I hate picky eaters. I especially hate the fucking kids who are on what I call the "white diet". They only eat bread, noodles, rice or cheese. If my kid did that, I'd freak out.

My 300 lb fatty cousin came over today and she tried to serve some bullshit she was trying to pass of as pallela but in reality it looked like she had just shit in a bowl and heated it up. The thought of her sweaty, disgusting, smelly ass getting anywhere near my food makes me gag so I had to pretend that I did not like shrimp, which in reality is one of my favorite foods. Ugh - she has really bad sleep apnea and I hope one of these nights she does not wake up. No one in the family likes her anyway, and all she has are her 14 cats. We ordered pizza after she left lol.

>>906915
>had just shit in a bowl and heated it up.

I've been found out.

>>906915

Stevie?

My sister only eats junk food. Pizza, mac & cheese, burgers, etc. Once she ordered a cheeseburger from Wendys and they put mustard on the cheese. She only likes mustard on the BOTTOM bun, so she wouldn't eat it.

Sad thing is, she's still really thin.

>As I'm setting the table, my 16-year-old cousin walks in, looks at the food on the stove with obvious disgust and proclaims "I hate shrimp," followed by "what did you make for me?"

You could write the number of a local delivery place on a piece of paper and hand it to him if he says that to you.

I can't stand people who will just eat ANYTHING, and then call someone "picky" for not liking something.

I loathe picky eaters, being a die hard foodie myself.

>>906928
How old is she? If she's under early to mid 20's and not very physically active, you should hit that before she turns into a fatty.

>>906905
lol, I'm not crazy about shrimp but I'd just be damned happy someone made seafood paella for me. No one in my family really cooks... well I'm learning bit by bit myself. Damn brats never realize how good they have it.

>>906905
You are supposed to ask people what they like to eat before you start planning the meal.

Kind of hurr durr, there. Unless, you thought the 16yo cousin was supposed to be 3 timezones away and was not supposed to be there.

>"What did you make for me?"

Milk stew. Combine a cup of milk and a cup of water. boil

I had a roommate who was not only vegan, but intent upon eating only organic food.

Needless to say, she rarely ate anything I made. I wanted to slap her. Many times.

>>906980
Especially when you are thinking of serving seafood. Most people can't stand seafood.

>>906980

There's some sense. Of course the cousin should have just shut up and eaten the food. But it's not that hard to find out what people don't like to eat.

>"what did you make for me?"

a big heaping helping of HARDEN THE FUCK UP!


i'm not so much offended by the cousin's dislike for shrimp. but expecting something else made to suit his wants--like you're some sort of short-order cook, is beyond my emotional tolerance levels.

>>907984

"Most people can't stand seafood"

I think that many countries in the world would disagree with that statement....

I'll agree that a lot of people in the west aren't fans of seafood. However, I have found that literally everyone I know who claimed they didn't like seafood felt this way simply becasue they've never had decent seafood. If you get some nice fresh fish (or shrimp) and do a good job cooking it, I'll bet you will find yourself a few seafood converts.

>"what did you make for me?"
A KNUCKLE SANDWHICH. PUNK.

Seriously, that's not really being a picky eater as much as being a spoilt brat. The nerve of these kids!

I'm a picky eater. ):

but, if I don't like whats being served, I just don't eat, I don't complain about it either. it's my problem, not everyone elses.

I was watching a repeat of Hell's Kitchen and they had to make dishes for some spoilt shit's "sweet 16th". So the appetizer on one team was shrimp.

SHE HAD NEVER TRIED SHRIMP BEFORE. SHE WAS CALIFORNIAN AND 16. WHAAAT.

and she picked it up and took the teeniest little scratch of a bite from it like it was going to somehow poison her. I raged so fucking hard. Being a picky eater is one thing, having an automatic distrust/disgust of anything you've never tried is something else, and then to have a party at a restaurant run by someone who is considered srs bsns in the food industry and have what her mother described as "simple tastes"? Jesus motherfucking christ, just send her to fucking McDonalds instead if she can't recognise a half-decent plate of real food when she sees it.

16, never tried shrimp. I can't fathom it.

Im picky in the fact i wont eat frozen breaded fish that's been oven cooked or small frozen prawns, they just make me feel physically ill . Love king prawns tho and freshly made battered/breaded fish that's been fried not baked.
I just hate ready made convenience food, mum used to be a good cook till she started buying pre frozen just have to heat up foods.

>>908182 she picked it up and took the teeniest little scratch of a bite from it like it was going to somehow poison her.

ITT: edgy cool oldfolk

FUCK YOU!

I'm not a picky eater. I just don't want to eat shit I don't like. Is it that difficult to comprehend? I'll fucking bitch slap the next person that calls me a picky eater!!!!

