Anyone have any picky eater stories?

I was picky as shit when I was a kid, my parents used to make me sit at the table until I finished everything.

>One night they leave me alone
>there's a phone in the kitchen
>pick it up and call child services
>"My mommy and daddy hit me"
>Child Protective Services comes two days later
>still pissed at mom and dad I run to the agent and yell "TAKE ME AWAY THEY'RE MEAN"
>On the way out to the car, turn around and stick out my tongue at my parents
>Mom is weeping
>come back a week later
>never have to clean my plate again

So my dad was like this. Except if I didnt eat it, i couldn't leave the table and it would be breakfast, if I didnt Eat it then it was after school snack. If I didn't eat it by the time other dinner came around I got an ass whooping. I was such a little shit.
He always told me, if you TRY it and dont like it, you don't have to eat it. If you dont try it you cant leave table.

Now as an adult I love all food. Thanks pops.

OP's story is bullshit but whatever.

When I was a kid I was picky as fuck. Ate a lot of ramen. Didn't like burgers until I was 10 or so because the first time I tried one at McDonald's it had diced onions on it and the texture bothered me. I'd also only eat spaghetti with butter, salt and parmesan.

Parents just kind of went with it and never pushed anything onto me. I eventually got over it myself when I got older because being picky is embarrassing as fuck. Now I'll eat nearly anything.

I'm not very picky anymore, but I'm not sure I can thank them for it. Including children in the cooking process is probably a better angle, letting them taste each ingredient separately. And for god's sake, don't make a child eat soggy onion pieces the size of their palm and fucking "wok'ed" (slimy, half boiled) cucumber.

>> No.5318381

We had a thing of almost always having dessert after dinner. Not finishing what was on your plate meant no dessert. And we all know what kids are like with the promise of sweets.

Mind you, my mum could could fairly decently and my dad knew a few basic stir-fry dishes so I wasn't about to starve.

I'm not allergic to anything, nor do I shy away from eating anything.

I pity the poor fucking bastards with allergies/intolerances/pickiness.

I ate most foods as a kid, except canned tuna, because that shit smells gross.

I did have a friend though who would refuse to eat food if it wasn't just like how is parents made it. We have a running joke in my family about how one time he wouldn't eat an icecream sandwich because it wasn't "the right shape." Because it was rectangular instead of round.

He also required that all his fruit be sliced into bite sized pieces and if possible, skinned (like an apple).

His parents would catch him happily eating food that they thought he didn't like and go "Oh Robert honey, you dont like whole apples!" and then TAKE THE FUCKING FOOD FROM HIM TO PREP IT.

My mom stopped letting me hang out with him.

The only thing I really did when I was a kid was that I couldn't have anything on my plate touching each other. Nowadays I don't give a fuck and I eat everything together all the time. It's funny how things work out like that.

Yeah, and then there are the CPS nightmares where they completely destroy a family because they have the power to do it.

Google "Wenatchee witch hunt" for one.

Then there was the sister of a friend of mine, whose husband was a fucking retard and didn't want to put up childproof gates at the top of all of the staircases in his house because they were inconvenient and his toddler wasn't going to be dumb enough to fall down the stairs. Then when the toddler did, and bonked his head on the concrete floor of the basement and had to go to the ER to get looked at, the nurse called CPS because "it might be abuse". Six months of "evaluations" ensued for the happy young couple.

Although in fairness, said father WAS a fucking retard for refusing to put up those gates.

I was never a picky eater. I've had a fairly varied diet ever since I could remember. I grew up eating just about anything my mother put in front of me.

Having friends over for dinner was a pain in the ass. Everyone else thought my mothers food was weird. I knew kids that lived off chicken nuggets dipped in ketchup and french fries.

Seriously, me or my sisters friends would be practically dumbfounded by what we'd put in front of them. I'm talking kids that haven't had a slab of pork in there life or even heard of simple vegetables like asparagus.

As times gone on I'm actually much more of a picky eater now. Although picky isn't the right word. Infact I just know what I like now and how I like it.

I still eat generally everything you put in front of me.

Except for Tuna. Fuck tuna.

>> No.5320388

Went through a bread and butter or spaghetti noodles with butter phase. Parents didn't care as long as I was eating something because I was so skinny. Mom and dad refused to be short order cooks so if we didn't eat dinner, we got bread and butter instead and we were usually okay with that.

Ramen for me too. I used to it for school lunches uncooked. I started a fad, and tons of other people started doing it too.

I ate: American orange cheese, frozen hot dogs, ramen, macaroni and tomatoes, butter and pasta, pizza, and frozen pizzas from the store that cost .50$ each.

Never ate sandwiches. I've tried to eat them twice. One on a dare when I was 21, started gagging instantly. Again at 22 when I got high, friend bought me a mc chicken, gagged again, even harder.

My brother and I had alternating food hates. I hated mushrooms, he loved them, that kind of thing.

Most foods that I used to hate I'm now okay with, my parents were good, at least in one sense, that if I tried something a few times and still said no they'd wouldn't make me eat it. I ate most veg, so it wasn't hard to get me to eat.

My brother still has a thing about bones. It doesn't matter if it's tiny fish bones soft enough to eat or a giant bone in a drumstick, he won't eat meat with bones in unless he sits and picks it apart into tiny pieces on his plate. I can't eat with him, it drives me fucking mad.

He's not even autistic. He only has outbursts like this when we appease his pickiness (like another time when we were talking about making spaghetti for dinner and my mom mentioned that he didn't like spaghetti sauce so I offered to make alfredo instead, and my brother heard and flipped out).
