/ck/ - Food & Cooking

>>18199462
I agree. I think being a picky eater is a fundamental flaw of character that reveals a deeper issue with given person. It usually goes together with being weak willed, spoiled, and selfish.

I think we as society need to devise a final solution to the picky eater problem.

If I don't like eating your food because it has an ingredient in it I won't eat it. Don't take offense to me not eating your food and I won't complain about having to stop by and grab something on the way home

>>18199518
That fact that you would refuse food made for you by someone just because of a single ingredient shows you are ungrateful and weak willed. Pathetic really.

Growing up with them is exhausting. My mom and I love basically every vegetable and different cuisines but my dad and little brothers only eat about 4 different veg and maybe 3 different cuisines. I grew up eating the same 10 dinners for 18 years without any flavor or variety because the other stuff is YUCKY!! I hate picky eaters with every fibre of my being. I don't adjust ingredients and I don't leave things out. If you don't like mushrooms you can't have my food. If you don't like onions you can't have my food. If you don't like peppers you can't have my food. Deal with it.

>>18199527
You are a respectable gentleman. I would eat your food even if it had black olives

>>18199527
I'm looking forward to serving you my lasagna with 1 added mystery ingredient that you're forced by principal to eat

>Nooo you have to eat food that tastes bad to you because... you just DO okay!!

>>18199530
>18 years
>I, a teenager fully capable of using kitchen equipment, did not make my own meals and preferred to whine about it instead

>>18199542
As long as it's actual food human beings eat(not africans near starvation), then I'd eat it.

I have yet to meet an ingredient that I could not eat.

>>18199556
I come from wealth so I didn't have to work as a teen but the flipside is that I didn't have money to buy my own ingredients

>>18199559
There are humans that eat it, yes. Hope you enjoy trying this new thing

>>18199543
Yes, yes you do. Wasting food is one issue with picky eaters, and any sensible person absolutely hates wasting food.

>>18199565
You strike me as a communist/socialist, is this true?

>>18199566
I'm a monarchist libertarian.

>>18199570
Not from what I'm reading

>>18199565
>How dare you avoid those 3 olives, I paid good money for those

>>18199573
That just means you don't actually understand the meaning of those words.

>>18199576
Yes, especially black olives, which are the superior olive.

>>18199462
Fuck off twat, putting your lack of taste on me makes you a fucking sucker so piss off.
I choose what I eat instead of a sucker like you that's told what to eat.
YOU WILL EAT THE BUGS BITCH

>>18199563
I come in your mom

>>18199579
A monarchist libertarian would allow someone the freedom to refuse food they were served, even if it was one of their own subjects

>>18199589
Why do you assume I would infringe on your freedom to not eat the food? That's a weird assumption. Just because I feel distain for picky eaters, and would not refrain from telling them their behavior is pathetic, does not mean I would ever try to force them to eat something they don't want.

>>18199591
>does not mean I would ever try to force them to eat something they don't want
That is good, you almost had a rebellion on your hands

>>18199591
U R STILL GONNA EAT THE BUGS BITCH
DEAL AND EAT GRASS

>>18199591
I don't have to assume anything regarding suckers such as you.
Deal with yourself instead of making others deal with you.

My mom insists on putting mushrooms and cabbage on everything then cries when I serve chops with bananas.
Fuck her.

>>18199508
So, you have no taste yet post cat pictures like a faggot?
Stupid cat poster, did you get booted from /lgbt?

>>18199618
I aint eatin no commie cabbage bullshit!
Take that commie cabbage roll and stuff it where the sun dont shine!

FUCK RUSSIA AND FUCK THE UKRAINE, WE DONT NEED THAT COMMIE SHIT HERE IN THE USA

>>18199462
If it's a relative, I'm fine with that. But, I won't compromise my own happiness. Like if they don't eat seafood, fine different menu. But if they don't eat a whole host of stuff, they get their own entree from a freezer meal. In my family, a gourmet baked mac n cheese might be turned down and some idiot child will state they only like Kraft from a box. No you don't, so here's an no choice but what I bought, you baby.
When my sister is dining with me, no bell peppers...she gets reflux from them and will be up all night. So, when I am grilling skirt steak and poblanos or bell peppers for fajitas.. she will be able to eat around them.
When I am making meatloaf, I miss the peppers, but have to leave them out of the recipe, even though I find them essential. I will instead put more paprika in the dry seasoning :D She never complains about overnight symptoms from paprika. I think there are workarounds for hiding whatever bothers people, without tricking them of course.
>>18199530
I'd just blend up those onions and peppers and add them anyway. there is powdered versions of both, as well.

kind of like covid, nobody is being critical, just accept what the government tell you to do and pay them taxes

>>18199619
Hit a nerve huh? I guess that post describes your character flaws well.

>>18199618
>chops and bananas
wtf is this?

>>18199642
I'm not the one posting cat pictures, you are.

>>18199645
Elvis snack?

>>18199647
You know, you can try to fix your character flaws by eating what you dislike and that way gaining tolerance and maybe even start to enjoy food you hated before. Most taste is acquired taste really.

Oh wait, you're just a weak-willed spoiled selfish brat, you are incapable of changing yourself like that.

>>18199654
I learned that hard way by forcing myself to not only eat brussels sprouts and broccoli but enjoy them when I make them myself with butter and lemon juice. As much as I loved her my mom didn't know how to cook for shit.

>>18199654
The difficult one is cauliflower.
YUK!

>>18199662
I hated spinach until I realized I hated it purely because the frozen spinach they had in school was as far as I can remember inedible garbage. I'm not even sure it actually was spinach...

Once I tried real fresh spinach I realized how wrong I was. Some experiences can scar you for life, but that doesn't mean you shouldn't try things you dislike from time to time.

>>18199668
I just needs butter and grated bread.

>>18199654
I'm going to throw up in your silverware drawer then

>>18199672
Forgot pic.

>>18199672
Melt some sharp provolone on those vegies and good times ensue...

>>18199676
That looks almost edible...
Almost though I suspect a garbage can would work better.

>>18199668
I like it raw and dipped like broccoli on crudite platter.
I love a broken up cauliflower roasted in the oven with a tiny bit of olive oil, til nice and crisp edged.
the roasty flavor is my my #1. But, I do like it steamed with cheese sauce or a cream of cauliflower soup.

>>18199676
I'll catch that quick and put it in its proper location

FEED ME

Are picky eaters even human?

>>18199610
No one made you respond.

>>18199462
Sorry man I cant change the fact that Coriander tastes, legitimately, like soap to me.
I'll eat everything else tho

>>18199462
>Watching 'Good Mythical Morning' where Link autistically picks olives, onions and mushrooms off of food. Like he'll eat a pig anus but his shit ain't going near an olive.

