Food Likes and Dislikes

Prawns/shrimp, and peanut butter. I'll eat anything else, including peanuts and other crustaceans. This does tend to rule out most Thai food though.

I don't usually have a problem with taste. I have serious problems with texture, though. I can't stand anything slimey, or wiggly. Like mushrooms. Tomatoes are right out, too, unless made into a sauce. Anything that falls into the 'DO NOT LIKE' category sets me into a gagging fit.

I'm vegetarian on and off, sometimes vegan. When I am eating meat, I usually refrain from red meat. When I do eat it, it has to be rare. Bloody rare. Otherwise it tastes dead to me. (Yes, yes, I know it IS dead.)

I can't stand any kind of meat. The texture, the smell and the fact that it comes from animals all make it extremely unappealing to me, and explains why I've been a vegetarian for the past two years. Same goes with fish and seafood. Also, I dislike certain kinds of cold vegetables, which is why I won't often have salad unless it's room temperature or warm.

I can not eat food that is too spicy or hot at all! But I love to eat things when they're cold. They taste better than when you warm them up. Also texture. I can like or dislike certain foods because of their texture.

I love pretty much all types of tomato sauce, but can't stand tomatoes otherwise.

This has been getting better lately. I used to choose foods not because I liked them but because I didn't dislike them so much that I couldn't derive any sustenance. To this day, I'm partial to crunchy, simple, dry foods.

My family is fond of chicken. Unfortunately, I just can't eat the "good parts" (dark meat or anything moist). I eat the parts no one else really likes, to the point that when I had occasion to eat paper (...I'm a writer, okay?), my first thought was "tastes like chicken." I still maintain that it tastes like chicken. What else is that dry and yucky?

Mushrooms... I can't even touch them. I used to have a meltdown at the thought of them. I've gotten better about this. When I went to a restaurant with my dad and learned too late that what I'd ordered had mushrooms, I managed to not have a meltdown and instead trade with Dad. The staff think I'm allergic. Dunno what I would've done if I'd been at anywhere less than full capacity and if I hadn't been able to swap.

Nowadays, it's better. I've even recently eaten onion rings and burgers with veggies on them. (Cooked vegetables, however, are always inedible. I've eaten a little steamed broccoli before, but mostly it's yucky.)

Cooked onions are especially bad. (And who eats raw onions?)
Meat is iffy. I like burgers. Sometimes chicken is okay, sometimes ham is okay. Pork and steak are impossible, but for some reason people keep cooking them for me. I believe I end up explaining to the same people that I don't eat pork (or steak) every couple of weeks. It's enough to make me want to go kosher, except that wouldn't help with steak. It's enough to make me want to go vegetarian, except that I love burgers.

Raisins... yeugh. No thanks. And so, no thanks to otherwise pleasant pastries and stuff.

But luckily, I have enough things I can eat now to find things I like and to eat a balanced, nutritious diet.

The texture of chicken when chewing. ARGRGRHRGHRGRHGRRGHRGHRG makes me shudder like fingernails to a blackboard. I like chicken breast but I have to chew it a couple of times and then swallow to not shudder and go into a frenzy.

I also love carrots raw but hate them in a casserole. I'll only ever eat them cooked if they are steamed or boiled and still sort of hard.

likes-
for 20 years or so i ate the same sandwich every day at work- whole wheat bread, mayo on one side, onion ketchup on the other side, cheddar cheese, some kind of meat, a fried disc of spiced fake egg [eggbeaters]. this was nearly the perfect food. but for a few months one year, i became nauseated at the mere thought of the ketchup, so i ate the sandwiches sans the red stuff. but after a few months, i fell in love with ketchup again [a lover's quarrel?] for the duration.

dislikes-
i could never stand olives or cucumbers. raw anything=blecch. underdone meat is gross- it must be well-done. greek food. bitter beer, or bitter anything else.

I'm well known to be a picky eater, but in reality, I'm pretty easy to please. I don't mind having simple things for meals.

I don't like dressings of -any- kind. The smell of most dressings is gross to me, and some make me gag and feel nearly sick. My first whiff of ranch dressing, I remember it. I almost puked. I had to smell it every day at the school cafeteria! Everyone had it, everyone loved it! Horrible. It's popularity only increases. I cannot escape it! People dip their pizza in it, dip their fries in it! Next thing I know, I'll be seeing it in pornography! Run awaaaay!

I'm very particular about what I eat, but as I said, at the same time I'm easy to please. I just about never eat anything home made unless I was there when it was made. Very strange, and it confuses most people. I can't give them an explanation because I don't understand it myself. I don't like most condiments, see dressings above. I don't like seafood (except for thin crispy fish sticks). I like meat, but am picky about it (no pork, meat must have little fat/cartilage, must be well done). Bacon for some reason is an exception to the requirements inside the parenthesis, if it is crispy and not soggy. The list of dislikes is actually too long to go through.

It is hard being a picky eater. Not hard by yourself, but hard with others. A lot of things I don't like, come with meals by default, so it is easy for my order to get messed up. Eating over at other peoples place, with them having made something, I usually can't eat it because it has a lot of things I just don't like on it or in it, that most people are okay with.

I used to be kind of picky with the food touching thing, but now it isn't a big deal to me. I only think about it with some things, and these days, I'm mostly over that too. I used to mix various things as a kid (and still do), because some things just aren't that good on their own. The food touching thing only bugged me with things I didn't want mixed at all.

I like Indian food esp, Chicken Tandoori..
I dislike- Tuna,Ckicken,Egg salad
