Women
My ex always refused to eat my love pump juice so I decided to slip some of my manly spunk into her cup of tea one day. She drank it all, didn't complain and didn't even seem to notice, so it just goes to show, if you try something you might actually like it.

Reader, I married him
Mr. BiscuitBiscuit doesn't really like food.
He stopped eating fruit and veg at the tender age of 3, and, many years later, still won't touch them.

having said that, he will make an exception and eat the following fruit and veg: chinese restaurant seaweed, mango chutney and jaffa bloody cakes. yeah, I know, I know.

also, he won't touch couscous (so good they named it twice), pork, lamb, seafood, yoghurt, I'm going to stop there because it's upsetting me.

I want you to know that I happen to be a damn good cook too and it's wasted, WASTED on him.

bah.

Fray FUCKING Bentos
An ex of mine would ONLY eat:
Bread (a bag of 6 cheap white rolls was "lunch")
Fray Bastard Bentos pies (which smelt like cat food, urgh).
Potatoes, boiled, no butter

He claimed to be allergic to pasta, hated rice and apparently most pesticides made him vomit, and would bring the aforementioned pies round to my flat as I wasn't likely to be cooking (something I take pride in) anything he'd like, being a veggie.
We lasted 2 months.

I have an aversion to cauliflower due to finding a caterpillar, lightly steamed, in a floret. The mere thought of it makes my stomach churn.

Jahweh
I used to know a middle eastern deity who had a hang-up about eating pork because they have a cloven hoof, but didn't chew the cud (Lev 11:3-8). What a nutter.
Oh and I used to sit next to someone at work who wouldn't eat strawberries because 'the seeds were on the outside'.

my dad's friend
has twin boys who are now about 9 but who were very premature when born.

one is lovely and perfectly normal.

the other is as skinny as a rake and as translucent as an opal; he will ONLY eat pink ham and marks and spencer milk chocolate buttons. anything else makes him cry, wheeze and hyperventilate. his mother has to coax him to eat the ham and then the chocolate.

did i mention he is now 9 years old?

she has to follow him around the house feeding him with chocolate buttons like a baby.

oh, did i mention he is NINE?

every time i see them (fortunately not often) i feel like kicking him in the arse...

Granny's best boy!
As a child I was a c*nt. I used to do things to make my brother look bad and me look brilliant.
One occassion of this we were visting my gran where she would always cook a full sunday dinner (even until the year she died)
My brother used to refuse most veg in a typical 6year old child way where as I used to eat all my veg to the sounds of "look at your older brother - he's such a good boy" and "why can't you be more like him."

My brother is now seeing therapists about depression and cites the comparisons to me as being a leading cause.



kids 'eh?

I was a fussy eater...
...my mother cured it by making me go hungry if I wouldn't eat.

All of this "ooh, even looking at a bit of carrot makes me ill" is just self-indulgent rubbish. I can acccept vegetarianism and even vegans as long as it is to do with the persons ethics. I can accept that some foods can actually make some people ill when they have proper allergies.

But anyone who says "I'd starve rather than eat XYZ" has never been really hungry.

Stupid cook
A few years ago I got a job working for some cattle musterers in the middle of nowhere in Australia. The previous cook had been sacked. She had applied for the job in Darwin which was a two day journey from the camp. When she arrived she was told that she had to cook three meals a day, and all meals would have beef as the main component. At this point she said "But I'm a vegetarian. I can't touch meat" She was sacked on the spot. I wish I'd had the opportunity to ask her what she thought she would be cooking on a cattle ranch... for cowboys.

The dreaded crisp
I know a guy who is afraid of crisps. Yes, I mean those delicious multi-flavoured Walkers variety. Potato crisps just freak him out. McCoys even more so.

On the other hand puffed corn snacks he can handle.

The smell of fish
Wow. I like this story so much that having now read it twice in this QOTW, posted by the same poster, I thought anyone who missed it the first two times might like me to copy and paste it for them to enjoy again.

"I had an ex and she hated eating whole fish.
She didn't like the look of them with their beedy eyes and scales.

But that's pretty normal...

The weird thing is she even hated live fish, the fish in finding nemo and if I made a fish impression with my face.

Still didn't stop her smelling like one when I went down on her!

tea
Adding milk to the teabag before adding hot water is wrong.

I can just about cope with milk being added before the teabag is removed, as long as it has been properly stewed first. Basically, if at any point the tea looks like diluted milk with a teabag floating in it I'd rather not have it at all.

(edit)

Also, I wouldn't eat raisins/sultanas/currents for years as a child after my dad told me they were rabbit droppings.

I've have various allergies over the years
and always to foods that I really like, darn it! I used to be allergic to chocolate, now it's fresh strawberries (cooked ones, and jam, are ok). It's a combination I inherited from my parents: my dad can't have chocolate, and my mum is allergic to strawberries.

My mum's sister gave them a box of chocolate-covered strawberries for a wedding present.

They don't speak anymore (my mum and her sister that is, not my mum and dad).

oh, another - Pizza without Cheese
Yes, you read that right. I over heard this type of phone call many times during my Uni years

"Hello, Pizza Delivery? Can i order a Ham and Cheese pizza please, but without the cheese..... yes, without the cheese..... yes, thats right.... i know... yes, just ham.... no cheese at all.... yes i know it'll only have a tomato base... no cheese at all.... yes, i am aware it'll be the same price...." yada yada yada

He hated the texture and warmth of the melt cheese. He would on occasion, if bet, eat a bit of solid cheese. What the difference was i don't know....

Raisins
Baby Brocky #2 loves raisins.

I love them less when they appear in her shitty nappies looking exactly the same as how they went in her mouth.