....sorry, I had pizza for breakfast and as a result my blood sugar levels are tanking right now and I'm starting to hulk out. :3

kids pissed there is no bacon

>>906995
My old roommate was an anorexic vegetarian who kept kosher.

>>908180
It's still rude and everybody notices it. They just don't want to fight with you about your choice to be retarded.

Man the fuck up and eat new foods, people. You aren't five years old. Fuck you and your bad bad manners.

>>908203
Okay...you're not a picky eater. You're just childish, stupid, and rude.

I personally do not like shrimp. Or pretty much any other shellfish. I have tried many times, yet I still don't like shrimp. I love fish, I eat squid, but shrimp, I don't know, I just don't like them.

So, would /ck/ rage at me?

>>908187
RRRRAAAAAGEEEEEEEE dammit the whiny little bitch monkeys who won't even try something should be slapped around with a raw octopus dipped in cat vomit. And then locked in a dark closet and starved and given only the food they hate most and won't touch and claim makes them vomit.


...yes, traumatic personal experiences. JUST TRY IT DAMMIT, YOU SHIT!!!!

Just a little tip on ettiquette for all the "picky eaters" here:
If somebody has cooked you a meal, and they unknowingly included an ingredient you don't like--if you aren't allergic to it--just eat it and don't complain. Anything else is intollerably rude.

>>908238
lol ur sarcasm detector is broken

Do you eat whale blubber? Meat from a pig's face? Pig's feet? Dog?

Good job about being a picky eater, then condemning others for not liking certain things also.

>>908264

I'd eat it, or at least try it.

>>906905
My boyfriend's brother pretty much just eats meat, rice and potatoes. I didn't know that the first time we invited him to dinner... I spent 5 hours making some kickass chili and when he gets there he tells us he doesn't eat beans. Who the hell doesn't eat beans?!

>>908264
How about claiming the thought of goat meat makes you gag, all the while while gnawing on a leg of lamb? Or eating lobster but refusing to try shrimp? Or eating surimi, but refusing to try a fillet of pollock?

>>908275
wow
beans dont even have a real flavor in the chilli
your boyfriend was raised like shit on shitty food, tell his parents they suck ass.

i was picky about vegetables in my food until I started forcing myself to eat them. it was bad because I'd eat soup and leave celery in the bowl among other things so at the end there was always just a small pile of vegetables

oh lol what a dumb kid I was, but yeah I grew out of that when I realized I was just avoiding them because I didn't know what it was or what it would taste like

>>908264
I have never eaten them, but if some one was making dinner, I would at least try them.

>>906905
True actually... Since I started going out with my boyfriend he's started eating a lot of new stuff.

>>908279
You're expanding the problem beyond the current situation of information that was given to us.

How can you blame a person for electrical impulses in their brains that tell them what is good and what is not, which then trigger a response to a food? You can't, unless you are short-sighted and/are shallow.

>>908287

http://listverse.com/miscellaneous/top-10-disgusting-foods/

Really.

>>908303
Yes, really. Infact, there is only one thing I would never try, any thing with maggots in it (like that maggot cheese). And even then, it's not because I'm afraid of the taste, it's because I'm phobic of maggots.

>>908303

I, along with many other people in /ck/ would happily try most if not all of that stuff. There are likes and dislikes, and there is being a picky eater. They aren't the same.

You take what you're given and you'll fucking like it. If people don't do this, they can make their own food.

>>906984
i lol'd
>>907984
i dont know about that sonny.

>>908308

Having a phobia about eating a food is a related process to those who cannot eat certain foods which labels them "picky." Do a little reading, and realize you fall under the very same category as being a picky eater; even if you think it's a phobia. But my opinion still stands: labeling others about being picky when there are foods out there people will not eat is sad; even if it's a "phobia."

>>908318
It's not a phobia of food with maggots in it, its maggots period. Really bad experience as a child. If I didn't have a phobia of maggots, I would try foods with maggots in them. As it stands, I hear that cheese is really good, and I would ejoy trying it... but knowing there are maggots in it makes me freak out a little.

If I were only 'phobic' of foods with maggots in it, and not of maggots, then your point would stand. How ever, it is maggots in general. Grubs I'm fine with oddly enough, I would try one of those HUGE grubs, but maggots (specifically fly maggots) terrify me.

>>908342
I should have said "especially fly maggots" rather then "specifically fly maggots"

Picky eaters make me fucking RAGE! My brothers girlfriend is by far the pickiest eater ever. Her diet consists of: Junk foods, cereal, American-Italian food (still somewhat limited to just pasta) and very very select meats.

THAT'S IT! Literally, nothing else. The only beef she will eat is a Filet, WELL done. Donesn't even touch any fruits or vegetables. I have made so many good things while she is over: salad, burgers, authentic mexican tortillas with home made salsa, sashimi tuna, etc,etc and she won't touch a thing. Fucking pisses me off.

