Picky eaters

Are you annoyed by picky eaters?
Have you tried helping them? If so, how did they take it?

How picky are we talking?

People are certainly entitled to having foods they don't like, so I'm not quick to dive on people who say they don't like this or that.

My dad was a special needs teacher/carer when I was a kid. He basically forced a whole lot of autistic kids to eat properly, including one guy who was incredibly difficult about eating anything but chicken nuggets and buttered white bread.
I don't really get annoyed by picky eaters because it's not my problem, but I can't empathize with them at all. I'm the type to only be selective about what I provide, rather than what I recieve from others out of generosity.

This. I've been called picky when it comes to certain things like refusing to consume Aunt Jemima's "maple syrup" instead of the real stuff. Does that make me picky? I don't think so because I was raised on actual maple syrup and not that corn syrup shit.

That's not pickiness, that's snobbery. Similar and easy to get confused but distinctly different.

[Anonymous No.5221250]

My mother was old fashioned and did the "if you don't finish your meal, you don't leave the table" sort. I'll pretty much eat anything now because of that.

It does come in handy if you say, want to order food to share, you can just say get whatever you want i'll eat it. Hell because of that i've tried a large variety of food i would of thought disgusting because i was always forced to try new things.

As for picky eaters, fuck them.

my mother took the, "fine, you don't have to eat it, but you're not getting anything else" approach. worked out to the same effect, i'll eat pretty much anything (although i don't think i was ever too picky to begin with)

i know some people who try to use dessert to coerce their kids into eating certain foods, and i think that practice is fucking retarded, because then the kid comes to expect some goddamn ice cream or some shit after every meal. and that's how they become fat, and likely no less picky.

[Anonymous No.5221288]

I've found that most fussy eaters either haven't tried the thing they don't like, or have had it made badly.

For example, loads of people hate brussel sprouts. Usually because their only experience with them are the horrible boiled-to-hell-and-back christmas dinner monsters. Rub some salt on those motherfuckers, put them in a dish with a little oil and some rosemary, stick them under a grill, take them out when the edges start to blacken. God-fuckin-tier.

i'm not a picky eater, but this definitely plays a huge part, i think. i used to fucking hate spinach until i realized it was just the frozen stuff cooked to death. now i'll cook and eat a whole bag of the fresh stuff with some garlic and lemon juice. shit's good man.

Fuck yes i used to have the old fashioned boiled-to-death brussel sprouts and spinach. Later i found if either were properly cooked they were fucking delicious. Worst thing my old lady used to do was boil asparagus. Later i learned that it just boiled out all the nutrients and i learned to properly cook them later.

Childhood hated veggies turned into my favorite foods.

Why do picky eaters even exist? Why do they try so hard to live? How can they be proud of refusing to eat food, like a little kid?

[Anonymous No.5221337]

I was forced to not be picky like the above anons. Parents had a very strict "can't leave the table" or "nothing else until it's gone" rule. I always had an aversion to onions, but I later found out (after getting sick tons of times) that it is from an allergy.

My partner is really picky about silly shit. Won't eat broccoli, steamed or not. Won't touch warm tomatoes (but will eat tomato sauces and anything with tinned tomatoes? will also eat a burger or warm sandwich that warms tomatoes?) Doesn't like tuna, fresh or canned. Actually does most of the cooking because I feel like a lot of my poor kid meals don't fit around their food dislikes. They do try everything once instead of assuming so I'll give them that.

[Anonymous No.5221344]

When I was a kid I hated a lot of foods, but my parents never enabled that. I just sucked it up, now I don't hate foods.

[Anonymous No.5221350]

I have found that most do it simply from being spoiled. They were never forced to eat the items and over indulged on things they did like. That all being said there are some items a person can honestly dislike. I will eat just about anything without batting an eye. For some reason though I cannot stand black eyed peas. I can barely stand them even if they are absolutely hidden inside a dish. I live in the South so I know how they can be prepared right and have had it and it doesn't matter.

