Exploration is ill-advised.
I am probably a hilariously hypocritical case of posting this thread given I'm a pretty bad case of picky eater, but mind you I'm considerably ashamed about it and don't in the slightest expect anyone else to adhere to my desires.

No, this is a thread about people who get really weird, angry and controlling about people not eating exactly what they eat, or just not obeying them at dinner in general. Militant vegans, militant carnivores, hypocritical vegans and carnivores, people who keep the salt and pepper shakers in a cupboard at all times and clearly only bedgrudgingly take them out on request for a guest to season a single plate with and immediately put them away afterwards... you probably know what I mean. Somehow everyone seems to have an experience with someone who gets incredibly, awkwardly and embarrassingly mad that someone else doesn't adhere to their incredibly arbitrary and white food rules. And not just because goons are all fat fucks. Let at it, bitch about these weird fuckers.

I like lettuce not just in salads, but also as hand wraps and even in soups. Wonton and dashi based soups with lettuce is delicious.

Depends on the type of lettuce I suppose. Iceberg totally sucks. Baby gem lettuce is good as are some of the more bitter and peppery ones like rocket.

Please explain how refusing to put ketchup on my sunny side up eggs makes me “callous”.

Also I don’t “get” dipping sauce. You already have sauce. It’s on the pizza. People that need to dip their already unhealthy food into a cheaper sauce that is just going to overpower all the flavour are weird. Why do people do this?

I have a a co-worker that only has salt and some baking spices in her apartment. I know this because I watched her large pitbull twice. The first time her dog was fine with me and I was there long enough to cook food and find my options terrifyingly slim. The second time he lunged at my face when I tried to feed him and then chased me across her living room and I ran out of there screaming in terror and refused to go back. He's a large dog who has even larger teeth. Those teeth look very impressive at face height, let me loving tell you about it.

I'm not saying the reason that her dog is loving unbalanced and aggressive as poo poo is related to her not eating her food with actual seasonings or condiments, but I'm also not saying it isn't. She's also a sort of aggressive and nitpicky person who eats her food plain to the point where she eats mashed potatoes with just goddamn salt, not even butter.

There's clearly something wrong with her and her dog.

I have a lot of other co-workers who are afraid of heat to the point they avoid even black pepper and my step-sister hates most seasoning but also Alfredo for some unknown reason but also loves olives and I live in constant confusion because how, how the gently caress does that make sense, but none of them own dogs that tried to eat my loving face, so I look down on them less, just a little.

Try a goddamn condiment. Train your loving dog to exist out of your bubble. Neither of those things will kill you.

I have a coworker who will not eat any kind of fruit and will tell you about it at length. "It's a texture issue," he claims. Other times he claims it's because he got so excited to meet Goofy at Disney World that he barfed up the pineapple chunks he'd had with breakfast and hasn't been able to eat fruit since. There was a bowl of oranges at an office party once and he cringed away from it like a vampire from the sun. Obviously he's also a big attention whore.

big beef city is unreasonably weird about lots of trivial things.

On topic: There are lots of people who are just as weird about texture regardless of flavour. If I invite my parents over and I'm cooking something like shepards pie I have to leave some potatoes to the side and either boil or roast them. My dad refuses to eat mashed potatoes. He won't eat pasta either but he will eat orzo. Soup has to be chunky too, he won't eat a soup that you could drink from a mug.

and I love the like raw or cooked (sauteed hopefully) the core or stem part of broccoli way more than the top. Tastes like a delectable radish and kohlrabi mix, just delicious.

we've all eaten enough pizza that the cheese/tomato is just part of the base flavour. that's how the traditional pickled jalapenos & BBQ sauce came about.

e: also, crusts. that's some serious bread to get down with no extras.

Having food preferences is fine. Being a "picky eater" generally means you failed to develop past being a toddler. I had to stop dating a woman in part because she'd only eat the same 3 things, and the whole thing came off as incredibly childish and stupid. I saw no future with her, the same way I see no future with you OP. It's best we go our different ways and remember the good times we had.

You keep writing "he" when talking about my wife.

Even though there are several different textures to raw fruit, mine won't even consider cooked fruit. Like ok, if you're not a fan of raw apples, but apple pie or applesauce?

Having heard this for so many years, my best theory is that "watery wet + sweet" is the offending texture. It's not "dry/milk fatty + sweet" like all of the pastries, candy bars, and ice cream she eats.
