I'm not sure, but I think I may be what they call a supertaster, even though there are many inconsistencies with that theory. I also found on a website for adult picky eaters a list of possible/potential causes for it. On the list was tourette's syndrome, which I have.
Perhaps you have omphaloskepsis.
There are far better ways to show how "manly" you are, and speak volumes louder than having your mouth on fire for a few minutes. Stuff like punching through brick walls, or being Segata Sanshiro.
Indeed, though needing to prove your manhood to others is proof that you lack same.
I like to eat pork chops that I find in brick walls. Sometimes when I'm running and skateboarding, I will have random fruits and perhaps a parfait. If I eat too much meat, I tend to go nutz.
We have a thread winner here folks.
And don't give me that crap about naturally smelling (Roy), do you shove your nose 1" over the plate on someone's dish when you're invited over to dinner from someone else's house?
Sexual innuendo (in
herendo) recognition failure.
Let me give you an example scenario of what drives me nuts:
.....
and this goes on for a good 3-4 minutes
You need to learn to tell people to f*ck off and/or find some new friends.
I will tell you every thing, every last little piece of food that someone has had me try, after my saying no thanks because the food did not seem appealing to me at all, I have hated. I have yet to try something that I had a pretty good idea I wouldn't like that:
A I was barely able to swallow
B Involuntarily spit out
C Start gaging/actually vomit stuff up.
I'm not being funny or joking about the gaging/vomiting, it HAS happened. In fact I have stopped trying many new things after years of trying just about everything I came across, I got burned way too many times. After a while, you have a pretty good grasp of the qualities of foods you like and don't like. Maybe I am genetically predisposed to not liking certain foods of which there have been studies to suggest such things, who knows?
So I ask, who's more closeminded?
Methinks it's you; it's all in your head, as the gag reflex isn't linked to taste and you don't have trouble swallowing food that you like. This scenario sounds like a self-fulfilling prophecy - you've decided you won't like it and not surprisingly have a exaggerated response after tasting it. That said, eat what you like and screw the douche bags that wanna shove something else down your gullet.
No, Zeon is right...there are people who will deliberately push such an issue. It's idiotic. And some people just won't take NO for an answer.
That's why God created neck punches, preferably while screaming "Eat this motherf*cker!"
I'm not a picky eater, as I'll eat just about anything (or, ahem, any
one), assuming it's actually considered food and isn't burnt to a crisp or otherwise improperly prepared. About the only two things I don't really care for are fried chicken and cooked carrots, though I'll eat 'em without complaint if they're the only things on the menu.