I'll eat anything but seafood of any sort

Dunno if that's picky, but whatever

[Anonymous No.5221403]

I just wrote this in another thread, but a friend of mine is a picky eater. He can basically only eat the foods he used to eat as a kid: pepperoni pizza, plain burger with nothing on it, plain french fries, shrimp fried rice, blue box mac'n'cheese, kellogg brand corn flakes, apple pie, chocolate chip cookies, or spaghetti with plain marinara. Nothing can be too spicy or have foreign ingredients in it. Like a hamburger made with onion chunks in it, or if the apple pie has currants or something in it. He doesn't like sauce. He can't deal with anything like thai, greek, indian, mexican, etc.. He can't eat chicken or pork of any kind, or meat that isn't ground, unless it's pepperoni.

He's definitely ashamed of it and hates it, it makes it awkward for him in social situations and he's already an awkward dude. I give him a lot of shit for it and it strains our relationship. Basically it's just an eating disorder, he had a fucked-up childhood and he's a severe depression/anxiety case. As am I, if that sounds harsh, my shit just doesn't manifest in my diet.

He says he'll just throw up if he has to eat something he can't palate, and I've seen him make involuntary faces when he was trying to stomach some (delicious and fragrant) spiced meat from a greek place.

We're going to live together soon as roomies and I have fantasies of trying to force his diet open before he dies of constipation or scurvy or something. I know it's got to be some psychological bullshit, because I've seen him wolf down veggies in fried rice, but he wouldn't touch them in a stir fry even if they were prepared exactly the same.

I want to fix it...

It's gonna end our friendship.

My sister was pretty bad with most vegetables when she was young. Our mother tolerated us not liking some foods, but we definitely had to eat our vegetables.

Her threat to my sister was always 'if you don't eat it now I'm going to serve it to you for lunch' and the one time my sister got all haughty and threw a fit over eating her vegetables, mum really did give her the very same plate of food for lunch. It was hilarious actually. She had just covered it and stuck it in the fridge and served it up exactly as it had been.

Well, she only had to do that once.

i was a horrible picky eater as a kid. the only vegetables i ate were mushrooms and cauliflower with cheese, the only meat i ate were breakfast sausages, bacon and burger king's (specifically) chicken tenders. i would eat a can of spaghetti-o's at dinner despite whatever my mom had cooked, or only eat the beans out of the chili, or tear the skin off of fried chicken. anything having to do with eggs that wasn't a cake, nope. fish, nope nope nope. milk, chocolate or NOPE. no fruit except sugar-coated strawberries.

oddly enough i developed an eating disorder because my mom was super neurotic around food and my dad was a judgmental asshole and throughout the course of it, i learned to like all of the foods i wouldn't touch before. i mean when you're bulimic you eat a LOT of food and eventually you get tired of the same thing and need as much variety as possible. well, i did anyway.

[Anonymous No.5222046]

I'm snobbish about trying and actually liking most foods out there. I like to try new foods all the time because if other people eat it, it will most likely be very good. So I can't understand how some people say "this whole cuisine is awful" because a whole country eats it not out of necessity usually but because they enjoy it. It's even worse when they don't like one of the great world cuisines like Chinese food, hell I even know one person who doesn't like all Asian food.

My cousin though, he grew up in a place where he never tried sea food except fish here or there until he was 18. He came to visit me and we went to eat some mussels(among other things) and he spit it out after trying. I can kinda understand not being used to it but he's a very picky eater to begin with actually so I tried to convince him otherwise when it comes to seafood but I think he still wouldn't eat it. I think people who grew up only eating one type of food are more likely to be picky eaters, if you're introduced to different flavors early on in life it's easier to enjoy new ones later on.

I know a guy who says he has a phobia of trying new foods. Like, an actual phobia. He won't drink water or alcohol or basically anything other than Coke et al, and pretty much only eats chips with ketchup, pancakes, chocolate, potatoes, and chicken nuggets.

I've got a couple picky eater stories - myself, and my boyfriend.

I used to be a huge picky eater, and basically started cooking to help stop that and figure out how to get more varied nutrition. I knew I wasn't getting enough greens but I couldn't eat almost any green veggies that weren't raw broccoli, so I started trying to hide spinach into my food so I wouldn't notice it and get a bit more nutrition. I'm still a fairly picky eater but I've gotten better since I started cooking (I feel guilty if I don't try really hard to eat something I cook) and since I've started drinking coffee and wine, which helped me have an appreciation for flavors and things I thought were "weird" (dry pastries with coffee, weird cheeses and spices with wine).

