/ck/ - Food & Cooking

It's cool that you have a made up disorder to explain why you have the palate of a child, but I recommend suicide.

>>6595341
>sensory processing disorder
when I was a kid we just called that gay

>>6595341
Try British cuisine, its pretty flavorless.

>>6595356
>>6595361
Guess I shouldn't have assumed /ck/ wouldn't be as awful as the rest of 4chan.

>>6595367
You just have shit taste, don't try to pretend it's a disorder. You are simply a fucking faggot.

>>6595381
Okay guy.

Try making this, OP.

could you try something like partially blended soups e.g. mild chowders to work your way up to a more complex texture and flavor? maybe also like tomato soup -> mild blended gazpacho -> less blended gazpacho with more flavorful ingredients


and hey maybe it's bs but whatever i'll treat it as a /ck/ brain exercise

>>6595341
Can you handle wraps and scrambled egg?
Try this if you can, and even add a little hot sauce.

>Can you handle wraps and scrambled egg?
Yeah, that's fine. I actually really like peppers and hot sauce too, so.

>>6595400
That sounds like a good idea, anon. I'll look into it. Thanks. And regardless of whether my particular diagnosis is bullshit, I need to get new food into my diet.

>>6595412
idk i've watched enough picky eater threads to know aversions to certain or new foods is a real thing and growing out of that is a big deal. a guy i have worked with for almost 3 years now was picky as fuck when he first got hired and now he comes to me and brags whenever he tries something new and fancy. if you can learn to overcome your issues you will be doing yourself a great service.

if you find you are interested in making your own soups/chowders and shit i recommend an immersion blender because they're neat

as far as anything else i would just look for foods you are already comfortable with and then ways to creatively modify them, adding more ingredients or perhaps preparing them in a different method that yields a slightly different texture. your examples of meat, potatoes, and bread all fall into that.

>>6595440
Thanks for the help anon. Took a screenshot of this for future reference. Maybe I can get started tomorrow.

>>6595367
It''s summer. Nowhere is safe.

>>6595341
Have you tried a tomato OP?

Does anyone have a gif of that woman who only ever eats cheesy fries? Where she tries to put a carrot or something in her mouth and starts retching, then bursts into tears?

It's funny and I lost it.

Okay, assholes aside, I feel you on this. My kid is autistic, and she can't handle too many flavors at once, or too many textures, so we have to work at it. I'm not so sure where your issues lie, but, I'll offer what I can.

Making homemade soups is pretty damn easy, so I'd say start there. Make broths with the meat and bones of your choosing, add mild spices - sourness and heat are two thing you want in you diet, so try to incorporate those somehow? Arab/Indian cooking might be a thing to look into - and make a LOT of it. Freeze what you don't eat for the day. Add breads with spiced/things baked into them, like cheese or red peppers (good as FUCK, ngl) and grilled chicken. Makes an alright dinner, but it is bland - though, y'know. That's sorta what you're going for. From then on, just graduate yourself with a little more spice and texture as you go.

I'm so fucking glad you're trying to get past it OP

I have a friend with the same problem who made zero effort and is in his thirties and only eats pizza and hot dogs, nothing else

good for you for working on it

Hey Op! I have sensory integration disorder. I too get easily overwhelmed by too much stimulation. For me, I am set off by movement, lights, and loud sounds. My balance is also effected. This makes walking around in an urban downtown area a dizzy Adair for me. I actually use a mobility dog when I am in such situations.
I also love strong favors, but I can't stand them for more than a few seconds.

This is probably one of the nicest, most productive threads on this fucking board, second to the canning thread.

If you want to make chicken that's mild and also subtly complex there's this recipe you can make in a toaster oven, if it's large enough.

Learn to spatchcock and you have instant oven roast chicken whenever you want.

>>6595367

You might want to consider that this board has the highest percentage of alcoholics of anywhere on the site. Dude is probably just drunk.

>>6595396

These are the sounds I made imagining tasting that.

