-- Picky eaters....
Pages (2): « 1 [2]
Picky eaters piss me the fuck off. And whats funny, it seems like I know more picky GUYS then I do girls.
I do understand when there is a GOOD reason for not liking XX, but when I get the simple "I didn't like it" with NO reasoning behind it I am literally 
I was "talking" to a girl a few years ago. Finally, we went out on a date. We had gone over the restaurant (that she had gone to before) so I was like...well this will be good. WRONG. Once the menus came out she started complaining about EVERYTHING. She didn't like this or that and she felt the need to want to go somewhere else. After I convincing her to get something (I put her on blast for WANTING to go there), she was still complaining. Add this to her consistent texting to her BFF that we were going to meet up with with in an hour later for drinks (my cell phone was put away), I walked out on her.
I got up, told her that I needed to go to the bathroom. I found our waiter gave him my CC and told him to charge the full dinner and what ever else the fuck she wanted (with in reason) on that card. After leaving the bathroom, I walked out of the restaurant through the kitchen and turned off my phone and drove home.
Funny thing is, she didn't talk to me for 2-3 weeks after that (I didn't contact her during that time) and then out of no where she calls me said she was sorry and asked me out on a date.

The only food I really dislike is Blue Cheese. I keep trying it every once in a while to see if I've "grown into it" and always regret it. Shit fucking sucks.
there's a diff between having preferences and being downright RUDE about your food choices
i meet a lot of picky eaters who go "ew thats gross.. or __ is nasty"
THOSE are picky eaters i cant stand..
also.. if you happen to be in a situation where you can't control what you get to choose such as dinner parties/bbq/catered stuff..just try to manage.. yes i hate water chestnuts with a passion but if someone's mama made something with it.. i'd try to eat SOME OF IT.. unless a certain food is gonna make u sick.. just try to be gracious and make do for the moment

I can't do escargot, tried it once, not a fan.
I don't understand how one can be a picky eater living in a city like Los Angeles or San Francisco (New York, Chicago, etc...big cities)....the food is amazing 
I went to Church & State a few weeks back for a friend's birthday and had some kind of duck fat & oxtail tarte...BOMB.
lol lyns youre a picky drinker! no partida or patron, only cazodores 
I've never liked raw tomatoes on burgers/sandwiches or by themselves. But I love bruschetta and all types of tomato sauces. Also, I don't mind the flavor of coconut, but the texture itself is repulsive to me. I love coconut-based Thai curries, but I can't eat an Almond Joy or German chocolate cake.
I had food poisoning when I was real young and I remember trying to suck down an Oreo milkshake. It came back up and I've had an aversion to Oreos ever since.
Edit: I'll eat and enjoy just about anything else you put in front of me (cooked/prepared properly of course)

Really the only thing I don't like are raw tomatoes. (I will eat them cooked, sundried, etc...yet I love salsa.)
Everything else: Bring it! All cultures, flavors, and temps.
I tried octopus in Spain a few years back having never had it before and LOVED it. (drizzled with olive oil and paprika.)
Just like anything, you don't know until you try and try everything 2x.
Heading to the Sacto Mobile Food Festival today and looking forward to experiencing some new tastes and "old" dishes done in new ways. Yum!!!!
Crabs!!! I hate spending so much time taking apart the shell to only eat the meat that tastes very bland

Was picky as a kid. No onions, tomatoes or cooked veggies or even Chinese food. My mom had to pay me to eat and she'd even put the clock in front of my plate. I did like eating liver and even raw eggs.
Now... I eat everything and I mean pretty much everything and I will always try something I haven't ate. I don't care to eat crab legs cuz I have to struggle to get the meat and I don't care for big chunks of onions in my burgers but I will eat onions.
I think I love all food. 
My brother is still very picky and doesn't really try anything, especially if it has onions.

when i was a kid, i was a picky eater, but now, i eat damn near everything.
There are a few things I don't like that much, but they don't kill me: potroast - something about the flavor I have never really enjoyed and fancy mac and cheese which everyone is obsessed with(everyone loves it, but I just like good old Kraft).
The 1 thing I really REALLY don't like the taste of is Liver. Just tastes nasty.
However, I can be a somewhat picky eater only b/c I try to eat healthily.
-LT
i can't stand mayo or baloney. Mostly because i so much baloney sandwiches as a kid, that i forever more loathe them both.
I'll kill any mayonnaise i see with fire (Miracle Whip is good though.)
I don't like cajun food as well. I have alot of Cajun friends that cook alot. I know they are amazing cooks. Everybody loves their food, but i have to struggle and pretend that i like it. I'm all about taking one for the team.
Other than that, i'll eat almost anything. I'm not done with any Fear Factor type shit though, (which is probably why i dont like Cajun food!)

Don't you know your tastebuds reform every 15-28 days??? All food should be delicious at this stage in life.... Or at least try it every few weeks... you're not 7 anymore! Thoughts???? What DON'T you like, and why... (since most of you are guys on this forum... but I'm also interested in what girls think) ps. TA has been boring lately  (also posted this on facebook. heh)Let's share |

Wow, lots of picky eaters here. Won't eat tomatoes? That seems like a pretty basic food to me. I have a feeling that many who wrote they didn't like "seafood" or "Indian food" but will eat anything else have never really tried anything very adventurous. Being open to eating hamburgers OR pizza doesn't count for much.
I'm not surprised though. I work with people from many different cultures. It's very common for people to ONLY eat food from their culture, even if they lived in the US for decades. Even when they go to restaurants it's always the same kind of food. It seems very sad to me, since there is so much variety available in the Bay Area (and in LA too I'm sure).

I'll try just about anything. But there is still a lot of stuff I hate. Uni, organs, blood soup, etc. Sorry but there is a lot of nasty shit out there. But yeah, when it comes to going to a typical restaurant, pretty much anything on the menu is open.
