I can be a bit finicky (sauce on the side, no bread/pasta/rice, etc), but I don't really make a big deal out of it and I'll try anything once.

people who make a huge deal out of not liking food or loudly pronounce everything they won't eat do really annoy me, though.

Depends on how picky they are.

I'm a pretty picky eater, not a lot of food actually tastes great to me. It doesn't end up being a problem because I can usually find plenty of things on the menu that are fine. I also wont reject something new, and if I'm at someones house and they serve up a dish I don't like, I'll eat it anyway.

It only becomes annoying when someone feels they need to loudly exclaim that their discriminatory palate is too good for Mexican/Chinese/"anything icky looking".

I know what I like and I know what I hate. But I'm willing to at least try anything. This includes Rocky Mountain Oysters and pig ears in China, both of which were fucking nasty.

Incredibly. I have a few friends who basically don't venture past burgers, boneless skinless chicken breast, and fries. Occasionally a salad. It's aggravating because you usually have to accommodate them if you have a BBQ at your place, and you basically have to pick some place boring if you're going out to eat.

People who care even the slightest about what other people's taste preferences are should be burned alive.

Will not eat anything but burgers, fries and chicken. But the chicken has to be skinless!!

Does not compute!

Well, I'll throw something on the grill for you anyway.

Unless you're a vegetarian (or worse). Then, I'll microwave you a veggie burger, but you have to eat it in the basement.

Dude, I don't make their fucking rules. I can't begin to understand it.

Herbs? Nope.
Spices? Maybe garlic salt. Yes, garlic salt. Not fresh, not powder.
Ketchup? Sure, but no fresh tomatoes. (!!!)

They're my friends and I like them, but their eating habits are infuriating for anyone who loves food as much as me. I don't particularly care if they're picky on their own, but it sucks to have to accommodate others, when it really should be the other way around. Picky eaters should accommodate normal eaters.

I've never had them, but I'd try them. I've heard the texture is kind of weird, a bit too firm, like a hard boiled egg, and kind of bland.

But yeah, goes back to the days where we didn't waste anything, especially on the Western frontier.

nope, but only because I'm a picky eater myself. Most times I will try something once.

Yes, but I realize it's because that's they way they were raised, so I actually feel sorry for them. I changed a friend to be more open to food other than the staple American dishes. His mother though makes the ewwww face when anyone brings up something like Indian food, or even simple Central & South American foods. Forget about African or Middle Eastern, she'd probably rather die than try it. No surprise that she holds a similar skepticism towards everything else in life that's "foreign". It's really unfortunate as there are so many experiences and choices to be had for people living in the US, yet so many never realize/appreciate the opportunities before them, yet they can go on and on about how great it is to live in America <yawn>.

I dislike a lot of vegetables.
Onions, carrots, cabbage, lettuce, spinach, etc.

That said, I love food and I love trying new things. I love Chinese, Thai, teriyaki, Indian, etc.
I love spicy food.

I eat my burgers with no vegetables, except for jalapeños.(no I'm not a pompous prick who needs to be the squiggly above the 'n' but Chrome's spell checker suggested it)
I like pickles, but I just don't like that texture on a burger. They're good but not worth the wet soggy or crunchy they add to the burgers. Jalapeños are worth it though.

Personally, I am irritated by people who are afraid of spicy food, or freak out if they eat even the mildest spicy food. I understand that I've built up a tolerance for highly spicy foods, and my range is outside of that of most people's.... But to not eat pepperoni because it is too spicy? are you fucking kidding me?

Also, people who won't touch seafood. People that won't even give it a try. I can understand being squeamish about calamari or lobster or something, but shrimp? fish? You aren't living life if you haven't tried those. I've tried all the vegetables I don't like, don't like the taste/texture, and hence don't like them. I've never been afraid to try a new one.


About vegetarians...
We have teeth designed for tearing meat. Whether you believe in a god or in evolution or both, our teeth are designed that way for a reason. We are not designed to be strict herbivores. We are omnivores.

Whenever I meet someone who proclaims they are a vegetarian for PETA type reasons, I make sure to eat an extra serving of meat in their honor. Maybe order an all-meat pizza to make sure I'm supporting the death of cows, pigs, chickens, etc all in that person's honor!

I have a weird thing about onions and peppers. I can only eat them if they don't over power the food like burger meat cooked with onion or any mayo based salad with onion. Stuff like that.