>>18199462
That's fair, but people should consider nutritional preferences and ideals too. Should I eat some grocery store dessert cookie that's basically just grain and sugar just because it is offered to me? How about a raisin bagel? What about pasta, which is almost entirely simple carbohydrates that bulk me up and throw me in a fucking glycemic coma? No, because that shit makes me feel unwell. I'm picky in that I eat what is 'healthy' for my fitness goals. I don't think we should discount people eating for the maintenance of their health as "picky eaters".
>Inb4 people say "lol, just make your own food then fag"
I do, you overweight planetary orbit-shifting moon whales. I hate you all, most of you don't even cook.

>>18200153
Anon this thread is obviously about cooking for friends/spouses and not getting some food offered at a random persons place / in the supermarket

I think it is safe to assume that if you have dietary constrictions you don't eat certain foods not because you don't LIKE eating them but because you currently can't that this doesn't count as being a picky eater.

PROTIP: I COOK FOR 2 PICKY EATERS. LOOK UP KID FRIENDLY RECIPES. THANK ME LATER.

>>18199462
I prefer cooking for someone, and if i am cooking for someone, i obviously will try to appeal to their subjective tastes.

Food is made for people, not people for food.

>>18200153
If someone has an allergy or can't eat something because of a religious restriction or diet (like vegan), that's a different situation. The same applies for legitimate autistic people who have problems with certain textures.

I'm talking about people who say stuff like: "I don't like the texture of raw tomatoes" and the like. In other words, people who have no reason not to eat something.

>>18200228
>people who have no reason not to eat something.
But they have reason, they don't like it.

>>18200235
A dietary restriction or an allergy is a "reason".
"I don't like it" is not a "reason", it's a "feeling".

Often it's an eating disorder. It really is true that if you force a child to eat things they don't want to, it can mindbreak them and they develop a disorder that can last a lifetime. Every single picky eater has a story like this. It is extremely common, and then they inevitably pass it to their kids in some way or another. It's a cycle. Quite often vegetarian or vegan can just be a euphemism for picky eater too. They just don't want to admit they have a problem.

The way to prevent pickyness is simple. Never give up, but never force. Never stop putting new foods in front of them, but never demand they eat it, and definitely never force them to eat it. And eat a wide variety of foods yourself. They learn from you directly.
Eventually, one day, the child will eat the cabbage, the beans, the carrot, whatever it was they refused for so long. It just has to be put on their plate, over and over, without giving up.

>>18200248
>Often it's an eating disorder. It really is true that if you force a child to eat things they don't want to, it can mindbreak them and they develop a disorder that can last a lifetime
Are you serious?
Is this a legitimate thing?
This could explain why I can't fucking eat fish like at ALL.

My parents forced me to eat fish but I just could never eat it, it made me puke. Nowadays I like the smell of fish and I also enjoy the taste however it still, always, makes me puke and I don't have any explanation as to why

I still try to force feed myself fish from time to time and if its freshly catched or smoked I can eat it. Anything else my body simply rejects.

>>18200248
Oh, so now picky eaters are created like faggots? With childhood trauma? Get out of here.

My father always made a point of letting me go hungry if I complained about the food he or my mother made for me and my sister. He'd just tell my mother "let him be hungry then", and sometimes I was, but then I'd eventually just go back and eat it anyway, since there was nothing else. And now as an adult I will eat pretty much anything that's actually food(no, bugs aren't food).

But you go ahead and think people get PTSD from having to eat what their parents cook for them.

>>18200248
Lol. For thousands and thousands of years human beings ate whatever was around, since if they didn't they would starve, and that was fine. But now suddenly, when we have the ability to eat whatever we want whenever we want, suddenly it's child abuse to not give children only what they like.

Fuck off.

>>18200248
I don't know, man. When I was a kid I was just taught to eat what was put at the table without complaining. Did I like liver as kid? No, but I knew I had to eat it because someone made it. I do like liver now.

>>18200248
People like this are the reason picky eaters exist. Parents who give into their children and feed them chicken tendies with fries and nothing else because otherwise they throw a fit.
This is how you create children and eventually adults that:
>cannot handle not getting what they want
>cannot travel without mcdonalds in sight
>cannot visit friends or family without making a scene
>cannot have a balanced diet because they get stuck on 2-3 meals
>cannot explore and try new things
Sad, really really sad.

>>18200266
It is. That sounds like a classic case.

>>18200268
>>18200274
That's not the same as forcing the kid to eat. I actually agree with you that you should not prepare something else if the kid is refusing food. But there is a difference between saying look, this is your food, like it or not, and saying, eat every single thing on that plate or you'll be punished.

>>18200280
Yeah, I'm sure that's true of lots of people.

>>18200268
Bruh you're saying that your parents literally did what he recommended instead of forcing you to eat something.

>>18200289
My child eats literally everything though, including:
Bone-in meats
Organ meats
Fish
All vegetables
Blue cheese

But with many things it took time. I just kept offering. And it worked. Maybe I could've just beat him instead. Not sure why that's preferable though.

>>18200292
>there is a difference between saying look, this is your food, like it or not, and saying, eat every single thing on that plate or you'll be punished
That's fair, but sometimes children are just not cooperating.

Sometimes letting a kid go hungry just means he/she'll cry his eyes out in the evening because they will be tired and hungry and won't even be able to go to sleep because they are so upset. That's not a workable situation when parents have to go to work in the morning, and the kid is reaching 150 decibels. Sometimes you either have to give in, or actually make them eat what you have. It is what it is.

>>18200130
He just like me fr fr

>>18200307
Yeah, to be honest, it can be difficult and on a few occasions I'd quickly make a sandwich or something just to get food in them. But I stuck to my guns as much as possible and it worked

>>18200307
I would have preferred it if my parents would have let me go to bed hungry instead of forcing me to keep eating fish

>>18199566
>thrift is socialism
now i've seen everything

>>18200241
Kek you're an asshole, my mom had the same attitude as you. I tried repeatedly avoiding milk as a kid and she had the attitude that for me it was just a feeling. No, I have always been lactose intolerant and she was too much of a bitch to figure it out until toddler me shit myself at school and she had to leave work to bring me pants.

>>18200280
I was taught the same and now refuse to eat what i don't like even more. I bet you think you don't like to eat dick but you should try it anyway.

>>18200248
I remember my aunt said that I wouldn't be able to get up from the table until I finished a nearly full plate of boiled brussels sprouts. Naturally, I refused, so I literally just slept at the table.
On the plus side, nobody ever tried anything like that again. On the minus side, even the smell of brussels sprouts makes me gag.

>>18200280
>>18200268
My mother tried this with me. She told me that I wasn't leaving the table until I ate what she cooked, and if I had to sleep at the table, so be it. I would go to school, come back, and go to the table.

That food became dangerous before I became hungry.

