he won't eat homemade), maybe white people tacos or soup on occasion.
I fucking hate picky eaters. I hope they end up on an island and starve to learn a lesson
>>21914302how many foods am I allowed to dislike before I am a picky eater?
>>21914793I would say if you constantly are naming stuff you don't like when asked, instead of stuff you like. If you eat 10 or less different foods then you're really picky. But I don't know if there's a number that's agreed upon
>>21914302my dad is a picky eater. the only thing he eats out of these 4 is the hotdogs. he doesnt like pizza, mac and cheese or nuggets.i wish i had other parents cause mine are incredibly retarded, so much I sometimes think I was switched at birth or something. there's probably a family with fairly intelligent parents stuck with a mouthbreather for a kid.
>>21914784You probably don't know this because you are dumb, but tacos are mexican food.
There are a few flavors I don't like but I probably wouldn't send the dish back if they were included. Picky eaters who retch at the idea of putting normal edible food is strange to me. Like I don't like ginger, but if I was forced to eat a piece of ginger, I'd chew and swallow and it would be gone, no big deal
>>21914302THE LEADING HORSE IS WHITETHE SECOND HORSE IS REDTHE THIRD ONE IS BLACKTHE LAST ONE IS GREENhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GTuPI9or0do
>>21914983Yes, tacos are Mexican food.He does not eat tacos.He eats ground beef with old el paso seasoning and sour cream and shitty shredded cheese in corn "taco shells"
>>21914302>>21914304But what does everyone think about "forcey feeders"? the opposite arch nemesis of the picky eaters, the ones that want to force everyone to eat EXACTLY the foods that they don't like for no reason?>>21914571>I dont let it bother me. Everyone has something about them that's going to look weird to someone else. Look past the superficial and see them for them.>>21914760>they are almost as bad as the people who bitch at people for not liking a specific thing. nobody like everything. Stop pretending. it doesnt make you seem cool or sophisticatedBASED
>>21914302they have a much stronger sense of taste and smell. they smell and taste things that normies do not. food that taste perfectly fine to you will taste and smell disgusting. super tasters are less likely to get food poisoning.
>>21914566incorrect.there is not one person on the planet who is not a picky eater. no one will eat absolutely any edible and safe food. even you.
>>21915080Oh, you mean white people tacos.
>>21915110sorry, cum got in my eyes and I responded to the wrong post
>>21915102Not always. Sometimes it's visual, sometimes it's about a single ingredient (real or imagined), there are more reasons for pickiness than just being a super taster.
not wanting to eat certain foods isn't being picky it's having preferences. if someone doesn't want to listen to rap music that doesn't make him a picky listener and if you don't want to bang fat chicks you aren't a picky fucker. eating anything that's put in front of you like a hog isn't not being picky, it's being indiscriminate.
>>21916607Even the whiney, faggy healthy eaters have preferences, but that's not the point. Picky Eater is more of a cultural monicker for adults who eat large portions of the typical choices of a restaurant's Kid's Menu. It's used to label people who never evolved their palate and also tend to act immature.
>>21914304Being borderline level two on the autism support scale sucks but thank God that I somehow avoided the picky eater brain fuck up. Maybe that gene or whatever got repurposed into being extremely annoyed by picky eaters. There are some friends who I never eat with because they make such a huge production of their food pickiness. If we're stopping in a fast food place to eat, I just want to eat and leave instead of expecting the minimum wage person in the back who can't speak English to get anything other than the default correct.
>>21914302So what kind of person am I if I like all 4?
>>21916627>interpreting words based on emotional associations rather than their conventional or intended meaningAre you a woman or just naturally retarded?
You have to understand the picky eater has come through a childhood of misery to reach this point. They didn't suddenly become what they are in adulthood. They had these autistic preferences straight out of the cradle and were browbeaten about it by their parents for years, subjected to scenarios of being told the unacceptable item was the only item available for them to eat, that they would receive nothing else that day. Their parents may have tried to force feed them. They may have opened their lunch boxes at school to find that once again an unacceptable item had been packed for them. I did get less picky as an adult but the scars from childhood still left a certain bitterness. And yes I'm autistic. >>21916634The picture is pointing out things picky eaters near universally like, as a rule. Personally I hated mac and cheese though.
>>21916595For me a lot of it was/is textural. I like orange juice but i cannot tolerate eating oranges, for example.
>>21916627how many things are you allowed to not like before you become a picky eater?
