Are you fussy or particular about the food you eat?

...or are you a garbage disposal and will eat anything?

I'm not so picky, as I enjoy most foods. :)
 
if it doesn't come in breadcrumbs, a candy shape or on pizza, I'm not interested in it.

it's a huge problem for me. my food diet is so limited, and what's worse is that I have a phobia about wasting food
 
As a vegan, I am extremely fussy. But I've always been that way due to sensory issues.
 
I'm picky about having a balance more than picky about certain foods - like rice, I have family who used to get upset AF if we wouldn't eat all of our food, I'd be made to sit for hours and not allowed to leave the table until I ate the entire rest of it. Straight up dry rice, man. So I have a love hate relationship with rice and it needs to have a balance of sauce/veggies/meat in it. That is probably what my need for balance stemmed from.

And your age is WHAT???
Man, that sure sounds like really way past stone-age retro rules to me.! :cry: :mad:

Oh yeah they did all kinds of stuff like that to lead to an actual eating disorder (y) But they didn't realize they were doing that I think, that side of my family was raised in an extremely strict culture, like my uncle was in the army and all that too so I'm sure he thought it wouldn't be such a core memory or a big deal since he'd had it way worse when he was a kid lol.
 
I would say particular. I like certain things and others not so much.
 
When I was younger, I was VERY picky. There was a lot I refused to try, including chili (primarily due to the beans. Did then, and still do, hate pinto beans). As an adult, though, I've become much more open to trying things. Chili is my favorite food now, and I'm on a quest to try as many different people's chilis that I can. I tried crab ragoon for the first time last week. Didn't care for it, but at least it was something new.
 
I'll eat a lot of foods, but I am somewhat picky about specific ones I'm not a fan of (tomatoes, mushrooms, onions cooked a certain way (though I like red onions in salad or on a sandwich), pickles and whatnot). I'm not so picky that if I went out to eat or came over to someone's home and they made something with food in it I didn't like that I wouldn't eat it. I just eat around it.
