Saint Drogo posted:unironically, picky eaters are just more evolved. probably in all other areas of life too. Actually: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Supertaster With plants in the wild, a bitter taste often means poison. As such, someone who is more sensitive to bitter tastes would have an easier time passing their genes along to the age of agriculture (especially when most people wouldn't live long enough one way or another to see the benefits of eating the amount of vegetables recommended nowdays). I've been thinking that I may legitimately be one of those. I'll try most anything once, even if I don't think it all that probable that I'll end up liking it. The set of foods that I actually like is, however, relatively small, and the foods I dislike include a bunch of common components of what you'll find at an average restaurant (ranch dressing, mayonnaise, unprocessed tomatoes, many vegetables, most beans), as well as most alcoholic drinks. Plus I prefer my bacon unsweetened and my caramel unsalted. empty sea posted:A co-worker offered me those yogurt Skittles the other day and even just biting into one made me reflexively bolt to spit it out into the trash. I'm not really down with yogurt-covered dry foods in general--cereal, trail mix, etc. I've sometimes wondered just how much similarity there actually is between the yogurt covering found nuts and raisins, and the yogurt found in the dairy aisle.

Also you're statistically as likely to be a "non-taster" as you are a "super-taster". these things are physically testable. Supertaster is a word that gets thrown around by picky eaters in the same way that picky eaters throw around things like food allergens and gluten sensitivity. It's a cool thing to say to explain why you're just being picky. Which isn't to say for sure you, specifically, are or aren't or that food allergies and gluten sensitivity don't exist. They do. It's just that way, WAY too many people just love to feel real special about why they're picky.

I made a meal kit yesterday that included "french-style potato salad" which consisted of oven roasted potatoes and carrots tossed in a mixture of rice vinegar, honey, olive oil, and garlic. The strong smell of vinegar made me gag and I was sure it was going to be absolutely disgusting. I had an urge to just throw it in the garbage. But it turned out to be delicious!

Rice vinegar is grand. Mind sharing the recipe? Oh, and speaking of Best Vinegar and cucumbers, one of my favorite snacks is cucumbers slices in rice vinegar, with a dash of salt and pepper. It’s really simple but delicious

as it was explained to me, the 7-11 wieners have been on the hot spinny thing for possibly a week under that dull thudding lamp and it was quite late when we walked past it and there were only a few left so there was a good chance they're gross and probably best to just not. they may have been embellishing the lethality.

re: yoghurt. I personally don't like sweetened plain yoghurt. It just doesn't taste right to me. Fruit flavoured yoghurt snacks are OK, just not the plain stuff. But I love a good thick Greek or Turkish yoghurt. A great thing to do with yoghurt is to add it to food that is too spicy for you, but you still want to be able to taste it's various flavours. Yoghurt, (or raita if you can get it), is perfect for that purpose. This leads me into another group of food people I hate. The "I love spicy food" people. I personally love spicy food, and will often ask for extra chillis with my dishes. People like this are not a problem. I am, however, talking about the frat bros who carry around their own bottle of 6000 scovile rated magic super duper "hot sauce", that they use to drown whatever they are eating in, so that they can taste nothing else. The kind who use "I like spicy food", as a dick waving contest, and need to prove how tough they are by how many of their taste buds they have killed. Spicyness is a taste, but it is one taste amongst many, and if all you can taste is the spicyness of your hyped up Tabasco, then you are no better than Blandy McBlanderson eating their chicken nuggets. Also, there are thousands of different types of spice, and spiciness, (wasabi tastes different to tabasco which tastes different to gochujang to name but three), all with their different tastes. So like above, if you are slathering your food with the one special magic Carolina Reaper sauce that you think makes you captain spicy, you are missing out on a world of food goodness.

If I eat vanilla ice cream, I have to have chocolate syrup. I always end up mixing it all together until it has the consistency of a Wendy's frosty before I eat it. I've done it since I was a kid. Is that a weird or picky food thing?

i remember the (white, racist) boys at my school having a chilli-eating contest, where they proved their manliness by eating raw bird's eye chillis. they were all standing around guffawing and weeping with like three chillis in their mouth when one of the other guys, who was from sri lanka, came up and shoved a whole fistful in his mouth, chewed, swallowed, and then walked off without a word. with that, the contest ended

Hot sauces are the worst because nobody except for Tabasco and Frank's can just have normal names. Sometimes I'd like something a little extra spicy and flavorful to put in a chili or something but I'll be goddamned if I'm going to buy Dipshit Dave's Flaming Anal Disaster Sauce: Garlic Taint Explosion Flavor. And if it does have a normal name it's usually just pureed ghost pepper concentrate or some poo poo. I just want some extra spice, not to have my mouth burn for the rest of the day.

The most unbearable hot wings I ever had were probably normally spicy but the sauce was so full of vinegar the smell stung your nose and they were exquisitely painful to eat. I cried the entire time, but the high was addicting I guess because I ate all of them. This was at The Celtic Hearth in St. John's, NF. The moose burgers there are incredible. Easily the best tasting burger I think I've ever had. I'd marry a man that would shoot me a moose or two just so I could eat them year round.

Reagan, (and Thatcher too I think?), had Ketchup legally classified as a vegetable in the 80s, so as to avoid having to feed school kids healthily. Is he allergic to that? But also seriously, how can you live being allergic to "all vegetables"? Are your meals just steaks and apple slices? When eh eats at McDonalds, does he have to pick out the lettuce and tomatoes and pickles? How about chips? Coz potatoes are vegetables too. Also, keeping my pedantic hat on, isn't "Vegetable" a botanically meaningless term? As in it covers a huge biologically diverse range of plants, so to be allergic to all of them probably means you are allergic to most grass, trees, bushes and flowers as well?
