Picky Eater Test

I got 2 - not very picky, I guess!

I got zero

3

Tofu and raw fish: just a lowly, not-very-picky "2"

I got a 6

20, but then I am a vegan. The only non-animal things I wouldn't eat are mayo (bleurgh), ranch dressing (why?), and Nutella (tastes of HFCS more than hazelnuts).

2, maybe 3. The raw fish had better be sushi or sashimi. I can force myself to eat beets, and I DID force myself to eat escargot......once, and that was enough.

I got 12. Mostly seafood (oysters) Yuk.

4 but I have tried everything on the list. So my preferences are informed.

I got zero as well. That is a VERY vanilla list. You shut-ins are not really living your lives, are you?

2-Brussel sprouts and watermelon

Seven. But I don’t consider myself very picky.

I modified the test because I'm a lifelong vegetarian, so not eating any of the meat, fish or seafood options is a given.

I don't do bananas, dark chocolate or blue cheese, so that makes my score 3.

I didn't see milk listed there, but there's nothing I hate more than the taste of cow's milk.

I hate unfresh, past-prime fruit and veg, too. It has to be crisp and ripe, not old, dull or mushy. Quality is so important for fresh produce.

Escargot is the only thing I wouldn’t eat on there.

Oh shit, milk IS listed there. I guess that makes me a 4, gals.

40, OP? What are you, 9 years old?

I got 1 point (bananas). Cannot countenance them. I don't love a few of the items but I could eat them, like white chocolate. I prefer dark but if it's part of a recipe I would eat it. Eggplant makes me itch in my palms and gums so I tend to avoid it.

OP has baby tastes

I agree with R10. I got a zero, then again I'll eat anything.

OP, what DO you eat?

5. Canned tuna, olives, pickles, tofu, snails 🤮

Revised list for adult tastes:

1. Casu marzu cheese

2. Andouillette

Things I will not eat under any circumstance? 2 on that list.

There are a bunch I choose not to eat (liver, cottage cheese) but if served to me at someone's house I'd be able to feign enjoyment.

They do suck though. Our advice is that you should not click on the link and whatever you do, don't read their truly terrible articles.]

R21/R22 Thanks, feel like skipping lunch now is in order.

I got six, but mainly because of all the shellfish on the list. And I hate ketchup!

10 - all but two of which I can choke down if manners require it. There are five or six more things I would prefer to skip.

No raw fish. No oysters. Ever.

R13 I know what you mean. I feel the same about champagne!

4 (it's 6, total, but I discounted avocado (allergic) and grapefruit (drug interaction.)

The culprits:

blue cheese - I don't mind it in something, I just don't like a big stinking hunk of the stuff.

liver - though I'll eat paté sometimes.

cottage cheese - again, okay as a component in something cooked, the curd-y, "cottage cheese thighs" texture is revolting

beets - because why east something I don't like when there's a world of things I do? (Now I could down it if it were served to me at someone else's table, unlike, say, lamb, which is fucking revolting.)

I got 3 and 1 of those was on there because I'm allergic to.

It's odd because the people I know who are really picky eaters are actually all fat. I find that odd.

No tripe?

No liver and no raw tomatoes.

I know I'm picky so I got 21. Steak and potatoes for me, thanks.

There's nothing on the list that I would never eat under any circumstances. It all depends on who's preparing it and how. I grew up at a time when liver was supposed to be good for you and my mother used to fry it for us and we'd eat it with ketchup--it was dry and tough and tasted like blood. Then I met a man who made me sauteed liver and onions. Love.

I’m vegan, but I don’t like tomatoes or Brussels sprouts.

My other note is that picky eaters generally like foods prepared certain ways or certain brands or styles of a food rather than not eating the entire genre.

So, a picky eater will not eat dark meat chicken, but only eat skinless chicken breast if it's been grilled.

Or will only eat Heinz ketchup

Or will only eat solid white albacore tuna in water

Or will only have a cheeseburger with cheddar cheese.

Or will eat pickles, but not on hamburgers

(You get the picture)

R30, isn’t that funny, as I’ve noticed the same thing. I know there’s not a direct causal relationship but it is counterintuitive. I think with overweight people the pickiness is because they like food that is unhealthy. I always think that skinny people who are picky eaters are trying to exert some control over their food.

