Anyone else like this? There's very few foods I'm afraid of trying. Compared to pretty much everyone I know, I'm like Andrew Zimmern. I'll eat random pig stomach parts, chicken feet, all kinds of seafood, spicy food, whatever. I can pretty much eat (though admittedly sometimes not enjoy) anything put in front of me that's food. I've always thought the people around me were all just closeminded idiots when it came to food. I like trying new food out a lot, it's fun.

The few foods I dislike are:
Plain white rice (the bleach makes it smell weird, almost like urine when cooking, especially the case with Minute Rice), can tolerate fairly well but definitely don't prefer plain
Mayonaise, can tolerate
Hard boiled eggs, can tolerate deviled but not plain hard boiled eggs, cannot tolerate unless I'm literally starving any variant of "salad" with mayonaise as a base except coleslaw, no egg salad, chicken salad, etc.

I don't like plain foods either for the most part. I need spices and stuff.

Anyone else in this extreme opposite spectrum of food? Where you have more food variety than the average "NT"?

I can definitely relate to this. I always crave a variety of foods. There's very few things I won't eat.

White rice isn't bleached, just overly processed with the outer brown fibre removed.

I am definitely not as adventurous as you, but I am not as picky as some people ont he spectrum might be. I have my quirks, but overall I ate quite a variety of things.

There are things I do not want to eat, but generally I am willing to try everything at least once. :)

The only example I never tasted and never will taste: Blood sausage. Maybe if I´d never seen how it is manifactured, I could at least try it, but after seeing how this is done.... :eew:
