When you was a kid and being picky to eat?

Well, there was one food item that I didn't like when I was a teenager (and I still don't like). That was abalone. It was too strong tasting to me, and I figured that any food that had to be beaten with a mallet in order to become edible just wasn't worth the effort and expense. But I liked the pretty shell that it came in. :lol:

I'm not too keen about calamari either, especially since the time I ate one and the breading fell off so I could clearly see the tentacles. Ugh!

well, I used to hate cauliflower,, but I don't anymore. Somehow after trying to eat it again learned to get used to it and it healthy. I guess now I like healthy veggies even if it does not look very yummy on the outside of it. heee:naughty:

I love calamari. anyway another topic.

First of all, My personal def of 'picky' is one who ony eats few things out of fear of trying something new. Also scientific shows taste buds less stimulated after adolescence. So that being said- I grew up with siblings that fit this category big time. The thing is they still carry the trait into adulthood being afraid of new things (trying them) and its annoying to go to reunion or just family dinner and have to think "oh wait, they wont eat that"

I really don't ever being "afraid" to try a food I haven't eaten. Of course there are things I don't like, but its because I at least gave it a chance and tried it. If I haven't had it, I just tell people "I dunno, haven't tasted it yet" My ex spouse was very equivalent in this idea and we got to try so many things from other places that are just "taboo" in USA
 
When I was kid, i hate ham and lunch meat sandwiches, i still do.
 
I was a very finicky eater and still am to a certain point. As for the liver, I can still smell it and it nauseates me to this day.

A couple of my favorites are creamed corn and Noodle and Tuna.

Another thing, if the cheese doesn't say American cheese, I won't touch it. Cheese food is NOT cheese. Look at your labels.
