An old, old friend of mine will not eat/drink any hot liquid. Tea, coffee, soup etc do not pass his lips.

I myself can be quite fussy. It usually takes me a long time to decide on something to eat when I go out for a meal as the dishes usually have pluses and minuses.

Who's the pickiest eater you know? How annoying is it? Is it you?

My coworker Cassandra who I eat lunch with frequently doesn't like very many vegetables or fruit.

It's inasane to me!

You! I cant believe you dont like peas..

REDFEATHERS said:

Its totally understandable.

One of my sisters is absolutely ridiculous. The ONLY veggies she eats are spinach & carrots, PERIOD. She'll freak out @ harmless shit like olives, mushrooms, a little sliver of cilantro

I served an appetizer once on a holiday - some shit from TJ's, Thai chicken sticks or something - she actually picked through it (it's like a little eggroll) to try to get microscopic slivers of coconut out Asking me, "Is that a piece of coconut???" HELL YEA IT'S A PIECE OF COCONUT, IT'S FUCKING TRYING TO BE "THAI"!!!

I can't handle that kinda shit - if you're that picky, cook your own food @ all times please. Don't drag everybody else down that silly ass road, it's so annoying




Sorry to sound so annoyed, the family has been eating together a lot lately - she makes me batty

But they are so nice..

REDFEATHERS said:

mushy peas are work of the devil!!


Regular peas are ok if fresh and prepared right.

By the way I was responsible for the vegetable this Thanksgiving - do you have any idea how hard it is to come up w/ something when so many people in the family are picky?? So what did I make - spinach

Made asparagus too, but only my mom & I ate it

I have been told that I am a fussy eater. I have texture issues..oh and smell too.

Shanti1 said:

I have texture issues too, I'm with you there. But my preferences don't seem weird to me As long as it's not lumpy (cottage cheese, oatmeal, un-stirred sour cream) or too soft (many fruits)

Smells I can't handle - fresh tomato & melon

I wasnt allowed to be picky when I was growing up.. we had to eat EVERYTHING off our plates, and couldnt leave anything.. kind of *think of the starving children in Africa* *count yourself lucky you got a hot meal and good food infront of you* blackmail So whether I hated something, I had to just learn to love it.. or swallow it down real quick with a big gulp of orange juice

Shanti1 said:

Would it be rude to ask if you swallow?

REDFEATHERS said:

When I was little and I was ordered to eat my food, when my folks werent looking, I grabbed it in my hand and flushed it down the loo.

mdiver said:

Ummm yes it would..but why stop being rude now...


the answer is on an orgnote..

JDINTERACTIVE said:

I remember not being allowed to leave the table once until I finished something. I don't even remember what it was. I do remember, I eventually won. I just sat there and sat there and wouldn't eat.

JDINTERACTIVE said:

Oh I would get smacked if I did that.. I can remember on Fridays cos my Dad worked late we used to play up to our Mum, who was softer, but she would sit at the table with the wooden sppon by her side ready to whack us, if we did anything naughty..

CarrieMpls said:

Or we wouldnt get pudding unless we finished our first course

Shanti1 said:

flight being booked as we speak

mdiver said:

guess I better go change the sheets...



Ok mister...back to the topic-

Are YOU a fussy eater?

Shanti1 said:

nope i eat pretty much anything but dick

mdiver said:

But you do eat meat I suppose?

Shanti1 said:

Hell yeah

I remember a girl I worked with was a fussy eater and she would only eat yellow or orange food.. so her diet consisted of mostly chips, baked bean, pies, chicken nuggets and stuff like that

Oh and hands up I will admit I HATE celery.. wont eat it, hate the taste, the texture, the stringy bits and the after taste and I remember disliking some sea slugs I had in Korea.. they were hard and black and well pretty damn gross..

Another friend I knew would when on a diet buy a packet of biscuits, keep them in her office desk drawer and just get one, sniff it, and then put it back! She did that with chocolate too

My son!

He won't eat bread, yet he'll eat grilled cheese, hamburgers and hot dogs. He won't eat spaghetti, but he'll eat pizza and macaroni & cheese. He won't eat cereal with milk. His idea of breakfast is a bowl of dry cereal. Yet, he drinks milk with almost every meal.

I don't understand this kid.

For me I love raw onions- hate cooked slimy smelly onions.


I HATE mushrooms- slimy...and avacado's - ewwwww mushy...

TMPletz said:

Oh my lil bro when he was young would eat dry Coco Pops for breakfast but would still drink a glass of milk, but he couldnt eat his cereal with milk in it..

Shanti1 said:

Just in case you ever need this info file it.

If you eat raw onions don't expect me to kiss your mouth

mdiver said:

Well....lucky for me there are other things to kiss...
