Food

Post Reply New Topic

I like to eat the same things and prefereable on the same day. I don't have a meltdown or aything if it doesn't happen but it does distress me.

For exaplme if I can't eat somethinng I am familar with when I am out I would rather go hugery. Even if its say a differenet brand of something I like I still get quite nerveous.

When I was a kid I would hardly eat anything and live on gridled eggs and tomato sauce for years. I wouldn't say new foodd frigfhtens me exatcly but I'm very wery of it. Althou I did try sushi for the first not long ago, which took alot of courge, on my part but I do tend to eat the same things coz I feeel safe with them.

Does any one else feel like this?

I don't really. I like to eat. There are some foods I don't like. I don't like oversalted, overflavoured/spicy, fatty food. I do enjoy hot pepper to some extent.

I am the opposite. I love pizza for example but if I had to eat it every day I wouldn't love it after a while. I love food and will try just about anything. The only thing I will no longer try is anything that used to swim in a lake or ocean. Every time I have tried any seafood it was nasty.

I have a bit of a food obsession. While this revolves more around finding and learning recipes rather than eating it, it does mean that I tend to eat new foods all the time. I think I'd get bored and not eat if I ate the same thing all the time.

I used to be like that, I didn't like to try new things - especially not when eating out since it meant locking my food choice for that meal into something I might not like. I've gotten much better in my old age about it though. Some of it was stuff like going to work and being so far away from anything I knew I just had to try something new or get dizzy with hunger. Turns out I actually did like ham, and mustard.

I also think my sense of taste has simply changed with age. I find some of what I used to eat tastes vile now. Especially candy I used to like, so much of it tastes so horribly sweet just the taste makes me want to throw up. I am still not fond of trying new things unless there's a sampler platter. I really dislike risking the chance my meal will be edible.

YES.

my diet consists of mostly childrens cereals. and pizza. im 25. >.<

When I was a kid, I had some problems with trying new foods, but this seems to just be confined to super-healthy-fusion-cooking-Jamie-Oliver crap like those "salads" my sister sometimes cooks up with buttloads of balsamico vinegar and stuff right now...

i've never liked horseradish and wasabi due to the strong taste, same goes to mustard (no matter the intensity it still blocks out all other tastes)

i've had a strong dislike for grapes for a long time, however i've started to eat them again. It might be connected to an experience in kindergarten where I ate a bunch of grapes and became sick (high fever) shortly after.

I have a dislike for cheese (not cream cheese), especially the stronger types. The mild types (chedda, pizza topping, parmesan, havarti etc.) i've been eating for 2-3 years now.

And lastly eggs. I haven't been eating eggs since early childhood (also seemingly connected to sickness), especially not with a soft-boiled yolk. The white was OK, but I didn't like the yolk at all. about 11 years ago I started eating scrambled eggs, a few years later I started to eat fried eggs (but still only if fried on both sides) and last year I started eating soft- and hardboiled eggs again

I love to cook, and I love to eat (a bit too much so), I like trying new dishes and when I lived with my parents I ate all kinds of food. but, since I moved out that has changed, now that I'm left to my own devices when it comes to cooking I've noticed that the variety of food that I eat has decreased greatly. it's not that I hate other food, it's just that when I find something I like I tend to eat it over and over and over again... it's probably caused by the need for "sameness" which seems to be a pretty common AS trait, just like with food, I tend to wear the same clothes everyday and listen to the same music everyday.

I was never like that but I ate the same foods at places growing up. At Dairy Queen, it was always chocolate dipped cone. At fast food restaurants it was always hamburger and fries, plain hamburger and orange soda. Buffets it be mac and cheese and mashed potatoes, jello, pudding, chocolate moose, cottage cheese, cantaloupe or lime, watermelon, but I mostly ate mac and cheese. Then it be ice cream with sprinkles. I never wanted to try anything new and it be rare if I did.

One time at Dairy Queen, we were waiting in line and mom saw a little girl with a red dipped cone. Mom pointed out to me she has a red dipped and I got curious in it but didn't try it until next time we were there. I liked it and had that every time now.

In my teens I gradually started to eat different foods because I realized how much I was missing out on.

But I prefer the same foods now because I am on my own and it's easier than being in the supermarket for three hours deciding on what to buy. So if I stick with the same foods, we be in there for thirty minutes and be out. And since I have a hard time deciding on what to eat, I just stick with the same foods. My husband thinks I am a picky eater but I should start telling him if he wants to know what a picky eater really is, look at his niece. Now that is a picky eater. She will not eat lot of foods that is given to her but me I will eat almost anything.

Yeah, I'm a repetitive eater but not a picky eater. I had a pretty restricted diet as a kid because I was ridiculously picky. Today I just prefer my routines rather than actually fearing new foods.

I'm also very repetitive with music. I'll just hit the restart on a song I like while driving for...oh,..an hour. My ability to try new music is also limited.

Back when I lived in Montana, I hardly went grocery shopping because it took up my time and disrupt my routine so I always went home after work. I would always plan it and then be there for a few hours deciding what to buy. Then I'd end up getting too much and almost spending half my paycheck.

Then I met my husband after I moved here and he did the grocery shopping and he'd buy the same stuff. He bought different things too sometimes. I found out how much easier that was to buy the same stuff than walking around the store looking at food and decided what to get or thinking what kind of food I should buy. It saved me so much time.