My boyfriend is almost the king of picky eating though. He's got allergies (to fish, not shellfish, and nuts), but he's still pretty bad about things that are unrelated. Any time he's given a piece of meat that need to be cut it has to have some sort of sauce on it, with sugar and acidity (a1 for steaks, one specific brand of bbq sauce for these frozen fried chicken things he warms in the oven, "orange sauce" (catalina dressing) for frozen chicken that's not breaded and fried), won't eat most veggies on its own. His typical diet is like, pizza (he works at domino's), taco bell, and warming up chicken fingers in the oven, and microwaving refried beans. Sometimes he'll eat a bastardization of pasta, on special occasions, by making the chewiest linguine and covering it in store bought pasta sauce, nothing else on it. Awful.

He won't eat at any restaurant whatsoever except for a specific two (a local wing place that sometimes he goes to for two meals a day, and a kind of shitty mexican place) since his dad accidentally gave him a peanut butter cookie a couple years ago and he had to go to the ER. I was with him when he realized that he's not comfortable with these things - story incoming.

Onions give me a really bad headache for the whole day if I eat raw ones. I think I have a hard time digesting raw onions and so what happens is they linger in the stomach to the point where I get a really bad flavor in my mouth and then a headache which sometimes lasts for a whole day.

I still eat way too many raw onions, sometimes I can't help myself cause I don't mind the flavor even though I associate it now with feeling shitty.

cont
This was a couple weeks after the cookie incident, and he was just starting to show that he had serious issues.
He drove me to ruby tuesday and didn't order anything from there. I ate my food, something specifically that he wasn't allergic to (we asked the waitress, and she checked to make sure it was fine - I always do this because he won't kiss me if I've eaten something he can't) and he was reallly quiet and kind of curled up and staring at the table right in front of him. When I tried to ask him if he was okay he talked too quietly for me to hear. I scooted over to his seat to put my hand on his shoulder (having his shoulder and head rubbed usually helps him talk if he's not feeling well) and he was shaking, and started shaking harder when I touched him and started hugging him (he said it wasn't because he was anxious about me touching him, I think the touching distracted him from trying not to shake?). I paid the bill and drove him to the E.R.

This was the first E.R. visit for panic attacks that he had since he accidentally ate that cookie, of many. He started going to the E.R. for panic attacks pertaining to eating food around 2 to 4 times a week until they made him take a shitload of xanax every two hours.

That was a couple years ago. These days, he'll sit in other restaurants. I was so proud of him when he sat in a ramen restaurant with myself and a friend while we ate (I figured they probably used fish in the restaurant, so I was so excited to find out they don't have any fish whatsoever in the entire store - but their broths have fucking peanut butter in them. Wtf?) and didn't freak out, but I tried to get him to eat fried oreos at the one wing place he eats at all the time and it took him half an hour of looking at it and his hands trembling to eat it. (fried foods are a point of worry for him - peanut oil is popular for frying things sometimes and if they fry fish it uses in the same oil potentially)

Even before the cookie incident, he had always been kind of a picky eater in a regular sense beyond his allergies. He likes his food salty, or sweet and tangy. Doesn't like complex flavors or interesting textures. At the one restaurant he really likes, the wing place, even before he started having anxiety at restaurants, he ordered the same thing every single time for the past 10 years (911 wings with extra sauce on the side, no celery, glass of water, they put in the order as soon as they see him walk in). Never tries a different sauce or anything. His family recently had a couple nice dinners at restaurants for his sister's engagement and he ate at it but he complained about how much he didn't like it - they were both like local, fresh, fine dining type dealies that like to use interesting ingrediants, so as much as he ordered a chicken salad thing, it had a bunch of spices he wasn't used to and the lettuce wasn't iceburg and they didn't have ranch dressing.

It's hard. I'm learning more and more about cooking and food every day, especially since I started studying wine, and I don't have anyone to share it with.

Oh, also, he won't drink alcohol period. None whatsoever.

He was in therapy and was medicated. you can't become a regular at the E.R. for psych issues without going into therapy, lol. The best part was he was under 21 but still over 18 so he had to go into the pediatric ward for kids and all the kid nurses there knew him. Grown ass man made to sit in his underwear in a room with mickey mouse stickers and pink blankets everywhere.