I've always been a picky eater, my mom quit trying to force to try new foods when I was about 15.

My diet consists mostly of chicken, steak, rice, varied vegetables, and of course bread. I also will only eat my vegetables raw (excluding potatoes).

2 for me: canned tuna and nutella

And then you wonder why you're alone OP

I've eaten everything on the list but have no interest in eating again:

cottage cheese -- texture is vomitous

raw fish -- don't see the point

oysters/livers -- depends on preparation. Grilled oysters, yes. Liverwurst, if in Germany.

1 point-liver. Just the smell alone I do not like. Then again I have not had it in about 40 years. Maybe if it was prepared a certain way I would like it. But the way my mother made it was awful!

R36 That’s my spouse you’re describing. He will eat chicken, but only the breast. Shrimp, but not lobster, oysters, scallops, etc. Beef has to be a cut like a strip or ribeye. Salads usually need a lot of dressing. Pizzas have to be just so. Ice cream is vanilla only. And yet he does not think of himself as a picky eater but fully attuned to what he likes.

I got a 10, but I am a picky eater. I don’t like strong cheeses, mushrooms, organ meat shellfish, crustaceans or cephalopods. The chart lists only one or two of each, yet many different fruits and vegetables which I like universally.

Zero

I got a zero.

Jinx!

1 - liver. Although i love pâté

zero. I might not like some foods but that doesn't mean I'd never eat them.

I detest picky eaters, I've dated them and these finicky babies need to be slapped, and slapped Hard

I don't eat things with feathers so no to turkey and chicken.

6 for me. I've eaten liver; Mom made it with bacon and sauteed onions. It's not so much the taste as what it does in the body. I've eaten tofu but would prefer not to. Bleu cheese, which I've tried, is a big ole NO! I know there are different types of blue cheese but I can't. It tastes like Ivory soap to me. Just say no to beets.

Oh, I have eaten everything on my list except snails. I just prefer not to.

I got 73.

34 but with allergies I get 40

15, but a lifelong vegetarian.

1.... Eating snails is where I draw the line.

13 for me, mostly seafood and gut meat. I don't consider my food preferences to be that unusual.

You are a picky eater; I have discriminating taste.

I got 0.

Although this list really doesn't include foods that are really unusual or adventurous, I scored 0. Some on the list I don't particularly care for, or wouldn't choose for food safety reasons, however I wouldn't "never" eat them. I think though if you are a true picky eater, you would score high, so perhaps the list should be more generic out of fairness as it could have items on it that older generations ate, but most modern people would not (like sweatbreads or calves hearts like my grandparents ate). I can' tell you my husband would score very high as he eats basically 5 things.

Six: Cooked fish (although I'll eat canned tuna), raw fish, oysters, escargot, liver, tomatoes (raw ones, anyway.)

I got 2. Liver and escargot.

I’m very picky but only got 18

TWO. I will not eat a raw carrot. Liver and any organ meat is out of the question. I've been able to live a normal life without getting any of that crap past my lips.

I got 8. And I refuse to eat rodents and reptiles.

OP , Will you swallow cum and Rim ? that Is the burning question here .

I got a 4.

I got a 2. Nearly every adult I've ever known with food pickiness issues has also had some variety of psychological or personality disorders.

6: cauliflower, liver, Brussels sprouts, cottage cheese, tofu, milk

One. Liver

I’ve eaten it all and can eat it all if I have to but I don’t like cottage cheese(what a lack of taste), Nutella(brrrrr) and snails.

FIVE: Nutella, Oysters, Raw Fish, Snails. Liver.

FIVE: person, woman, man, camera, TV

I got 2 (snails and live) and would even eat the two if I were in a situation where I'd look like an idiot if I didn't.

Except for the white chocolate, nutella, and the watermelon, I've eaten all of the remaining items within the last month.

5: Ranch, cucumbers, white chocolate, cottage cheese, milk. But I've tried them all and can speak with authority when I say they are gross. I dislike picky eaters. It's not thin people who are picky as someone mentioned above but fatties. Fatties have a very limited, child-like palate. They don't like food, they just like eating because a lot of the shit they eat, fast food, chips, snack cakes, etc are not food but food-stuffs.