>>18200289
I'll never forget my cousin's ex husband was like this, his plate at Thanksgiving looked like it was made for a toddler; little bit of turkey, mashed potatoes (no gravy of course) and like 1 or 2 rolls. He was a gen x latchkey that grew up eating what you'd expect unsupervised kids to eat at home, chips and candy. Eating out = fast food, mom cooking at home = tendies & tots. Actual homemade food was alien to him, the kind of adult that orders off the kid's menu at restaurants

>>18199462
why are you getting so worked up over youtubers you'll never meet saying things about people you'll never meet?

why is it so obvious that the overwhelming majority of picky eaters here are american?

>>18200512
Was your father too weak to give you the beatings you needed?

>>18200759
He didn't like my aunt, she always used to steal his pocket money when they were little.
And my parents never had an issue with getting me to eat anything because my mom is an excellent cook.
If you have to beat your children to get them to eat something, you're a shit cook.

>>18200775
Nope, it's the children who are shit. You're a shit adult, too, and it started in childhood.

>>18200782
You should take cooking classes

>sry but I don't like tomatoes
I put tomatos in the meal and he doesnt notice, even loves it

>I hate shugar don't use it please
I put shugar in the tomato sauce without telling - "Anon thats the best sauce ever!"

>Sry but I hate everything with onions
I fill onion chips into the paprika chips bag - "Dude wow thats the best chips ever" - tell him there are onion chips in a paprika chips bag - he runs to the toilet and washed his mouth.

>no peanuts please
I sneak peanuts into the sauce and this dude has an allergic reaction so we have to call the ambulance

I swear I fucking hate picky eaters so much it's unreal. It's a mental illness except maybe the peanut guy but fuck him too, he survived

>>18199559
>I have yet to meet an ingredient that I could not eat.
ENTER

>>18200798
This stuff is boring. The taste is honestly mild on its own, so I get why you're supposed to add mustard and soy sauce.

>>18200248
True

>>18200512
The solution to this is to cook together with the child and treat him like a respectable person having his own valid opinions and feeling

>>18199462
I don't like it? I'm not gonna eat it, simple as.
You can seethe as much as you want, i still won't eat it.

>>18200248
>Quite often vegetarian or vegan can just be a euphemism for picky eater too
That's me, I just don't like the taste or texture of meat, not sure if autism or something from my parents

>>18200425
forcing thrift unto others is socialism, yes

>>18199462
>you HAVE to eat the bugs

>>18199559
>I have yet to meet an ingredient that I could not eat.
You met ingredients you can't eat every day - people.

my mum refuses to eat wraps of all fucking things
she likes cooking like 3 different things, hates spices other than salt and pepper, and hates vegetables that aren't steamed (or roasted in the case of spuds and pumpkin)
all she does for my nephews when they come over are pizza and nuggets. between her and my brother I know they're gonna have just as shit palettes when they grow up

>>18199508
When eating something causes me to want to vomit of course I won't fucking eat it.
I've been poor all my life and now I can finally choose not to eat plain boiled macaroni for dinner.

>>18200784
people with food allergies deserve to die so it's all good

Based and correct.

>>18199462
>I'm tired of watching videos where people say stuff such as "I'm not gonna put X in here because my [picky eater relative] doesn't eat it."
Are there really that many videos where this happens? I’ve seen (and done) this irl but I don’t think I’ve ever seen a video of it.

>>18200782
You are a retarded nigger if you think beating a child will get them to act better. My aunt did that to her kid and only made him act out more and now he's a drug addicted waste. You just want kids to grow up like you did so they can turn into a sad pathetic waste.

>>18199462
Some people will be picky just for the sake of it. I knew someone who complained about eating chicken because it tasted too "chicken-y"

I hate tomatoes

>>18203824
Neck yourself. Please.

>>18199462
>YOU HAVE TO EAT SHIT YOU DONT LIKE BECAUSE.... YOU JUST HAVE TO OK??

>>18199668
It's better than broccoli

>>18199462
Picky eaters are on a spectrum
Some people only eat fast food and cannot handle anything not drenched in fat, other people don't like specific ingredients
I won't eat raw veggis, no useful nutritional value and they don't fill me up, if you serve me a salad I will decline simple as

>>18199543
>>18203840
How do you know it tastes bad if you never try it? You just think it sounds bad. I regularly hear "ew I don't like x" then go ahead and make x anyway and every time it turns out that "oh this is really good."

>>18203824
based. fuck tomatoes.

>>18199462

I can't think of a single food that I don't like other than sweet pickles. Pickles should never be sweet. I know someone who won't eat round chicken nuggets from McDonalds, they will only eat the weird shaped ones. They will literally throw the round ones away.

>>18199462
I used to be an extremely picky eater. I only changed after some magical number of being proven wrong was reached. I still remember as a young kid I was on a field trip to the college football hall of fame and we had meal vouchers for the bk in there. Prior to this point if at a fast food joint I would only eat chicken nuggets but these vouchers were only good for hamburgers or cheeseburgers. Basically I was stuck either eating something I didn't want or not eating at all. I chose a cheeseburger and broke myself of that one. Now I'm a very adventurous eater, not many things I don't eat except for things I know from experience I don't enjoy. Black olives, hummus, eggplant, etc.

>>18199462
>I'm tired of watching videos where people say stuff such as
Then don't watch them. Problem solved.

I wont eat anything with
>ketchup
>mustard
>mayonnaise
>mushrooms
>olives
>sour cream
>ranch dip
How bad am i?

>have six year old girl
>decide she doesnt want to eat vegetables
>tell her they're full of vitamins and minerals that make her bones strong
>she doesnt believe me
>go to /fit/
>collect snap city WEBMs
>sit them down and show them to her
>tell her those guys didnt eat their vegetables
>she now asks for double portions of every veggie she hates

>>18204946
Very. How the fuck did you end up hating those? Those are the most common and inoffensive out of the whole thread.
>Make your own
>Try Dijon or Honey Mustard instead of the normal yellow
>Make your own
>Make mushroom cream, or order a pizza with mushrooms and pepperoni
>Eat a tiny piece at a time, i didn't like them but eventually came to accept them, they aren't that bad in pizzas too
>Use corn chips, put a little on it and add some salt on top, that should make you at least consider using it on more dishes
>Kinda don't like it too but the chip flavor is nice so idk what to tell you for that one
Give it a shot anon.

>>18204202
Because you HAVE to insist on 'no you just never had GOOD x!'
Then of course it tastes just like all other instances of x, but now I can't say I don't like it because it is a specific personal insult on your and whatever relative you got the recipe from's honor instead of just a general statement about a class of food, so I am forced to just smile and nod

>>18205441
I don't doubt that happens to you, but I'm talking about people going to town on a meal, asking for the recipe or requesting it again. My experience of picky eaters is 95% they don't like the sound of something and 5% they've actually tried it.