Preference: I'd like a Whopper with Cheese, hold the onions, no mayo pleasePicky: Give me Whopper with just meat and cheese. Nothing else! Nothing else! I hate vegetables and you always fuck this up. MEAT AND CHEESE ONLY!!!! No vegetables!And then when the wage slave doesn't understand that meant no mayo, the picky eater throws a temper tantrum that not only is annoying to the mouth breathers behind the counter but also to everyone in the blast radius of the shitty attitude. A picky eater can't calmly walk up to the counter and say "Looks like someone made a mistake, I didn't want mayo on this" and let the staff fix the problem. They have to go into a meltdown over it and shit up the social atmosphere of wherever they are.
>>21916647Nah. Pretty sure you're just regular retarded.
>>21916647Oh, my bad for misunderstanding OPs image.
This channel is picky eater cringe kino https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WTztrUyPcR4
>>21914302I understand them because I'm 43 and still can't tolerate mushrooms but I mostly just feel bad for them. They are missing out on so many delicious meals because of stupid brain chemistry.
>>21914793Don't worry you'll let us know.
>>21914302Unironically I became a picky eater against hot dogs. Does anyone know how to make non-gross ones?
>>21915080>my father doesn't eat tacos>he eats the things that can make up a taco in taco form but it doesn't count because I'm racist
>>21916793When you reach into the cooler and grab the Bar-S brand put your hand back into the cooler and let go and choose a different brand.
>you dont like the food i like>this makes you a picky eater
>REEEEEEEEEEEEEE WHY ARE YOU EATING PINEAPPLE ON PIZZA
>>21914302Normal people hate meals.Picky eaters hate ingredients. Simple as.
>>21916687I worked fast food for a year and as a sous chef wagie for another couple. I never had a customer like that.
>>21916794You can't be racist towards picky eaters.
>>21914576I will continue to order burgers at Outback, fuck you.

https://www.youtube.com/shorts/dgfLmj3BLYsOther than the whole vegetarian thing, are there picky eaters in India?
>>21914302Genuinely subhuman. My dnd group has one of these and throws a legitimate fit or acts passive aggressive for the rest of the session if we want to have food delivered that doesn't have fries, tendies, mozzarella sticks or pizza.
God bless, may they find peace(s of mushrooms, tomatoes, mayonaisse, all the bell peppers in their Mac n cheese tomorrow)
ITT picky eaters getting triggered
My schizo friend will eat them same thing for months then eat something new for months. Curently its wendy burgers and snicker bars. He doesnt like chicken unless its chicken and waffles
>>21917332That's adorable
>>21916687a burger only needs mustard, ketchup, meat, cheese, and pickles. i will die on this hill. onion are fine and good as long as they arent saturn rings like on the whopper.
>>21914302I need my dinosaur nugs to be made out of real dinosaur
My brother is Type 1 diabetic and pretty much only eats pizza, plain burgers, and taco bell with no toppings on rotation, plus copious amounts of red wine. He's probably going to lose a foot one day.
>>21914302
>>21917336you’ll die on this hill? why? it’s such an obvious matter of personal preference, I don’t get how you can insist you are objectively right. also it’s nice not having to modify all the food I order, I’m cool with whatever 99% of the time. easier and much less chance of it getting fucked up
>>21917373Hell yeah, red wine rules. Is he fun to hang out with when he's drunk?
>>21914302I used to be a picky eater because I'm autistic, but I've been eating wider varieties since my mid 20s. I'm 34 now and willing to try pretty much anything at this point.
>>21916687My dad won't even eat cheese. He gets plain burgers with just ketchup.
>>21917411I bet he has nightmares about sour cream
>>21914302My sister is such a picky eater she won't eat mac & cheese unless it's baked, not stove top.
I’ve been a pretty picky eater my whole life, but not to the extent that I’d only eat 4 or 5 foods. Probably had something to do with chronic ear infections as a child that my mom said when I was in pain, I’d only eat plain yogurt. To the point where I was losing weight as a 1 year old. This apparently went on for years. As I grew up, my mom would make generally good food but would not let us leave the table without eating vegetables: cooked peas, carrots, corn, etc. I couldn’t stomach them to the point where I’d throw up all over my plate and the table and my parents still insisted I finish whatever arbitrary amount they thought was sufficient. This lasted til I was 12. That kind of shit night after night fucked me up good and I still don’t eat any cooked veggies. I’m 36 and have been able to eat salad (just lettuce and dressing) for about 8 years. I started eating Mexican food around 10 years ago. American Chinese is great as long as it’s light on fish sauce. I don’t eat cheese that’s not melted, any sort of vegetable that’s not a raw baby carrot, avoid any and all seafood, eggs that aren’t covered in hot sauce, or cold lunch meat. I just started being able to eat cooked onions that are in Japanese or Chinese food. It’s been a slow process, but overall I think I’m in as good of a place as I can be given the circumstances. This year I started eating mustard with hot dogs and cheeseburgers, and I actually prefer it. I really wish I was able to enjoy stuff like fish and eggs. Probably not in the cards for me though, bros.
