Can we have a picky eater thread? >A week ago at Christmas

>Exposure, plain and simple. Scientists tell us that aversions fade away when we eat moderate doses of the hated foods at moderate intervals, especially if the food is complex and new to us. (Don't try this with allergies, but don't cheat either: few of us have genuine food allergies.) Exposure works by overcoming our innate neophobia, the omnivore's fear of new foods that balances the biological urge to explore for them. Did you know that babies who are breast-fed will later have less trouble with novel foods than those who are given formula? The variety of flavors that make their way into breast milk from the mother's diet prepares the infant for the culinary surprises that lie ahead. Most parents give up trying novel foods on their weanlings after two or three attempts and then complain to the pediatrician; this may be the most common cause of fussy eaters and finicky adults--of omnivores manqués. Most babies will accept nearly anything after eight or ten tries.

Was at my girlfriend's house on Christmas Eve. Her sister was making meat pie and roasted broccoli + cauliflower. I noticed their nephew eating Mcnuggets before dinner was ready. He wasn't a lard ass or anything, so I figured he was one of those picky eaters I'd heard about. He just sat infront of an empty plate during dinner. Didn't make a fuss or anything. Shit like that or people who can't drink plain water confuse me though. I can't help but feel like they should just get over it, and I know that's really insensitive to say, but how the fuck could someone who only eats mcnuggets and other boring inoffensive foods, be alive even a few decades ago?

I hate pepper and would've thrown that shit out to. Lasagna is supposed to be made with cheese sauce and meat, that's it.

>>7232732
Being autistic about "muh authenticity" is being a picky eater.

>>7232700
I have a family member who is convinced she's allergic to black pepper because it "burns her mouth." So basically she can't eat out at any decent restaurant or anybody else's house, because everyone fucking uses black pepper. But I've seen her unknowingly eat food with black pepper in it, and she doesn't get any kind of allergic reaction. She's just a hypochondriac pain in the ass.

And it really takes a lot to stand out in my family as a fussy eater, given that about half of my relatives have their little lists of Foods They Don't Eat. For some it's onions, others seafood, others nuts, mushrooms or eggplant. But thinking you're allergic to black pepper because it burns your mouth takes the cake.

>>7232732

You must not understand why salt and pepper are used in almost every dish. Pepper helps bring out the natural flavors in each ingredient. You can't even taste it.

>>7232722
>how the fuck could someone who only eats mcnuggets and other boring inoffensive foods, be alive even a few decades ago?
Most food in America was boring and inoffensive a few decades ago unless you lived in a major city. My grandfather pretty much lived on well done meat and potatoes his entire life.

>>7232732
I think you're confusing bell pepper and black pepper. Black pepper is the spice, and it definitely goes in lasagna. Bell pepper would be weird.

Food that doesn't have some kind of "crunch" makes me nauseous.
Its like eating pensioner food.

>>7232732
what the hell are you talking about? pepper is most definitely used in the meat sauce you layer between the cottage cheese and ricotta. cheese sauce?

Vegetarianism is a restrictive diet. Just because you try "strange shit" in order to avoid malnourishment doesn't make you weird or adventurous.

The fact that your mind could somehow read that into the post you responded to only hurts whatever argument you might be trying to make.

>>7232893

People can be allergic to meat. Tick bites are actually proven to lead to red meat allergies for some people. Meat allergies like most food allergies aren't very common but still exist. The panel for food allergies at my allergist's office has chicken, beef, and dozens of other things on there that you wouldn't think people "could" be allergic to.

>>7232999
The discussion was on breastfeeding, if I'm not mistaken. Whoever that vegetarian was implied that their unusually varied tastes, despite being bottle fed, contradicted the correlation people were claiming (that breast feeders have wider taste and are less likely to be picky).

It was important for that guy to point out that not eating meat is a pretty restrictive dietary choice, meaning that person's diet was not as adventurous as they thought, hence the correlation still stands.

The point of the first person was that the correlation isn't there, the point of the second is that the correlation might well be there since a vegetarian diet is pretty restrictive, no matter how adventurous you feel you are. Nobody was attacked until that idiot started getting offended and lashed out.

>>7232722

you're assuming that the vegetarian didn't take that into account, seemed pretty clear that they were saying they ate strange shit and to either blame that on vegetarianism or say that not eating mean cancels that out doesn't really make sense. you can be plenty adventurous and not eat meat.