>>18204960
Unironically this.

I had a friend stay with me for a week. We were going to pick fruit for a while.
>Cooking chilli con carne for nachos
>Mention ingredients as I add them
>Say beans
>He says he doesn't like beans
>Tell him that's too bad (the beans were already in there, I would have left them out to cater to his bitch ass)
>He goes all quiet and starts sulking
>This annoys me
>Hand him a loaf of bread and jokingly tell him "here's your dinner"
>He literally gets in his car and leaves for 2 hours
>Comes back and walks straight past me and goes to bed
>Next morning up at 5am to go meet the guy and follow him to the orchard
>20+ minute drive to meeting point
>Hasn't said a word
>Talk to him like nothing happened
>Get to meeting and nip across the road to buy us a drink
>Dead silent
>there's a mix up with the guy and we never meet him
>Friend says we missed him and we should head back
>Dude sulked for 13 hours because of beans
>Mfw

>>18200798
Is it really that bad though?

>>18199462
Stop whinging about videos you seek out you piece of shit

>>18206785
Holy shit what a fucking sperg. Hahahahahahaa.

Truly, the modern generations are children in adult bodies. Absolutely pathetic.

>>18199462
been through this a fair bit and basically i just ask them offhand what their preferences are and if they dont eat meat they aint getting invited. same if you don't drink. you're free to do whatever you want and so am and i have no time for faggots so go find your own tribe and hang out with them.

>>18206805
We're in our 30's now. I think we were about 19 at the time. He was the sort of person that would eat fast food for every meal and always order the exact same thing.

>>18206813
People used to start families at 19, or die in wars at 19. But some of the motherfuckers floating around today can't handle eating beans and sulk for a day about it. Western civilization is doomed, lol.

>>18204960
Might as well feed this twinkies at that point lmao

>>18206836
25 year old males returned from war to impregnate 16 year old women. 19 year old unmarried women were considered spinsters and became nuns or maids.

>>18206890
Just as God intended...

Maybe youre just a pants shitting retard

>>18206785
>>18206813
Is shit like this unironically a sign of autism?

>>18207106
Yes because the retard made up 80% of that context and still holds a grudge

>>18199462
OP will eat ze bugs because he's not a picky eater.

>>18199542
Your response is literally to just start sabotaging food for revenge, is that it?

At this point I’m just about fucking done with pasta in general based on how it’s 95% of America prefers it with every meal

>>18207363
>sabotage
When I add an ingredient people like but you may not, it's suddenly sabotage. Stick to your principals

>>18206785
What an absolute bitch. Are you still friends with this fuckin weiner?

>>18207396
You say ‘mystery ingredient’ like you’re going to pick something nasty out of spite, just because you’re a bitch about things like cilantro and blue cheese

>>18207401
>if you don't like it tough luck
>if I don't like it it's nasty sabotage
mhm

>>18207403
You don’t have recipes though. If you liked something a bit odd like chicken and mint and you served it to me because it’s your recipe and you liked it, I’d eat it. Because like everyone you’re arguing against, you’d be be choosing it because it actually tastes good. When you say ‘mystery ingredient’ and don’t even have a fucking dish in mind, it’s obvious you’re trying to equate olives in a lasangna or something to the nastiest shit you can think of. What is an ingredient you genuinely like with something that you think I wouldn’t eat? I can almost guarantee I’d be fine eating it if it was an actual dish you liked

>>18207416
>nastiest shit you can think of
That's subjective though, which is my whole point. As long as its food somewhere to someone, there's no problem sticking it in a lasagna and forcing you to eat it. Because as the OP is all about, this isn't a matter of maximizing enjoyment of food, it's about coercing others to ingest what I labored for

>>18207439
You’re all thought exercise no reality. This all has to be some theory to you, because you’re not much of an eater and you do incorrectly think perfectly normal or slightly exotic ingredients are unacceptable. You’re ‘trying to explain it’ by saying ‘well to teach you how much I hate something like banana pudding, I would make you something disgusting that I couldn’t even name’, like your response to ‘you should try and learn to enjoy food people make when they share it with you’, is ‘I’m going to make you food I would never even eat myself because I made it up to be disgusting, to show you what you’re doing to me’. You’re not a cook, you don’t have good taste, you literally think certain regular ingredients are poison in your mouth and unacceptable, all you’re doing is putting actual shit in a lasagna to demonstrate how much you don’t like olives. All you’re doing is being childish and daydreaming about wasting food to show us what it feels like to have so little taste or flexibility that the thought of a coconut is the same as eating shit

I had a friend who was so picky it bordered on an eating disorder because he would only eat chicken fingers, corn, and ice cream for most his life.
He ended up trying out hello fresh and some of those food services and it really broadened his horizons and introduced him to new food.
if you're picky, it doesn't last forever.

>>18200153
you're fine bro, I remember when an old dietician i had said I should make muffins to snack on when the idea of chowing down on a muffin for a snack is dreadful.
the bitch had the audacity to tell me i was picky.

>>18207464
If you don't want to stick to your principals that's fine

>>18200784
>puts sugar in his tomato sauce
not only are you probably gay, you're also a faggot

>>18206785
he must've really been looking forward to those nachos
anyway putting beans in chili con carne is wack

>>18199619
go back

>girl im seeing is impressed that I can cook
>asks if i can make fried rice
>plan out the dinner, buy the ingredients i need and bring them to her place to cook
>as im slicing the mushrooms she mentions she doesnt like them
>'That's okay, you'll still love this'
>mfw she doesn't even taste a bite

>>18207494
My principals? What is this ingredient you’re trying to pull out of your ass to say I would be too disgusted to eat, and what ingredient are you disgusted by that’s supposed to be ‘the same’? You relativize all this shit because the actual fact of it is embarrassing for you. You have to lie to yourself that you being physically incapable of handling a raisin in your salad, is the same as someone not wanting to eat an owl pellet. And your food vocabulary is such garbage you can’t even name one food for your example, because you’re so fuckin dull in terms of food that you don’t even realize most people here would try just about any authentic recipe. You can’t even fucking name a real food ingredient that someone who isn’t picky would say no to, because you’re out there trying to teach people what it feels like to think the bbq sauce touching the pasta is the same as eating a plate of shit

>>18207521
I like how upset you're getting when faced with the realities of living by your own principals.
>if I cook for you you better eat what I make
>hmm, what's in this dish? No I think I'll pass
Maybe the correct answer here is not being a cunt when it comes to food, and not coercing people to ingest something they don't enjoy

>>18207517
>gf moves in
>she’s at work and brings up she wants fried rice for dinner
>make the rice, cut vegetables and chicken, fry in wok
>she comes home amazed I actually made fried rice and that you would cook it instead of using a frozen bag
Same thing happened when I cooked the first chicken breast for her, she literally did not know that chicken wasn’t supposed to be dry and fucked up. She thought I was like a master chef