>>21917463That's adorable
>>21914302Most are the result of bad parenting. Even the cases that are legitimately a result of sensitivity to taste/texture as you get with autism can be easily 'solved' by gradual introduction of new foods. People will tell you it's something deeply impossible to handle and just neurological bad luck but weirdly you essentially never see someone who's got a preference for healthy food, raw vegetables or whatever it's apparently a medical condition that weirdly results in only enjoyable outcomes. In this regard it's like ADHD, chronic pain and so on: conditions that only prevent unpleasant activities.All of the above fail to be present in poor countries where there's no option.
>>21915102>they have a much stronger sense of taste and smell. they smell and taste things that normies do not. food that taste perfectly fine to you will taste and smell disgusting. super tasters are less likely to get food poisoning.If this were true they'd still be able to eat potatoes, rice, stews, soups basically anything bongs would eat. I've also rarely met one who won't chug soda or eat other things with strong tastes that are just junk food.
>normal parenting: I got my child a stuffed duck but he didn't like it>anti picky eater parenting: I got my child a stuffed duck but he didn't like it so I keep putting the duck in his crib even though it makes him cry
>>21917905>>21917710>>21916647>muh mommy made me eat stuff I don't like so now I'm a picky eater!You've been an adult for years, you can CHOOSE to stop being a picky eater any time you want. If you're gonna blame your poor mother for her difficulties raising you, imagine what it was like for her.
What's the cause of picky eating? Is it vaccines? Childhood trauma?
>>21916568Hate it when that happens
>>21916627I'm a grown ass man and I love all of that except for fish and chips
>>21917948I chose to stop eating broccoli as an adult because it tastes like shit and there's no one around to force me to eat it anyway
>>21918163I'm gonna force feed you broccoli until you're absolutely full and then rub your stuffed belly.
>>21915080Hombre...
>>21914302Nothing wrong with it so long as you get your proper nutrients.
>>21917714>they'd still be able to eat potatoesNo, one of the big problems with fruit/vegetables for picky eaters is their inconsistency to have the same taste/texture every single time. And I'm not even talking about different varieties, even the same variety can taste differently depending on age, season, storage conditions, etc.
>>21914793Zero.
>>21915080As if real Mexicans don't eat all that as well.
They're not picky at all when it comes to greedily gobbling down yard long black cocks
>>21914302Pizza and Hotdogs are good, chicken nuggets are okay, but I never cared for mac and cheese
>>21914302You keep some variation of these items-battered protein, chicken or fish-boxed mac and cheese-frozen pizza-sausagesand use them when you're too tired or pressed for time to make something from scratch'pantry staples' because they can be kept for longer, always eat fresh when you can, don't be an autist retard
>Immediately descends into autist semantics and "let people enjoy things"It was....to be expected
>>21918186>>21918391
>>21918341I've never seen a Mexican even work at Taco Bell desu senpai
The mods of this board are fucking gay.

>/ck/ endlessly hating picky eaters>meanwhile threads about anything else than the most basic shitty slopfood either die on arrival or are shitposted into oblivion
>>21914302I was so picky as a kid I wouldn't even eat mac n cheese or hotdogs, nor burgers or any kind of mexican food. Thank god I grew out of that.When it comes to picky eaters who ONLY feel comfortable eating bland slop, I don't think that kind of attitude should be enabled or respected. All it is is an irrational, infantile fear of trying new things
>>21914302It's actually more of a woman thing than an autistic thing from my observations desuI think picky eaters are basically grown children i.e women.
>>21914784To be fair, I don't eat Indian food because I watch video shorts of Indian Street food, and I have read more than enough 4chan and forum posts proving Indians think of food safety as an afterthought.
>>21920012You
>>21916763That's not sushi, this is tushi
>>21920296Bruh this is just like Harry Potter, Handmaid's tale, LOTR and Idiocracy combined.
