I love food and love to eat. I will try anything once. If I don't like it, I know not to mess with it again, but I'm usually game for anything that is meant to be eaten.

In general, yes. But only if she´s clean and not smelly.

LOL, glad to know I wasn't the only one that saw it that way!

By the way, that's a testament to the usual nature of GD threads. It's NOT a reflection on how we think!

Oh I have texture issues with ham too. I forgot that one. I can eat a whole spiral cut honeybaked ham but if it is boiled, rubbery or slimey, forget it.

Do you like cheesestrings? They're well rubbery!

Not in Wisconsin, they aren't.

Ooooh. Nice, fresh curds that squeak on your teeth.

Okay I get it now.

I don´t like stuff that´s been touched too much ( unless the person is Japanese...for some strange reason, I don´t mind Japanese people touching my food).Sounds weird.

And I don´t like grease, animal fat, lard etc.

Okra and slimey stuff is not for me and I don´t eat pork, cats, dogs and snails. Other than that, I eat almost anything but I´m thinking about becoming a dedicated vegetarian again like I used to be.

And I can´t stand oversugared sweet stuff.

<--- will eat KoolEaze's allotment of goose and duck fat, lard, and tallow, as long as none of them have been hydrogenated

Mmmmmm, lard.........

Yeah I'd say I'm pretty picky about what I eat

I'm not an adventureous eater at all

Lard is delicious - and is actually pretty good for you. Again, as long as it hasn't been hydrogenated.

I'm fussy in the sense that I take care in what I'm eating the vast majority of the time. I don't eat fast food with any regularity and I'm trying to cut down dramatically on packaged food. I buy organic at least 50% of the time as well.

I do eat out quite a bit, but mostly stuff that I know where it comes from. I eat lunch out nearly every day, but it's always freshly prepared and nutritionally balanced and 300-400 calories. And affordable.

I suppose being vegetarian could be considered fussy eating in some parts, but to me it's just having a conscience.

Other than that I'll try anything (non-animal/insect based) once. And I don't like raw tomatoes, but I can put up with them if necessary.

That's kind of unfair/judgmental because everyone who eats meat is not automatically void of conscience.

As mentioned above, I have food allergies. I can't have soy, or beans & nuts, so I would not get enough protein without some kind of meat. (My doctor originally advised me against giving up red meat, but I didn't want to eat it anymore).

I read a book not too long ago, in which the author told of going to China to study complementary medicine (she's an MD who wanted to know more about Chinese herbs and acupuncture). She was a vegetarian at the time. The Chinese doctor she was going to study with examined her and told her she needed to eat more meat. She replied that she was a vegetarian and didn't eat meat because of ethical concerns. He told her....

Meat is not food. It is medicine.

Nah, the thing about a conscience is that it's very personal. No judgement whatsoever. I'm talking about me and me alone.

Exactly

I just hate when I'm eating something and someone starts preaching.

That includes telling me how much sugar, fat, or artificial whatever is in it...

If it's personal, keep it that way. I eat what I want, you do the same (not directed toward you guys- hopefully you understand what I mean. I'm sure it's annoying when people comment on your vegetarian diet )

Only if I'm attached to the girl, or else wanting to be

x 100000

I cannot stand when I'm eating something and people feel they have the right to critique it. My mother has done it my whole life -- she's vegetarian, borderline vegan, eats all Organic, etc. She feels that it is her place to comment on everything I put in my mouth. She's done it from the time that I was a small child straight through into adulthood.

"Yes, Mother, I realize that this bacon double cheeseburger is bad for me. I understand the fat content, salt intake, calories, and how morally incorrect it is to eat another living creature in this day and age. Thank you for your concern. What you don't understand is that I don't care."

Hate, hate, hate that!

I'm with Carrie, basically. If you consider a vegan health nut to be a picky eater, then yes, I am.

But I really just think that most other people are indiscriminate to the point of insanity with what they put in their bodies, while I'm a very reasonable eater.

As far as what I'd consider pickiness, I do hate pickled/brine-y things. That's about it.

hate broccoli

hate tomatoes

no tounges or anything gross like that

^ hey you

no pasta with tomato sauce ?

i couldn't live without that:-o

[Edited 6/24/10 15:10pm]

top of my list would be seafood. my body just doesn't react well to it or it's smell. it really makes me sick in the stomach.

i also do not eat chicken (unless it's boneless, then maybe), eggs, jams, butter, honey, olives, sweet peppers, goat cheese, raw meats and anything that touches celery.

that said, i'm actually an easy guy to feed coz what i do like i do not get sick of easily.

I'm really not. There are very few foods that I won't eat, at all (mushrooms are probably #1 on the list). But if I'm going to eat something I don't really care for (like eggs or ham), I'm very fussy about how they're prepared. Basically, eggs have to be prepared in such a way that I don't even really know they're there. They're just a vehicle for lots of veggies, bacon and cheese. (When I eat eggs, I'm after the protein and vitamin A, and that's it.) With ham, it has to be a really super awesome dry ham. It can't be rubbery in the least.

Eww. I don't like rubbery ham either.

Mushrooms seems to be a common food dis-like.

I love mushrooms even though 50% of the time they fuck up my stomach.
