What's your worst experience with a picky eater?

>10th grade and going on a class trip to Trondheim, Norway
>The class will eat dinner at a restaurant called Egon, which makes pretty good food
>Obese friend that only eats spaghetti says she's skeptical about the restaurants food
>Everyone in the squad in fucking tired of her complaining
>We arrive at the restaurant
>She had preordered steak with spinage on the side
>She gets the food
>Looks strangely at the food, as if she's unhappy
>Takes a bite
>"Nope, I don't like this steak!"
>Takes a bite of the spinage
>"Nope, don't like this either! Disgusting!"
>Sits by the table looking like an disappointed and sad 5 year old
>Everyone thinks she's being super childish, I mean come on, she's 16 years old
>She leaves the restaurant and orders chinese food alone

Growing up with two picky siblings and a mother who catered to them. Man, the food at my house was bland and boring because this one didn't eat these things and that one didn't eat those. Fucked up mom's cooking real good.

On my year abroad in Japan, a girl in my program would not eat vegetables at all. For an entire year. She'd also be picky about Japanese things in general. We'd have occasional forced program dinners and she was a hastle most of the time.

My father in law refuses to eat vegetables of any kind. Mostly he eats things like frozen pizza, nuggets, macaroni (Kraft), etc. And steak (as plain as can be). If the food at any point touched vegetables, he won't eat it.

Cooked something with garlic? Won't eat it.

Put some onions in that lasagna? Won't eat it. Doesn't even like homemade sauce--only the blandest store bought "red sauce" (guess red is more removed from tomatoes).

Side salad? Out of the question.

He's a man-child, pure and simple.

I like plain foods. Nothing spicy. Nothing exotic. Very few extras. So like while eating a burger, I'll just want the meat, buns and maybe cheese. While eating tuna, I don't want tomatoes, lettuce or celery in it. Shit like that.

But like I said, if I'm out with people and I order a tuna sandwich and it came back with celery and lettuce, I wouldn't act like Mr. Autismo and refuse to eat it.

Judging from the replies it seems like vegetables is a common hang-up for picky eaters. I wish their parents had beat the fuck out of them for literally not eating their veggies as kids.

To be honest there are a few barriers to eating seafood compared with other food. Here it has to be shipped from the coast, and most of the time it fucks up a bit in the road. I mean, nothing unfixable but the chances to get sick for some reason are quite high. Add that to general disgust for the sea smell, and there you go!

Not to dissaprove your rant, but beating kids actually has the reverse result. Yeah, maybe beating them for not even wanting to try it seeems reasonable, but beating them everytime you cook X food creates negative feedback, not craving for that food. Of course, you can keep promoting corporal punishment if you want, but hear me out and try alternatives that wont scar kids for life.

Well, vanilloid receptors tend to vary a lot between people, so what you feel as mild, she feels like a goddamn volcano. It can be improved but that takes eating progresively more spicy food, and that in turn takes time and dedication most people don't want to invest. I'm the same so I don't blame her

not that anon, but i tried this kind of stuff and now i just feel ill seeing the foods i tried this with bc i associate them with how gross they were the first time i tried them
What I did that helped was that I took foods I knew I could prepare similarly to foods I like, and then I prepared them that way until I actually liked the result, and then I'd move a little bit further away until I was making unique dishes that highlighted the food, which expanded my palette
For example, for tofu I started with General Tso's Tofu, then made Mapo Tofu (where the texture and taste is a little more on display), then i tried a cold teriyaki baked tofu with salad, and now i like eating silken tofu. It was important for me to try to learn to like the taste before i tried to tolerate the texture, but for some foods it can be the opposite.
learning to season foods for your tastes can also make a lot of things way more palatable. i almost always ignore seasoning instructions on recipes when i make food for just me.

Sounds like me desu, it's an actual disorder and is more than an unwillingness. I have sat out from things in the past out of a desire to avoid causing problems with my diet. I generally try to not cause problems for people though, opting to sit out of something entirely over having people cater to me specifically when I have to attend something. I can relate to where she's coming from but there's a difference between not eating the things and demanding that you be catered to. Plus if it were me, I would probably not take up the offer if it had such requirements surrounding food.

I went on this group tour of europe with some other kids

This one restaurant we went to in france premade this giant order of soup for us as we were scheduled to stop there by our guide. The soup I don't remember what but it had mushrooms and there was this one girl who was your typical spoiled-brat and she refused to eat the soup since it had muchrooms in, the chefs came out and yelled at our guide for 20 minutes arguing in french and then they remade everyones soup with no mushrooms. I just remember being really upset because I wanted mushrooms in mine.

I don't even know why she came with us she was the biggest baby, absolutely refused to eat anything more than literal white bread and butter through most of the trip, didn't even eat her soup sans mushrooms in france after having a hissy fit about her hating mushrooms, literally cried everyday because she missed her mom and was super pissy the entire trip.

She pulled that shit all the time. She would order things mainly composed of ingredients she refused to eat and then would pick/scrape at her food until it was "acceptable." In addition to mushrooms, most sauces, and anything unsweetened, she refused to eat: tomatoes, pickles, onions, garlic, eggs, all seafood, most cheeses... She basically subsisted on a diet of sugar, milk, fried food, white bread, and alcohol.

When I was a kid I hated onions. The taste was too strong for me. Tell my mom I don't like them, she all "like hell I'm going to cook without onions anon." Instead she cut them into big pieces so I could pick them out. I realized later on that I liked the flavor of onions, but it was too intense in large pieces, so mom cut them super small so they blended into the food. Problem solved forever. Now I eat at least one onion a day. Thanks mom.

