>>5966051
you came here to bitch about how you don't like being told you have the taste of a four year old. you accompanied this post with a picture of a four year old trying to act like an adult. Your entire post is a clusterfuck. no one cares about what you order at a restaurant unless everyone has to eat it too. The only people who generally complain about picky eaters are generally the ones feeding them, or worried about their health.

>>5966051
Fuck you, childish loser.

Did you get mad about the vegetables thread and post a thread out of anger? That's not manchildy at all

>>5966051
People have been criticizing me for being a picky eater so much. For example, yesterday was the worst dinner I have ever had. I make a rule of not socializing with coworkers, and I should not have broken it. This may take 3 posts, it was THAT bad.

6 coworkers met at someone's house yesterday under the pretense of "Irish stew". I grudgingly accepted the invitation and arrived at 2 pm (when I was told to come). I brought traditional soda bread that had to be baked first. The host made a bit of a stink about using the oven when he had other things in there, but I told him I wanted it fresh.

The stew was still cooking and the host was already drinking alcohol at this time. In the middle of a conversation with a member of the opposite sex, the host tells me, "Please, no talk about politics. PLEASE not today". I said if more people talked about politics we would be in a better country, and he got very argumentative so I just dropped it.

I was drinking apple juice that I brought over and the host kept trying to get me to have a beer. He was obviously intoxicated and starting saying how maybe I would be relaxed and "cooler" if I had some alcohol. It was pathetic, like peer pressure from a high school TV show.

Anyway, at that point I became withdrawn and went for a walk. I came back right before dinner, and that is when the fun started.

He made "Irish stew" with beef, carrots, Worcestershire sauce, black pepper, hot sauce, oregano, tomato, and various ingredients. I started telling others that proper Irish stew should only contain mutton, potato, onion, and water, and that beef, tomato, black pepper, hot sauce, and other ingredients would not be available then and therefore it was a modern stew, not Irish stew.

We started eating and someone asked me about what I had said about real Irish stew. The host looked annoyed so I told him. He turned red and told me if I didn't like it I could "get the fuck out and take my apple juice with me".

I was shocked and speechless. He left the room and his girlfriend (they are unmarried but live together) apologized. Eventually, people started talking more comfortably and he came back and was brooding and drinking more.

The stew was okay, but not authentic. I asked him if he knew that mutton was on sale at a local store and he flew into a tirade, bringing up any small error or faux pas I have ever committed at work. People were trying to calm him down, and I simply responded to him in a quiet and calm voice, and said that I appreciated his invitation and his "take" on Irish stew, but it would have been nicer if the company had been more warm.

He got up and pulled me out of the chair, stretching my sweater at the neck. He was literally screaming in my face and had his fist up in a threatening manner.

>>5966105
I told him I would call the cops if he hit me. He then told me to get out and take my "fucking juice and shit bread" with him. A second loaf was still in the oven with 7 minutes left, and I said I wasn't leaving until it was cooked and I could take it.

He shouted at me to leave or he would call the cops ON ME (imagine) and then threw the bread out of the oven on the ground. I was shaking with emotions and told the group that I enjoyed my time with them but I couldn't say the same about the host.

It was a horrible affair, but I decided to make authentic Irish stew today, because I was let down yesterday and had a hankering for it. It is simmering on the stove and I plan on bringing it to lunch tomorrow, one bowl for me and some for the host. It will be a subtle form of revenge as well as a way to show him that I am a better cook and am the more mature, forgiving person.

>>5966110
I've read this story before
Sometimes you have to keep your mouth shut

>>5966117
Agreed. Sounds like your host was a screaming toddler, but you should've read the room a little better and not gone "oh, this stew you made yourself for all of us isn't authentic." that's pretty shitty of you to say to the host in any situation, but especially not when they're an aggressive drunk.

Sounds like the typical complainer to me. For all of you manchildren: next time you think about complaining about picky eaters, remember this story. This is what you look like.

How am I a sperglorg for calling out an old, wildly overused copypasta, faggot?

There is nothing wrong with being a picky eater.

However if you refuse to eat something someone else prepared for you because it's got celery in it or something then you're an asshole

>mfw I know where op's picture is from

N-nice thread..
Also nah. Picky eaters are pretty obnoxious.
My grandma cured me of that shit by enforcing the 'eat whats on your plate or go without' rule.
After a while of going to bed hungry (we never kept snacks in the house) I realized she wasn't fucking around, and suddenly those green beans started tasting pretty good

>>5966186
I think he meant that there's nothing wrong with doing it when you're making/buying food for yourself, but if somebody else makes/buys you a meal, you ought to eat it, even if it has icky green things.

>>5966243
Everyone already does that though. The context where picky eaters are annoying is in public situations. Exceptions are allergies (obviously) or diet restrictions because of religion or whatever. People usually have no issue with that. But the prick who says, "Eww is there broccoli in this?" is a giant prick

>>5966051
Being a picky eater is a symptom of a much bigger shitty personality.

>>5966250
this.
its a sign of a self indulgent personality.

What if I cooked you a plate of spicy diarrhea. Would you eat it? Wouldn't want to be one of those faggy self-indulgent picky eaters, right?