He is also a regular piss baby who can't eat regular food though. You can tell when he's having panic attacks and when he's just not into the food, and he'll admit that too. Out of everyone I'm probably the most aware of his issues and it's like, talking about the nice dinners he had to go to recently was like How was the restaurant?" "It was... it was good." "Did anyone get anything you couldn't have?" "No, no, it was fine, everything was fine." (so he didn't flip out or have anxiety problems, tone of conversation changes to be more relaxed) "What did you have?" "I had a chicken salad..." "How was it?" "It was awful, blah blah blah, I hate fine dining, it tasted weird..." (now he's being a picky eater piss baby who can't eat something his mommy didn't make him)

I love vegetables and most foods, but things mentioned above will actually make me gag, or at least make me feel nauseated. I'm also one of those people who doesn't really like the taste of cilantro, but that's not a deal breaker at all, it's just overpowering if there's too much fresh cilantro on a dish.

-Oranges (See pineapple)
-Chicory salad

When I was younger ( around 14ish) I used to be a pretty fussy eater. I had a big list of stuff I wouldn't eat, some of that was; raw tomatoes, humous, feta, avocado, pickle, fish, meat on the bone, skin aside from pork crackling, anything with a homogenous texture and not a lot of flavour. However I then got over it and some of those foods are now among my favourites. I just forced myself to eat the foods I didn't like until I stopped disliking them.

No, your sushi chef was a bad person. Raw yellowtail has the same texture as any other sushi fish (salmon, fatty tuna, etc). Closest would be Chu-toro i guess.

You probably had bad yellowtail or some random fish they claimed was yellow tail.

Go to an expensive sushi place where its like $6.50 for 1 order of sushi, and get Yellowtail Belly. Trust me, you'll never hate yellowtail again.

I always thought I was picky when it came to food, because I grew to absolutely loathe peppers and olives and associated the other vegetables along with them.

Only thing I really grew out of hating that I can think of are olives, as a kid I spit them out instantly, nowadays they still aren't my favourite fruit but now I'd describe them more with "interesting" or "exotic" and they're good on a pizza every now and then
Still don't like smoked salmon and bacon.
Oh, and call me pussy all you want, but I have very low capsaicin tolerance. A single drop of tabasco can ruin an entire pizza for me. Dad is the exact opposite, he's even using 1M SCU sauces (therefore consisting of 6.25% pure fucking capsaicin). To me it just obscures natural flavour and makes anything just taste like hot.

On a side note, why does everyone love broccoli and Brussels sprouts so much here? I mean they're acceptable 6/10 tier for me and I never hated them as a child either, but IMO cauliflower and kohlrabi are way superior cabbages

>>5221325
Well, we're living in an age of abundance, we have the possibility to simply not eat what we don't like and eat something else instead, making it harder to acquire taste and the cycle repeats

>I have a problem with eating raw tomatoes
Kinda similar here, I mean it's not that bad for me, they don't make me gag or anything like that and I can eat them easily, but I don't really like the texture that much (so all in all it's a 4/10 experience). But in sauces like bolognese I absolutely love them

onions have a quite distinct and strong taste, and from childhood, they would make me gag, even if it was just a part of processed meat, where other people would claim that there was none/they couldn't taste it.
i've learned to eat that kind of onion relate product, but fresh, or chunky onions are still reflex gag, sometimes even before it gets in my mouth. i got a moderate tollerance for other spicy stuff like paprika, peppers & chillies. leeks and onions are still things i avoid if i can.

I was a picky eater as a child. I ate pretty much nothing but buttered noodles, grilled cheese, etc.

But somewhere along the line I learned about nutrition and decided that I should stop being such a bitch and eat a more diverse selection of foods. I now eat pretty much all meats, vegetables, whatever. I'm a huge fan of ethnic foods and can stomach pretty much everything, even foods I still hate the taste of like asparagus and raw tomatoes and bell peppers. My philosophy is that if I don't like something, there's probably still a cooking method or ingredient combination that I will like it in. I mean, within reason. I don't think I'll be eating certain delicacies anytime soon.

But yeah, I'm a fucking full grown man, it'd be downright shameful to not eat my veggies. There's plenty that I actually fucking enjoy now, it's insane.