Should rinse them off and give them her again I guess - would save a few bob ;)

Your mum's correct in saying you'll like them by 30.

I was very picky with all food groups when I was younger but as you get older my theory is that you lose your sense of taste (through smoking copious amounts of fags no doubt) and then just about everything is palatable and you'll eat and try most things.

Trust me I'm a doctor*.

2 tins of tuna
3 tablespoons of peanut butter.

As a kid, my brother went through the picky eater stage
He would only eat:
Beans
Chips or other potato products
Fish Fingers
WhiteBread
Sweets

This would mean that in places like Pizza express, we would order him a double set of doughballs.

I wasn't amazingly picky. However, I wouldn't touch
Beans
Chips or other potato products
Fish Fingers
White bread

My mother *loved* us. :p She was relatively laid back about it all however.

She did try to get him to eat his vegetables with dinner. She tried for years. The "no dessert" route wouldn't deter him. Another option was to serve up the vegetables for breakfast. That didn't deter him. Final solution: he would have to sit at the table and he wasn't allowed to leave until the vegetables were eaten. He would sit there for hours playing with the stuff with his fork, using his refined 8 year old reasoning skills to attempt to persuade my mother to let him off the table.

Suddenly, there was a breakthrough. He would come to the kitchen with his empty plate and proudly show it up, boasting that he'd eaten the vegetables. My mother was very happy, serving up even broad beans didn't seem to deter him.

Two weeks later we're looking out of the window. We lived in a 3rd floor flat at the time, and the view out of the windows was rather good, and I'd spend hours looking at it, watching the sun go down. I look down at the ledge. Strange whiff. I ignore for a bit.

The smell over the next few weeks gets worse and worse. My mother finally looks out of the window and looks down at the ledge.

Decomposing vegetables. A brown coloured medley with specs of brown, green and white mould. A toxicologist would have been proud.

Turns out he'd gotten lazy and didn't throw them out far enough after the first few days.


He eats everything now, as long as it's soy, low fat, high protein and low in carbohydrates. Woo for body building.

eggz, beanz an foreign food
as a kid i had an aversion to eggs, just the fried type mind you. this leads to a child size me being asked if i'd like bacon and eggs...

me: "can i ave bacon an eggs if no eggs?"

WHAT IS IT WITH BEANS?
my cousins (living very much on the breadline) would ONLY eat the extortionatly expensive HEINZ beans
(suckers for advertising i guess) where as I (being the rich motherf*#ker that i am) hate heinz beans with a passion and will only ever buy the REALLY cheap beans - they just taste better... weird i guess.


things that (as a kid) i JUST KNEW i'd hate:

taramasalata
humous
black pudding
hot curries
sushi
avocardo
haggis
coffee

yep, you guessed it... once i worked up the courage to ACTUALLY TRY these food stuffs, i found that i'm quite fond of them...

still hate fresh/uncooked tomatoes and whole mushrooms though.

I'm most sorry for use of your much needed attention span.

Apparently they don't really dislike it until they have tried it 10 times
Small children trying things for the first time, they can't really be said to dislike something until they have tried it 10 times, or so my food Nazi sister says.

My daughter really pisses me off with the fact that she will not try anything that even vaguely resembles a fresh vegetable or piece of fruit, unless it is a potato, a banana, or a grape. I trained as a chef, and like quite a few people here I prefer my food to come as naturally as possible to my kitchen where I will do wonderful things to it (I can honestly say I have never eaten a MacDonald's Burger). I have slaved in the kitchen for hours and presented to my daughter some wonderful concoction of delight that I know she will love if she would just venture to let some pass her lips, but it is not to be and any such offerings are greeted with "Don't like it". Baby Fluffles sticks resolutely to baked beans on toast with cheese, or jacket potato with tuna and cheese, and nothing else will do, she has even been known to refuse all meals offered to her over a 2 day period rather than let anything unknown cross her lips.

But, I do confess to a certain glee when, phoning my darling child who is staying with the aforementioned food Nazi sister one night this week, I overheard the following conversation:

FNS: "Have you finished Baby Fluffles; would you like some more?"
Baby Fluffles: "Potato"
FNS: "No potatoes Baby Fluffles, you can have more Cauliflower Cheese, or would you like some couscous with Cheese Sauce"
Baby Fluffles: "Don't like Cauliflower 'n' couscous, Potatoes!"
FNS: "Have some more potatoes then Baby Fluffles".

My sister is currently writing a book on how to get your child to eat what you want them to eat :)

My Gran
My Gran always insists that she hates the taste of margerine. Something to do with in the war that's what poor people ate and there is the stigma that goes with it probably.

We can give her a massive slice of home-made cake which she will eat almost every last crumb of, until we mention that it has marge in it - she will declare that she doesn't like it any more and leaves whatever remains.

She's exactly the same with mayonnaise as well, will only drink loose tea leaves rather than tea-bags and eats ice cream like it's going out of fashion getting through a 1 litre tub a day.

She was in hospital recently with stomach ulcers. Being the caring grandson that I am, went up to visit and asked if she wanted anything. Only request - some salt for her food. She asked every visitor for it (including visitors for other patients if they could pop to the restaurant and get her some) so I had to tell the nurses to keep a watchful eye out for any suspicious packets of white powder surfacing near her bed.

not so much fussy as stupid
A few months ago I bought fixings for enchiladas. Got in and told my flatmate I was making enchiladas and did he want some enchiladas?
"No thanks I really fancied having fajitas tonight".
WTF - enchiladas are fajits just covered in sauce and cheese and about three times better. Add to this the fact that he had to go out and buy all the stuff to make fajitas. Not only did he refuse my offer of cooking but had to go to extra effort to make a version of what I was cooking. Twat.