And no, I can't just "accommodate" her when she comes over to eat because all I could make is pasta or filet every fucking time.

Immature bitch needs to grow the fuck up.

>>908356
I should have said "I'm a sniveling little faggot" rather then "especially fly maggots"

i had to grow up in a state of constant rage because of my mother.

"ARE YOU COOKING MUSHROOMS I HATE MUSHROOMS THEY STINK"
"WHAT IS THAT PARMESAN IT STINKS"
"WHAT SMELLS LIKE ROSEMARY IT FUCKING STINKS"
"WHY DO YOU HAVE TO USE FRESH BASIL USE DRIED IT DOESN'T STINK"


EVERYTHING THIS BITCH DOESN'T EAT SMELLS APPARENTLY.
CAPS LOCK RAGE

>>908356
>>908418
I should have said "than" rather then "then"

I don't mind picky eaters, it's really their loss. I feel bad when someone won't try something I make but again, it's their loss. What pisses me off are rude picky eaters. "What else did you make me?" "That smells like shit" "Why would you make that? No one likes that".

>>906905

theres a million ways to skin a cat, and an equal amount of ways to cook EVERYTHING

lots of people dont like a certain food just because they havent had it prepared decently or in a way they can enjoy

thats like me going on one bad date and saying "well i just dont like girls now"

What pisses me off as a picky eater is that if I quietly just don't eat something or pick out what I don't like my ex's mother would throw a fit. I never asked her for anything special and usually if there was something I didn't like I wouldn't put it on my plate so someone else could have it but she would always go apeshit. I understand that she went threw the trouble to make us food but I don't see what is so wrong about just quietly skipping something you don't like.

>>908463
nothing, she's a bitch. that's all.
i always got shit for not eating certain things at family dinners, but they didn't freak out they just said simple things like "you should try it.." and hell, they were right. i avoided things just because I hadn't had them before. but eventually they stopped saying anything because they knew i'd tried something and didn't like it, etc.

>>908303
Of these, I'd try the rat, penis, and MAYBE the monkey brain. Everything else is a little too over the top for me

my fucking shithead of a nephew only eats hotdogs and bread not sure but i think he may do cheese and pizza also. that's the most sickening diet that i can think of for anyone to live off of.

My boyfriend picks on me for being picky but I just don't like eating weird shit. I don't like seafood period, I haven't for almost 20 years now. I also don't like eating anything outside of beef/lamb/chicken/pork/venison/buffalo and no internal organs from any animals. I'm also incredibly picky about textures. I love eggs but the texture makes me want to puke unless they are scrambled or mixed in with something else so I can't eat them so anything that had an egg like texture I really can't eat.

I'm also picky about fat, I don't care if the steak cost $100, I'm going to cut all the damn fat off of it, sorry.

My boyfriend is a bit picky eater it's so hard to have a good meal with him
He likes chips, mozzarella pizza, chicken nuggets, spaghetti bolognese, plain pasta, instant flavoured noodles etc and his mum lectures on nutrition!
If I make him something with vegetables it's painful to watch him trying to eat them, he stares at it for a while then eats it whole without chewing

My aunty is similar but she eats healthily as she's a vegetarian hippy but she does has issues, like cucumber, if a salad has had cucumber picked out of it she says she can smell it. When she was younger she only ate boiled potatoes and chicken!

>>908494
Lets hope he chokes on those veggies. Should teach him to chew it properly next time.

My mom hates seafood. I'm convinced she had some bad fish sticks when she was 4, and has just refused to try any other seafood for 50 fucking years after that. Because of that I went pretty much my entire life without trying fish, until I was out on my own.
To this day I still go over to my parents house once a month and make my dad a meal with seafood, because he loves it.

i'm in no way picky - I dont like mushrooms, dont like what little taste they have, dont like the texture - but if chopped up finely enough that i dont notice them i'll eat the dish happily...

but my sister... good grief

both me and sis have moved out from my 'rents and live alone right now - but back at the 'folks she would have a new thing she refused to eat per week... and last weeks nasty could just as well be this weeks 'i want'.

i hate seafood, and would react much the same way, only i wouldn't expect anyone to cook an extra meal for me just because i dont like what's serve.
i'd just cook my own meal or order in some food instead.

My nephew:
Doesn't eat cheese unless it's on pizza.
Doesn't eat chicken unless it's in nugget form.
Doesn't eat anything that swims.
Doesn't eat spicy food.
Doesn't eat pasta.
I can't recall him ever eating a vegetable.
I'm probably forgetting stuff, but my sister and her husband are both picky eaters, and he got all those genes and then some.

