Picky eaters?

From my quick galnce at this thread, I seem to be worse than any of you. My wife has adjusted as did my Mom before her, I can make anything I eat, and it's only embarrassing sometimes at work, or when we eat at other families.

 

Share it.

 

I won't eat legumes.
I won't eat anything yellow or blue, or anything that comes in yellow or blue packaging.
I won't eat anything that contains high fructose corn syrup.
I won't eat things that have been freeze dried or vaccuum packed.
I don't eat produce harvested between Dec. 5 and Jan. 28.
I eat mammals, fish, birds and some reptiles, but I will not eat amphibians, except frogs.
I don't like fresh strawberries and prefer not to eat peaches or other fruits with hair on them.

 

That's weird...

And yet, we have a new winner...

 

For a sack of crap, Sonner, you're OK.

I'm pretty sure I could give Waylon, IJAG, Mizzou, Guy, et al, a good run in the picky dep't. My diet, such as it is, is pretty much limited to mainstream meats (beef/chicken/veal/pork), pasta, deli ham. I don't mind fish sticks, but I hate fresh fish and I think sushi is the grossest fucking thing on the planet. I HATE almost all vegetables. Absolutely despise them. I can stomach corn (corn on the cob in particular) and, well, that's about it. I'll only eat potatoes if they're french fries.

I'd take a bullet for my parents, but I think forcing me to stay at the dinner table and punishing me if I didn't eat my veggies turned me off that crap forever.

Now that, as Waylon notes, we're at the age where the metabolism slows down and better eating habits become key, my wife is trying to get me to eat more veggies. She tries hard, I give her that.

 

You people are all fucking freaks.

 

Stop it Zeke. People have been banned for less.

 

Try the veggies on pizza first. If you like them on pizza, you'll like them off pizza.
Hence my dislike for mushrooms - I don't like them on or off pizza.

 

Even me?

 

I find this thread enormously comforting.