That reminds me of a story, went off to college and came back during winter break. Bunch of my friends still live here, added a few new friends to replace those that lost, most seem pretty cool.

We all (8 of us) go out to eat. We walk into a place, one of them asks to see the menu before we are seated and basically says he won't eat anything here, there is nothing he'll eat. So instead we step outside and decide again. End up driving like ~10 minutes down the road and go to a Chili's.

We go in, sit down, all order drinks and start looking at the menu. Same kid is like, I can't eat here there isn't anything I'll eat. I think I would rather go back to the first place.

WTF...really? We've fucking ordered drinks. Fuck it, we walk out. Drive back to the first place, walk in and sit down and order/eat. He gets a coke and doesn't order any food.

After we are done instead of finishing the night hanging out like the plan was, he wants someone to drop him off back at home, he called his mom to make him dinner.

I'm just like, what the fuck is wrong with this autistic faggot. Never hung out with him again. Straight up told them he can go fuck himself when im there or i'd rather go do something else.

>>5966243

that isn't being a picky eater

who the fuck buys things for themselves they don't like on purpose?

>>5966259
Solid logic.

>being a picky manchild

When anons complain about picky eaters they're usually talking about man-children.

Just because you're into 10 year old girls doesn't mean any of the meanies on /ck/ are talking about you.

Also, fuck off back to /tv/.

>>5966259
>The shit metaphor isn't just on /v/ now
Jesus Christ you can't possibly think refusal of food is the equivalent of refusal of literal shit. You sound like a giant dickhead that gets all defensive when you're called out on being a dickhead to people

I wonder how many picky eaters were encamped at Auschwitz?

>Nazi: "You haven't eaten in ten days. Do you want this bowl of broccoli?"
>Jew picky eater: "Eww, yuck. No thanks."

-Shit that never happened

>>5966262
>who the fuck buys things for themselves they don't like on purpose?
Masochists on /ck/ do, for fear that other assholes like themselves will go and complain on reddit about what a picky eater they were for not forcing themselves to eat food they aren't going to enjoy.

This bait ain't big enough for me to bite. Sorry, OP...

>Be me
>Absolutely detest zucchini
>Move in with two roommates, one of them does all the cooking, asks me what I do and don't like
>Tell her straight up I hate zucchini
>Everything she cooks she loads up with zucchini
>Scolds me like I'm a child when I pick it out (to my credit I usually eat it anyway)
>Is generally really condescending about the whole issue
The kicker
>Won't let anyone else cook their own dinner

If it wasn't her house I'd deep fry cheese to spite her.

I don't think people would take issue with picky eaters if they brought their own food and/or quietly picked out whatever they didn't want and would just shut up about things.

But it is goddamn infuriating when everyone has to have their plans changed or change dishes just because someone wants things different, these assholes need to learn that others are not obligated to cater to them.

>>5966405
>these assholes need to learn that others are not obligated to cater to them.
The irony is lost on you.

>>5966051
If you made such a scene that people had to argue with you and you got all pissy and had to come blog about it on 4chan, then the problem is you. You know the old "when everyone else around you is an asshole..." canard.

Society doesn't exist to cater to your every whim. If you're going to be excessively picky, it's on YOU to make the compromises. Either get with the program or stay home.

>>5966360

I didn't like zucchini (didn't dislike it either) for the longest time until I first had hibachi. Hibachi zucchini was so good, now I love the stuff. Better than cucumbers.

>>5966360
>>5966433
I really like the zucchini side dishes you get in korean restaurants. I also like it soups. I don't like it grilled.

>>5966413

Irony is only applicable if somehow the picker eater where the one to be preparing or planning the meal and the non-picker eater complained (although that's an oxymoron because that would make them a picky eater).

The reality is however that the picky eater is often someone who never has to make their own meals and is used to being generously accommodated, and will hold a group of peers evening hostage based on their limited pallet.

>>5966051
Did they find Madeline McCann?

>>5966051
My friends sister didn't like to eat anything but microwave popcorn and diet coke. So thats all she ate, because she's an adult and no one could tell her otherwise.

Now she's got some seriously fucked up medical conditions and her life is a living hell because she was a baby that wouldn't go for any variety, especially not any fruit or veg.

But hey, who are we to judge? She got what she asked for. The only problem now is to hear about her constant pain and suffering. Fuck that.

this

> I order my burgers without onion.
> I put onions aside when they are in large enough junks
Am I a picky eater?

>>5967024
No the people being referred to are more like:
>friend gives them a burger with onions
>"I won't eat that I hate onions"
>"Just pick them off, sorry"
>"you should have known I hated onions, I can't eat this."

Where is Sammy now?

>bring bf a delicious lamb schwarma wrap
>bitches and moans that it has tomatoes in it
>proceeds to pick apart entire wrap
>makes a big fucking mess
>'you know I don't like tomatoes'

If you had a severe allergies to tomatoes, I would make a conscious effort to find out if every item on the menu has tomatoes in it so I can ask them to omit it. But for him, it's a texture issue and he turns into a babbling baby when he encounters tomatoes in his food.

>>5967360
>he turns into a babbling baby

So if you know this, why do you keep giving him food with tomatoes in it?

>>5967368
This, tell him to get his own god damned food.