I used to be like this when I was a little kid, looking back, I feel really bad for my parents, who were diverse and technically excellent amateur cooks.

Look, you have to get yourself into cooking. Start watching Good Eats, Iron Chef, any cooking show that talks about ingredients, where they come from and their versatility in the kitchen in many different kinds of dishes. I discovered that I hated brocolli and cabbage as a kid because when cooked a certain way, it smells like sulfur (rotten eggs) and although my parents never cooked broccoli that way, others did like the cafeteria, and I grew to resent it. When I asked my parents about it in high school, they responded with making me stir fry beef and broccoli and I started to like broccoli and cabbage. I am now a relatively adventurous eater and I got into cooking a lot of food from different countries. You have to wrap your head around where an ingredient or food comes from, how it may be prepared at home or even industrially, (watch some How It's Made on youtube, here's a playlist https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLfCk374GUQIj46VRW-dydG0TsFdv3QgBr ) and you will soon understand what makes you tick. Once you understand more about food and how to cook , you will naturally start branching out on your own. It'll probably take a year or two, but you can do it. If you can't, well, consider suicide.

The best way is to just man up and eat things you're not used to eating.

The easiest is to combine items you're not used to eating with ones you are and take it from there.

There is far too much women hate on this website, I used to be a little like that.

I resented women because they weren't interested in me, then I grew up started working out and they took an interest.

Seems to me that there are plenty of people here who never grew out of it and their resentment only grew. I can't think of a single other reason as to why that post attracted such hate.

I can see that. From what I was told his dad learned while being in the army. Liked to cook so much he did it after Vietnam, just going place to place. His dad met his mom and they got married. Wish I could I've met him he sounded nice. I'm just glad we don't cook for them when they stop by, the amount we pay in tips at restaurants pails in comparison to the stressbof having them over.

I've tried eating tomatoes, home grown/from market that the whole family praise and zuchinni at least 30 times + in last 2 years. Everytime I have a chance I try them and hope for a miracle, but it ends with the same result = I don't like it.

However, I don't have problem with stuff like broccoli etc.. I eat almost everything. But tomatoes and zuchinni, holy shit..

I'm the same. I don't normally like salad but I got one the other day with my meal at a Japanese restaurant. It wasn't a lot and it was mostly lettuce so I thought I could handle it. Ironically, I cared for the dressing much less than the lettuce. It was an orange dressing although I don't believe it was French dressing.

That reminds me of my friend a little bit. When we were in high school, every day, he'd only have a Coke at lunch. I always asked him what he ate at home and he never gave a serious answer.

When his mom called my mom to RSVP for my graduation party (He was a year below me, Junior when I was a Senior), they got to talking and my mom ended up telling me he had Asperger's which, due to being a branch of Autism, can cause sensory issues.

The guy only ate, like, Froot Loops, Oreo's, Chips Ahoy, movie theatre popcorn, and drank Coke and stuff. It's a genuine part of Asperger's; I looked it up because I was surprised the disorder could cause a person to favor certain textures (In his case my mom and I theorized he preferred crunchy things over others).

Not implying that's the case with your friend. He just seems like a close-minded brat.

She's fucking awesome.

Unfortunately she isn't a good cook. She loves to experiment and her food is never shit. It's healthy and has decent variety, she just isn't good. It all tastes the same in a kinda strange mustardy peppery sort of way. I wonder if her taste buds work differently from other people's.

That's why I learned to cook.

American Japanese restaurant salad! All American Japanese restaurants owned by Chinese or Koreans (95% of them) are the same, and they all serve that salad. Not a bad salad, but I've never seen it in Japan.

If they gave even the slightest shit about authenticity, they'd serve pic related instead. It's made with burdock, carrot, and sesame salad dressing. I like putting bean sprouts in it too.

Not really a 'picky eater' as such, but my brother has aspergers and refuses to order McDonalds without using certain special names that he has invented for the menu items. He only eats

>Egg McMuffin
>Big Mac
>Small Fries
>Plain McFlurry
>Nuggets
>Side Salad

And he calls them
Egg McMuffin > Breakfast Bird Belch
Big Mac > The Whopper Topper
Small Fries > One Salty Potato
Plain McFlurry > The Candy Shop was out of products but then the Ice Cream Van came!
Nuggets > Chicken Clips
Side Salad > Middle Salad (he always puts it in the middle of a plate)

It isn't a huge problem normally because the locals know him but if we ever go anywhere on holiday it came be a fucking hard time. For example we flew out to our grandparents at Christmas, and got stuck at the airport for 15 minutes watching him ask the nice girl behind the counter for 'The Whopper Topper with The Candy Shop was out of products but then the Ice Cream Van came!'. Eventually my dad managed to communicate to them what he wanted without him realising and he got his food.

I have a light case of the 'tism and there are many foods and other things I used to despise solely based on texture. For example, I can't even touch fake suede without shivers running down my spine.

So let me tell you I have a leg to stand on when I say your friend is a spoiled little bitch. His mother enabled him. I like almost everything, even shit with horrific textures like okra, because I kept trying instead of giving up the first time I didn't like something.

I find that most people who don't like certain foods grew up with parents who couldn't cook those foods properly. Vegetables are usually the victim in America. Most American white bread parents boil vegetables until all the color and texture is gone and the veggies are just grey and mushy. If I had to grow up eating that kind of crap, I wouldn't like veggies either.

Sorry to hear that bruh. Especially since kosher salt is "less salty" by volume than table salt due to the larger flakes. Make her watch Alton Brown's salt-shilling video from Good Eats.