Zero. Dish it up

Nobody doesn't like Sara Lee.

I am NOT a picky eater at all! I scored a 2

I cannot stand the taste of milk and escargot is absolutely gross.

I don't eat oysters, blue cheese, coffee, liver, onions, garlic, olives, snails, and nutella (allergy) due to not liking them. Most of those I could eat if I had to. I also don't drink milk or eat tofu - but could easily if it was served.

I scored a 23 and do not give a fuck if I'm considered a picky eater. I'v earned the right to not eat what I don't like by virtue of being an adult and buying and preparing my own food.

I've^

Seriously, r79. Who gives a fuck what other people eat, as long as it doesn't smell bad.

r79, you're like those anti-mask types, "I have a RIGHT". well, you have a right to be shunned to

too.

2. Coffee and liver.

I’m genuinely shocked by those with scores over 20, as this is a very vanilla list.

Lol what a load of bullshit. I wear a mask. Why get your liver in an uproar over whether a stranger eats Brussel Sprouts R83? I don't recall asking you to dinner. And yes, I DO have the right to eat or not eat whatever I want, you fucking nut job.

I won't eat canned tuna (I cannot abide the smell), oysters (I don't like the texture), or coconut (it tastes like soap to me, as it does to many people--it's genetic). Otherwise I can eat anything on that list.

I got 11. I don't meat or fish.

I live in Portland, and frequently when I go out for dinner to a seafood restaurant for work reasons, someone insists the whole table gets oysters. I always say, "Oh please do, but none for me--you can all have mine." It's not a problem.

There are foods on this list I do not particularly care for, like cottage cheese and grapefruit, but I will happily eat them if they are served to me.

10.

CRASSUS: Do you consider the eating of oysters to be moral and the eating of snails to be immoral?

ANTONINUS: No, master.

CRASSUS: Of course not. It is all a matter of taste, isn’t it?

ANTONINUS: Yes, master.

3. Liver, beets, cabbage.

[quote]Fatties have a very limited, child-like palate.

Wrong.

No creamy or white sauces, especially vile mayo. No mustard, no melons, no olives, no tofu, no liver, no onions, no snail, and no Nutella.

Ranch dressing and mayo are disgusting

No cheese at all

Picky eaters are boring....and if you are over 16 and still there are many things that you do not eat (medical reasons aside), I do not think we could be friends

Zero, like Bodega-Cat.

Now, there are things on the list that I *don’t* eat anymore, because they are too high in sugar, like raisins. But I used to eat them and I wish I still could.

I don’t like to drink milk, but I like ice cream and milkshakes

I’m a vegetarian, so I’m doomed

5 here...that I would not eat, several things on the list that I'm not overly fond of, but I would still eat them.

Only 3 for me. 40 is way too many, OP. You should probably be put down. There's something wrong with you.

If hot dogs or bologna were on that list, I would include those with the other five I don't eat.

I will eat everything on that list except the oysters

I got 2 - liver and snails. I was almost going to count Nutella, but I don't *hate* it, I just don't go out of my way to buy it.

If andouillette were on the list, it would bump me up to 1. So, I guess not too picky.

Zero

Avocado makes my mouth itch but I take a Unisom (Benadryl in the US) and eat it anyway.

[quote]The study, conducted by researchers from Duke University, found that picky eaters are more likely to have symptoms of anxiety and depression. And the more severe the pickiness (known as selective eating) the more severe the symptoms...The study also showed that picky eating can predict future anxiety.

Other studies have shown that picky eating, similar to anorexia, is about the need for control in an otherwise difficult to cope with world - both personal control (what you put in your own mouth) and control of others around them as others are forced to cater to the picky eater.

Picky eating may have some nominal evolutionary advantage since it may children with limited experience with food to distinguish between the edible and inedible. But, continued pickiness may indicate arrested development.

It may not be something about which to be proud to be a picky eater.

I’m a two, perhaps. I don’t like milk, but I’ll drink chocolate milk, and NE chowder is fine with me. I love pate, and chopped chicken livers, but not plain liver.

