(I honestly thought I'd get more than I did, but oh well...little by little...maybe someday I'll have as many readers as you, you popular girl, you!) I loved reading everyone else's input. It's funny to learn that everyone seems to be picky in their own way. Even those who say "I'm not picky" seems to amend their statement with "but I can't stand... and I hate..." ha ha : ). <br /><br />I loved Regan's statement and it completely represents me: "If it doesn't taste amazing, then I'm not wasting my calories on it! Of course, that gets me into trouble with sweets.....cuz they are almost ALL amazing! But I truly love veggies, too.....so that helps!" I just wish some vegetables weren't so sour. Like celery, carrots (I prefer them cooked, makes them sweeter), green peppers, and almost all lettuce! Iceberg isn't usually sour, but I agree with you--it's not worth it taste-wise. But like I said in my post, I'll eat them all anyway, if it can help negate some of the sweets that I enjoy every day ; ).Jennifer Lovellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00620872883706842592noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8630979976490932348.post-34810547673605746612012-05-13T21:29:30.487-06:002012-05-13T21:29:30.487-06:00Oh, I do avoid anything with the chemical Aspatame...Oh, I do avoid anything with the chemical Aspatame in it though.

Except, I do NOT like olives, or raw oysters, bake em or fry em put them on crackers with some horseradish good to go. I won't eat sauerkraut by itself, by put it on a Reuben with thousand island dressing and I will eat it. Don't care for yellow mustard, but love honey mustard. I don't care for the "buffalo" flavored anything, but change the flavor up a bit and I am there. Now Buffalo Burgers, are to die for!!! The best tasting burger I have ever had, with Sonic's Fire Island burger coming in a close second with it's Habanero sauce on it. MMMMM. Now your making me hungry.Ann Marie @ 16 Muddy Feethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18043510561974011878noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8630979976490932348.post-68889302290704142532012-05-13T19:54:15.618-06:002012-05-13T19:54:15.618-06:00I'm currently a fairly picky eater but that is...I'm currently a fairly picky eater but that is more the baby growing in my belly being fussy about what i eat more than anything else at the moment.<br />I do have some food allergies, but those things are easy to avoid here in Australia. Not so easy when i'm O/S, particularly in the USA. I have to avoid high Fructose food (i have fructose malabsorption), so for me fruit is often not a good option and USA foods sweetened with HF corn syrup is a complete no-no. The only problem i have with it here is avoiding Southern Indian food that has coconut milk in it. Northern Indian food is usually fine though. i just have to check first.hardhatcathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06701373501663427133noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8630979976490932348.post-68673830887579027232012-05-13T16:34:36.486-06:002012-05-13T16:34:36.486-06:00AAAAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHA!

I could say almost the same things about my food tastes and preferences, iceburg lettuce, fish, ranch, all of it!

I like some fish and love sweets. however I haven't eaten a hamburger for years because I decided I didn't like them because of the fat and I don't cook other dishes with hamburger in it very often either. I hate to bite into a piece of fat in any kind of meat. now that I am eating healther I can taste the fat in baked goods and that allowes me to taste and throw away or avoid in the first place I think that I am picky after all, but if it is healthy I like it.momnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8630979976490932348.post-90410239267413028642012-05-11T15:40:31.504-06:002012-05-11T15:40:31.504-06:00I'm a picky eater.

Oh, I had preferences (I hear you on the raisins), but you know what's weird is that a lot of my food preferences have shifted over time. As a kid, cooked cabbage and German chocolate cake (with the gooey caramel coconut stuff on top) and salmon all squicked me out in a major way. As I got older, cilantro was another one. It tasted like soap to me. Fast forward a few years and I like all of that stuff and then some. Sometimes it's a matter of trying it more than once and at different points in life to see if the same biases hold true.Paulettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06181665241824945247noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8630979976490932348.post-30559604669576325542012-05-11T10:00:17.293-06:002012-05-11T10:00:17.293-06:00I am a moderately picky eater.

There are a couple of things that I like the taste of, but don't like how it looks, so I tend not to make them too often, which even I think is strange.<br /><br />My husband is the most un-picky eater that I know. He will eat anything. This is good since for work he travels all around the world. He thinks it is fun to go to a restaurant where he can't read the language, point to a random menu item and see what he gets. I am not that brave. I want to know what I'm eating. <br /><br />When we lived in Korea, small restaurants tended to specialize in one type of meat and they put a picture of the animal on their sign. We would look for the cow, pig, duck (which I found out I really liked), chicken, etc.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8630979976490932348.post-41638030990440924772012-05-11T08:48:03.269-06:002012-05-11T08:48:03.269-06:00I copied my comment from Jenna's blog! Oh yes...I copied my comment from Jenna's blog! Oh yes.....picky here, too! But mine is usually about texture. I don't do any kind of slimey.....raw fish, oysters, flan, melted cheese.....all gross! The commercials that show pizza with the string of cheese 2 feet long.....makes me gag! Also, absolutely no fat or gristle on meat or chicken.....if there is the slightest bit.....I'm done with it! Nothing worse than biting into a piece of fat! Yuk! I've had 1 bite of steak in my life, and the chewing of it nearly made me sick.....Again....it's a texture thing. I have a tough time even sitting at the same table when my hubby orders prime rib, or others get calimari......ugh!<br /><br />But taste is huge on the list for me, too! Having been a dieter for most of my life.....my new motto is: If it doesn't taste amazing, then I'm not wasting my calories on it! Of course, that gets me into trouble with sweets.....cuz they are almost ALL amazing! But I truly love veggies, too.....so that helps!reganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14822110311373036914noreply@blogger.com