>>18207526
I’m talking about cooking for you a real dish, you’re inventing some dish so universally bad that you can’t even think of it, just to say any prissy complaint you have must be as bad as, what, a shit sandwich? You are more revolted by basic ingredients than a sensible person. You don’t understand this, because you really are a picky bastard, but most people really don’t have any ingredients they say ‘ugh that’s awful I will never eat anything with this in it ever, imagine if I served YOU something inedible!’. Most people don’t find any of this stuff inedible! Only you rely on the idea of ‘inedible mystery dish’ to explain why you don’t like whatever the fuck you wont even say,
What even do you not like? What deeply offensive ingredient are you ever served, that sends you daydreaming about ‘if somebody else got some mystery dish they also wouldn’t eat’, as if your distrust of regular food is your cool diverse shine and not a childish failure to adapt to an adult diet!
So I ask you, what is an ingredient you hate hate hate so much, and what ‘mystery ingredient’ is supposed to be so bad that it teaches us what it’s like when you don’t get what you want? Because I swear to God you’re just trying to say something like grits is as bad as a literal turd to you, as if you’re not just saying over and over you have tons of foods you find to be as inedible as garbage, because you’re so picky you think good food is waste

>>18207571
Do you really get this offended when someone refuses to eat your food? I can completely see you going off like this in person

>>18207580
>Do you really get this offended when someone refuses to eat your food?
How is he supposed to know? He'd need someone to cook food for in the first place.

>>18199462
My dad doesn't eat chicken or pasta in any form. Fish has to be in fish fingers form. Most of the time when my mom made food she had to cook hotdogs for him. He only ate them, potatoes and bread while rest of the family ate something actually good.

>>18199530
Would be a great post if mushrooms didn't fucking suck half the time

>>18207530
yeah at the time we were 18 and fresh in university, it was surprising how even the most basic of cooking skills could impress a girl

>>18207580
I’m offended at your logic, really. You say ‘imagine if I served you some mystery dish with some mystery ingredient you didn’t like’, 1. I don’t fully dislike any ingredient, which you wouldn’t understand, and 2. I wouldn’t snub my nose at it and say ‘well it’s a fact of life everybody hates some dish as much as I hate this one’, fucking no it’s not. I would have the dish thinking maybe it was better than I assumed and I could enjoy an alternative or new flavor. And beyond that 3. There are common ingredients and then more exotic and challenging ones, if you’re talking about not liking green onions, which is a common ingredient, absolutely no way is that the same as not liking some Icelandic pickled shark.
So what is it even you don’t like? If you’re talking about a few rare things then that’s fine, but I have no reason to believe you’re not talking about soy sauce or some normal shit. Where are your tastes at?

>>18207602
>I’m offended at your logic, really
I'm offended at your hypocrisy, at least stand by your principals if you're going to supposedly uphold them this strongly.

>>18207606
My principle being some quip you made up about me? That principal is ‘I must not like some food, so it’s the same as any time someone won’t eat applesauce with pork!’ I’m telling you no ingredient offends me that much and there’s a baseline of common ingredients everyone should be able to eat barring some food allergy. I do not have a principle where you turn away food without trying it, as if universally hating any food is just a fact of everyone’s life.

>>18207585
I cook for my wife every day and her palate is constantly expanding because I introduce new ingredients she thought she didn’t like and she tries them in good faith and realizes they’re good, often becoming her new favorite foods

>>18207606
>you're picky if you don't try standard ingredients
>oh so you'll eat my mystery ingredient? :^)
>what is it?
>oh you don't want to stick to your principles? :^)
Oh fuck off. "You should try normal food" does not equal "you must eat literally anything". The sad thing is you actually think you're being clever.

>>18207649
> "you must eat literally anything"
I've never said that, I always mentioned it was a food somewhere to someone

>>18207663
But it’s not, that’s what we’re saying. Of all the common foods, most people eat all of them. You’re a picky eater so you don’t understand that.

>>18207680
>common foods
well now who's being picky?

>>18207685
Cute song and dance but I would probably eat it anyways. So what even is it that you won’t eat? Instead of going into this theory space why don’t you just name what food you think is so disgusting. So you don’t have to relativize all food into some dice roll crapshoot I mean

>>18207697
>but I would probably eat it anyways
No, you would it eat

>>18207706
Well what is it, and what is a food you hate so much you need to search for the most offensive dish of all time, to say it’s the exact same? What oh so awful ingredient is so bad that you have to invoke some rotten fish carcass or manure mixed in dirt to explain it?

>>18207714
green peppers

>>18207716
I love green peppers, stir fried in soy or just with hummus raw. That’s not an impressive dish not to like, though I assume you haven’t had it prepared well or haven’t tried it in good faith. When was the last time you tried, as a kid? Kids are surprised and don’t expect what they take as ‘bitterness’ but bell peppers are very sweet too. My gf used to never have them but I started adding them to stir fries and dishes and now she makes bell pepper and scrambled eggs for herself for breakfast when I’m not even home

>>18207724
Get them away from me

>>18207729
Just don’t be surprised when people call you a picky bastard or think you’re extremely childish in thinking it’s a rule of nature everybody is so scared of certain foods they don’t want to be near them

>>18207739
Just don't be surprised if people don't always want to eat what you cooked for them, and think back to the fit you just threw when someone proposed cooking a food with ingredients you don't like

>>18204946
most of those are condiments, so not so bad

>>18206785
What a fucking dweeb. I'd have never stopped calling him beanboy after that.

What even counts as a picky eater?
I have that genetic thing to dislike coriander. It tastes like soap so naturally I avoid that specific ingredient at all costs.

Yes I will even go so far as to just stay hungry and eat something else later on.
You try to eat soap

>>18207742
I don’t throw fits in real life about this and have never had someone refuse my food, I make good dishes with sometimes unexpected ingredients that are good for the dish. You’re welcome to pick around the bell peppers but if you came in and refused to eat I would quietly to myself correctly identify you as a picky eater and maybe laugh to myself at the way you’re an adult needing handling like a baby.

>>18207768
Soap has a nice fresh flavor, and it's not like anybody eats pure coriander with no combination of other flavors.

>>18207768
I don’t believe you and your ilk. Soap tastes bad because it’s killing your mouth chemistry, confusing coriander as doing the same is just an illusion

>>18207773
That's fine, you are somehow incapable of thinking people just don't like something and that to not eat your food is a personal insult. I am correctly identifying you as incapable of free thought. Was one of your parents like you?

