Well, it's seen as a "grown-up" thing to do.

I used to be like this up until the last 2 or so years. Part of it was realizing that a lot of foods I thought were awful was just that my parents were shitty cooks.

I still have yet to start eating fish or seafood though. I don't know why but the idea of eating a fish is gross to me.

Try fried fish and seafood and salmon/tuna to ease yourself into it, there are problably more "not as fishy" fishes but those two are common where I'm from. I used to love fish as a kid and then disliked it in my teens, now I'm a fully grown faggot and I eat any fish.

I eat the same few things every single day, though for reasons not at all like OP's. I don't care about presentation, I think most food is garbage, and I likely won't ever use most of the ideas here.

I mainly came to find new recipes that would be viable and learn a bit about cooking practices. When I realized /ck/ was as shit or worse than most other boards, I stayed for arguments about biochemistry and to passively inject philosophy into threads where I think it belongs. I still hope I'll find something worthwhile to this very instant beyond the cheap dopamine spike of discussing and watching topics people tend to get all riled in.

My father in law is the same way. He's not even a picky eater otherwise, but the taste of an onion can ruin anything for him. It's not even like he's blowing it up for attention, he really just can't take it.

I understand, I have that problem too, but with chocolate. It turns my stomach. The oil in my mouth gets all dry, my throat gets hot, I want to puke and I can't drink enough water. It's such an intense dislike I can't really explain it any other way.

It's not an offensive flavor. For example, I love beef jerky, deer jerky, etc, but sometimes when I eat beef jerky it makes me feel like throwing up.

For onions, I don't love or hate them, I don't mind their taste or texture, but they make me feel weirdly sick whenever I can even mildly taste them. And unlike jerky, it happens without fail, every time I taste them.

Also I just avoid dishes altogether whenever I see the word onion in them. Sometimes that doesn't work and it's unavoidable.

Bean sprouts, shellfish, mushrooms and cheese are my four major food turnoffs. Bean sprouts are a mystery because I'll only eat them if they're fresh and crunchy and not disgustingly mushy, while the other two are weirdly chewy. Cheese is only used in 'foreign' cuisine so it doesn't matter that much.
I'd pretty much eat anything else, though.
