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?

And while we're at it...
Could everyone stop saying "can't" when they mean "won't"?
You can't eat something when eating it means a visit to the hospital. It's not "can't" when you simply don't like it. It's not "can't" when you've got an obsessive-compulsive quirk that you only have because it's easier to put up with than to defeat. It's not "can't" when it's an affectation. It's not "can't" when you just choose not to, for whatever reason. It's not even "can't" when it'll give you an hour on the loo.
If eating it when starving means a greater, not lesser, chance of survival, then it's "won't".
Umm...
...I don't like pears very much, but pears and parmazan is nice.