So I really feel bad for people who are too picky to grow up and eat more things. A lot of people insist to me that it's completely reflexive and they simply CANNOT do something or they will vomit, but there's plenty of supposed treatments for conditions such as that and I still say you're just being a little bitch if you haven't so much as TRIED one of them to see if you can cure your condition. It's for your own good.

I'm pretty tolerant of them and willing to work with them, given that I used to be pretty picky. I find for most people it's a bad experience thing.
My family was pretty awful at cooking (drenching everything they made in too much olive oil, overcooking or undercooking most things, serving food that had long gone bad, etc.) so I grew up associating a lot of foods with illness or really foul tastes.
Once I was old enough to cook I started pushing myself to gradually grow to like a much wider variety of foods.

Picky eating, except in very severe cases where it stems from extreme psychological issues, can generally be fixed by coaxing the picky eater to try new foods, a little bit at a time, until they become accustomed to it.

I'm not a picky eater by any means. Growing up in a rough little town in the UK meant I ate a lot of cheap shit tier foods. But I also had a lot of really nice, hearty home made meals. As a kid however there was one meal I could never eat, I hated it. My parents used to cook carbonara often, but when they decided we where not going to eat jar sauces any more (was a good change for the most part) they changed the carbonara recipe immensely. Now instead of pasta and ham in a thick creamy sauce my parents would add a sort of egg mixture. It was rubbery and had no flavour as they wouldn't add salt only pepper. Me not liking this sickening rubbery mess got me labelled as picky and ungrateful. It still pisses me off. I'd eat all the meals, even the cheaper ones like Spam or beans on toast. But they would shit on me for not liking this one meal.
I think it's because it was a home made recipe. But still, bad food is bad.

I actually feel really sorry for picky eaters, the ones that actually try foods and just can't seem to enjoy them. I could only name a handful of foods I didn't enjoy as a kid, and now I literally can't name a single food I don't like. Of course I have my favorites and my preferences, but I could eat just about anything. I eat a very varied diet, too. I'm fortunate enough to be an excellent cook (at least everyone says so), and my entire family is great at cooking in a variety of styles and using their own combination of spices and flavors, so I do have that advantage. My brother makes me really angry, refuses to try new foods and won't touch anything besides fast food, boxed meals, packaged Ramen and Mountain Dew. Makes me feel like he's an ungrateful little shit considering he's lucky enough to have had an excellent upbringing food-wise. Those are the types of picky eaters I wish would just die.

So did mine, not that she actually had any trouble with me. Other than shellfish for a while (because I got a really bad flu the night after eating some shrimp dish when I was little and associated the two I guess, until I was about 18 just the smell of shellfish made me feel sick), there was never really anything much I really didn't like. I have two brothers though and they definitely needed that tactic sometimes.

>>5221288
>or have had it made badly
I think this is definitely a contributing factor in a lot of cases. My mum and grandma are both awesome cooks so I got to have a lot of 'confidence' I guess when it comes to trying new food, because most of the stuff I tried at home was good. If you grow up in a situation where a lot of the food you try is shitty, I think it'd be a lot harder to try new stuff because you'd have sort of a subconscious expectation for it to be shit. Same goes for particular foods you've had experiences with where they were cooked horribly.

Force them to.

Had niece and nephew over one night, nephew wouldn't eat dinner(burgers, potato salad, etc). Niece finished up and went to play some games before bath/bed. Nephew flat-out refused to eat and wanted to go play instead.
He finished his dinner at about 11pm after sitting there for 6 hours and whining and crying and yada yada. Still made the little shit take a bath and then go to bed.
Woke him up the same time as his sister(7am) for breakfast(scrambled eggs, toast, bacon) and he was saying he wasn't hungry and he wanted to go back to sleep. I asked him what happened last night when he didn't want to eat and he ended up finishing his food about 10 minutes later and never had a problem with it again.

Personally I'll try anything, one thing I really can't do though, raw onions, if I bite into them nope...just nope can't do that. If they're so small I don't crunch into them I'm fine. It just kills my tastes buds man. And I don't understand how people can just munch on em in their meals and fine, shrugs I loved cooked onions specially grilled.

Vegans are the worst picky eaters, I've given up hope on them.

I was raised on absolute shit food. Still getting over that, I seem to be improving my palette. This also seems to make me more and more annoyed by picky eaters.

What sort of fucking awful bars have you frequented?