>>18207775
sure, it's like eating the flavors of the food + soap

>>18207787
Lot of information you’re glazing over with the word ‘just’ for ‘just not liking something’. Just have green peppers in good faith and have the sense to realize the taste isn’t some mistake. I also guarantee I could make you a green pepper dish you would enjoy

>>18207791
You clearly take someone not eating your food as a personal insult

YOU VILL EAT ZE BUGS
YOU VILL NOT BE A PICKY EATER

>>18207794
No, nobody in my memory has ever refused my food. I’m not insulted if someone doesn’t eat green pepper, I just see it as an immature tic of yours. When I find out someone doesn’t usually like something I’m fine to prepare food without it, but I see it as usually a childish or neurotic exception, like someone who’s scared to drive on the highway or doesn’t know how to use a stamp. Im happy to cater to you but why do you guys think you need such care and coddling at such a late age? How quickly dinner with the guys can turn into dealing with some kid who doesn’t like his sandwich cut diagonally. Like we were all boys a second ago and all of a sudden you want some lactaid because you never learned how to chew right

>>18207810
>I’m not insulted if someone doesn’t eat green pepper, I just see it as an immature tic of yours
Sounds like you're insulted

>>18207775
Okay please have some soap shavings with your food and tell me how you like it

>>18207776
No, soap tastes bad because it tastes like soap

>>18207815
I suppose dealing with adult childishness is insulting in the sense that they’re shirking their responsibility to be an adult like everyone else. But really the feeling is more like ‘oh wow you’re 28 and still haven’t gotten over your little food anxieties huh’, not so much ‘how dare this fucker’. Honestly I am pretty accommodating though I’ve just seen too many people love food they’ve claimed to hate that I understand a lot of pickiness as actual delusion

>>18207823
I see your inability to grasp with people's individual tastes as more childish

>>18207821
I've gotten soap in my mouth while showering before. I do like it. But I'm not going to eat it because it's not edible.

>>18207828
I see your belief that ‘taste’ is some unique personal constant that’s tied to your existential being, as childish. You can try more and develop taste for things and do away with whatever petty reason you think not liking green peppers is your personal law. I’ve seen people love food they used to hate, and I’ve seen people avoid eating foods they would have loved for years because of the selfish idea their minds can’t change or that they’re done as a person, just because they turned 24 while remembering they didn’t like an olive when they were 9.

>>18207851
k

>>18207870
Hey man peace be upon you but one day you’ve got to stop telling yourself the waterslide is too scary for you. One day you had to go from being scared to drive to loving being able to drive anywhere, how long are you going to tell yourself green peppers are a no-no food, and at what age did you make up that rule anyways?

>>18207882
>people can't not like a food
hey man it's cool that you think that

>>18207886
You can not like a food, it’s just caused by a limited upbringing and an unwillingness to expand, not an act of taste or character

>>18207902
Hey man you're free to think that way as well. Like I said this is probably just something you learned from you parents

>>18199462
agreed, when i was young we didn't have much money and my father taught me to never waste anything, i learned to like everything

picky eaters should be force fed

>>18200115
I completely respect coriander dislikers, it is one of the very few picky eater things I'll accept

>>18207905
And I’m sure your parents taught you it’s okay to find a basic vegetable icky your entire life. It’s fine, it’s just a limit of yours. I’m sure you’ll never discover dozens of your favorite dishes even if they’re placed in front of you because ‘get that away from me’ or whatever

>>18199462
I went to fucking OUTBACK with a friend and I said we should get the blooming onion and he started bitching like a little faggot saying onions are disgusting
I genuinely think his mother must have shoved onions up his ass as a punishment when he was a kid because who the fuck doesn't like onions? especially the bloomin kind

>>18199462
>>18199508
I have a very strong sense of taste and if I taste something I dislike my body literally rejects it by activating my gag reflex and if I fight it I literally puke. How is that a flaw of character? It's literally just a biomechanical response I can't control. It seems much more rude to gag and/or puke involuntarily at the dinner table than to simply politely turn down something I know will cause that reaction in me.

If I have guests over and make food I'll make sure to accommodate their tastes as well, and won't be offended if there's an item they choose not to eat. Not everyone likes the same things and I was raised with the idea guests should always be accommodated to the best of the host's ability, not the other way around. If you're my guest, it's my job to make you feel comfortable not to impose ridiculous arbitrary expectations on you.

Also no my parents didn’t force me to eat all that much, maybe a little ‘clear your plate’ here and there. Pickiness is understandable in a child it’s just if you carry it into adulthood you’re generally wrong and clueless

>>18205545
>I'm talking about people going to town on a meal, asking for the recipe or requesting it again
I've done exactly this with food I don't like to appease a cranky host like you who can't accept the existence of personal preferences.

>>18208002
If it’s a genuine allergy or medical thing that’s fine, hell even if it’s just the way you say it is that makes sense too, but depending on how many foods you’re talking about it may be an eating disorder

There are picky eaters but also bad chefs, picky eaters should not hide behind bad chefs to justify pickiness

>>18208014
The problem is that people take things way too personally and can't understand. It's gotten to the point where I won't go to people's homes if I suspect they'll make me dinner or something, it's just way too difficult to get people to understand that when I say I don't like something it means I've tried it before (privately) and had a violent reaction to it, sometimes multiple times depending on the food. Most people who say they "don't like" something just seem to mean they don't PREFER it but they can eat it and even enjoy it perfectly fine, so that poisons the well for when I say I don't like something because people can't comprehend the severity of what I mean by that.

>>18208036
I mean it’s tough and I’m sure you’re not in control but that does kind of sound like an eating disorder. I’m sure you’ve talked with a doctor or dietician though. You probably do okay by just saying you have serious dietary restrictions

>>18199508
There is nothing at all wrong with having preferences and dislikes, I even try things I know I dislike every now and then to confirm that I still dislike them, and you know what I now like grape juice, coffee, and sauerkraut. That being said if I'm just wanting to enjoy a meal instead of testing if I still dislike a food I would prefer not to be served kielbasa.

As for catering meals to others' tastes it really depends on who, why, and how.
>My husband doesn't like onion as much as me so I'll add half as much
>My kids all love their carrots so I add some carrots even though the recipe doesn't call for it
>Making dinner for my date who dislikes spicy things so I'll cut out or substitute spicy ingredients
Are all fine

>I'm making the stuffing for thanksgiving but three cousins don't like garlic so I'm gonna completely cut it out
Is retarded. If they don't like your stuffing they can bring/make their own or just not eat it, you're making the meal worse for everyone else to satisfy a few people capable of making it themselves.

If the majority like it a way, someone you specifically want to please likes it a way, or someone generally important to you likes it a way, fine modify the recipe, but don't cut out major ingredients because a small number of eaters who aren't specifically close to you dislike it.

>>18208049
Yeah something like this

>>18208014
>>18208036
Oh, and when I like something I also SUPER like it. There's just very little middle ground for me, in the majority of cases I either LOVE the taste or it causes me to uncontrollably gag. I often wonder if most people just don't taste things as strongly as I do. I'm not saying I'm a supertaster who can pick out any little flavor, but when I taste something it hits me very strongly in either direction, and most people seem to just taste things more mildly than I do.