>>21914302I don't like green peas, sue meI don't like hot dogs either
>>21914302All this says is that picky eaters come from white trash families that shovel slop into their kids.
>>21914302I've never had a picky eater try to convert me to a diet of dino nuggies and hot dogs, or invite me out for their birthday, except surprise surprise, it a pizza place that *only* does cheese pizza. Had a vego mate pull that shit a few times. He could pick a place that does veggie/vegan AND normal pizzas, but instead he decides everyone else can pay for vegan cheese and lifeless dough because of his lifestyle choice. Yet he'd be the first to bitch if you invite him somewhere that didn't have vegan options.Or my mate who married a Muslim who got snarky because I mentioned that I had bacon on my burger in front of his MIL. It's not like I went out of my way to rub bacon in the scrags face either, I was asked what I had on my burger.Or the bitch I knew that decided to go gluten free and then would constantly try to convince everyone that it was the ultimate panacea.I'll take the autist that only wants chicken tendies and mac and cheese over the holier than thou faggots who think everyone should eat their specific diet.
>>21914302My gf is vaguely autistic and while she's not a super picky eater, she's prone to getting in moods where the concept of eating is way too much and she just wont eat. It doesn't help that she's tight with her money so there's often not that much good food in her pantry.It's really retarded.Anyway I think everyone gets to have two things that they genuinely cannot eat.
>>21917336>i will die on this hillsuch an odious reddit cliche. imagine the kind of “person” who talks like this. this is the paradigmatic “picky eater”
>>21914784yeah I have never seen in manifested in any way but really stupid obstinacy about brand names or abstractions that obviously doesn't even have some basis in a properly autistic issue with texture or somethingI think if I ran across one of those level 2 picky eaters that has enough self-recognition to actually know what they don't like I'd probably just accept it quickly.
>>21920374ive met a picky black as fuck ghanean woman
without picky eaters food would have never evolved
>>21920336What is, being a creepy fag?
>>21920524That's an interesting point. If I had announced as a child that I had chosen to be a vegan, my parents/teachers would have gone out of their way to cater to my dietary stipulations. However, since I did not like carrots, apples, oranges and pineapple, I was to be shamed and forced to eat these things against my will. There is a double standard there for identity politics based diets.
>>21920593you know what you're right
>>21917402i hate tomatoes and lettuce sucks. A burger is never better for having lettuce, i cant eat it and tolerate it but i'd enjoy it more without it
>>21921114it's mainly for protecting the bun from the maynaise
>>21921114Lettuce provides a barrier between wet and dry ingredients. It also adds a slight crunch that most people enjoy. If you're not autistic, lettuce is a genuine improvement.
>>21921463it dulls and removes the flavor of the patty and cheese which is already beIng absorbed by the sauces. wet and dry mixing has never been a problem for me, maybe you're autistic and have a texture issue?
>>21921600In what way does lettuce "dull and remove" the flavor of anything? That's just not how food works.Also lol @ the irony of the picky eater accusing anyone else of being autistic. The basic understanding that texture is part of the eating experience is very different from having a meltdown because some crunchy leaves were added to your burger.
>>21921623if one ingredient is more pronounced than others the flavor of other ingredients is lost. its not BEIng a picky eater its actually enjoying cheeseburgers and not needing an additIon to avoid an autistic sensory meltdown.
>>21921623somehow lettuce can absorb wet sauces but cant absorb and box out a burger patty
>>21921662Lettuce is the most mild and inoffensive tasting vegetable on the planet. You can argue it doesn't even really have a flavor. How in the hell is it "more pronounced" than anything else you'd put on a burger?
>>21921673it has more volume and it has a watery to bitter taste which inherently removes flavor. im not tasting the meat or the cheese because i have all this lettuce in my fucking mouth, if anything i might stIll taste some ketchup and mayo but thats not how its supposed to be. i want to taste meat and cheese when im eating a fucking burger. all the burger joints that stayed the same since their inception stick to meat onions cheese ketchup and pickles. white castle. even mcdonalds does that formula for everything except the big mac
>>21921683Is this like the cilantro thing where some genetic misfits taste food incorrectly?From my perspective, you're having an autistic meltdown over a largely tasteless, slightly sweet, leaf. Maybe we should conduct a study on your fucked up taste buds because we've left the realm of subjective taste preferences at this point.
>>21921695its not about the taste is about the lack of taste. you dont have a rebuttal over than projction
>>21921683>has a watery to bitter taste which inherently removes flavor.>>21921699>its not about the taste is about the lack of tasteYou're contradicting yourself now. Maybe they should check your brain, too.
