I don't really enjoy drinking water like some people do, but if I fill up a jug and leave it out it's at least easy to quickly slam a glass. Jeza posted:I drink water and eat at the same time, mostly mushing it into a fine slurry. I was at a friend's house and washed a mouthful down with water and their dad said "so you're basically just a toilet?" A+ burn on me.

420 20 posted:Rich westerners with central air/heating live in self created deserts with 15% humidity due to aggressive heating in the winter and A/C in the summer (even the Sahara desert has a relative humidity of only 25%). They lose a lot more straight water (w/o electrolytes) from living in an artificially dry atmosphere Which is why they serve all their water scalding hot.

Maybe it's just a rural Australian thing that sees it as incredibly loving weird you don't just like, drink water. Aren't bottled water and water bottles major industries for a reason? It's like... I dunno, refusing to eat literally anything without ketchup, including salad and sushi. Some developing countries have issues with it mostly because they can't trust the water, or at least are raised not to, but the British have no excuse.

There was a while there I only drank water after drinking alcohol, and only a lot of alcohol. Otherwise it was all diet coke and beer. Started drinking water and it was like holy poo poo, you don't need to feel like poo poo? And now it's 2-3 liters a day on top of tea and diet cokes.

I'll be honest, I had no idea "I don't drink water" was 'a thing' until reading this thread. Sure random people here or there, way too many people with diabetes from drinking too MUCH soda, juice, beer, whatever, absolutely an issue. Yep. Flat out a good chunk of the populace saying "nope" to drinking water, period? gently caress me, that's nuts. Like...what the gently caress, drat e: also those orbitz things were pretty nasty. overly sweet and chunky. I think the first one I had, I had warm from sitting in a car too long though, if I remember right so it was like, hot chunky tapioca syrup water. Yum-O.

Eggplant is pretty much the only thing I'm still picky about. I try it every couple of years to see if my tastes have changed but no luck yet. Oh and kiwi fruits but that doesnt come up too often. They taste like vomit to me. RepeatingMeme posted:I dont hate picky eaters, their tiny little culinary world is enough of a self own that any added scorn feels cruel. Especially the people who only eat frozen foods they can microwave or fast food are incredibly sad to me. They must feel like huge babies ordering chicken fingers off the kids menu whenever they go out to eat, it sounds like an incredibly sad life to live. The water thing can make sense, it's not an issue for me where I live, but there's been a few places I've been while travelling where the tap water was loving foul and I subsided on juice/beer/soft drink til I got home. Yes bottled water exists but gently caress paying that much for water. I usually end up drinking nothing but water for days after I get back. Really surreal missing tap water that much.

if you grew up middle or lower income, a lot of food was a poor facsimile of the real thing... lovely button mushrooms, unappealing canned and frozen vegetables, mealy bland apples, low quality chicken and beef... I can understand how people develop picky tastes, when the reference point to a food has a huge gap in quality.

teen witch posted:How do you refuse to drink water She drinks bottled teas, usually artificially sweetened. Shes got a lot of weird food hang ups, and hang ups in general. I saw her only eat lamb chops for 3 months straight. Mind you, her son in law, me, a professional chef, was living in her home and cooking six nights a week before my Aussie working rights kicked in. She rarely even tried my food unless it was lamb with mint jelly and mash. Which I did make a couple times. She will eat only one thing for months, sometimes its sweet chili chips, sometimes lamb chops. Her pantry is full of every single dietary fad you can imagine, mangosteen, Manuka honey, saffron, acai powder, etc. She recently had me procure camel milk for her. She tries this stuff, hates it and moves on. Oh also shes a hoarder so all the stuff just hangs around. I am very grateful for the woman but jesus christ sometimes...

Brawn, or headcheese is delicious when properly seasoned and is a very technique heavy sort of thing to make. I can understand how it can be off putting to some, though. I make a ham hock terrine with pistachios, allspice, nutmeg, white pepper and its a really popular holiday dish. There are folks who dont know its pig ankles.

I dated some crazy aristocratic Peruvian girl who would literally only eat plain chicken, rice, and mcdonalds hamburgers with no condiments or toppings, and then cookies/cupcakes/etc. She was insane and I should have realized it based on her eating habits.

I think an important part of a relationship is food compatibility. For example, I don't like tomatoes or cucumbers in my salad so I give them to my wife. She doesn't like croutons so I'll take those. It's win win for the both of us.

Sega 32X posted:My kid saw Oscar the Grouch eat a banana pizza years ago and we tried it and now my wife and kid love banana on pizza (I'm indifferent to it, I like more traditional toppings). It gets super carmelized, so it ends up sweet and savoury. I think that's the appeal of Hawaiian as well (which he also likes).

I forgot to tell the story about the first time I went out to dinner with my now-wife and her family We went to the closest thing to a good Italian restaurant we have in the area, and I knew not to order the most expensive thing since someone else was paying for it, so I got the lamb that was only a little more than the average cost of other things. Every member of her family but her looked up from their menus to stare at me when I said the word "lamb" instead of saying the only edible animal word, "chicken" I should have known it was not a good fit from that moment alone (though my wife has gamely progressed from that background to someone whose favorite cuisine is Ethiopian so it worked out culinarily) Also I am one of those people who had a literal food aversion thanks to spending a day throwing up from the flu while the whole house filled with the aroma of a dozen pizzas being made for a big part. It took about 5 years to stop gagging when it got too near my nose, and now more than 20 years later I can finally eat tomato sauce pizza and even sort of like it occasionally, kind of!

I don't understand how never-water people are still alive. Or if they consider life worth living due to constant dehydration. I've known several, they were generally unpleasant to be around, and I only married one of them, briefly. Hotdog rules are weird, so are pizza rules. I guess it's about cultural preservation, somehow? Ketchup upsets some people. I can't enjoy eating any cold-blooded animal. Only the warm ones. Every flesh that isn't a bird or mammal is gross to me. Monster?