>>908573 Doesn't eat pasta.

wtf

>>908573
The worst of both worlds, eh? See my previous post about locking him up in a closet and starving him until he gladly eats a raw fish wrapped in chicken skin.

enjoy having your boyfriend break up with you because you have no taste. fucking dumb cunt

>>908179

>>908573
my nephew and niece don't eat tomatoes unless it's on a pizza.

My 9 year old cousin, will NOT eat anything except McDonald's, In n Out Burger, Kasper's and a FEW things that my grandmothers makes. If she doesn't get it she throws a fit till she does. She is also getting up into the obese category but my aunt believes in the "I'd rather give it to her then listen to her scream" card.
So we're at my grandmother's for dinner and my grandmother makes her wonderful cheesecake. This cheesecake is like HEAVEN! Everyone in the family knows it, everyone except the 9 year old. So my grandmother offers her some and she says she's never tried it and that she probably won't like it. She's got that "won't try it because she thinks she won't like it" attitude.
So she sees us all eating it and she finally whines that she wants to try it, so at the table we give her one piece. She puts it in her mouth, makes a face and then, with no manners at all, just opens her mouth and lets it fall out of her mouth onto the table.
I was so horrified at not only the poor manners but the treatment of food I had grown up with that I stood up from the other end of the table, reached over and slapped her across the face as hard as I could.
She started to wail and I got yelled at but my Grandfather thanked me saying if I hadn't done it, he would have done it, and worse.

Guess I'm pretty guilty here, myself.
I never liked eating anything even slightly burnt, and I hated beans, peas, cabbage, and... well, pretty much anything green.
My parents' philosophy was, "If you get hungry enough, you'll eat whats in front of you."
..and yea, after quite a few nights of going hungry and learning that whining and griping about it was useless, I learned to love it all.
I can look back now, and I still don't know how the hell I ever hated brussell sprouts. Fucking delicious <3

I was a really picky eater when I was growing up. Typical kid behaviour, I guess.

As I got older, I tried new things, just to try them. My mom/grandmother usually try to cook food I'll eat (there's only a few things I don't like, like meatloaf). Bless my grandmother for this, though: my whole family loves her chicken and rice casserole. I just don't care much for it, so I'd always say I wasn't hungry, or try to stomach a small portion. She figured out pretty quick that I didn't like it, and started leaving out some of the cooked chicken just for me. My family rocks.

I won't eat anything unless it's covered in semen.

>>908275

too bad that program wasnt started a few years before that paying customer dropped a load of man jam in your mother.

>>908596

He doesn't really care. If anything we joke I'm a cheap date because I don't order the $50 lobster plate.

Granted, I try some shit once in awhile, he made me try sushi, never again. :S

I'll eat pretty much anything (save for moldy [exception being foods that are supposed to be moldy], burnt, or most really synthetic foods like Twinkies).

My one thing is raw tomatoes. When I was little I didn't like them, so my dad would punish me by making me eat a bunch of them. Now it's drilled into my brain to gag at the taste of them. Nevertheless though, I will still try a small bite every summer just in case my tastebuds change their mind.

>>906905
I hate everything about chicken. :(

How do you stop being a picky eater anyway, I don't like most foods to the point of being physically sick if I have to eat them and it sucks because I feel like such a faggot whenever I go out to eat at a restaurant or food shopping. I have to go shopping for food today actually and I'm putting it off because I don't want to roll up to the checkout with a cart full of various pizza products again.

>>908680

Simply try new/other foods and see if you like them or not.

Tastes change as people age. Things you thought were gross when you were a kid might be enjoyable now.

Also, what 908176 said: if you don't like a particular food, it might be because it wasn't fresh or was cooked poorly. For years I thought I hated Crawfish Etouffee. It turns out, I only hated Etouffee made by my friend's mom. At the time, hers was the only version I had ever tasted. For whatever reason it was awful. However, I can cook it myself or get it at a restaurant and it's great! It turns out that I didn't hate Etoufee at all. I hated her particular version of it.

>I don't want to roll up to the checkout with a cart full of various pizza products again.

Then do what I do.

Steal it.

I always tell them I made them fries and burgers, all they have to do is go to goddamn Burger King and buy it.

Hah, a parent who allows a child to be a picky eater gets what they deserve.

I have a housemate who refers to vegetables as "plant life". He subsists on a diet of tinned chilli, pizza, instant curry and rice, and refuses to try anything that's not red or brown. He will not eat vegetables, has a weak heart, terrible-smelling poop and will probably be dead by 30. He doesn't see the connection.

I wasn't that big of a picky eater when I was growing up (with the exception of most fish, i just wouldn't go near it) but I was crazy about if my food was too hot. Like with soup, if the bowl was hot, it was too hot to be eaten. Same with tea, sometimes i just put ice cubes in it to make it lukewarm. Shit like that.
Goddamn i was weird though. Glad I grew out of it.