>>7233038
Maybe one day the dick will fall out of your ass and you'll stop being a faggot

>>7233080
>you can be plenty adventurous and not eat meat.
Not adventurous enough to deny the correlation. If you had an unrestricted and adventurous diet consisting of all types of food, and you were bottle fed, that would be some interesting anecdotal evidence (though obviously not enough by itself to mean anything). Being somewhat adventurous except from almost half of all common food is pretty meaningless even as an anecdote in this context.

>>7232965
When was the last time you drank piss? Ate brains? Testicles? I'm not a vegetarian, but saying avoiding any type of food = steak and potatoes level of picky is retarded.

>>7233108
even if meat was half of all common food which it's really not then not eating that and eating a range of strange shit instead doesn't mean you're less adventurous.

an infinite range of food minus meat is an infinite range of food.

and we're not even talking about the fact that you can be a vegetarian for non-picky reasons.

And you can be just as adventurous, but also eat meat.

Vegetarians have this crazy idea that because they don't eat meat they somehow open themselves up to a wider variety of foods, when in fact everyone eats the same shit they do, but aren't picky about eating animal flesh.

>>7233161
>Vegetarians have this crazy idea that because they don't eat meat they somehow open themselves up to a wider variety of foods
Ah now we get down to it, you have preconceived ideas about vegetarians and you made assumptions about the vegetarian that says they eat adventurously.

>>7233113

I've eaten brains and testicles, and even drank piss (though like the other anon said, that's not /ck/ relevant). I don't eat them every day, because they're not common foods where I live.

They are nowhere near common enough to make any sort of analogy with eating any and all meat in general.

Some vegetarians have rationalizations for their food phobia, but most don't. Either way, I'd say exactly the same thing about someone who says they don't eat onions or tomatoes, and that's being generous to vegetarians.

>>7233060
>It was important for that guy to point out that not eating meat is a pretty restrictive dietary choice, meaning that person's diet was not as adventurous as they thought, hence the correlation still stands.
I think a distinction needs to be made between people who don't eat/try things because they dislike new things, or think they'll dislike whatever it is, and people who don't eat things because of personal ethical choices. Many American meat eaters won't eat dogs or cats, or maybe just dogs they know were recently pets, or dogs they see tortured to death to enhance the flavor, or won't eat endangered species they know were illegally poached, or won't eat veal when they know the calf was bound in a cage unable to walk its entire life. These sorts of moral choices are very distinct from "eww it looks gross", or someone who eats a bull's ass, legs, and abdomen, but won't eat a its eyes, brains, tongue, intestines, or testicles.

>>7233184
>Some vegetarians have rationalizations for their food phobia, but most don't.
That's absurd, you're just making shit up, because you can't think of any rational reason to justify your own someone-doesn't-think-like-I-think "phobia".

>>7233173

>now we get down to it

One person eats everything, another person eats everything minus all meat.

One of them has a more restricted diet, but calls themselves an adventurous eater.

There's no preconceived ideas at play; that was literally how this discussion got started.

>>7232700
My friend married a milk-toast engineer autist from Indiana who doesn't drink, and seems to hate the notion of food, fine dining, and anything more than a generic taste of "bland". Mother fucker ignored all the food I made, and which everyone else was ravenously consuming, and proceeded to sit and eat a bowl of M&M's he found leftover from Christmas.

If you're not going to eat almost any of the food I made, why the fuck are you even here? It's like the one fucking reason you bother going to your boyfriend or girlfriend's gatherings; The people are weird, but the food is great. You drink other people's wine and beer, you eat the food they prepared, you avoid saying anything stupid, make people laugh, and have a good time.

According to your logic all, or at least the majority of, vegetarians are intelligent people who have put lots of thought into their life choices and can produce cogent reasons for leading an alternative lifestyle.

Again, a picky eater is someone who obstinately refuses to eat a particular kind of food (and in extreme cases will act like they're going to vomit or otherwise throw a tantrum if you ask them to try a bite).

I'm not a big fan of zucchini. I've had some amazing zucchini, but it usually falls flat for me. I'll still always eat it, especially if someone else is serving it to me. That's called having preferences, but not being a picky eater.

Someone who outright refuses to have zucchini on their plate, let alone touching their other food, is a picky eater.

Vegetarians fall into the latter category.

>Vegetarians fall into the latter category.

Again, you're not considering the reason behind the refusal. Say someone is deathly allergic to peanuts. By your reasoning, they are a picky eater, because they outright refuse to eat peanuts. Picky eaters refuse to eat because they don't like or think they won't like something. Vegetarians may be picky or not, but for most their reasons are independent of whether they like meat or not.

