Picky Eaters

[DailyDi]

Littles can be picky eaters! What common foods do you refuse to touch?

 

For me, Shrimp, I don't like the texture of it.

The littlest food of all.

 

Mac 'n cheese. I can't stand the stuff, never could.

I'm picky on salads. I don't like iceberg lettuce as it doesn't seem to sit well with me, but make a salad with spinach or arugula and I'm in!

My wife refuses to eat anything with shellfish in it, no matter how hard I try to convince her. She always comes up with the same lame excuse "No, don't feed me that I'm allergic to shellfish, I could die!!!!" she's just nothing but excuses.

 

 

Disclaimer: I don't actually try to get my wife to eat shellfish, that would be stupid, she's allergic.

Iceberg lettuce is just basically water. It's good for your digestion, but that's about it.????

Picky eaters?  I thought that was about the kids who picked their noses and ate their boogers!

That's better than Mac 'n cheese.

[Snugglebear_69]

Raisins, yergh and yuck! I'd rather be punched in the face than eat even a single raisin.

Not a fan of most veggies.   Peppers (red or green bell) are my worst enemy.  They're like the party favor of cooking - seems everyone has to put them in everything, meaning I won't touch any of it!   Onions.... they don't agree with me.

Oatmeal. I'm not talking about oatmeal cookies or anything like that, but just regular oatmeal in a bowl. I hate the texture. Not to mention, I once had a stepfather who insisted on me having oatmeal for breakfast (despite my clear aversion to it), and he was just also a complete asshole in general, so I guess I began to associate oatmeal with him, only strengthening my aversion.

Oddly ... had a step father that forced these on me like the oatmeal ....  I despise them too!  

Also don't like raw tomatoes (texture thing going on there too)... yet ketchup or pasta sauce is just fine.   And that made no difference to him either.  Yet the hypocrite doesn't like peanut butter, but will eat peanut butter cookies!  (I don't like peanut butter cookies either)

Brussel Sprouts?  Turkey and roast chicken just wouldn't be the same without Brussel Sprouts!  Don't get frozen ones as they are terrible.  I boil the fresh ones until you can stick a fork in them and they are tender but not mushy.  Drain the water, cover them with some butter and salt and they are great!

I used to hate them too. My dad made some once, probably frozen.....they were bitter and horrid!!. ?? and I hadn't bothered with them since.

......BUT..a few years ago, someone made some with garlic and butter.....OMG! Wonderful!!! From what I have read here they were more than likely fresh..and cooked correctly...

So I guess I am a convert...used to despise them, but if cooked properly, they are quite good!!

 

Now, Brains on the other hand......I wont touch!! ??

[Hookedondiapers]

All seafood for me.  Can't stand the smell, texture or taste.

Most offal is also off the menu.  I don't mind sweetbreads (if cooked properly), but just about any other organ is out.

I have a funny book, written by Richard Wilson (I Don't Believe It).  One section is dedicated to the Great British Christmas Lunch.  His description of cooking brussels sprouts is to "Start boiling them two weeks before Christmas".  That pretty much describes the sprouts on every Christmas table in England.

[Dubious]

Only thing I have refused to eat is clam and snails. 

[Little Cub Pants]

While, I don't REFUSE to eat this food, I would say it's my least favorite. And that food IS, SEAFOOD! I've just never really cared for it, don't know why.??? I mean I'll eat it but I don't necessarily like it. Although there are some foods that I like. Like, salmon, and fish sticks, and breaded fish, but that's about it. But one food I ABSOLUTELY hate is watermelon.? Can't stand it! And I ALSO don't like honey? or coffee, but I'll drink a cappuccino. I LOVE cappuccinos!?☕ I also don't like brussel sprouts or guacamole.?

[barnburner]

I dislike most cheeses and will not touch fish. Also not a fan of non-red sauces usually adorning burgers and other meat dishes

Heh....  reminds me of a quote out of the movie 2010 (Space Odyssey sequel).  ".... September.  Hotdogs have been boiling since the opening day in April!"

Pasta salad or baked beans.  I'll eat a bite or two out of politeness.

Man, I love Brussel Sprouts

I dated a girl that hated Oatmeal as well. She was raised with horses and said oatmeal looked like the stuff she used to brush off a sweaty horse after a hard run. lol
