/ck/ - Food & Cooking

>I'm scared of anything I'm not already familiar with

>>4478752
>Can someone explain to me what goes through the minds of these people?
>implying they have brains

It makes me sick when the group actually caves to their demands. In my opinion, that is far worse than any picky eater.

Besides, almost every restaurant has burgers and chicken strips of some kind. He could have got cheese on a bun.

>I find it impossible to meddle in others eating habits

how the fuck can someone not like anything "foreign"?
that's such a broad generalization
so the faggot doesn't even eat chinese food or italian or a burrito
I think id have punch him in the taste buds

>fat fuck coworker
>let's go out to eat
>"no not there, it's too expensive"
>he means that the portions are normal people sized and he has to order two of everything so he doesn't risk feeling hungry later in the day
>mfw we go somewhere even more expensive and all they have is ridiculous oversize combo platters of gluttony

Guess it beats eating alone.

>>4478772
Nope. He hates anything that is even remotely foreign, or has two ingredients. One time I ordered some bbq ribs. He stared at in disgust while asking "What is that?"

>>4478773
I'm going to be honest, during university I was that guy. I worked my way though school and had virtually no money for food most of the time, so I got a very good feel for where I could get the most for my money. Normally I did not eat out of course, but when I did I'd try and point us towards this wing place that was all you could eat for $12. I felt like a fatass sitting there eating a dozen baskets of wings, but a lot of the time It was the first thing I ate in a couple of days.

tldr: Skinny broke college student out ate fat people for the sake of survival at all you can eats.

>>4478797
Is he an aspie? I'm not asking this as an insult, it really does sound like he suffers from some sort of mental illness.

>>4478797
This sounds like a person who's parents raised him on chicken nuggets and french fries. My youngest sister is actually the exact same way.

You know, you can tell the fussy eater to bring what he wants on his own and you can go out to eat with the rest of your friends. There's no shame in not catering to an idiot, you're only enabling him.

Do not, repeat DO NOT go out to eat with that fool anymore. Just don't. Or, if you are with a bunch of other people and you have to, just refuse, as a group, to indulge his behavior. If he doesn't want to eat what everyone else is eating, he can go somewhere else by himself. Offer to stop somewhere so he can get something AFTER you have all finished.

>>4478808
>>4478797
I was just thinking about that. Makes me think about Godel
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kurt_G%C3%B6del#Later_years_and_death
And Glenn Gould, who reduced the range of his food over the years (if I remember right).

Don't take the person next time.
Any other /ck/ crises I can help with, let me know.
Fucking dramatic idiots, all of you.

>>4478818
Seconded.

Drop them off at a chain, and then everyone go and have the time of their lives. Come back inebriated, laughing, make references to conversations made at lunch and leave them out, etc.

Or, you know, stop inviting the stupid fuck.

I have friends who are fussy eaters, but I make it a point not to dine with them. They have the right to eat however they like, but I'm not going to let their shit taste get in the way of my enjoyment. No reason to let your friends make you resentful.

And the shit about OP's friend being scared about anything "foreign" is fucking hilarious. I don't even know if I could maintain a friendship with someone like that, because it would be hard to resist the urge to mock them mercilessly.

>>4478808
>>4478827
I don't think he has a mental illness. He is quite dumb, but that's more of a refusal to try to learn rather than a lack of understanding.

result of shit parenting, varying degrees of mental issues like assburgers and ocd
and of course because they are retarded or at least borderline retarded

>>4478765
Far from "almost every restaurant" has burgers and chicken strips or some kind of variation.

>>4478802

fat fuck is anything but broke. just fatty mc fat.

>>4478765
>almost every restaurant has burgers and chicken strips of some kind

What kinds of shit restaurants do you eat at?

>>4478827
>>4478808
>Call up friend.
>"Hey, do you have aspergers."
>"What? No! Why would I have aspergers."
>"No reason. I'll hang up now."
>I hang up.
>He calls back.
>"Dude why the fuck did you think I have aspergers?"
>"No reason...."
>"Dude."
>"What about autism?"
>"What?"
>"Autism. Do you have it?"
>"WHY WOULD I HAVE AUTISM?"
>"Damn. Well never mind."
>I hang up.
>He calls back.
>"Dude. This is serious, why are you asking me this? Did I do something that made you think I had aspergers?"
>Quickly, think of an answer.
>"Yeah.. You invited me to play captain crunch on facebook. It's quite an autistic thing to do..."
>"IT'S A VERY POPULAR GAME!"
>"Yeah... suuure."
>"All right. I'm hanging up now."
>Hangs up.
>That was a close one.
I have concluded he is not an aspie.

>>4478871
Fair enough, but an overwhelming majority of family-friendly restaurants will. Every kids menu has chicken nuggers, french fried, etc.

I'll side with the fussy eater when anyone seriously wants to eat fine dining. "It's about quality over quantity." I can understand wanting to get a great burger as opposed to going to McDonald's and buying the lowest common denominator, but I don't have to do it in a formal setting that is adults-only.

Now if that person won't even go get a chili dog with me, then fuck 'em.

>>4478879
>What kind of awesome restaurants do you eat at?
FTFY

>>4478887

>>4478913
>an overwhelming majority of family-friendly restaurants wil

Places with kids' menus are usually shitty. Not all, but most.

>>4478928
Places with kids' menus are almost all better than fucking Subway. Not all, but most.

>>4478913
>>4478932
>2013
>being this American

Costanza etc.

>>4478928
I live in the South, and it must be the complete opposite where you're from. Keep in mind these are communities where the family is an important part of culture and life.

>barbecue
>soul food
>cajun/creole
>dairy bars

All family-friendly and God-tier.

>fusion
>"Mediterranean" (basically salmon, tomatoes, and spinach)
>vegan
>sushi
>Chipotle

Caters to the "individual" and is shit-tier.

>>4478939

Is this supposed to insinuate that the OP of this thread isn't likely an American? He was just offering a better/different option for picky eaters other than going to a fast food restaurant. There's a gap between subway and high end fine dining that's filled by an endless number of places, several of which would likely offer something that would satisfy picky eater guy. Some of which might even be a grilled cheese sandwich.

>>4478954
>living in the South
I can't imagine living like that. I'm sorry for your situation, friend.

>>4478954
>Keep in mind these are communities where the family is an important part of culture and life.

I love Southern ignorance - yeah, nobody else cares about family

>>4478932
I'd rather not go out to eat than eat at either of those choices. Thank god I live in a major city and have a ton of good options for when I don't feel like cooking.

>>4478959
Enjoy your broken home and LGBT "community".

>>4478960
>nobody else cares about family
I absolutely did not say that.

>>4478956
No, it's insinuating that only an American would consider a place with a kids menu and chicken nuggers, french fried etc. to be acceptable.

>>4478969
stop trying to make it a meme

>places with kids menus are bad
>nearly every chain restaurant in existance

Granted, they aren't "nice", but they can be decent places to eat. Going to 5 star places isn't always an option, you know.