>>7233233
You don't know if they refuse meat dishes, a lot of vegetarians don't, I don't refuse them, I don't give a shit if meat's touched my food either. If you've got duck fat to roast potatoes in then why not, the duck's already dead. This is rational, you're assuming s.p.a.v. is irrational without proof.

She never tasted what she made, and if you asked her she'd say "I don't eat that."

Can't call yourself a vegetarian if you eat meat.

>Just because you have become a perfect omnivore does not mean that you must flaunt it. Intoxicated with my own accomplishment, I began to misbehave, especially at dinner parties. When seated next to an especially finicky eater, I would often amuse myself by going straight for the jugular. Sometimes I began slyly by staring slightly too long at the food remaining on her plate and then inquiring whether she would like to borrow my fork. Sometimes I launched a direct assault by asking how long she had had her terror of bread. Sometimes I tricked her by striking up an abstract conversation about allergies. And then I would sit back and complacently listen to her neurotic jumble of excuses and explanations: advice from a personal trainer, intolerance to wheat gluten, a pathetic faith in Dean Ornish, the exquisite--even painful--sensitivity of her taste buds, hints of childhood abuse. And then I would tell her the truth.

So if you eat meat without killing it, you're technically a vegetarian? I guess I better tell 90% of the world's population that they're actually vegetarian.

>>7233278
>Shouldn't a vegetarian by definition refuse meat dishes?
People (vegetarians or not) draw different distinctions over what they'll eat and under what circumstances. I consider myself a vegetarian, but if meat was my only option to meet my caloric or nutritional needs, I'd eat it. This sort of question sometimes arises with prisoners, and the same reasoning for exceptions is used for many religious food rules (e.g. people who are weak & ill don't have to fast for Ramadan).

>>7233340
>The cause of the slaughter of an animal, not the animal you eat. When you buy meat more meat replaces it, you add a demand to the industry and an animal is slaughtered in your name.

Let me get this straight. If I have you over for dinner, and I made chicken or beef or some other animal, it's okay for you to eat it as long as you didn't pay for it? Isn't that really fucking hypocritical?

>>7233321

So you're just someone who tries to avoid eating meat as much as possible.

You were getting defensive and calling everyone ignorant because you represent 1% of vegetarians, and most people in your situation (which I understand as an ethical one, and probably also has something to do with having issues with the state of industrial agriculture, which most omnivores also have issues with...) wouldn't even self-identify as vegetarian.

>>7233340
>a person who does not eat or does not believe in eating meat, fish, fowl, or, in some cases, any food derived from animals, as eggs or cheese, but subsists on vegetables, fruits, nuts, grain, etc.

No because you'd be creating demand. If you're not creating demand then there's no harm, but that only happens when the alternative is it's going in the bin.

>>7233383
>If nobody buys it from the store then the store orders less meat.

Nah, grocery stores throw away tons of meat and still keep ordering it. There will never be enough vegetarians in the world to make any difference whatsoever.

So you're just a troll, just like in every other veg thread. There's a reason anons are hostile to people like you on /ck/.

>>7233393

So it's okay to let them die for no reason, unless someone else pays for it, in which case they're a horrible immoral killing monster and you're the moral white knight saving the animal carcass from a destiny of oblivion. Do you really wonder why no one takes vegetarians seriously?

>>7233395
I think we do make a difference to how much meat supermarkets order

>>7233402
but it's fucking logical

>>7233403
I'm not ok for them to die for no reason, I don't understand where you're getting this from.

Above all else I try not to create a demand for animals to be slaughtered, that's it, that's the one thing. If I didn't want to fund coca cola but I was given a bottle (and I didn't have the choice to give it away) then I'd drink it, throwing it away makes nothing better.

Not him, but I knew that one. I don't understand the disconnect between fish and meat that they and catholics have. I had one try to explain to me why fish is okay but other meat isn't and it just sounded like a retarded justification.

>>7233417

>it's fucking logical

It's reasonable, sure.

Just stop saying you're representative of the majority of vegetarians, because you aren't.

I've been eating less and less meat, simply because I don't always feel the need to have it, and there's plenty of other things I like eating. I wouldn't call myself a vegetarian though, even if I had strong enough feelings about killing animals and factory farming to push me further in that direction or to just use as a justification if it ever came up in conversation. I eat what I want, and someone who needs to have a slab of meat on their plate is just as ridiculous as someone who refuses to.