My score was 12. I hate all seafood and certain vegetables; I don't consume beef or milk by choice, for health reasons.

I do eat (a lot of) ass. Mainstay of my diet, actually.

[quote] 5: Ranch, cucumbers, white chocolate, cottage cheese, milk. But I've tried them all and can speak with authority when I say they are gross. I dislike picky eaters.

Those are all delicious.

To me YOU are a picky eater. So everything you are saying about picky eaters you are claiming about yourself.

32.

Don't start with me. I don't eat meat or seafood.

Picky eaters are neurotic. All here would happily eat cum.

I agree, a very vanilla list. I got zero FWIW. Perhaps things like kidney pie, dandelion, pigs feet, grape leaves, head cheese, tripe, beef tongue, and lamb's head should have been included as well.

Well, R114... perhaps one does not have to be a picky eater to avoid those items.

I got 1. I draw the line at Nutella.

Maybe 4 at most. But prepared well I'd probably eat those 4 as well.

ABP

I got zero

Zero

Another zero for me. There's nothing challenging on that list. It's like something passed around in Grade 6 before recess. Embarrassing to see middle aged gay men discussing it.

A lot of these thing depend on context (like I won’t eat regular peanut butter, but majorly sweetened in a dessert watch out). Or straight vinegar but mixed in a dressing just right it can be wonderful.

So the only things that I flat out won’t eat or will pick out are grapefruit, watermelon, and olives (but I love olive oil).

Oysters, Brussel sprouts and beets. Beets taste like dirt, Brussel sprouts are skunk. bombs that taste like skunk shit and oysters are slimey, stinky and vile.

I got 4. Not surprising; I knew I was not picky.

Won't is such a mushy word.

Would not eat with a gun to your head? Would not order from a menu? Would not swallow for $1 million? Would refuse if made by your grandma?

Some of those items are not food the are products.

I won't eat Nutella because of Palm Oil and ketchup....HFCS or sugar.

The list should be all food.

Oysters and raw fish. Just no way. I don't trust the suppliers to deliver them free of intestinal parasites.

And if I'm going to get intestinal parasites, there's going to be a hot, juicy, male ass involved.

I this I am a picky eater, and I only got 5... but the way I did it wasn't to pick things I didn't want to eat, like coconut, which I don't love, but would eat... I only picked things like grapefruit, which makes me gag for some reason.

Zip.

Picky eaters will die in the upcoming zombie apocalypse.

I've tried everything on the list and only one I refuse to eat again: oysters. I don't like liver on its own, but it's fine in pate.

3 - raw fish, snails, beets

Just raw fish and liver for me (though I love pate and liverwurst).

Zero and yes I type fat.

R126;

So, you mean to tell us that Nutella contains KETCHUP?!

That's gross, if what you're saying has any truth to it.

R21, a lot of people have to be revived after eating casu marzu(Italian maggot cheese). Even though there are no longer any maggots in it by the time it's served to be eaten, the tunnels are still full of piss and shit from the worms.

That Icelandic fermented fish bullshit can knock all the life right out of you, too. Lutefisk, I believe. It smells like urine and ammonia and you usually need to be revived if you dare eat it.

R114, dandelion greens aren't anything major, taste wise - sort of along the lines of escarole or arugula. I've only had them in soup, and they're fine.

21 for me

Jesus Christ, OP! I only got 13 points -and I'm a vegetarian!

I got 8. It's mainly a texture thing for me where things like mayo, peanut butter, etc. freak me out.

No creamy sauces or foods for me. No cheese

Just one. Eggplant in any of its disgusting forms is to be avoided.

I'm not saying I love everything else on the list, but I'd eat the rest of 'em. Eggplant is the only hard "No."

3 points - raw fish. snails, liver.

Nought.

Pussy was not on the list, though.

3 - pork, blue cheese and celery.

What if you don’t eat it because you’ve gotten sick off it or are allergic? That’s my main thing about foods. I won’t touch shrimp because I became horribly sick after eating BAD shrimp scampi once. I can’t eat onions because they give me the shits and make me itch.

Anyway I got a 13.