>>4478752

I won't say I'm anything particularly similar to your faggy friend ( I'll try anything really) but I love getting just plain old ham sandwiches when I go to subway or other hoagie places. Just ham and bread. Its not that I refuse to eat the other stuff, its just what I like.

>>4479014
Get the fuck out.

>>4479061
>implying the only two options are chain restaurants or 5 star restaurants

Some of us live in actual cities with actual choices.

>>4478752
OP I think I have a friend who is exactly the opposite
>Friend is actually scared of dairy products like I mean frightened
>it has to be cold milk product for him to be scared
>won't eat cold pizza, raw cheese, cheese sticks, cottage cheese, etc
>one of my friends (trying to be funny) throws a cheesestick at him
>he flips out starts running away screaming YO DUDE NAH DUDE NO WAY DUDE
>after he calms down he fucking karate chops my friend in the chest
>we all ask him wtf is up
>DUDE DAIRY IS SCARY

He also hordes jiffy peanut butter in his pantry.

people who don't try new and different foods are just cowards. nothing of benefit has ever been achieve by cowards, and because of that i don't respect or associate with those who are unwilling to branch out and have new experiences or foods.

>>4479140
A million times this.

>>4479102
>getting buttmad when your 12 year old self gets called out

>>4479132
>DAIRY IS SCARY
This shouldn't make me laugh as much as it does.

>>4478913
Many family restaurants I go to only serve kid's meals to people aged 12 and under. I've actually had a waitress refuse to serve a kid's menu item to my 15-year old cousin.

And yes, we even got the manager involved and told us the same thing.

>>4478752
>he thinks there is anything wrong with a cheese sub
>thinks because it's subway you have to overfill your sandwich

oh boy.

>>4479169
>15 year old
>wanting a kids menu

And none of you belted him publicly for that shameful display?

>>4478752
You're douchebags for enabling that shit.

ive been all over the world and eaten a lot of shit

cow tongue, liver, brain, bugs, meat from all parts of the body from fucking everything

ok but no fuck you, i dont want to stack my subway with a mountain of lettace, tomato, onions, peppers, olives and mayonaise ok? same goes for burgers; fuck your lettuce, tomato, onion and pickles. i dont want a cold salad, i want something hot to eat.

not that i dont like vegetables, i love them, but when theyre in the right place and usually cooked. get that shit of my fucking sandwich

i dont care what you faggots who have been socially forced to eat this shit and think its necessary think, it sucks.

buffalo chicken sandwich? i want buffalo chicken, some cheese, maybe some chipolte sauce DONE

everything on the food network and in most "fancy" restaurants is overdone and just showy bullshit to hide actualy culinary talent

HURR IF I THROW EVERY IMAGINABLE TOPPING ON THIS ITLL BE EXQUISITE

>>4479169
Many restaurants and bars have chicken fingers on their appetizer or side dish menu.

>>4479193

>Buffalo Chicken sandwich
>chipotle sauce

>>4478954
Most food in the south sucks man. I grew up here and lived some years in the NE.

The only thing that stands up to food up that way is cajun/creole.

>I live in the South, and it must be the complete opposite where you're from. Keep in mind these are communities where the family is an important part of culture and life.

Get out and travel some, you're clueless as to how the world works.

>>4479210
yes

>>4479215
It's not a fucking buffalo chicken sandwich then.

HURR IF I THROW EVERY IMAGINABLE TOPPING ON THIS ITLL BE EXQUISITE

>>4479219
one or two things adds to it.

throwing like two handfuls of everything on the menu is destroying what it originally was


your seriously comparing 1 topping to 10. its not even a topping, its just a sauce

>>4479193
You sound like a friend of mine that tries to mock me for eating "salad burgers"

While he's eating a burger with nothing but meat and ketchup on it.

You simpletons are amusing.

This is why most restaurants have tiny additional odd selection of bland common amurican dishes for people who bring "that friend" out to eat.
Completely opposite to the ethnic background or theme of the cuisine you will find FRIED CHICKEN or FRENCH FRIES standing out like a sore thumb.

>>4479232
If you're going to an "ethnic" restaurant with french fries or other shit, chances are the "ethnic" food will be watered down shit as well.

>>4479210
i do the same thing. the buffalo chicken at subway has about as much buffalo sauce on it as an actual wild buffalo. it needs something else. though i do put some vegetables on there though (tomatoes, cucumbers onions) never letuce, agreed with no need for fucking mountains of stuff overpowering the meat and cheese.

>>4479222
You seriously don't think adding chipotle sauce to a buffalo chicken sandwich "destroys what it once was"

What is in their minds is you thinking about them. They just want attention.

>birthday yesterday
>have my few friends over for a nice dinner
>one brings his girlfriend, who goes to a different university, so i'd never met her before
>my girlfriend makes a delicious chicken massman curry
>turns out she's a vegetarian
>well fuck, sorry about that
>"it's okay i'll just pick it out, i'm not too strict about it"
>we get our food
>other friends think it's delicious
>it was
>hear her say to her boyfriend "it was good, though when it looked gross when i saw it and i didn't think i'd like it"
>offer them drinks a few times
>"no thanks, just water, my mom will be upset"
>we're all in our 20s, who the fuck is still afraid of their parents?
>they had one drink and left at 9pm
>my other friend got drunk and passed out on my couch
>he woke up at 1 am as we were doing dishes and says "oh fuck i have to get home"

the last part wasn't really relevant, but it was still funny, i don't think he drinks much at all.

>group of normal people, plus one redneck girl
>"I won't eat nothin' that's not 'murrican."
>She was dead serious
>we ask her what she actually will eat
>"Macaroni and cheese"

>>4479132
your friend is black. That was not a question.

>Be 20
>Go to restaurant
>Always order a burger

I don't want to get an unfamiliar dish and not like it

>>4479301
>we're all in our 20s, who the fuck is still afraid of their parents?

It's different for women sometimes, our mothers guilt trip us more than sons, so it's less a matter of being afraid and more a fear of letting them down.

>>4479309
imagine a white dude, with shoulder length black hair, who talks like a surfer. Here's my question, WHY ARE YOU SO WRONG?

>>4479354
This just happen to me

>order a burger
>The bun is cold
>There is pink in the middle
>There out of the kind fries you like

when I went there last week it was so much better

>>4478968
>southener
>homophobic

stereotypes are funny because they're true

>>4479398
>not liking pink in the middle of your burger

>>4479369

No, it's that women are taught not to be assertive.

Chili's and TGI Friday's are decent restaurants.

One of my friends is like this, but it's because his mother ruined his appetite and tastebuds, growing up. He grew up entirely on microwave chips and packaged sandwiches.

On the first day he moved out from home, he rang her up and asked how to cook pasta, and she didn't know, because she'd tried it once, without water, and it had burnt.

>>4479410
>deluding yourself that you like pink in the middle of your burger
>confusing steak and burger

>>4479079
This sounds like a polite way of refusing to eat other stuff. Fucking lowlife.

>>4479255
No, they just know that quite a bit of the local population is ignorant with their food diversity.
You can sometimes have amazing restaurants in areas usually associated with low-end.

