>Weevils
I am a pastry chef, who worked in a bread bakery for 6 years as well. If you are mixing your dough properly its just extra protein and much of the 'weevil' in your flour is already imperceptible to the eye, but if you are anal about it, it is just a matter of buying flour from the middle of the stack that is sold at a higher price. Cheap flour is probably min 15% weevil. I rarely cook rice and honestly don't care.
>Chicken and Pork
Due to the same belief I end up only eating it cut up in stir fry's, soups etc. Anything where you are cutting it into small pieces so its irrelevant how 'overcooked' it is.
I like beef though. I regularly eat Asado due to my background and steak's of various kinds. Usually prefer it a little pink in the middle with clear juices, and a little salt on the fat. Blue steak is a meme and anything more than medium, becomes hard to chew.
>Pasta
I hate any pasta that is not capellini. But weirdly there is this green, flat, long, spinach pasta I used to eat as a kid I cant find anymore that I love.

I refuse to eat pork from anywhere, bought by anyone, other than a family friend butcher that cuts up his own pigs in the shop because I believe it near impossible to tell if its human meat or not.
I will not eat chicken out either as I do not trust sanitation I am not in charge of or can verify.

If a potato starts growing those tentacle like things, I wear rubber gloves and cut that part of the potato off, then put it in the garburator along with the whole potato. Those things freak me out and I wear the gloves to protect my hands. I don't want to suddenly start sprouting tentacles like the potato does.

[Anonymous No.17209498]

>>17209471
>tentacles
Its literally just the potato stalk. You could cut each one off and plant them to grow your own potatoes. Don't eat them though because the stalk part is poisonous. The rest of the tater is safe to eat though.

If you buy those sacks of rice to make it yourself like all Indians do it's not schizo at all. You're basically guaranteed to end up with bugs.
If it's some processed and sealed Uncle Ben's microwave pouch type of rice though then it's unlikely you'll get insect infestations from that.

My mother left a pack of brown rice in the cupboard for about a year, eventually one day I opened our pantry and literally everything was swarming with weevils. One day they weren't there, the next they were. Was very frustrating to deal with, the actual pack of rice itself was completely rancid and had about as many weevils as grains of rice.

Never seen them before or since this, I guess don't keep brown rice for more than a few months.

I don't get fast food after sundown or on holidays, because I think the staff is more likely to tamper with my food out of frustration.

I don't use ketchup if the water comes out when I squirt it. I get a napkin and wipe if off and start over.

If I crack an egg and see anything except yolk and white I throw it away.

I refuse to finish the bottom part of any energy drink because of those stories of people finding dead rats in them, I think it's gross if I get "too close" too it.

I don't eat the rind on cheese because it freaks me out.

If I encounter any texture that should not be present while eating a meal I will throw the entire thing out.

If anything is in my fridge longer than three months I will throw it out regardless of use by date.

I only eat chicken beef and pork, all other meats are too "weird." Fish only from a can.

My city water started tasting weird lately and I can even smell it all over town, so I only drink bottled water now.

I unironically worry that any food anyone ever makes me is poisoned. I have to talk myself down internally before eating a meal I didn't prepare.

This is interesting because my autistic cousin once tried to poison our grandmother by adding fertilizer to her food, which he claimed he did because he thought it would help her grow. However, he also brought knives to school and threatened someone with them, so I am pretty sure he knew what he was doing. That is to say, are you also autistic? Or maybe a better question, have you ever been poisoned?

[Anonymous No.17215900]

>>17215855
I'm not autistic; my life is actually outwardly incredibly normal. I developed high anxiety postpartum, and I fixated on my diet and what was ending up in my breast milk, and then I became worried that I would eat something poisonous and my baby would get poisoned. My son's weaned, but the anxiety remains.

[Anonymous No.17215920]

>>17215900
Sounds like it could a form of OCD. Have you ever considered discussing this with a psychiatrist, as experiencing an anxiety response every time you need to eat a meal probably takes a toll on your health in other ways. It lines up pretty reasonably with your postpartum.