>>18208056
Just start smoking

>>18208048
>You probably do okay by just saying you have serious dietary restrictions
You'd think that, but I've seen people pressure diabetics into eating sugary desserts ("Just one bite!") and get offended if they refuse. Not even an exaggeration, it's happened in front of me. People take food so personally and are often retarded about empathizing with others when it comes to food. I've just learned to avoid food situations where I can't control what I'm served.

>>18208002
I have that too but I don't accommodate tastes, I'll still try my nemesis on a regular basis and in different preparations. So should my guests as well as their children.

>>18208014
You wouldn't believe how many women we get in the restaurant who declare on the spot that they're gluten intolerant and demand special treatment. Which is impossible, you need an entire production chain (pots, pans, utensils, oven, everything) that is COMPLETELY separated from the regular production chain. Like, you can't even use an oven, knife or pan that's ever seen a piece of gluten, ever. ANYONE with an actual gluten problem knows this.

We just reheat in the good old microwave and get thank you's on tripadvisor for being considerate.

>>18208068
Damn, fuck that. I literally think being a picky eater is an eating disorder but that shut is retarded. Also fat people cannot help but demand you overeat, they’re all feeders and literally count your bites waiting while trying to get you to eat more so they can pretend the amount of bites they’ve had is average

>>18208072
I bet they think the microwave sogginess is gluten free texture

>>18208072
>I'll still try my nemesis on a regular basis and in different preparations.
I do, too. Privately. In an environment where I'm not gagging in front of someone who made food for me and who won't understand. Most people who see it happen think I'm doing it on purpose or something and get offended that I'm being insulting. So no, I won't try new foods in front of people unless I can be 95% certain I'll like it anyway and I won't eat something I know I don't like. Tasting food in front of people is social suicide for me.

>>18208103
Seriously have you talked to a dietician about this?

>>18208005
I’m trying to rectify that behavior as an adult. Much the same way childhood obesity turns into adulthood obesity, my palette is slowly being restored

ITT: obese slob cope

"Picky" eaters are those who know what is good and what isn't. If you don't care what you're eating, then that's on you. Normal people with dignity actually avoid eating the first thing that we see.

Think about the top chefs - they are all fit and healthy. Because they are selective with what they eat. Whereas you are like cattle, eating whatever the master puts in your trough. Honestly disgusting.

>>18207768
I feel like if you tick off more than say five things on this list you're entering picky eater territory. Obviously excluding things you're literally allergic to.

Now this doesn’t apply to all of you, but a lot of picky eaters and even normal eaters have spoiled and defensive brains. They were surprised by the taste of a pickle once, then for the rest of their life, any time they taste something like a pickle in anything, the thought isn’t ‘oh how does this taste’ or ‘hey that’s a different flavor’, it’s ‘what the fuck somebody poisoned my food, this isn’t my food, this is the taste of food that’s not mine, what the fuck this is all wrong wrong wrong.’ Why don’t, instead, they realize that flavor isn’t a fucking mistake? A pickle being vinegary and crisp like that, that’s how it’s supposed to taste. It’s not poison, it’s not a fuck up, it’s not that the flavor is broken and your food is all wrong, the reality is the pickle is supposed to be there and the flavor of a pickle isn’t actually a red flag like you think. My brother, he goes 22 years afraid to eat eggs, like he didn’t even like thinking about that they were in baked goods. Said ‘oh they’re hot and stinky and gooey and every time I try one it makes me gag’. Eventually, someone was like ‘you know they’re supposed to be like that right? It’s a warm protein, they’re totally edible, it’s not wrong that they taste like that’. Then he tries an egg and lo and behold, they taste the exact same as before but he likes them suddenly. Because before, he had neurotically thought that him tasting an egg meant someone had fucked up his food. Same thing with vegetable soup, which he gave up a decade long hate of until a girl made him some and he didn’t think someone was attacking him if he tasted it. Some people don’t even get to evaluating if the food is good or not, they simply have a switch that tells them spiciness means someone bungled their dish, and they get mad and confused without even thinking that’s how the dish is meant to be. A lot of it is in the mind

>>18208132
We’re not talking about people who have access to enough fine dining that they don’t eat fast food, we’re talking about people who won’t eat bell peppers and think all fish is too stinky

>>18208002
What foods give you that reflex?

>>18208009
I'm sure. I doubt I was pressuring anyone much over the dish I dumped on the potluck table before fucking off to drink beer in the garden.

>>18208170
What are we talking about, people asking for recipes because they’re appeasing you for food you made they do t like?

>>18208171
Yeah I'm basically a dictator, I tell everyone around me what they have to eat, it's great.

>>18208109
I'm not sure what they could do to help. My diet is plenty healthy and not so limited as to be a problem other than socially, I'm not living on processed foods or anything.

>>18208167
The main culprits are vegetables and certain herbs, but gamey meat gets me, too. The problem is a lot of dishes people make don't tend to keep things separate. Usually just removing the ingredient isn't enough because whatever that taste is that I have a bad reaction to has permeated the dish at that point.

>>18208132
Way to completely miss the point of the thread. Try reading a bit next time and you won't look like a dumbass mongoloid

>>18208194
They could diagnose if there’s an actual issue and provide treatment or at least pin down what your body does and doesn’t reject at the chemical level

>>18199462
There's only two things I WILL NOT eat. That is Amish potato salad and coleslaw. I will eat anything else? Does this make me a picky eater?

>>18208203
No not really

>>18208194
>The main culprits are vegetables and certain herbs, but gamey meat gets me, too.

Anon, i hate to tell you this, but what you described sounds more like being a bitch

>>18208203
I think being picky means that you dislike more things than you like

Some people don’t even consider taste and just get instantly mad thinking they weren’t served correctly. Some people are picky eaters just because they think if they taste something they didn’t expect, then their ‘chef’ has failed them. They have customer service issues they think is taste

>>18208206
>>18208213
I didn't think so, I thought I was a pretty adventurous eater. My wife tried to claim I was a picky eater because of the potato salad. Bitch I grew up in a Pennsylvania Dutch area, I've been eating the shit since I was a toddler. I don't like potato salad. No, your mom doesn't make the best potato salad that I will totally love and change my mind. I'll eat anything else, fuckign groundhog tacos with raw onion and brussle sprouts, idgaf.

Why do you care so much about forcing others to do what you want them to? Just eat the rest yourself later if "muh labor, muh waste" is that big of a deal to you. If someone doesn't want to eat something it really isn't any of your business whether they do or not lol. Grown adults seething about someone making their own decisions

Celery is trash no I won’t apologize

>>18208203
Just retarded.