>>4479369
this girl was old enough to be drinking though, she can go to a bar and get a drink for herself. she wasn't driving back, either. really, what's the big deal with having a glass of wine or something like that?

>>4479454
If you've never had a parent bash an idea into your head over and over since you were old enough to understand words, then you're not going to get it.

>>4479169
The point is that if they have a kid's menu they can usually improvise something for adults.

ill admit im really picky about most things food, but i have always been one to try it first before deciding i don't like it. So far i hate most veggies except onions corn mushrooms and pretty much every delicious pepper in existence, and i do like most exotic foods, but not sushi

I feel like everyone in this thread would hate me if they had to go out to eat with me.

#pickyeaterlife

Picky eaters all have a mental illness and need to be flogged in public. You're not a fucking man if you're a picky eater and throw up every time you eat something that isn't chicken fingers and candy.

>>4479591

whoa

>>4479597
how is this possible

i don't understand

>>4479597
Fuck you you fucking picky fuck.
Why the fuck is your diet so exclusive?

>Meats that aren't chicken.
>Things I do like.
>Pepperoni pizza.

>>4479705
I didn't say it had to make sense. I also don't like melted cheese which is on pizza.

Well, I don't eat like 85% of what other normal people eat, but people like this guy >>4479597 have always baffled me.

When I was 25yo I dated a girl that was even pickier than me, which was cute at first, but then I started eating more varied foods, which made me realize how much I was missing out and how fucking annoying it was to cook with someone with so narrow tastes.

I still have pretty unusual tastes, see pic related

This is a normal persons picky diet.
I don't care for
>brussels sprouts (but I'll eat them)
>Chicken skin (but I'll eat it)
>turnip greens
>most pastries (danishes and such)
>strawberry ice cream
>artificial watermelon/grape flavoring
>thats all I can think of

Fuck all of you picky eating bitches

>>4479701

lol you're a fag

>>4478802

>>4479583
>Picky eaters all have a mental illness
Stopped reading right there.

>>4479423
A little pink in your burger is good. I get mine medium if I trust the place.

My ex was an extreme picky eater, to the point of insanity. We would go out in a group, and I'd have to stop by a fast food place beforehand to get them a plain burger with nothing on it. There just seemed to be a cutoff point in their life where if they hadn't had something by then, it was forbidden from then on. I ended up buying a second-hand freezer just for all of their frozen french fries and chicken strips. I remember one occasion where they threw out a bunch of marinating chicken satay I had prepared for a BBQ the next day as it was "ruined chicken" and they "couldn't stand to look at it". They would sneer when I'd eat something spicy and on more than one occasion when it overwhelmed them, they wouldn't even cuddle, as I "am what I eat; gross food". We ended up having an explosive break-up after they ruined a Six Flags trip my friends and I had planned by trashing all of my prepared food because I didn't cater to their needs exclusively.

It was nice to empty out that freezer, though.

Shame I have to use it store their body.

>>4479405

pimpin aint easy anon

>>4479956

Pronoun game

Go where group decides if he he can't find something on menu to eat or ask for a cheese sandwich there then he doesn't need to go out and eat with u!
My sister would always say go wherever to eat then when u said where she would say she wasn't going to eat there I just don't go out to eat with her anymore!

in dutch

bruine brood met kaas

in french

baguette la fromage

bread and cheese is a staple food for many places. In paris you have street vendors serving bread and cheese like you would find hotdog vendors in new york. In the netherlands many streetside cafes serve simple cheese sandwiches.

>>4479705
pork is like chicken, its the other white meat

>that one cousin of mine who wouldn't eat anything while out except fish and chips

...
Your french is terrible.

>>4480103

>>4480103

au fromage would be "cheese baguette". As in a baguette with cheese on it.

>>4480193
Why can't french people just speak accented english like they do in movies?

>>4480098
Fish & chips are awesome, but I can't imagine having it at every outing.

>microwaved chips
Eww. Gross.

>>4480261
Because the last thing I need is Reddit in real life.

Is there any cure for being picky? There are certain things I hate eating, but it's all textural- I looove the taste.
For instance, I love onions, but I have to cook them to the point of mush in order to not feel them. Nuts too- I love nut butters, but won't eat whole nuts like almonds or peanuts. But it's all in the texture. Wilted greens are slimy feeling, but I love the way they taste.
It's a huge pain in the ass.

>>4480290
a psychologist can usually help

>>4480168
I used to be a picky eater because my mom was one of those types that forced me to stay at the table all night and eat everything.

Now I will eat just about anything execpt onions. They are filthy and impure.

>>4479369
I don't think this is exclusive to females. More common, sure.
A friend of mine is so overprotected and guilt tripped by his parents it's sad.
>Barely eats anything that isn't meat or potatoes because his parents always cooked him a "special" meal so he would eat as a child
>When he decided to move out (at 22) his dad stopped talking to him for a week because he was "abandoning him"
>Started smoking out of rebellion but literally cried when someone mentioned it online and his parents found out
>Moved back in with his parents cause he couldn't handle having to clean his shit and cook
>Got his first girlfriend but was too afraid to touch her for a year till they broke up
He's now almost30 and still lives with his parents. Kinda sad how they fucked him up because he's actually a massive bro. The rest of his siblings are fine, it's just him that's overprotected.

>the buffalo chicken at subway has about as much buffalo sauce an actual wild buffalo

Ok, i disagree with this, but that was legitimately hilarious. I'm using this the next time i have the opportunity.

>>4478752
My friend's ex was the same way. We would buy a sub, and she wanted just white bread with a few pieces of ham. That was it.

I just...I don't get it.

>>4480411
I love butt nutters.

I have made a rule, if you can keep to your hands on specific things you wont eat I.e. count on your fingers, and not just "vegetables" or something then you are not picky

I used to be an extremely picky eater, but I've narrowed it down to about 5 things I just cant eat
watery spinach, fresh and baked is fine
tomatos, whole, diced is fine, same with sauces
peaches, will eat but very picky about fruit quality
...
hmm now that I think about it it's basically only tomatos
everything else is just preparation

>>4480773
Same.

I was living on like 5 bucks a day and it made me drop a lot of my picky-ness.

Only thing I won't eat are onions. Fuck onions, and fuck how they're in everything.

>>4480777
Yeah I grew up basically, now my cousin only eats about 10 different foods, he's like 14 now

I worry about him, I dropped my pickyness when i was about 11, i think it might be too late for him

>>4478802
>Be a student

It's just so cheap.

>>4480820
man you at least gotta spice that shit up

>>4480832
But dude, it's 8 cents a meal.

>>4480858
At the expense of your health and dignity. Is it that difficult to find real food cheaply?

>>4479903
Are you serious?

>Enjoy your broken home and LGBT "community".

Yeah, that's not homophobic at all.

>>4480858

You could at least add eggs hardboiled or dropped in it as well as veggies and stuff without spending hardly any more money. If you just eat that you're getting way too much sodium and will probably get scruvy eventually. I'm not saying you can continue to eat ramen rather a lot but you've got to add some stuff to your diet. Beans and lentils are also dirt cheap but healthier and you can do more with them. Just make bean tacos with lettuce and cheese, add fresh fruit (it isn't expensive if you buy like just bulk apples and eat them). Potatoes too.

