I don't like tomatoes and mayonnaise on burgers but they're ok on other stuff. I don't really "get" chicken and find it really bland in most dishes but I have no problem eating it. I once knew a guy whose parents fed him the exact same food items on a weekly schedule that never varied and he was really hosed up for it, he freaked out when we went to a dennys and he had to pick his own meal

I feel kinda sad for the people that aren't into tomatoes. I mean, they're a miracle food that in some form will go along with anything. It'd be like living a life where you didn't like bell peppers.

these do exist (i was one as a kid), they're just not terribly interesting or visible b/c they are generally healthy and can eat a decent selection of normal adult food without bursting into tears

I've known 2 people in my life who eat like this. And both times it was a case of being huge goony man/woman children. One in particular was so bad I'd never seen her eat anything other than burgers (plain meat on bread, no veggies, cheese, ketchup, etc), chicken nuggets, pizza (plain cheese), fries, ice cream (vanilla), and plain potato chips. She's fat and chronically sick.

It's always children's menu food. "ALL VEGETABLES ARE DISGUSTING and I LITERALLY VOMIT when one gets into my mouth but salsa and potatoes are mmm mmm good"

MALT LIQUOR!
My old roommate was super pasty and sickly all the time and literally only ate pasta or velveeta mac and cheese, like an entire 5 serving box to himself. It was pretty infuriating and he would never want to try anything cool I made. He lost his mind when he even looked at mayo. I found out from his friend that his mom literally never fed him anything other than pasta and plain grilled chicken until he was ~13.

My 14 year old cousin is worse though, whenever I would go to my Aunt's house for dinner, he would always refuse to eat whatever she made. It was always really simple American food like baked chicken or tacos or something and he would throw a complete temper tantrum unless they made him whatever he wanted, which was usually cereal, mac and cheese with ketchup or just straight up candy and chips. They absolutely treat him like he's still a baby and a 'miracle' and give in to absolutely anything he wants the second he got even remotely upset. He's pretty fat now and it's real sad.

My niece gags, but never fully throws up, if she finds out that her parents slipped her anything that isn't 1) Chicknugs, 2) Plain Pasta, 3) :)-Fries.

The same thing is happening with my nephew.

They're parents started off trying to expose them to different foods, but as soon as they started showing preference towards those 3 high fat/ calorie lovely foods they just gave up and went with it.

I think they only slip new foods when we visit.

When we get those kids for the summer they're eating vegetables or they can starve, idgaf

Bell peppers taste alright but I won't eat them because every time I do I break out with a nasty 2 week long pimple and I just won't have it. It's a genetic thing I got from my dad.

Wasn't there some guy who made a list of 30 foods he didn't like and started to eat them everyday? After about three months he came around and developed cravings for all but two or three items on the list.

Cooked tomatoes and stuff like salsa and bruschetta own. Raw tomatoes are disgusting, mostly because of how tomatoes are handled from industrial farming

I was half forced half persuaded to eat 'yucky' foods as a kid and now I even actually dont mind the dread brussel sprout if somebody serves me it and I'll be damned if I dont use the same method on my own offspring. For example I didn't like onion as a kid in any form so my mom just started to mince it so finely that my dumb baby brain couldn't register it anymore in the food. As a bit older dumb baby I asked my mom why this food x was so delicious and she just replied "onions".

their dirty, calloused hands might bruise the delicate flesh of the bulb. You can rely on them for many things, from shoveling dirt, to wiping your rear end, and even to stay composed and silent as you roughly abuse them in their shanties, but never to touch the tender flesh of home grown organic produce.

sprouts are loving awesome, boiled for just a few minutes then shallow fried with sesame oil and soy/worcester will they're showing some colour, toss some walnuts in there, delish. Even on their own they're p great. I guess some people find them bitter or something, to me they just taste like tiny cabbages, because they are

they make me fart though

Boiling brussel sprouts is a war crime and probably why so many people think they suck.

Sprouts are so much better cut in half and roasted.

I used to really hate tomatoes. I still don't care for them, but I'll eat them and not make a big deal about it. This is because I have become numb to joy and sorrow and, like sex or defecation, eating is now done only out of fear and habit.

One of my old neighbors married a guy that will only eat Pop Tarts, peanut butter, and a small handful of other things I can't remember. He will also eat ground beef made with Manwich sloppy joe mix, but only if all the chunks of tomato, peppers, etc. are strained from it. He's in his 40's and they have two kids :(

I'll give some people a pass on thinking some vegetables are disgusting because the only varieties they've ever eaten were either frozen or boiled to mush and served with heaps of butter but once you're an adult and the chance comes up to try fresh produce in new ways refusing to even taste it and/or gagging at the sight is completely unacceptable.