>>21914377No, he means retards like you.
>>21921701>inherently removes flavor.>not about the taste is about the lack of taste.Thats not contradictory
>>21914302>What does /ck/ think of picky eaters?they are based.
>>21921704Are you having a subject/predicate issue? ESL by chance?Shitposting aside, the bottom line is the vast majority of people are not having the experience that you are having. You are the outlier. But the fact that you don't like tomatoes either, which pairs great with lettuce, and the way you've been talking about this whole issue in general shows the broader problem. You don't have an appreciation for complex flavor profiles and would rather be bombarded with a particular flavor you enjoy. It's unironically an autism thing.
>>21921718yeah autism is when you dont like tomatoes. You have the same worldview as retarded tik tok foids
>>21921721>autism is when you dont like tomatoesNo but it certainly does correlate with poor reading comprehension.The point was about complex flavor profiles, not tomatoes in particular.A lot of food isn't great on its own but pairs well with other ingredients. I don't personally care for pickles. But they go well paired with fatty/greasy items like burgers or with peanut butter. I wouldn't eat a tomato, or a handful of plain lettuce for that matter, on their own. Add some salt and pepper to the tomato slice and throw it on a salad and I won't even bother with dressing. Normal people understand mixing complementary flavors, even if the ingredients themselves aren't particularly good on their own. Autists insist on uniformity of flavor and texture.
>>21914302The fundamental issue with the picky eaters isn't that they have things they cannot stomach, it's the fact that most of them had their parents give up on them early leaving them with palates of small children and zero knowledge of which normal foods they could potentially eat. Putting it simply, dealing with somebody who genuinely hates slimy foods and mushrooms is easy, but dealing with somebody who only eats tendies, nuggies and 3 approved types of pizza and refuses to try anything else is a nightmare.
>>21921695why would I want a tasteless leaf on my burger? why would I want to eat tasteless leaves period?
>>21922046There is such a thing as too richIt doesn't belong on every burger but some crisp lettuce provides a bright contrast and extra bite to a very soft and savory burger.Personally I think pickles do the job better but shit pickles ruin a burger worse than shit lettuce
>>21915262He called them white people tacos in his post, in those exact words.
I used to be a fat-fuck picky eater when I was a child til mid adolescence, but once I decided to lose weight it stopped because I had to put more variety into my dietonce in the middle of the night, while living with my grandma, i was hungry, nothing was open and i didnt know what to cook. It ate a banana, i had gag reflexes when i was eating but i was so hungry that i ignored itafter i finished it i realized i liked bananasthen when i moved by myself, i used to get invited to people's houses and i didnt want to be that person that said "i dont eat that", so i started eating everythingmost people are picky eaters because they were never forced to change their habits
>>21921695>genetic misfitsWhy do you characterize everyone with tastes other than yours as childish/mentally ill/physically inferior? Do you truly believe that your preferences are the only correct option?
>>21922132never had a "shit pickle" in my entire life
>>21914302macaroni and cheese is fucking disgusting.
>>21918195Modern industrially farmed potatoes do not vary that much. And where they do vary the taste and texture change is going to be extremely minimal, far less than the difference between floury and waxy potato varieties. Also the same ingredients go into the mass produced slop picky eaters are magically able to eat so if there truly was that level of variety in taste that only a handful of picky eaters are able to detect the same change would show up there unless every single food-producing corporation was putting huge effort into a level of uniformity relevant only to a tiny handful of supposed super-tasting picky people.
>>21914946Lmao you have my sympathies.
>>21916647Man up faggot
>>21915099>forcey feedersThis sounds like picky eater cope. Nice dubs.
>>21922343>Do you truly believe that your preferences are the only correct option?No. Work on your reading comprehension.
i was a picky eater for years but idk what broke me out of it. I think my parents just got better at cooking. We ate lot of plain white rice with peas and then some chicken with honey mustard (that was probably the closest thing to a "real" meal) or we'd have pizza or pasta. I think later we figured out roasting veggies in olive oil with s&p, garlic powder, onion powder, etc., or sauteeing stuff, and things got a lot better. but boy there were a lot of flops. there was this weird mushy bread dish i remember my mom made and boy that was a rough dinner, no one would touch it, we were all gagging. Feel bad in retrospect cuz obviously poor mom but man it was awfufl. but ig my prescription for picky eaters is a lot of the time it's just that the "food" isn't very tasty and people should learn to cook better.