>>7233422

Those are pescatarians .

Not everyone with a restrictive diet is a vegetarian.

Shit I found what I am
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buddhist_vegetarianism
>the Buddha allowed his monks to eat pork, chicken and fish if the monk was aware that the animal was not killed on their behalf.
You have to be careful people don't start buying meat for you though, it's got to be an unpreventable eat it or bin it situation

>>7233430
It's about how far you're willing to go. You balance the guilt you're willing to feel with how convenient or tasty the animal is. Fish are pretty stupid, insects might not even feel pain or really be aware what's happening. If you wanted to be perfect you'd have to immediately kill yourself.

>>7233433

You could argue it's more ethical than not eating meat. You are supporting their survival as a species and their health as individuals, something of which they would have guarantee in the wild, and which improves the quality of the end product.

>>7233610

I got a friend like that. Whenever we go out it's either a "plain burger" with only the meat on bread or a well-done steak. My aunt is the same way. I even asked her what would happen if there was no food to eat aside from stuff she hated and her response was legitimately "I would rather starve."

For foods I don't like, I took a gradual process of introduction.

Eg mushrooms.

Started eating oriental ramen (basically mushroom flavoured), eg the base flavour. incorporating it more and more into food.

Then moved on to finely chopped/minced mushrooms incorporated more and more predominantly as I got used to it

work my way up until now I can nearly eat all whole mushrooms. Still working on raw and still working on preparing them myself, I have to buy cut ones because they still skeeve me.

I hope this helps.

It just...doesn't taste the same.

mince as finely as possible or put them in a food processor/blender. if you're sauteing them, they probably need more time than you think. start them on medium high heat and lower once you notice them starting to brown, because they have a lot of water trapped inside.

i love onions, i eat them with pretty much every meal but if they aren't prepared properly they can be terrible. if they're sliced too big in a salad it ruins the salad, but thin sliced onion is amazing in salad and sandwiches.

if you don't have a good knife and cutting board, and you just chop up onions with a steak knife on a dinner plate you won't be able to mince them finely.

yes, it works that way. let's say, i don't like olives. i try one, a year later i try another, few weeks later i eat another one or even few maybe. then i realise they are not so bad with cheese and wine or as a pizza topping or something. and then i can say, i like olives.

kids usually like sweet or even bland things, maybe a feew salty or greasy like potato chips or fries, but when you get older and you're not a freakin' faggot, you try new food, new tastes, new things, and if you're not a stupid american kid like op's brother or his >>7232875 sister, you would prefer healthy tasty food, no just a steak, fries, burgers, pizza or china.

and if you don't like sth, like pepper or onion, you just pick those things up and leave them on a plate, don't throw everyfuckinthing away to the garbage, it's a waste of time, money and environment, do i have to explain that to you, really?

I'll try anything once. Literally anything. I'll try pufferfish I don't even give a fuck.

What I want to try the most however, are spicy insects, Thai market stall style. Something that is savoury, crispy and scorching hot. Like crickets.

God, fuck yes. All this picky eater bullshit is just autism, I really can not wrap my head around it. Why not experience everything life has to offer you? Not liking something is fine, but if you don't try it at least once (preferably a couple of times) then you're an irredeemable autist and I have little respect for you.

it's a fucking bechamel sauce

butter, flour, milk and plenty of italian cheese

get the fuck out of here with your cottage cheese, what's wrong with you

>>7238489
jestes Polakiem?

>>7238492
bechamel suace isn't made of cheese, it's made of butter, flour, milk, salt, black pepper and nutmeg.

you lay a bit of bechamel sauce or olive oil first, then lasagne pasta shits, ragu sauce, bechamel sauce, some cheese - preferably mozzarella or parmigiano regiano or grana padano or even freakin' ricotta, but NOT the cottage cheese. next you go the same - pasta, ragu, bechamel, cheese. the top layer is pasta, bechamel and cheese. it's not difficult, you just don't put anything american in it.

watch gennaro contaldo on yt or antonio carlucci and you'll learn.

No you fucking retarded hatebreeding shitfucker. Lasagna is singular in NON-italian languages, basic fucking english.

I did that with olives. I didn't like them, so I forced myself to have one every time they showed up until I got used to it, and now I have an additional thing I enjoy.