I don't think anyone's suggesting you deliberately risk an allergic reaction just to get a lower score, R145

3 points- Brussel sprouts, celery, and watermelon

5- grapefruit, celery, liver, asparagus, and oranges. I love orange juice...I've just always hated the texture of the fruit.

R6, mayo isn't non-animal.

Zero. Do I like everything on that list? No. Would I refuse to eat it? No.

8, because I’m allergic to them, and could die. We need an Asian version of this. I’ve reluctantly eaten many things in Japan, just to be a good sport, that I would have rather not eaten. Anything fluorescent pink tends to be disgusting.

I eat everything on the list except for the 6 vile things.

Reading through, it depends how you define it

There are three foods on there I will definitely not eat, even to be a good sport, but overall there are about 20 that I don't buy, make for myself or order in a restaurant.

4. Mostly condiments (Mayo and mustard), organ meat (liver), and muck filtering shellfish (oysters).

I got a 25 and I am a picky eater. I think it's part due to my parents caving into my demands as a kid and partly due to not liking certain textures. I went to a nutritionist to round out my diet and she said that picky eaters are called "super tasters". I love steak, but to the horror of friends. I like it well done with no pink. I like meat to be dry like chicken, turkey or beef. I hate too much tomato sauce on pizza. No seafood or anything with squishy textures. My burger order is done so specifically, that anyone close to me knows exactly what it is.

There are things I don’t eat for fitness and health goals, such as red meat and Mayo. That should be applauded, not ridiculed.

Part of how I learned to cook was because I did not like so many things my mother would complain and tell me I'd never find a wife (ha!) if I didn't eat better. There was nothing on that list that I wouldn't eat, but it would have to be prepared in a way to make it more palatable (although I don't know how you'd make Nutella palatable; it's just sweet brown goo).

For instance, when I was a teenager I had an accident and lost a lot of blood. The doctor told my parents that I needed a lot of iron, so liver three times a week for a month. It was gross. My mother would fry it with onions and I'd eat as much as I could, but after the first week and a particularly unsavory serving, I barfed and told her I couldn't eat any more; perhaps I could take an iron supplement? A little research and I found that there is more iron in red wine and artichokes than liver, so problem solved.

Does it count as a "no" if you won't eat something on the list if it's prepared in a specific way? What if you combine two things on the list (never, ever eat a blue-cheese stuffed green olive. I learned the hard way.)?

Otherwise: zero.

I am a vegetarian but only got 12, which were all meat and fish and snails.

I got 13 because I don’t eat meat and also beets

[quote] I went to a nutritionist to round out my diet and she said that picky eaters are called "super tasters".

Sorry, R155, but this supertaster label sounds like bullshit to me. However, apparently, there is a way to discern (count) how many tastebuds you have on your tongue.

IDK, if it's legit or not but it make sense. I've heard people who like primarily white foods (potatoes, chicken, cheese pizza, pasta) might be slightly on the spectrum or it contribute to ADHD.

I scored an 8.

I cannot stand apple, raw carrots, celery; loathe coffee, milk, and coconut; despise eggplant and escargot.

I've read that "supertaster" refers mostly to a dislike of bitter and sulfur-y foods. Broccoli, Brussels sprouts, cruciferous vegetables, tonic water, grapefruit, eggs cooked in certain ways, coffee, probably some I'm forgetting. Of all of these, coffee and grapefruit are the only ones I like.

I think these food dislikes are a way for some people to feel special. Personally, I don't like mealy and mush textures (applesauce, Cream of Wheat, etc.) Big deal.

3 points for nutella, ranch dressing and peanut butter.

I got 13 but I no fish or seafood, not allergic but it makes me want to hurl. Only crazy people eat any raw animal proteins anyway. Go pull a six foot worm out of your ass then. I dont get the hate for nutella, you will eat raw fucking fish and eat ass but not nutella?

1. Ranch dressing

I hate white foods, except for ice cream and white meat

Nutella and white chocolate are the only two things I won't eat. Sea urchin should be on the list. Blech to sea urchin's texture.

[quote]Ranch dressing

As I'm not crazy about mayo, I thought I wouldn't like ranch dressing until I tasted it. I now find ranch a perfectly good thing to put on a house / garden salad in a restaurant. I can't imagine eating it on pizza however, the way my friend Dan does.

