I'm a picky eater. My parents never pushed me to eat anything I didn't want to eat as a kid and now stuff like beans, sweet potatoes, cooked carrots, steak, fish, etc. makes me gag. I'm not as picky as the worst picky eaters I know about, I love broccoli and green beans and peas and spinach and stuff, but I hate being so picky and not being able to stomach so much food, I want to have more options available to me. I've tried just manning the fuck up and stuffing my face with shit I don't like but it doesn't help, I just gag on it and spit it out automatically.

What do I do, /ck/? Are any of you picky too?

picky eater in recovery here

first i accepted that there were always going to be certain textures that i couldnt stand (mushy food and stringy meat are the big two) and second i discovered that my mom was a shitty cook who could barely comprehend a spice that wasn’t salt.

once i realized those two things i was able to branch out in my own cooking and eat food that i previously gagged on. for thanksgiving, instead of tasteless dry turkey that had been brined for a couple hours and then baked at 350 for an hour, i marinated turkey legs in hot sauce and deep fried them for 15 mins. they were flavorful as shit and i didnt have to choke down a bite of stringy tendrils. im already planning what im gonna try for christmas dinner

Medium to well-done steak has a weird tough texture to me, rare to medium-rare steak tastes just wrong to me. Ground beef is my shit though

Try incorporating the foods you don't like into meals you do like. Example would be shepherd pie, you can have the peas you like while trying other foods. Also cooking food differently, fried, steam, baked, etc.

Not gross, I just don't like them
Overpriced
I wish I liked this
I wish I liked this
I don't mind not liking these because they're not that healthy, they're ok as fries sometimes
Fucking vile, hate even looking at or thinking about beans or corn
I can eat this but REALLY don't like to, I forgot about them

I enjoy meats, breads, yogurt, pizza, etc. Basically all of the unhealthy/less healthy shit. It's terrible.

Here's some advice on liking watery vegetables. I can't guarantee they'll work for you, but any progress with this kind of thing is worlds of difference in my opinion

>Celery
Spread some peanut butter on it, I'd suggest raisins too but those are just grapes. I was picky about celery as a kid but the peanut butter made it tasty

>Lettuce
Have you tried putting lettuce on burgers? The taste isn't predominant and the crunchy texture adds some variety, since the buns are soft and the meat is tender.

>Cucumber
I'm assuming you also dislike this. Peel the cucumber, chop it into thin slices, and sprinkle salt onto the slices.

Lastly, have you tried dipping any vegetables into dressing, like ranch, sour cream, etc?

I can't taste most green veggies and the two i *can* taste (broccoli and peas) cause me to puke because I grew up in the US where people only know how to boil the shit out of it, then cover it in processed cheese. If I can't taste it, its not an issue obviously but that means its usually in such small quantities that it has next to no nutritional value.

>I'm a picky eater. My parents

stop blaming your parents for you failures

I grew up the opposite way. I always went for the craziest shit at restaurants. I used to really like chopped liver sandwiches and duck pate.