>>4478752
They have different tastes than you do. Did you really need that explained to you?

Had a friend that only ate chicken mcnuggets, ramen, and chips. I tried to make him eat other things but refused constantly with a disgusted face. Now his teeth are all fucked up because of his poor diet.

>>4479140
Some people are more comfortable with the familiar than the new and adventerous.
I don't agree with that, I'm not going to hang out with them, it's incredibly boring to me, but it's how they are.

HAHAHA good one anon

>>4479132
mah sides

>>4478752
the problem OP, is that you are friends with a retard. Just stop inviting him to dinner

>>4479301
So what was the problem here? She was fine with eating a meat dish, didn't raise a fuss, and even admitted to liking something she didn't think she would.

I think you confused this thread for the one about well adjusted individuals

>go to food place
>you are allowed to order what you like
>people get confused when you ask for things that are on their menu and displayed
Fucking chinks. No I don't want goddamn mushrooms.

>>4480430
The worst I have to deal with are people who only like cheese pizza.

I mean, fucking please

I was a picky eater as a kid, but it was mostly okay because my family liked the same foods I did. I wasn't scared of trying new things, but some of that southern shit my grandma would make? I puked more than once.

Also if I was staying over somewhere I'd try to never eat anything or use their bathroom.

>>4481243
I was kind of picky because a lot of a new stuff I was made to try just wasn't good.

>Oh boy eat these greens
>they're wilted and stringy


>Drink this it's good for you, you can't leave until you drink it all
>it's buttermilk

>>4480777
I like onions because I'm an adult. You may think you don't like onions, but unless you have the taste perception of a dog, you're full of shit. That's because everything worth eating has onions in it. Don't believe me? Here's a list of foods that onion-haters like, despite the fact that they contain onions:

-Pizza. Think your rancorous hatred of onions is sated by not ordering them on your pizza? What do you think gives the sauce its flavor, dipshit?

-Burgers. Patties are seasoned with onion powder. Pull your head out of your ass.

-Stuffing. Onions make those giant clots of bread worth shoving into your ugly, hateful mouth.

-Onion rings. Inexplicably, some onion haters will order onion rings, despite the fact that onion rings are made with onions. "Well I don't mind onion rings." So fried onions get to keep their seat in the front of the bus in your world? You know what, don't eat onions; we don't need your charity.

-Ramen. Wow, more onions. It's almost like onions are in everything. Hmm, where have I heard that? Oh yeah, right at the start of this fucking list.

-Fried chicken. Keep shoving that breading into your tooth-hole, lardass! The onion-powder in the batter gives your taste buds purpose.

-Gravy, BBQ, coleslaw, ranch dressing, etc, etc. Onions, onions, onions. Onions make you feel unstoppable.

Everything has onions in it. I love onions with all my heart and soul.

>>4481251
I love onion flavor. Just not a gigantic fan of eating a lot of things that have big onion pieces because of the stringy mouthfeel, or something.

I love Garlic too but you don't see me eating chunks out of a clove.

>inb4 >not eating garlic that way

>>4478752

This has to be bullshit. If it's not tell him to eat a spoonful of miracle whip and a slice of balogna or whatever the fuck before you go out so he doesn't ruin everyone else's good time, the faggot.

>>4481255
>stringy mouthfeel

So then you meant to say raw onions? Because those are the only kind that have that texture.

>Eat organic for a week
>my dick is suddenly an inch bigger

Why didn't you guys tell me about this earlier? Holy shit.

>>4481270
Make a bet with some of your friends and eat it for another week then.

>>4480773
I can't stand olives or feta cheese.
I wish I liked it, but it's just not happening, and I've tried multiple times in various places. From Greece to Italy, Slovenia, Spain. I gave it a chance, but no.

It makes me more angry that you people choose to consort with these sort of faggots.

>mini school trip across the state
>stop in Mediterranean place because there are none on our side of the state
>oh fuck can't look picky considering I've never had Mediterranean
>even though it's mostly because of autistic little bro and poor family
>fuck order something fuck how about stuffed grape leaves
>oh god this is more delicious than anything I must have more
>but fuck this little pink radish

Basically the only things I don't like are baked beans and flavored dairy.

>>4478752

>have a friend like OP
>will only eat wendys, kraft mac n cheese, or scrambled eggs with toast

and i'm going to be roommates with this mother fucker. i'll not have any of this

>friend of a few other friends

>refuses to eat anything she knows the origin of
>don't know this
>make an in-joke with another friend about chicken breasts/boobs
>friend gets up and dumps her entire lunch in the trash because she had a chicken sandwich
>refuses to touch chicken for the next three months

>she's got a kid now
Poor kid.

The fact of life for a shitload of manchildren

These people make me want to mimic the 'gluttony' murder scene from Seven.

>>4478802

Im in the exact same situation, work in a cantina along with 20 other students, where getting extra shifts is a battle.

Usually get my food out of dumpsters behind grocery stores. Haven't eaten out in a year.

>>4481321
Jesus christ, this is america right?

>>4481251
I love sauteed onions and things cooked with onions into them but I am physically incapable of eating raw onions, I just gag like crazy and nothing goes down. So for a long time I had this aversion to anything with visible onions in it. I now know better, but I understand when people say they hate onions it's because of the association with nasty raw onions.

>>4481305
I was gonna say
>don't do it man
But then I thought
>at least he probably won't steal your food

>>4481308
Wait, did she think chicken breast was actual boobs? 'cause only mammals have those and chickens aren't mammals. "breast" just means the front part. Like on a jacket.

>>4481330
If he it she would qualify for food stamps.

>>4478802
>tfw frugal and manage to eat well
Seriously it's not that fucking hard to spend like $10 on veg at the start of the week and be creative with it.

>>4481313
Nah m8, I'm half Slovenian, so I've just travelled a lot around the areas in southern Europe with family.

>>4478808
I'm an aspie and I love almost all food.

>>4481292
How odd. Every Slovene, Hungarian and Ukrainian I know hates olives. Wonder what that's about.

>>4481270
>not fap for a month
>dick is 2 inches bigger

>>4481305
Just hope that he doesn't leave the dishes in the sink, or ruin your expensive cookware.

>>4481301
>flavored dairy
You don't like ice cream? I'm impressed, actually.

I have a friend that only eats plain chicken tenders, plain hot dogs, plain cheese pizza, etc.
Luckily when we all go out, a lot of places serve things like this to appease people like him.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neophobia

The only thing worse than picky eaters are picky eaters who think they're better than everyone else.

>no, I will not have that faggoty artichoke pizza, I'll stick to my plain cheese pizza, thank you very much

>>4482459
to be more specific https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Food_neophobia

>>4478827
What the fuck?

Was he afraid he would poison himself if he cooked something?

I'm a little surprised that no one has linked this yet : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IJGIMd3_LfY

>>4481270
did anyone really need to tell you? Look at vegans no group of humans are bigger sluts (male and female). Which means there's probably a reason why.

