Whoever considers picky eating a problem can take it up with me, my friend is one, which simply means I get to eat the stuff she doesn’t want to, and she can order something she might not like, knowing I will eat it anyways. It’s a win win
Additional thanks from a fella whose brain reacts to weird textures in my food by gagging or vomiting. It’s so embarrassing, especially around friends.
I used to have that with zucchinis for whatever reason, so I definitely understand where you’re coming from. First time eating quiche years ago was hell, nowadays I love it
I’m autistic and the opposite of a picky eater. That being said, when introducing people to new food you have to be extremely patient with them. A lot of things look, feel, and smell different that what most people are used to
My 4 year old is autistic and definitely didn’t get the picky eating thing out of the autism grab bag. This morning he mixed rice (with soy sauce) & relish and gobbled it up 🤮
Then I went to a series of ayahuasca and peyote ceremonies, and I can eat anything.
I remember the moment I rewired by damn throat muscles because I had a mouth full of peyote and it would be impolite and weak to spit it back out. My throat refused to swallow, and I went low-level for the first time since being a little kid and rewrote my swallowing firmware just to make it go down the hatch.

Thank you friend, from an autistic person with food issues.

Bananas for me.
What about cucumbers? I got a love-hate relationship with those
🤔
Tbf, the only time I ever found cooked zucchini acceptable was in homemade bread.
Hey, someone else with the same issue as me!
Yeah it sucks. So I end up getting a lot of the same things over and over again because I know what the texture will be.
‘Hurr durr you’re so picky’ - or maybe I just don’t like gagging and vomiting and can’t control that reaction genius.
I have two or three foods that cause that reaction. I’ve just said that I’m allergic. Saves a lot of explanation.
In a way, you are.

Is that a picture of your son eating that relish?
I’m autistic, was a really picky eater.

As a father who either has to prepare the same meals over and over, or else make two separate meals, I do not share your positive outlook
It gets much better when the kids become co-responsible of their own alimentation.
It smacks of Victorian literature. I’ll be adding this one to my verbiage, thanks.
