Picky Eaters.

[onodera]

I guess I'm quite picky.
I won't eat olives, or tinned corn, or bell peppers, or peanuts. I won't eat most porridges (though I did eat them in the bootcamp). I also avoid borshch for its beety taste.

[Provost Harrison]

I am fine with most things except, oddly enough, things that tend to be stereotypically British Fish and chips - too greasy. Mushy peas - bleughhhh. Boiled cabbage - ewwww. Black pudding - hell no. Fried breakfasts - again, too greasy. Anything with kidney or some bizarre internal organ in - no.

Apart from that, pretty much anything else! But not liver. Definitely not liver. And not shellfish either. And for some reason I always like the idea of tuna but never actually like it when I eat it.

Eat pretty much anything, except asparagus. I can handle raw spinach but not cooked.


Force-feeding kids when they're young is a good way to ensure they will be picky eaters when they get older.

[Bugs ****ing Bunny]

I draw the line at Pot Noodles, but other than that I'll eat just about anything that can't actually put up a fight.

Olives, black pudding and seafood are all stuff I love (especially scallops and crab).

[Dauphin]

Anything with kidney or some bizarre internal organ in - no.

Steak and kidney pie, yumtastic.

[Krill]

I don't eat organ meats, or mushrooms.

I used to be much pickier, but now I appreciate most foods.

I'm not a picky eater but I'm not fond of vegetables so I have to make a conscious effort to eat them. I dont 'get' asparagus at all, it absolutely tastes like **** to me. I suspect that its a genetic thing.

[onodera]

I try to avoid liver and kidney, but not because I can't stand the taste )I quite like liver), but because they are the body's filters. All the nasty stuff the animal ate is there. Any other organ is fair go. Well, except udder. Terrible taste.

I'll try most things once. I'm still working up the courage for steak tartar, even though I have no problem with carpaccio or sashimi.

I don't like canned veggies, but I will eat them.

I can't eat mold or mangoes or many tropical fruits because of allergies.

I generally don't like poorly made food (like Papa John's Pizza) but I'm as happy with McDonald's as I am Morton's Steakhouse. I can eat lamb, but sometimes it has a gamy flavor I don't like.

I don't like milk chocolate, except as hot cocoa, and I find many sweets cloying. Mexican breads and pastries are generally dry and not terribly tasty.

I like most seafood, but I didn't like mackerel sushi.

[DaShi]

I eat a lot of things that I didn't when I was younger, which I suppose is natural. However, there are a few things I still avoid. Shellfish, it's not that I don't like the taste, it just bothers me somehow. Perhaps I'm secretly Jewish. Also, I don't like pickles. When I used to go to McDonalds, I'd always take the pickle out. I guess that makes me a picky pickle picker.

[Dinner]

Shellfish, indeed all seafood, tastes great. I have no idea why so many people say they do not like it.

[orange]

Did you just grow out of it or just start trying new things by necessity.

Grew out of it I suppose. When I went to Greece in 2003 I forced myself to try stuff that I didn't think I would like, even if I had already tried it before and 'knew' I didn't like it. The only thing that I truly could not stomach was Moussaka.

Tartar

I can't eat mold or mangoes or many tropical fruits because of allergies.

[Ben Kenobi]

Hmm.

Mushrooms I don't like. Won't eat peanut butter. Seafood is out, although I love salmon, halibut and tuna. I'd eat fish everyday. Eat sushi, and rather like it.

I second the vote against rhubarb. Won't eat pickled herring. No organ meats.

I love mustard, mayo and asparagus. I'll eat pretty much every vegetable. Even turnips.

The key is to eat it from a high quality restaurant

I can eat lamb, but sometimes it has a gamy flavor I don't like.

Always buy New Zealand lamb. American "lambs" can be up to 1 yr old IIRC.
