Fussy eaters

    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.

    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.

    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.

    This person would be my prime example.

    Skip to 1.20 and look at the reaction after trying a tiny bite of cheese.



  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,831 ✭✭✭genericguy

    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.

    That's pretty grim. Eating should be a pleasurable experience, and there is nothing to say that enjoyable food cannot be healthy….or that unhealthy food can't be enjoyed in moderation.

    Not just yet anyway but semper paratus

    It can be both but it takes a little extra work, I'd love a crisp sandwich now but I'll force myself to go down and prepare something wholesome and tasty, but if I didn't have the time function comes before taste every time.

    I agree with this but as i've said above, all kids enjoy if left to their own devices is, frankly, crap.
    If they are pandered to all their childhood and given whatever they want then the only thing that will give them pleasure when they grow up is crap.
    Not for a second am i lumping you in with that, i just felt it needed pointing out that there are people that only derive pleasure from eating crap because thats all they know!

    Well the fact you think a crisp sandwich is acceptable thing to eat is your problem.

    If you have a poor diet it's likely you are deficient in chlorophyll which acts as a deodoriser in the body, there are also some links between high sugar diets and excessive perspiration

    Chlorophyllin, not chlorophyll, has shown some positive results in deodorizing odor associated with infection and wounds.

    Point 2 is just fatties sweat.....I think that comes down more to portion control and lack of exercise rather than being a fussy eater.

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

    Would you eat a horse between two bread vans though?

    I really should have been more specific! I enjoy healthy and unhealthy foods, but I limit the amount of crap I eat - weekly treat instead of daily.

    I wouldn't eat something I don't like, but eat a lot of healthier foods.
