Well?

Today I went to a friends house and had lunch with their siblings and mom... They prepared some kind of salad of sorts and already had some kind of dressing on it. I, being who I am, cannot stand ANY salad dressing. It's just standard because all of those make me cringe and have all these sensory things go off saying, "JESUS CHRIST THIS IS GOING TO KILL ME!" But more so kill me in hurling... Anyway, I take the first bite with "uh-oh" mode engaged, and.. well, I cringed and made this "omg this is murder" face with a grin of sorts at how gruesome the experience was...

Anyway, I took one bite and then didn't eat anymore. They all cleaned their plates with the stuff. I feel like a dick because I didn't like it, but that's how I am... I can't help it if I really dislike salad dressings. I'll eat normal salads(excluding tomatoes because I dislike those intensely) without anything on them... Just salad dressings make me die.

I don't care what I eat (ie beef, chicken, pork, tofu, guts, intestines), but I will not waste dollars or calories on shitty food
 
Just start carrying your bag of froot loops with you when you're going to eat at someone else's house. Then you have your back-up.

I am picky with anything that is not vegetables or fruit; I always turn down food if it is meat...I always have the suspicion that it has the wrong amount of salt, bones, too much fat, etc. Mommy is a great cook :awe:
 
For the most part I don't eat cheese. I'll only eat mozzarella or provolone in small quantities on pizza or lasagna. I will not eat any other types.
 
Yea, I'm terribly picky eater.

I went to a potluck dinner a few months ago, and someone brought in this layered mexican casserole. It was the hot item at that time, people were eating it like crazy. So I take a bite of it, and I instantly gag because there's sour cream in it. Now, I don't mind sour cream at all (love it on a baked potato), it's just that it doesn't mix well with mexican food, IMO.

I felt like a huge jackass since I was the only one throwing away food because I simply couldn't stomach it. I usually avoid situations like these because I know I'm a picky eater... I guess I just let my guard down at that time.
 
I usually not very picky, but when I visiting my SIL in iceland, they had a breakfast that did not sit well with me. It was a combination of a sour milk/cream+brown sugar+muesli. All three of those things separately I like just fine, but that combo for breakfast hit my gag reflex. I did finish it though.
 
Pathetic and, frankly, insulting to your hosts.

That's how you are?? Get over yourself. It's a goddamn salad, eat it and stfu.

Goddamn babies.
 
i'm picky as hell. i've long grown out of the childish 'ewww that's gross' kind of thing and will try about anything, but there are some things i just don't like. i've gotta be fucking starved to eat a salad. and onions are so disgusting that they make me want to punch babies. ect.
 
There are many items that I don't like- that I wouldn't make myself (sour cream, cream cheese, **mayo**, liver, cottage cheese)- but there's not a single item that I wouldnt eat w/ a smile on my face if someone else made it/gave it to me if I was company. That's just damn rude.
If you have to- just swallow quickly and try not to chew much- rinse it down frequently w/ a beverage etc
 
There aren't many foods I don't enjoy or haven't learned to enjoy. Definitely not a picky eater.

You need some salad dressing. If memory serves you're skinnier than a Kenyan.

I love food, cooking, and trying new things...to the point that it'd be just about impossible for me to be friends with someone like you. It's also a deal breaker when talking about women.

So much good food out there in the world...I guess there's just more left for me.
 
I'm horribly picky...I eat no vegetables whatsoever, though I could tolerate skillet cooked peppers/onions if need be. I will try/eat most all meat though.
 
If it already had dressing on it, and you know you don't like dressing...why did you accept/take some of it? 😵 🙄

Click to expand...

To see if maybe it would be an exception to the rule. Also it's kinda rude to turn down food without trying it, I think. At least I tried to eat it, but it's not my fault I am not very receptive to all kinds of food.


Very sour tastes do not mix well with me. The dressing reminded me of an overdose on feta cheese mixed with other stuff... and then the texture really screwed with me too. Texture really matters to me. It's why I don't like tomatoes for the most part.
 
Interesting topic. I remember learning about "picky eating" back in a physiology class in college.

Kids are picky eaters because all of their senses are very strong. Their nerve endings are just developing, and the path to the brain is very short, therefore they get a very strong signal from sensations. A side effect of this is everything tastes VERY STRONG to them. This is why kids tend to like starchy and sugary foods- they're very mild tasting. As you age, the pathways to your brain increase, and you "lose signal", meaning you can't taste things as strongly.

Now, if you're a teenager or an adult and are still experiencing severe picky eating, it's a psychological problem. You've conditioned yourself to think that certain foods will give you sensations you can not handle, and therefore you are repelled by them (very similar to the way you are afraid to jump into a cold swimming pool because you know the shock of the cold is going to be a very intense sensation).