I'll be forever fat because I can't stand the texture of any vegetable that goes in a salad. I also don't like tomatoes when they aren't a paste or sauce.

To be fair, I'm working on overcoming my pickiness and started eating vegetables like corn and potatoes, as well as green beans. I also hate pretty much every salad dressing ever.

>>4482671
>I also hate pretty much every salad dressing ever
Good, dressings are just extra crap that you shouldn't eat with your salad anyways. Especially if you're trying to slim up.

>>4479956
Because being that much of a little bitch is a gender unto itself.

>>4482671
corn and potatoes are in no way vegetables.
And tomatoes are barely a vegetable as well.
stop being a bitch
>bitch

>>4478797
What does this dude eat? Lettuce?

>>4482711
Corn and potatoes are both vegetables.

>>4479369
>It's different for women sometimes, our mothers guilt trip us more than sons
Bullshit. Try being the only son and youngest child.

>know a kid sort of like OP's in high school
>has to have a different plate for each part of the meal at nicer places
>lives on fast food because it's "all that tastes good" to him
>went to subway with him a few times, each time he got a sub that was nothing but white bread, turkey slices, and lettuce.

>>4482782
Oh, and when he'd get a steak or something, he'd take a napkin and wipe it off until it was dry.

He also cut the edges of the steak off and would only eat the "medallion" of the middle that was left.

>>4481268
Stringy or overcooked. Or I guess left-overs.

>only sub I'll eat is roast beef, mayo, and provologne on white bread
>have to repeat order fifty times at Publix because "lol don't you want no veggies? lol are you sure that's all you want?"
IT'S A SIMPLE FUCKING ORDER, WHY DO PEOPLE DO THIS, I ORDERED THREE FUCKING THINGS, IF I WANTED MORE I'D HAVE ASKED FOR MORE, FUCK.

>>4479597
For me:
>Ketchup or mustard
I tolerate mustard, but vastly prefer ketchup
>Sauces, creamy or whatever consistency
Wonderful
>Any fish or sea food at all
Divine
>Pickles
I only like the sweet butter variety. They are the best for bratwursts
>Beef
average
>Sesame seeds
I used to hate them because they were annoying and flavorless when I was young, but I love them now
>Melted cheese
The best. Fuck you for not liking it on anything
>Bananas and pears
My favorite fruits next to pomegranate
>Rice
I prefer white, but occasionally tolerate fried
>Chinese or Mexican food
Authentic or American, I love it either way. I prefer Chinese food though

>>4482711
>corn and potatoes are in no way vegetables

What?

>>4482823
Presumably he only counts them as vegetables if you can eat large amounts of them without becoming morbidly obese.

Personally I'm not picky at all, there's a few things I don't care much for but the only thing I won't eat is beef liver. I've only had it once though and I'm willing to try it again with a different preparation.

>Partner incredibly fussy when it comes to food.
>Won't eat vegetables, salads, majority cuts of meat.
>Never tries new things.
>Can't cook
>Eats stuff like pizza, toast, instant noodles, frozen over processed foods, various take out or spaghetti
>Doesn't even try any food I make unless it's something above.
>Make spaghetti
>Doesn't even try it
>He shows interest in cooking, direct him to good websites for recipes.
>"You can teach me!"
>Ok, look at these recipes
>"No, you can teach me. I'll just watch you cook"
>Next time I cook, he stays at his computer playing video games. Once again doesn't eat what I made because he 'doesnt like x food'
>He wants us to move in together

I'm not sure I can live with someone that makes me do all the cooking but won't eat anything.

>>4483772
I don't think you should move in with him anon. But is that the norm or he really doesn't eat anything you make for him?

>>4482814
Nice, I have a Vizsla!

>>4483803
He just doesn't eat anything at all apart from what I listed. He lives with his mother and he doesn't eat anything she makes either.
One time I was staying at his place and his mom made these amazing lamb cutlets, mashed potatoes and veggies. Tasted amazing.
What did he eat? Fucking pizza pockets.

>>4483836
How have you reached the stage where moving in is even on the table? Shouldn't you have dumped his sorry ass by now? Is he the heir to billions or something?

>>4483772
>"You can teach me!"
he said that coz he wanted your vag
>Next time I cook, he stays at his computer playing video games
This was after he got your vag right?

>>4483849
Well I think it's still way too early at this point for us to think of moving out, but he keeps hinting at it.
But I don't even know. Part of the reason is his friends are my friends and I don't want to lose my friends over this. Also he's a nice guy usually and I'm not sure dumping someone over food tastes is a good thing to do.

>>4483875
Both times are post-vag and that is a whole other can of worms that isn't appropriate for a cooking board.

>>4478954
Don't know what part of the south you're from, but here in central Alabama we've got a pretty decent variety of local restaurants. What an annoying stereotype.

>>4483772
So fucking glad my girlfriend isn't a picky eater.

She just doesn't like overly sweet foods, which I can live with.

U cook he no eat u have leftovers win win he need to make own food then

>>4483886
My friend group has gone through a few in-relationships, and they usually don't ruin anything if there's a reason. If the reasons you have in your head wouldn't be good enough for the friend group, they're either not good enough reasons, or it might be worth escaping your friend group.

>have a Hindu friend
>have a Muslim friend
> fuckin chicken allday errday

>>4481321

But you have money for the internet?

>>4483886
never heard a chick refer to her vag as a can of worms, you sound like a special lady

I had this friend that would only eat asian food, only exceptions was anything deep fried.
He was also the kind of guy that would slip in japanese words into his everyday speech.
He is no longer my friend.

Being the oldest sucks the worst. You're the test-kid. You fuck up and they pull the I'm-so-disappointed on you and you get grounded/bitched at. Your younger sibling does the same thing? LAUGH IT OFF.

>I always love trying new things, used to be picky, now relish in variety
>too lazy to cook, go to the grocery
>just eat fast food and takeout

I have a problem

>>4483933
Chicken? My Hindu friend is a strict vegetarian.

Apparently my mother used to have my brother and I eat all kinds of food when we were young.

>Cant stand Mustard, or any kind of white condiments or dressings (ie; ranch, sour cream, etc)
Ketchup and hot sauce for DAYS, though oddly enough I do like french onion dip.

>almost threw up when I ate a raw cherry tomato, in front of classmates
I love all things dealing with pastas with tomato in it, I just wont eat the chunks of tomato.

>Dont like fish, though I admit Ive never really eaten any
Love crab, lobster and sometimes, shrimp. Dont want clams, though.

>I dont eat any 'game' meat
Rabbit, Deer, Duck, and whathaveyou, none of those.
>I dont eat "odd parts" or Blood Sausages
No tongues, no eyes, no brains. Nope nope nope.

>I barely eat vegetables or mushrooms
Though, recently Ive been eating spinach, and broccoli, probably the only green things I eat.

