This is a question Picky Eaters

An old, old friend of mine will not eat/drink any hot liquid. Tea, coffee, soup etc do not pass his lips.

Which would be odd enough if he wasn't in the Army. He managed to survive a tour of duty in the Serbian mountains in winter without a brew.

Who's the pickiest eater you know? How annoying is it? Is it you?

I'm not all that fussy
I don't like the texture of peaches and nectarines (but I really like plums). With the exception of prawns, I'm really not a shellfish fan (all rubbery and slimy, blech..).

My housemate, however, is a different story. She's fussy about a lot of foods anyway, but the weirdest one is that she will not eat anything that's shaped like an animal. Eating animals is fine (she's not veggie) but animal crackers? Nope. Animal-shaped jelly sweets? Nope. And not just animals; anything that has a face or is shaped like a body part. This includes but is by no means limited to McCain Smilies and Monster Munch. Even Penguin biscuits are rejected because 'there is a penguin on the wrapper and it has touched the biscuit; and it's a called a penguin, I would think I'm eating penguin'.

[edit] I forgot to mention my boyfriend, who wasn't fussy but had fussiness thrust upon him... when he was very young he had a form of Crohn's Disease that made him allergic to pretty much everything. A specialist devised a diet for him where he was gradually introduced to foods so that they could work out exactly what it was that made him ill. It started with turkey, boiled rice, pears and (I think) carrots. Whenever he was allergic to something, he had to return to the four first foods. He once ate so much tomato soup and carrots that he turned himself yellow. Luckily he grew out of it in his teens but claims to be allergic to Brazil nuts and he loathes milk and dark chocolate.