I didn't like Whole Foods' 365 version when I bought one to have at home. They should have called it garlic powder dressing.

Don't like the flavour of peanut butter, nutella, any kind of "nut spread" unless it's almond paste, sweet potato, persimmon, guava, brown sugar, molassas--anything with a sweet puke flavour essentially.

What's odd is that IRL I rarely encounter people with all these picky eating habits.

I know someone who eats no vegetables whatsoever. Just pasta, cheese, potatoes, and meat.

Zero for things I absolutely would not eat. There are a few things on the list I dont particularly like or would not choose to eat if I had other options but I can still eat them if needs be

A few things not on that list I dont eat - salami or any of those cured meats, bacon, ham

Zero. And I've eaten all on the list. I'm a food slut.

Zero, technically. But I’m avoiding carbs so there are things I don’t ordinarily eat. But I would if I weren’t a fat whore.

2 - there are quite a few more things here that I don’t really care for (and a lot depends on context) but the only ones I flat out won’t eat are grapefruit and watermelon.

I ‘m a 1. Will not eat liver

11.

Including two - coconut and pickles - that I will eat if they're mixed into something but would prefer to skip otherwise.

Cucumbers give me some sort of weird reaction after, and grapefruit interacts w/medicine.

R166 has the palate of a 5 year old and R155's therapist is lying to him in order to make him feel better about what sounds like what modern parents refer to as "sensory processing" issues. Nothing you've said sounds like supertasting - in fact what you describe sounds, if anything, a little spectrum-y.

Some people grew up in landlocked areas and do not like the idea of eating fish, including raw fish.

Anyone else surrounded by friends with young kids? Is the "sensory processing" thing even a real thing? Or is it just what hypersensitive millennial parents, who are not generally predisposed to thinking of their children as anything less than amazing and without flaw, call plain old picky eating? I was just talking to a friend the other day who is insistent that her 4 year old has some kind of actual issue that leads to him refusing ALL foods except tater tots. They're spending a fortune on their child nutritionist (and a therapist for other unspecified behaviours related to the apparent sensory processing disorder) and this isn't the only person I know who is vehement that there is some real medical issue at work.

I guess my question is why do these kids always fixate on one hyper palatable processed food? Is the fact that small children love that bland shit just a coincidence? What did olden times kids without tater tots (but with sensory processing issues) fixate on? And are these parents correct when they insist that the child would literally starve themselves to death if deprived of tater tots? Because I feel like most little kids would not starve themselves to death in that situation and part of me is starting to suspect this is all a lot of bullshit because getting kids to eat their veggies is hard and annoying and allowing them to exist on tater tots is easy.

1 - snails

...

possibly 2 - nutella. Nothing against chocolate and hazelnut spread but nutella really is the trash version and everything about it is bad.

I got two. I guess I'm easy to please.

Escargot and cottage cheese. The texture of escargot is just nasty, but I'll still eat oysters and sashimi.

Cottage cheese because I got really sick 5 years ago eating it and it wasn't expired. And I don't think it was dairy thing because I eat cheese, butter, milk, and ice cream all the time.

Hate olives but like olive oil

I'll eat cauliflower but usually avoid it.

That's it.

13

5 for me.

Zero.

"Supertasters" are not picky eaters, R155, they're just people with extra tastebuds and taste receptors. You are probably a supertaster is cilantro tastes like soap to you. For some reason that's the tip-off.

R4 is not Japanese, clearly

I got 4 (liver, oysters, mushrooms and snails)

What an interesting thread. 15 for me. I figured 15 out of 63 is nearly 25% so I thought I did pretty well if I'm willing to eat 75%. I'm amazed at all of you 100%ers. I wonder how those of us over 15 differ from, say, those of you who scored under 5.

I wish the instructions were more defined. Some people are indicating that they won’t eat certain foods on the list for dietary reasons. Obviously, restrictions like that would produce a different count than that based on things that people don’t like the taste of or things that they find instinctively repulsive.

I scored a zero. I'm not a huge fan of liver, but I've had it several times at restaurants in Europe. It can be good when prepared right...