>>4484101
I'm the oldest, and also somewhat more of an achiever than my brother. He always gets the 'look what your sister had done by your age' lecture. My friend's the youngest and she's always being compared to her older brothers too. Being oldest doesn't suck all that much

>>4482768
>>4484101
You both got it wrong, it's far worse to be the foreveralone.jpg only child. Expectations that can never be filled, and even if they are, it just satisfies them. No praise, ever. Constant reminders of what other people's children are doing and that it's "normal". Not to mention they try to force upon you the things that they always wanted to do as a child, regardless if it is wanted or not.

I always imagined that people with siblings had someone to talk to if they were mad at or had a disagreement with their parents. I had silence and a deadbolt on my door.

>>4484101
I'm the youngest and I'm the one constantly ignored. All that shit about the youngest being the spoiled one? Not true in my case. I've lost count how many times my rents have forgotten to pick me up from school, the train station, anywhere. Never show up to anything that I find important.
They didn't even come to any of my graduations. I had to go with another family each time.
One of my birthdays my father called me (him and my mother had split up and my brothers had moved out), all my brothers were at his place. They were having this grand breakfast and I wasn't even invited.

>>4479185
maybe he just wanted a smaller portion...?

>>4479354
no matter where we fucking go, my boyfriend gets a bacon cheeseburger. we live in seattle, and there's some cool goddamn restaurants.
bacon. cheeseburger. every. single. time.

When I was a kid I used to be an extremely picky eater. I hated vegetables. Now I can't get enough of them.

I CANNOT HANDLE THE SENSATION OF CHEWING LETTUCE
NOPENOPENOPE

>>4478752
your friend is a moron. unfriend him.

food is wonderful. i just hate cooking it

>>4481251
>getting this mad over what a stranger says they don't like

>>4484279
I hate lettuce. It doesn't improve anything it participates in, and there's a million better alternatives.

>inb4 b-but it has flavors!!

>>4484629
>being so new as to not recognize this copypasta

>>4484165
You're a child.

These people are grown ass human beings. Why can't they just fucking eat whats served for them.

>>4484637 it's about dat crunch. Also never get iceberg, romaine is much better.

>>4484686
>it's about dat crunch
>but use this considerably less crunchy variety instead

>>4484686
It's not even crunch, it's snap-WATER-WATER. Why would I want to bite into water? I especially don't want water on my burger.

>people that dislike liver, tongue and blood sausage

If female: Acceptable
If male: Laughable

>>4478808
.....some kids with developmental issues may have versions to certain things (crunchy/soft/slimy/too intense a flavor) which looks like being a picky eater but the kid literally feels extreme discomfort while eating, this left untreated can affect adults. But then there are god damned picky eaters with no fucking reason whatsoever and who are just devoid of taste buds.

My girlfriend used to have this weird thing about "I don't want my food touch on the plate".

>pasta and sauce may not touch
>meat and sides have to be on the far ends of the plate
>ketchup on top of fries? no way

Good thing that she was embarrassed to tell me when I started dating her because she loved everything I cooked for her even when it was "touching".

She also still gives me shocked faces when I suggest new dishes to her. At first I always thought she had it before and disliked it. However, turns out, she almost never tries anything new. I think she stuck to chicken tenders, potato skins, steak, chicken and chips for most of her time at college. No idea how she managed to stay thin. It kinda became a running gag between us and our friends because I always ask her "So, you don't like X? Did you ever try it?".

She's also never seen live sheep. Not that this is /ck/ related but I thought that was special.

I used to be like this, because of a very limited diet growing up. One day, I went to a Thai place with my girlfriend at the time, and got some kind of tofu stir fry. Shit was absolutely fucking god-tier, and when we left we went and bought a bunch of stuff and cooked throughout the night.

I've got a friend who doesn't even know how to work an oven, though. Not a picky eater, just idiotic when it comes to cooking.

>>4484782
>chicken tenders, potato skins, steak, chicken and chips

Fucking disgusting. I don't know how you manage to even look at her.

>>4484842
Also, one story:
>Growing up, hated onions.
>REALLY hated onions
>Everyone in my house did too, so no problems
>Decide to make pasta one day
>Call up girlfriend (also doesn't like onions)
>"Hey how do you caramelize onions?"
>She's notably shocked
>I make an onion/garlic butter sauce (needed to keep it basic because I couldn't cook at the time)
>Realize the glory of onions
>Can't get enough of 'em now

>>4484848
Well, she's a cheerleader girl. Like I said, I have no idea how her metabolism works.

>mfw i first saw her

>>4484912
>cheerleaders
>not the skinniest, blandest looking barbie dolls ever

Disgusting.

>>4484926
We get it, you think Hollywood movies are real life.

The only food that disgusts me is sour cream, and even then I don't mind it if it's baked into something. Probably only because I fucking loathe the smell of sour cream & onion potato chips.

Picky eaters disgust me. I have one cousin who's like ten down in Texas who'll eat nothing but chips, mac n' cheese, and hot dogs and drink nothing but Coke. I love the kid but his lack of taste disgusts me.

>>4479354
live life. its not like you don't live in a place where even the ethnic food is geared to the local palate. Why are you even here? enjoying food is kind of a requirement for cooking food.

I know several people who claim they "hate all fruit and vegetables".

Seriously, how can someone hate all fruit and veg? Like everyone's allowed a few picky things, I know a lot of people that hate onions or mushrooms for example. I'm not a big avocado fan etc.

But everything?
Like one of them will buy a store packaged chicken salad sandwich, then open it up, pick out the salad and tomato, then eat just the bread and meagre pieces of chicken. The same friend also ordered a bolognese in a restaurant, and spent literally a good 30 minutes picking out every tiny bit of vegetable in it until it was just mince and sauce.

Obviously they're all chubby, unhealthy shits.

>>4479956
Definition of they

>2 [singular] used to refer to a person of unspecified sex:

>>4478834
>Come back inebriated, laughing, make references to conversations made at lunch and leave them out, etc.
This is the only charitable thing to do. Or exterminate them with extreme prejudice.

>>nobody else cares about family

How can anyone be this retarded? Oh, wait,

It's natural to dislike people that won't try new things, right guize?

>>4485615
Yes, that's correct.

>>4485615
If you're a shallow prick.

>>4485664
But people who don't try new things are 9 times out of 10 the shallow pricks in the first place.

i had pig lower intestine with cartilage in korea. No, i would nto like to eat that again.

>>4485087
>Dairy is good, just not milk.
But dairy IS milk. Everything that constitutes as dairy is some sort of milk product.

>>4485794

Not the samefag, but milk products and milk are two different things.

The only exception to this is my one coworker who actually is allergic to onions. One time for a couple of days, all I saw him eat was steamed rice. But he just brings his lunch anyway.

>>4484769
>like that one episode of hells kitchen where gordon ramsey mate a pate from hotdogs, fondue from spray cheese, kebabs from TV dinners, and catfish caviar.
Then none of the chefs could distinguish the lack of quality in the dishes.
Then gordon forcefully submitted them to a blind taste identifying test.
That shit was hilarious.
>and the women won.
>though it was understandable because the men's team had a potato boy and a whigger thug from prison.

All you picky eaters, special diet munchers, etc. should just go play in traffic. Jump off a cliff, please.

