Poll of the Day > Any picky eaters here?

(+) Yeah! (+)

If so, what are you picky about. Which foods so you only eat? Or which foods are the ones you're picky about?
---

I'm rather picky now.
---

If its food, Ill probably eat it
---

I'm going to need someone to explain these to me:
-Not very picky, but a vegetarian.
-Not very picky, but a vegan.

Is veggie/vegan not the very definition of picky eater? If it's a genuine dietary issue like (actual) gluten or lactose intolerance then fair enough, but the rest is actively choosing not to eat certain things...?

*slowly raises hand*

Yeah, I'm pretty sensitive when it comes to taste and texture. Especially when I was little, I'd gag if the food was too hard or gravelly or slimy or tasted weird or whatever. Fortunately, my tolarance has gone up somewhat as I've gotten older. I puked the first time I had scrambled eggs, but now they're one of my favorite foods (same with spaget').

But from a young age, my one true food-love was peanut butter. Not Peterpan (f*** Peterpan) nor Jiff, but Skippy (natural). I'd take a sleeve of crackers and make peanut butter sandwiches with them, or make PB&J. I tended to crave Reeses and peanut butter cookies. Yeah, I'd eat other things, but I had to have my PB fix. Fortunately, I was blessed with a speedy metabolism, so I didn't get chubby from doing so ^-^ Even nowadays, I often have peanut butter crackers as a side for lunch, or PB&J with hotpockets as dinner xD

Aside from my pickiness, lots of my eating habits are unusual, like I eat like a bird when I'm nervous or in public places. *shrug*

I'm picky about most foods, since I can easily tell differences between brands and whatnot. I'm pretty passionate about what I do like though, as you can see from the paragraph above xD

I stay away from things like celery (tastes weird, IMO) or soda (which angers my tum-tum), but for other foods it depends on what the food is. I have a favorite brand for most of them.

I would say no

Its more a dietary choice rather than being picky.

What I meant is picky or not picky for a vegetarian or vegan. It's started off as picky, but vegetarian/vegan. Which would be the reason they are picky. Then I added the other choices because there might be vegetarians or vegans that are picky, even for them. But some that eat literally anything they can that won't violate their rules...

I won't eat raisins. I'll eat pretty much any other normal food.

Not picky.

I hate associations with picky eaters

Hmm. For drinks
Don't like that piss beer. Hate root beer. Don't like mountain dew. HOT drinks. All I can think of now.

Condiments.
Mustard, outta my face with that. Relish? I'd relish it if you DIED. Straight sour cream, nah.

I dunno other stuff.
Mushrooms. Those wafer cookie sandwich thingies? Hate whatever those are. Snickers. Coleslaw, ew. Pork rinds.
---

Oh AND pickles. And vinegar.
---

I'm not picky about almost any food because I'm not a bitch, though I dislike ketchup and I'll try to avoid it as a condiment if at all possible but if there's literally nothing else then I'll suck it up.

Snopes hasn't been a reliable source for some time.

Nope. Only a handful of things I don't like.
---

I can't eat most nuts, fruits, and veggies. Starches, grains, meats, dairy. I love all that, but I can't do plant based food.

I would probably have an easier time eating surstromming than a carrot.

How are you alive?

As I child, I was really picky but I grew out of it mostly because fuck mushrooms.
---

I'm so not picky, I'd probably give cockroaches a try if they were prepared in a dish

meat is love, meat is life.

Seriously though, I have tried to force myself to get accustomed to veggies, but I have yet to have success with it. So far the plants I can eat include

apples
corn
Potatoes
Yams
grapes
cantalope
watermelon
and I think that is about it.
I used to like bananas, but now I can't eat more than half of one.
---

Other than okra and non-fried eggplant I'll eat anything. (And even those I can tolerate is it's the only option)

And I do mean anything.

I regularly eat and enjoy balut.

I'll try and list off everything I don't like.

Tomatoes, pineapples, carrots, kidney beans, shrimp, calamari, mushrooms, bananas, apples, and sometimes cheese. Maybe a couple other things too.

Tomatoes and mushrooms are OK in extremely small amounts in food. Pineapple in foods are fine, but I'm not going to eat the pineapple itself. Banana is fine in banana bread, and apple in fresh apple pie and apple crisp. Cheese is fine, just not as a main ingredient. The others I won't even touch.

Somewhat. There are foods I know I'll like and some I know I won't.
