wtf is wrong with these people?

Why is there grown adults who don't eat vegetables or make a face when eating certain things.

Is there nothing you wont eat? You will eat anything handed to you? Are you fat?

TheBody

People have different tastes.

B_Rabbit

Wait, never mind.

I'd eat the hind end of a horse through a hole in a hedge.

How many things do you need to dislike to be a fussy eater.

I misread that as pussy eaters.

Carry on! :pac:

I'd eat almost anything that's put in front of me by a friend or family member. If they were good enough to put it together for you it's nice to return the favour by cleaning the plate with a smile.

In restraunts I could understand someone being fussy, having paid money etc.

Care to go into some more details OP?

I mean, some people may think sewer rats taste like pumpkin Pie, I personally will never know, because I won't eat the filthy mutha-fcukers.

A bit of starvation would soon knock the fussiness out of any eater.

Pandered to when they were kids. Parents were probably the same.

I know a fella that completely does not eat veggies. Had surgery on his stomach last year to remove a greasy lump of fatty awfulness from it. Main part of his diet is meat and you should see the state of him. He looks sick but is in complete denial!

What a tool.

How does it affect you? Would you eat something that you didn't like?

There isn't much I wouldn't eat, don't like turnip or parsnip but love most veggies. does that make me fussy? shock horror some people don't like the taste of certain things.

Sir Arthur Daley

Give them water and stale bread for a month and they will soon loose the fussy eating.

Aint Eazy Being Cheezy

I don't mind fussy eaters once they've tried something once, and didn't like it, or they've a condition ie. Coeliac where it would sicken them.

But I've no time for that "eew looks disgusting, I'm not touching that" type of person.

I think it starts in childhood with parents pandering to their kids. We used to have to spend a week with my aunts family every Summer and her kids were insanely fussy. My grandmother lived with them and every morning she'd make porridge, as far as my parents were concerned we either ate it or we went hungry for breakfast. I can't remember what it was that my cousins had for breakfast every morning, I think it was something like bread and butter with sugar or something weird like that. I remember my mother was disgusted at it anyway.

Big difference between not liking one or two things, and having a face on you like you were just served up a plate of ebola, at pretty much every meal. I have a friend like this, simply because she was pandered to at every meal growing up. Came to visit for three weeks - unless dinner came in a McDonalds bag, a microwaveable container, or was a bowl of Coco Pops, it would be met with a pout. Didn't matter if someone went to the trouble of cooking it for her. Feigned politeness wasn't even an option, regardless of the fact the someone was cooking her a free meal every night. Was happy to see the back of her...

I eat everything bar seafood & fish.

It can be difficult living with people who have a really narrow diet when you have to cook something to suit them.

I think most people have certain foods that they don't like. What I can't stand are the people who have to exclaim "EEEWWW GROSSSSSS!" when you are eating something they don't like. Um, I don't yell 'GROSS!" when I see you eating McDonald's, so please don't do the same to me when you see me eating sushi, thanks.

Or living with one of the Vegetarian/vegan Nazis who say you cant tell them how to eat, But will make you either not eat meat at the same table or sit there telling you how it was killed prepared and how bad it's for you :P

I was at a wedding recently and there was a girl there I know who is overweight, but I was taken aback by her fussiness throughout the day. Started in the pub after the mass when she would only eat sandwiches that had no butter, continued when she was complaining about the soup during the meal, and escalated when she had her meat returned THREE times during the main, even though it was cooked the standard "house-way". I gave her a wide berth (no pun intended) as soon as the meal ended lest she broke my balls any more with her complaining.

Now I'm not tarring overweight people with the same brush, but I definitely wouldn't have taken her as a fussy eater.

depends, if we're talking about someone who doesn't eat fish or doesn't like mushrooms, fair enough, it's just personal taste, but if you're talking about people who won't try vegetables, have never tried fish (bar vegetarians) or only eat crisps, pizza and chips and act like overgrown babies at the sight of new food, thats a fussy easter. Would not go to restaurants with them or have them round for dinner and would be wary of them being inflexible and difficult in other ways...potential card carrying member of the awkwad squad or harbouring some weird phobias.

You're missing out so much! Try it with someone who knows a good place to eat seafood. In fairness it takes a while to get used to it if you have not eaten it much before but its so worth the effort. I took the kids out to dinner one night last summer and they copped that there were mussels for starters. They wolfed them down like they were coco pops! It did take a few years to get them to that stage but they'll eat most things now.
They'll also randomly give out at having to eat veggies but i just ignore them and withold privileges if they dont. Or no dessert, oh wow theres a currency they understand!

Generally I just tell them that I don't put the same value on the life of an animal as the life of a human and that I'll eat any animal that tastes good and generally prefer that someone kills it for me. If that is barrier to us being on good terms then walk away...

I guess in hindsight, it's not so much the fussy eating that gets to me. It's the fact that most fussy eaters I know are so ****ing rude about it, as if you are being a major inconvenience in their lives by serving up something that (surprise surprise) they don't want to eat. There are a few things that aren't my favourite things to eat, but I don't throw a bloody beserker fit if they appear on my plate.....

I used to be a very fussy eater when I was younger, wouldnt touch any salad or anything "different". Much better now though. Although I dont like Olives or Mushrooms.

Sciprio

I basically eat everything. I cannot name any one bit of food that i hate.

tim3000

I'm fussy enough tending avoid anything with spice. But I eat my veggies and most other things. Just cant handle spice smothers the taste of the food you are eating. What annoys me is people who discuss food once its eaten.

I know someone who will not eat fruit or vegetables. If any so much as touches a burger he'll refuse to eat it. That's the kind of thing I'd call a "fussy eater" rather than "I don't like peas".

I'll ate anything except olives. I've tried, really I have, but they're yocky.

I suppose I could be classed as a fussy eater. As a child there was a lot of things I wouldn't eat and refused to try. But now I don't mind trying new things as I've discovered there's some things I hated that I actually love now.

Actually, the fussiest eaters I know are overweight because they refuse to eat anything that isn't meat, potatoes, bread, or a processed combination of the three. They hardly eat any fruit and vegetables at all, and if they eat veg, it's smothered in dressing or butter.

Not to be getting off topic but didn't Pie become a slang term for p"""y after the film American Pie?

Not to be getting off topic, who gives a fck what became popular due to that movie, or was there something else you wanted to say?

I used to hate olives too, but after living in Spain for a year, I now love them.

I also used to hate tomatoes but I've become a convert after growing my own for the last two summers. The mealy, hard things they have in the supermarket can't compare.

You should eat to fuel your body not for enjoyment or taste, this is why we have such a high % of fat, spotty, sloppy doses with changeable mood, poor hygiene who are just drifting through life waiting to die

I'm relieved to see your step father and girlfriend's father haven't succeeded in their fiendish plans to murder you.

I only eat food I enjoy and am nothing like you description. Eating should be a pleasure.