No, you shouldn't move in with him if he's going to be a child when it comes to food.
>Next time, you drag him to an ethnic restaurant, no excuses, and order for him based off of what he likes.
I got my bf to enjoy broccoli, sushi, and curry that way.
And you need to express your shame in his lack of taste a little more heavily, especially when they say that their favorite child hood foods are frozen mini pizzas and velveeta mac n' cheese.
>mfw his smaller brothers said they they swore off blueberries after they were forced to eat a burnt pie

>>4483886
You don't need to dump him, you need to insult his manliness for being a picky baby when it comes to food.
Spoon/hand feed him in front of his friends/ya'lls family for extra embarrassment.
He'll get the message eventually.

>>4481409

Tell you what. I like Slovenia, been there eight times the past three years and it'll be another three times by the end of this year. Mostly because my parents live there (professional reasons, never had any relation to Slovenia prior to them moving there), but even if they didn't, I'd go again.

Now this is /ck/ so I won't preach how much I adore the NSK movement, the tobacco culture or how beautiful Ljubljana, Maribor and the country side (especially the Karst area) is.

But your food, most books I've read insists that there is no such thing as "Traditional Slovene cuisine" and while it is true I don't see a lot of things that seem unique to Slovenia, I love how there is small pubs/bars and cafés every fucking where in Ljubljana. The beer is good too, Lasko has easily my second favourite beer in the world, though I don't give much for Union.
And to add to that thing about the tobacco culture - so many people smoke, and as a smoker myself I'm not bothered by it, in fact, I love how that there is an ashtray on every out door table at every café - and if there isn't, a waiter will drop one off literally less than ten seconds after you have a seat.

Unfortunately I haven't had the chance to taste the "newly rediscovered" Ljubljana cake, but it is only a matter of time.

If I could choose to live anywhere in the world, Slovenia would be my second choice after Switzerland.

My only complaint is your language, it sounds like someone rewinding a Germany porn, but probably because I still haven't picked up that much of it other than "good day" "thank you" and "do you speak English?".

I've tried having a sister, yet being an only child.
It's a bit confusing, but essentially, my older sister moved out when she was 14 or so, moved to a boarding school and only came home when forced to (school closing or similar). I was ten at the time.

And I agree with you entirely.

Before she moved out, I was a fairly normal kid. After she moved out I became a shut in, spend my time playing computer or watching TV alone, whereas when she was with my family we spend time together. It might have messed me up because later I developed a "mild case" of autism (but I knew beforehand about Chris-Chan and thus what to not be).

Essentially my sister and I were strangers until I moved out too, then suddenly we were siblings again.

Thing is, life can be so simple without siblings. You don't have to worry about them spending an eternity in the bathroom in the morning while you are desperately trying to get them out so you can brush your teeth. If your family has more than one computer or television, you don't have to share.

But as you said: No one to talk to.

When my sister was visiting us, it felt like a stranger, sometimes it felt like I was the one they all ganged up on - mostly because when my sister was visiting, my parents was extra nice so it didn't feel like she had to move out because they hated her, not that they did hate her.

Now that we've both moved out, when we talk about our parents, oh the things we'll say. We've reached a few mutual agreements about our family: Our mother is a bitch who needs to get laid and our father is a spineless doormat who tries to please everyone. And that is putting it politely.

i'm fine with fresh onions but boiled or fried onions make me sick
replace onion with any vegetable actually

>>4486865
Do people really boil vegetation? I thought that was just something chefs told each other over campfires to scare one another.

>Our mother is a bitch who needs to get laid and our father is a spineless doormat who tries to please everyone
The only reason I know you're not my younger brother is he's underaged and I never went to a boarding school, but goddamn does this fit my parents to a T.

Also my family likes to burn everything, says its better tasting. My dad makes breakfast and burns all the toast to a nearly black state.

I suppose the only thing I'm picky about is large chunks of onions and baked beans. Never liked either of them. Also can't eat lemon cake after I happened to have it before getting sick so bad I had to be hospitalized for a week.

I'm convinced it is brain damage.

>broccoli, sushi, and curry
What kind of pleb dislikes this shit? The second I made a connection of escargot tasting like clams (I fucking love shellfish) when I was 10, I didn't give a shit what I ate.

I actually live in America and went dumpster diving with a friend of mine on a couple of occasions.

Because of health regulations, you can get "spoiled" food in large quantities for free.

It sucks that it's all one type of food or even the same food usually, but if a store sets out 12 boxes of granola bars and about 15 large boxes of cereal because its "Best if Eaten Before" date was today, I'll take it.

On one occasion, we filled up the back seat of my car with completely sealed, dry and clean prepackaged food and then gave distributed it among parents'/friend's houses just for fun

They didn't believe we got it from a dumpster

>>4487019
>gave distributed
woops

Why is it that they won't serve you a children's item

is it just because they're cheaper?

I work as a burger flipper/cashier at a fast food chain, I suppose that makes me your devil, but I'm on your side too, I hate this kind of crap as much as you do.

Unfortunately I don't have a lot of fussy eater stories, but I have had a couple of... unusual requests.

Interested?

>>4487115

100% intersted

>>4487128

One person is good enough for me.
Now two things not related to how the costumers behave, but that might help setting the scene:
1. I'm from a European country where English isn't the native language.
2. I work for a Burger King. Just so I can go ahead and use the correct burger names, but for the most part the names doesn't matter.

Anyway, onto the stories.

Number 1:
>Costumer comes up and orders a vegetarian burger with bacon.
>Being rather confused by this, she probably saw my face and explained.
>She prefers the veggie patty over other patties, but also want bacon in her burger.
>Weird, but check out if the combination is even possible to enter into the system.
>For some unholy reason it is, so I put in the combination.
>One minute later, the voice of the kitchen staff can be heard over the chute:
>"Anon... you need a vegetarian burger with bacon!?"
>"Yeah, costumer's preferences apparently. No vegetarian issues here, just preferences."
>They get on with making the burger and all is well.

>>4487163

Number 2:
>Costumer orders a Kid's hamburger. Now the difference between an ordinary hamburger and a kid's hamburger is that there is no pickles or mustard. McDonald's cheeseburgers has onions in them, but Burger King's don't.
>So essentially a kid's hamburger is just the bun, the patty and ketchup.
>This costumer asked for it to be without meat.
>I look up confused, asks if it is due to vegetarianism, because we have a vegetarian burger.
>No, the child just don't like meat.
>I'm confused, but shrug it off as I get paid the same.
>However the computer system is rather - for the lack of better word - autistic. For example you can't add cheese to a burger if there is a separate entry for said burger with cheese.
>And there has never been, and probably never will be an option on the computer to tell the kitchen not to put meat in it.
>Tell the kitchen that the kid's hamburger is without meat.
>They give me a look best described as "what the fuck?" meets "are you fucking kidding me?" and asks me if I'm serious.
>I am.
>So they make a hamburger without pickles, mustard and a patty.
>Essentially a squirt of ketchup between two buns.
>Costumer pays and leaves.
>Weirdest fucking request at that time, but it put the "fast" in fast food as it took only 10 seconds to make.