>>18208220
You’re fine not to like some things, but only eating a few food is as childish as being afraid to drive, dietary restrictions notwithstanding

was a picky eater as a kid and was also the most stubborn kid imaginable. my grandma would tell my mom to force me to eat my vegetables before the rest of my dinnner but my mom would always refuse saying that if she took that approach i simply wouldn't eat, and i think she was right. now my picky eating habits have gone away, i think it naturally faded away as i became an adult and an open minded human being. but i am really fat now.

>>18208296
I don't blame kids too much for being picky eaters but they sure are the biggest pain in the ass to deal with

>>18208303
I can imagine the guy from this thread yelling at a kid for not liking the perfectly prepared meal he slaved over

>>18208153
For some reason, fish and oysters give me nausea. Otherwise, I'd eat anything on that list. Can't say I LOVE them all (not a huge fan of beets or cottage cheese), but I won't refuse when offered.

>>18208352
I’m that guy you idiot, I never said anything about yelling at anyone I’m just talking in a thread

>>18208352
"The" guy? Everybody hates picky eaters. It's not one guy.

I was a picky eater as a kid.
Then I realised that I don't hate certain foods, I hate certain dishes.
Stewed cabbage? I literally gag. Fresh or sauerkraut? I can eat them as a snack.
Boiled onions and carrots in soups? Awful. Roasted? Delicious.

I will still refuse a lot of stuff (like zuzzini, they are always too oily), but maybe some day I'll find dishes where they are not sloppa-tier.

You can be a picky eater all you want but don’t argue your ignorance as if it’s a fact of life

>>18208153
Well in that case zero points because i cant find cilantro on that list
Its legitimately the only thing i try to not eat at all

Also what picky eater won't eat nutella spread, its basically candy. Seems like an odd thing to put on that list

>>18199462
Imagine giving a single fuck about what other people eat or don't eat. Let me guess if someone eats a well done steak near you you fly into a rage and berate them publicly? What if there's ketchup on it, do you gun them down with a machinegun? Just eat your food and shut the fuck up, isn't that what you're whining about in the first place?

>>18208653
I don't care if someone has preferences or doesn't like something. But if you only eat like chicken nuggets and fries then you have mental problems and I'm not sure if I can trust you.

>>18208671
Something has to be wrong with people who legitimately only eat things like chicken nuggets and fries.
Won't your body start craving vegetables when you go low on some vitamins etc.? I mean I sometimes crave veggies and fruits and I just assume its because of that.

>>18208697
I mostly eat a meat based diet but I have to have some kind of vegetable too. They just complement eachother.

>Won't your body start craving vegetables when you go low on some vitamins etc.?
Nope. Most processed foods like sandwich bread are enriched with vitamins and minerals. Also a lot of people just live with certain undiagnosed deficiencies.

>>18208769
Holy fucking based.

>>18208769
Fucking kek I thought that one guy who was so buttblasted by this thread he spent the whole day trolling it was funny, but this is special.

>>18208153
What kind of random list is this?

>>18208153
5-7 depending on how much allowance you give on versions of stuff, but 7 is a good answer for "I'm at your house and you selected the ingredients like an npc"
the list is
mayonnaise
nutella(basically mayonnaise)
ranch dressing (basically mayonnaise)
broccoli (might eat it)
tofu
raisins (crazins are okay)
beans (hard no unless you sprouted them before cooking)

>>18208924
>nutella(basically mayonnaise)

>>18208938
>nut spread
>first two ingredients are an oil and a sugar that are both not found in said nut
>it's liquid at room temperature
cope. it's fucking miracle whip with some chocolate and hazelnut sprinkled in. I'm not putting that shit in my mouth unless it's home made

>>18208946
You know what? You make a compelling argument.

>>18207401
? Are you eating it or not anon? Don't be picky

>>18207416
Shut up you fucking child, you've been adequately proven wrong so stop posting cringe.

Holy fuck what a bunch of pathetic fuckng brainlet replies. Actually embarrassing that this faggot is trying so hard to not be wrong rTher than just admitting "ya, no, there's levels of pickiness" or "yeah it's culturally subjective."

I unironically love to see these people pumping my gas

>>18207397
Nah, he ghosted me for 3 years.

I get everyone likes different things and I don't at all mind when someone won't eat something I've made without picking stuff out of it. Maybe I'm just used to it because my mom has always picked onions out of her food.
But I know one guy who hears the word "salad" and starts acting disgusted.
I feel there's a difference between knowing what you like and being picky.
Picky is not even trying new things because they're not in your comfort zone.

>>18208132
actual retard

>>18208132
Grats you somehow managed to land the dumbest post ITT

>>18208132
There's a difference between preferences for quality and "I don't like onions no matter how they are prepared"

>>18208194
>vegetables
fatty

>dietary restrictions notwithstanding
Yes so everyone in this thread is a retarded bitch because that's when you have to really be a picky eater and give up goyslop garbage

>>18207526
You keep bringing up his principles but its obviously based on reason. Quit being a retard

>>18208194

If it's cooked right, sure.

The look and smell makes me sick.

Dad was a terrible cook, woulda made a better cobbler.
I've had better chops since then, but still iffy at times.

I'm surprised at the lack of calling out people for food texture.
> I don't like the feel of it in my mouth.

>>18208002
Probably got diabetes, faggot

Fat retards ITT
>FUCK PICKY EATERS YOU SHOULD EAT EVERYTHING
Mention eating bugs
>W-WELL THAT'S DIFFERENT... STOP LAUGHING AT ME! STOP IT NOW MISTER OR I WILL ROLL AWAY

>>18210172
I mean I'm happy to eat insects so long as they're actually commonly eaten by humans and not just an extreme poverty/survival thing
If someone served me a plate of fried grasshoppers or scorpions I'd have no problem eating it
I'm not eating worms or slugs though
Also I'm not eating brains either

>>18210291
>I'm not eating worms or slugs though
so picky

>>18199462
That's why I make my own food on the side when I cook for others. Like that everyone is happy and my childish picky taste isn't bothered.

>>18210295
Not really
Show me a culture which regularly eats those

I have the opposite problem. I'll eat anything and people give me shit for my dish looking like literal disgusting basic bitch slop. I am very sensitive to aesthetics, but not when it comes to food. It's literally just food.

>>18199530
Who would want to eat your shitty food. Narcissistic fuck

>>18206785
I would beat you into a bloody pulp

>>18210509
The energy reserves I have from eating beans begs to differ, bitch.

>>18210509
Sure you would beanboy, how’s that McDonald’s menu treating you a decade later?

Picky eater tip #186: if you’re eating something you don’t like simply chew it really fast and chase with water, the taste subsides quickly and you don’t look rude

>Picky eaters

>>18210172
>If you refuse to eat the bugs you are fat
Ok