Yeah, I hate health-conscious people. Just get cancer with me, assholes.

[Anonymous No.5232022]

They're pretty annoying to me but it was mostly because how I was raised. If didn't eat what was cooked I didn't eat at all.

[Anonymous No.5232036]

Eggs, they are awful in every form.

I was a terrible picky eater as a kid. It turns out that I'm allergic to pepper, cinnamon, maple, and sulfates. In addition margarine in any regular amount fucks up my digestion. After cutting those things out of my diet I realized that I was a picky eater because I was sick 99% of the time. The first 20 years of my life I didn't know what feeling good even felt like. Now I'll eat anything that isn't those things and try anything I think may not have them at least once. ( Not Pepper though, that shit could kill me. )

My father still complains that I'm a picky eater when we eat out. The truth is I bitch at him because he only wants to eat at American buffets; if you cook for him he'll bitch and go out to eat if its any meal his mother didn't cook when he was a child. "Dad, you are the real picky eater." I tell him.
"No," he says, "I like to eat all the foods so we're going to the buffet, and when we get their I'll eat more then you."
"Okay, let's go to a Chinese buffet then."
Of course he won't, 'he's not Chinese.'

I tell people I don't like mexican, I get called picky. Really depends, I can eat any other food fine and am quite adventurous, but not mexican.

I have a friend who says that they'll never eat mushrooms because, and I quote "are fungi."

And then they eat cream of mushroom soup, which has bits of mushroom in it clear as day.

I'm not sure if I should call them out on it...

Maybe they mean the dislike the texture? I LOVE mushrooms but have a very strong preference to have then sliced thin or diced.

my nephew tried this with my mom and I thought he was going to get away with it with the whole "mah grandbaby" thing

but nope

He sat there moaning and crying and she didn't give a shit. At a point she just slapped him in the back of the head every time he cried, staring at his veggies (she'd made a pretty good stew with meat and carrots/potatos/etc and he'd picked around the veggies and she wasn't having it), whimpering all night till she said fine, made him go get a belt, smacked him real quick, then next morning put the same shit right in front of him for breakfast with some eggs and it began again until lunch when he just gave up crying and eating.

He's like 9 though and spoiled by his mother on junk food and jack and the box. His dad, my bro, was pretty embarrassed but it's all he can do with what little time he gets with him.

Mom took no shit with pickiness. The only way I got out of it ever was by saying I'd eat in my room with no complaint and then just open the window and give the food to the dog. Then wait till there was no more food and make myself a sandwich saying I was still hungry but everyone all the seconds first. Like you I was picky about beans for a while but got over it long ago.

I've never understood this. Even the glorified morels, chanterelles, ceps, etc. are rather boring from a taste and textural perspective.

lol great mom

Let me guess: high school education, blue collar, and concerned only with the immediate future or polarizing populist nonsense? Please tell me she is overweight too.

[Anonymous No.5232425]

>>5232416
well sorry for being poor

but not really immediate future, bs political, nor overweight oddly considering her sisters. She always thought of the future and has good two houses for when she dies to give to us and hates credit.

And really she only ever slapped on the back of the head or pinched if you were acting up. Otherwise would just make us work for punishment. Only spanked cause he was cussing and throwing a real bad tantrum on the floor and throwing shit. I was never spanked though saw another bro get it because he threw something out the window in anger.

She's pretty ok mom considering none of us are fucked up or hate her. You project a lot.

I was never really too bad in terms of pickiness; when I was a kid, I took issue with cooked carrots and broccoli because I'd never had well-prepared ones. I still won't eat mayonnaise, sour cream, or super-fatty salad dressings; the texture is just disturbing for some reason. Now I'm at a point where I'll try basically anything once. I've noticed a shift in my palate within the past few years toward enjoying very bold flavors and dishes with more taste interplay, whereas before I tended to prefer less complex stuff.

Mostly green onions but white onions aren't too cool with me either. When I say onions I mean medium to large pieces of onions. Finely diced or used for flavouring I can eat no problem.

Maybe you are washing them? Or maybe you want big BIG taste from eating super sweat and super spicy stuff all the time? Mushrooms have a very nice warm earthy taste.

Oh noes! She must be uneducated, stupid, AND fat.
She sounds like a great mom to me. I bet that kid looks back on that event fondly when he's an adult.