Number 3:
Actually I kind of lied, story number three is more the combination of one costumer's mission to make me hate everyone ever. He is a regular, so my manager has given him a 15% permanent discount on all purchases, and damn he use it.
We'll call him Carl for now. Following up in next post.

Come here fast food bro
I know your pain and the shit you go through
Stay strong, anon.

Apparently a kid raised by a single mother in the late 80's.

Spent three months between jobs working at a Taco Bell.

>hand woman two drinks
>"Which one is the Mountain Dew?"
>"The green one."
>"So which one is the Pepsi?"
>SHE HAS TWO FUCKING DRINKS

>>4486966
fuck sushi

It isn't that bad... well except for a few things, but at least I get to drink as much soda I want when we've got nothing to do.

>>4487175

>I first met Carl a week or so after getting 'promoted' to cashier, not a promotion as such, but still.
>Carl waltzes into the "restaurant" right up to my co-worker and addresses her with her first name.
>This is rather odd since costumers usually don't bother learning our names, not even regulars.
>Carl sees me and asks me if I'm new. I confirm his question.
>He reach out his hand for a handshake, and I return the handshake since not returning it would be rude.
>He introduces himself as Carl, asks for my name and I answer.
>Despite not having any line at all and she being more experienced, my co-worker suggests that I take his order, I agree because I still need the training.
>He orders a campaign burger - Hot Chilli Cheese, I think it was called.
>Consists of: Bread, chili sauce, jalapeños, three small pattys, two slices of cheese and salad. I think, it's four months ago.
>That isn't the way Carl wants it.
>No chili sauce
>Double jalapeños
>Double amount of pattys
>No pickles
>Oh, and a metric shit tonne of bacon. Like, quintuple the normal amount.
>Let me stress that, everything else is vague, but he said: "And five times extra bacon."
>I desperately look for the options for combinations on the computer, finding out there is no options for adding more meat or jalapenõs.
>I ask my co-worker for help.
>"Just press pickles, they cost the same, but just tell the kitchen that it is meant to be jalapeños."
>Carl sees me adding the pickles on his side of the display and protests loudly.
>Explain him the situation, that calms him down a bit.
>I rush out in the kitchen to explain to them this unholy mess. I look for the nearest confession booth to cry out to a priest, but realise I'm in a Burger King and I'm not even a Catholic.

>>4487212

Forgot to add "To be continued," writing it up, but I have to leave in 45 minutes... ironically enough for the very work I'm telling you about now.

>>4487212

>Other than this "burger" it was a meal - large - but he also wanted some chicken nuggets as well, and a small Cola Light/Diet Coke.
>I ask him if his large Cola should be Light/Diet as well.
>Nope, ordinary cola.
>Confused as fuck, but we are through the mess and it is all ready. Carl gets his food and sits down to eat.
>As he leaves he waves and loudly exclaims, "See you later."

That was my first encounter with Carl. There are two more to go. And an epilogue.

>>4487217

Second encounter.
>Carl waltzes in - again. Again, no line.
>I'm impressed, how does he do that kind of thing? Whenever I'm there as a costumer there is such a long line that I feel bad about giving my co-workers stuff to do, so I leave without buying anything.
>He comes up to me "Hey Anon, remember me?" and reach out to shake hands.
>Politely I return the hand shake, "Yeah, it was Carl, wasn't it?"
>So, what can I do for him today.
>A kid's cheeseburger meal.
>With mustard, pickles, jalapeños, bacon, extra cheese, extra meat, extra... hang on a second! Did he just ask me to put back all the stuff that is removed from a kid's cheeseburger, just to add even more that makes it less a kid friendly cheeseburger?
>Yes, yes he did.
>Other than that, a large coke - normal coke, whereas the one with the kid's cheeseburger meal is small and should be diet.
>I ask to confirm this, and he confirms it.
>To extra cheeseburgers with the same thing in them as the one in the meal.
>"Kid's Cheeseburgers?"
>"No, ordinary cheeseburgers."
>"Should the kid's cheeseburger meal be an ordinary cheeseburger meal?"
>"No a kid's cheeseburger meal."
>For a brief second I give him my best poker face while contemplating what is going on.
>Eventually enter everything into the computer, inform the kitchen of the... quirks... these burgers has, and hope they won't be yelling terrible things at me in languages I've yet to understand.
>This makes no sense at all.
>Carl is a full grown man, why would he need a kid's meal!!?
>Ask him if he wants the box too, and the toy.
>Yes, yes he does.
>Not even anything special, just some plastic cartoon figures.
>Oh, and NO! Burger King in Europe recently had MLP figures.
>This story takes place before our store had those figures.
>So it wasn't even because Carl was a brony.
>He just wanted me to put it inside a small box with a plastic toy.
>WWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWRRRRRRRRRRRRRYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!?

OHHHHH...bro, the correct spelling is "customer"...

>>4487238

Part three is going to come up later, I have to take a shower and head to work, I'll be back by... my calculations? I'll be back in about 5-6 hours. If thread hasn't 404'd I'll post them here. If it has 404'd, I'll make a new one with a screen cap and post the rest.

>>4487244

Damn. I have an English spell checker installed in my browser... not so useful when I use a wrong - but correctly spelled - word.

My bad.

If there's somebody like that in a group with my friends, we fucking go to where we want to go anyway. Stop caving to people like that.

Man I thought I was picky for not liking the texture of onions or most fruits. Wow.

>>4484261
i love dicks. man i need to go back to seattle to get some dicks

here's what i dont like in food: pork tomatoes and ranch.
refuse to eat ranch in any way shape or form, same can be said for pork. The only problem i have with tomatoes is when they are raw, or just an extreme part of what im eating, like a roasted tomato with a kabob. But other than that i eat all pasta sauces, pizza, you name it, except ketchup(thats that shit i dont like)

I almost feel bad for picky eaters.

I love going to random ethnic restaurants and getting food I've only heard of.

Sometimes it's good, sometimes it's bad, but it's always a fun experience.

I don't like a lot of foods. When I was a child, I only wanted to eat rice and buttered noodles.

But I'm a grown fucking man, I eat things I don't like all the time. Because a balanced diet is better for me.

German here. We hosted a american exchange student here for a year. Jesus christ he was the pickiest eater i've ever seen.
He wouldn't touch a single vegetable nor fruits.
All he accepted was fast food dishes.
My mother tried to convince him to just try it literally every day for 3 months. One day she resigned because you couldn't change his mind.
We used to bought these cheap frozen 1kg chicken nuggets bags which he absolutely loved. He even said they are the best nuggets he had, although they are really bad in my opinion. So all he had over over the course of one year was frozen fast food goods and he was fine with it. The strangest thing was, that he wasn't even fat.

I always thought I was a picky kid, but jeez...What made me change? During later school I couldn't get through long days since I didn't have the energy.

I'm still kinda picky today. Mostly it's not because the taste but the texture. As with most vegetable and fruit.

>>4478752
Im dead serious, but is the guy autistic? One of the textbook symptoms of autism is an extreme insistence on eating the same fucking things, and they're usually total shit and simple with two flavors.