Eat your salad like a big boy, throw some jalapenos on there.

>>6596087

Drunk is the ephemeris of stupid.

>>6595548
Thanks for the response.

>>6595807
Lights and sounds do it for me too. Thankfully my balance doesn't seem to be effected very much, but I know the feeling.

>>6596101
I would like to, but when I say uncontrollable gagging I mean uncontrollable gagging. Not "oh, I don't like this so I'm just going to avoid it."

>>6597376
This is the first time I have run into someone else with SID (or similar) on 4chan.

>>6597399
Me too actually. It was a lot worse when I was a kid, and I've gotten a lot better about a lot of things, but I still have one hell of a time with loud, bright, or fast-paced environments. Also when people decide to touch me without any warning and other miscellaneous things.

>>6595401
that looks fucking horrible

>>6597405
I also have an exaggerated startle response.

>>6595341
>I was diagnosed with sensory processing disorder.

me too

How are you with humidity/heat?

>>6595556
Yeah, I don't want to live like that. I may never be a very adventurous eater, but I can at least put in the work to make sure there's enough variety for my diet to be normal and healthy.

>>6595548
What are autistic girls like?

>>6595341

my son has this. he only likes plain foods. hates shit with a sauce or mixed up shit.

just eat your food in separate courses and don't put it all on the same plate if you can.

steak, mashed potatoes, broccoli, all separate, go

tfw you will never be a foodie but ironically you probably have amazing taste buds.

>>6597414
I don't have problems with heat/humidity, but I cannot stand cold air at all. In the summer I am often forced to carry a light jacket with me to the grocery, restaurants and movie theaters. It isn't just a mild discomfort, my skin gets painful.

>>6597592
I can't stand for my food to touch corn or green beans, so I usually put them in a small bowl on my plate. I only do this at home, I know it makes me look like a weirdo.

>>6597592
>tfw you will never be a foodie but ironically you probably have amazing taste buds.
My family used to poke fun at me for noticing small differences in the flavor of food, so I might.

>>6597724
I'm the opposite. I absolutely cannot stand heat/humidity. It's extremely uncomfortable. I absolutely love winter. No matter how cold it gets it never seems to bother me.

>>6595341
>For example, I am fine with most meats, potatoes, bread, green beans
>relatively "plain" foods
Nah, you're just a picky faggot.

>>6595412
>diagnosed with sensory processing disorder. tl;dr: I'm sensitive to taste and other senses
>relatively "plain" foods
>I actually really like peppers and hot sauce too
So what the fuck is "plain" in your book?

>>6595440
>being a picky faggot is a real thing and getting over it and growing up is a big deal

>>6595548
Maybe op has autism? They should see a professional.

>>6595341
I don't know what to tell you. While I've never heard of sensory processing disorder I recognize a fussy eater when I see one. Half of the people on my mother's side of the family are like you - they like totally Plain Jane foods. My mom was a senior citizen before she came around on things like eggplant and cumin. She still doesn't like foods with sauces. My grandfather, uncle, cousin and niece all have/had an aversion to onions. My brother didn't eat any green vegetables until he was in his 20's.

I wish you luck on trying to adjust your taste toward eating more than just meat, potatoes and plain vegetable side dishes. Knowing a bunch of people with similar shitty taste all I can say is put the time in. My brother managed to get over this kind of shit, but it took him years.

>>6598056
Another person with related issues here, I have trouble with heat and passing out as a result and light/sound sensitivity along with other problems.
If you notice an exacerbation of your symptoms when you sit/stand up then you should look into orthestatic intolerance disorders.

>>6595341

>I was diagnosed with sensory processing disorder
>gag uncontrollably when food has too complex a texture or flavor

So basically that's like autism in overdrive right?

>>6599430
Sensory integration disorders are often found in people on the autism spectrum. Basically your brain is magnifying the things your body is processing, and gets overwhelmed. Anxiety, dizziness, panic are often side effects of an overwelmed brain.
SID is a neurological disorder. It is not a psychiatric disorder.