>>7232722
i noticed that my nephew was one of those kids who didnt like the taste of plain old water, which seemed utterly retarded at first. but i noticed the water from their sink tasted chemically/thick, so i couldnt downright blame him.

i also took a sip from his lunchables waterbottle before he added the koolaid powder and it had that same chemical thickness to it. im worried for kids who live in shit areas who get addicted to soda and flavorings because their water is really nasty

Have you considered not preying on younger men?

ITT: Human garbage dumpsters brag about the garbage they eat

>>7232722
I had a bad home lif growing up, add shit food all the time because of a bad mother. When I went over my dads he would try to feed me good food as much as possible. He's a great cook and my step mom is good too. I didn't like a lot of fruits, fish, nuts, and veg because almost zero exposure to it.

They let me sit at the dinner table with broc on my plate and basically limited desserts and other way to at least get me to try things.

When I passed 11 i lived with them full time and things were way better. I still just cant eat some stuff but at the very least I can count those individual things on my hand.

My cousin is 16 and only eats garbage, he reminds me of me when I was 9 and it makes me furious. The mother is an enabler and the father yells at him and her and just ends up pushing him to eat more.

Former picky eater here, don't give up on us. Some of us will turn around. How I got over it was that I would eat a piece of meat/whatever food I liked and then eat a small piece of whatever veggie was with it so I wouldn't "feel" it in my mouth. Over time I decreased the amount of meat/whatever food I liked and increased the veggie until I would eat it by itself.

BTW roasted veggies in olive oil are GOAT.

>>7232780
I get this, soft food with no flavour like rice and boiled/mashed potatoes aren't good.

Similarly rice and bananas make me gag, I do try eating them occasionally though.

>>7233276
Sorry, but your not a vegetarian if you will eat meat.

>>7232700
>Not the first time it happened either

So how do you manage to make the same mistake twice?

>>7238410
I also hate onions in food, and I used to be phobic towards it earlier in my life. It was only because of the texture, not the taste though ..so here is what I did/ do:
I used a grater/shredder to shred the onions in to a fine squishy mash, and then put it in a small cloth above the pot with the food in it, and press the juices down

or

I would cut the onions into small bits, put them in a garlic press and press the juices directly into the cooking pot. (slower process than the above)

or

Make 2 cross cuts on an onion, but don't cut through ...so the onion can basically hold its shape. Put the large onion into the pot you intend to cook in, and let it stay till the food is done, then you can take the onion out of the pot with a spoon.

or

If you plan to fry something, make 2 cuts on one large onion, so it slices into 4 pieces ...peel off the large layers and remove the thin skin on them. Place the onions on the frying pan and cook whatever you want on them, and when the food is done, remove the onions pieces.
----------------------

I am aware that there are more advanced kitchen tools for pressing out onion juice, but I like to keep mine simple...

I'm fussy. I can't drink wine. I try it every time I eat a meal, but the aftertaste doesn't agree with me.

I wish I liked wine, but I don't :( I'll keep trying though

So what's the deal with picky eaters?

They've never been in situations where they have to be less picky?

>>7232780
so you can't eat soup?

>>7232700
I'll be honest and say I'm kind of a faggot because I can't stand raisins but I like all the other dried fruit I've tasted. Also, I can't stand regular sweet fruits. Tart fruits, like strawberries and granny smith apples, however, I love.
My older brother is another case. He orders the same pizza nearly every day and only likes two vegetables: potatoes and corn.

There's a difference between not liking wine (reasonable) and refusing to eat anything cooked with wine in (kill yourself) the former is just a personal taste.

>>7237716

Your brother is a faggot. You have decent taste. I'm sure you could find a way to like sweeter fruits, if they were cooked in the right way. I dislike dried fruits myself, I've never enjoyed them in a dish but I imagine I could.

>>7243838
This needs to be reiterated and stated more strongly, because a lot of people don't seem to be getting it.

There is nothing wrong with not liking the taste/texture of something, and avoiding it (Ex. I don't like apples, so I tend to avoid them; but if I'm a guest and someone offers one to me, I'll eat it).

The autism kicks in when you're fucking ridiculous about it.

>>7232700
Putting black pepper on a dish that doesn't call for it.
Waaaa why can't people like my cooking.

Nein

Grew up being told I'm a picky eater. Once I moved out, I continually tried different things, now I enjoy most foods. Turns out, some kids go picky because their parents can't into cooking decently.

Black pepper can go on virtually everything you faggot. Do you even cook or are you part of le epin reddit migration?

you're like the people who blot pizza with paper napkins

it's logical, it makes sense, and there's no reason for anyone to get upset over it

but people like me do

and we're very much not okay with it. Deal with it.