2 - Raw fish and snail

Nutella is white trash.

I got a 1 - will never eat snails again. It like chewing on a garlic-flavored rubber band.

Zero. As long as the food is prepared beautifully.

Zero. As long as the food is prepared beautifully.

I've eaten everything on the list, so technically zero. But I do have two items I refuse to consume. 1. Milk. I don't think I've had a glass of milk since I was in college. As someone said in the past, milk is for babies. I do love other milk products, such as cottage cheese and cheeses, and yogurt. 2. White Chocolate. As far as I'm concerned, it might as well be Crisco with sugar. The darker the chocolate the more I like it.

Some have pointed out, this list is very vanilla. so there are some things I won't eat not listed. Blood sausage is one, I just do not like the taste of it. Some organ meats besides liver.

2

3: canned tuna, oysters, coconut

I've had everything on the list at least once, and some of these things are not things I like or would choose to order (like cabbage). But I will eat them.

But I hate the stink of canned tuna, the consistency of oysters, and coconut tastes like soap to me.

I'm fascinated by the people on this thread who think because THEY don't like something, then either no one else COULD possibly like it, or no one else SHOULD possibly like it ("X is food for babies!").

The insane narcissism behind personal tastes...

Zero. I don't care for tofu, but I will eat it if it is prepared (read dosed in soy sauce or something). Otherwise I'd happy eat anything else on that list.

7, ranch dressing, mayo, nutella, oysters, snails, red meats and beets are off the menu

I’ll take 1 pt. for olives, I guess. Otherwise not very picky.

6 pts. Not really picky.

29 for me. Hate seafood and vegetables.

There are many things I don't eat because I don't like them, but If I have to, only one of them I will never eat: land snails, I dare anyone to eat escargot after having parasitology in college.

9 - can't tolerate coconut, cabbage or onions for sure.

Bananas and yogurt I cannot eat, I will chuck them up. Raw carrots are fine but I can't eat cooked, they're terrible.

"Baby tastes" is an old DL insult, R202. The last time my bf read DL it was a food thread where "baby taste" accusations were being thrown around left and right, it was ridiculous. He still uses it when he's trying to be particularly irritating.

I have to admit, I've never tried nutella. What do people not like about it? Isn't basically chocolate spread? I can't imagine what there is to dislike.

Technically, only one: canned tuna.

But I would avoid mayo and beets if at all possible. It not possible, though, I will eat them begrudgingly.

zero

i'd NEVER not eat a food, I might not prefer it but I'd never just rule it out

nutela is so oily but plastic tasting. Disappointing.

I got zero daddy help me make the macaroni and cheese WAHHHHH 😫

There are things I won’t eat, and then things I won’t eat if you put a gun to my head. Going by the latter standard, I got 12. Going by the former it would have been MUCH higher.

Say, pork, beef and chicken. I eat ham and bacon but not pork chops or roasted pork. I’ll eat roast beef or chuck roast but not hamburger. I’ll eat turkey breast but not ground or dark meat turkey.

I won’t touch eggs but I love mayonnaise.

I think of myself as being pretty picky, but based on this chart I still don’t know the exact number.

R212, I won’t eat Nutella because it’s made with hazelnuts and they always taste rancid and musty to me. I like, or even love, most other nuts.

5:

Sworn off beef; hate coffee; dislike peas; sourdough gives me stomach pains; and raw fish? Fuhgeddaboutit!

Cottage cheese haters: Have you tasted Friendship Whipped Cottage Cheese sprinkled with some Stevia?

You're welcome.

[quote] I have to admit, I've never tried nutella. What do people not like about it? Isn't basically chocolate spread? I can't imagine what there is to dislike.

R212, I don't dislike Nutella, I just think it's majorly overrated. It's very sweet & calorie-dense. I'd rather just eat chocolate bars (and bread). It's made of hazelnuts, but I don't detect any distinct flavor of hazelnut. The texture, IIRC, is a little grainy. I think it has an aura or a cachet of being European, so maybe that's why people want to be associated with it.

10 points - olives, oysters, raw fish, garlic, onion, Nutella, and a few others.

Does this mean I'm broadminded or low-class?
