re: Adults that are picky eaters

It is irritating when you are trying to cook for a group and one "can't" eat this or that, or won't eat something just because. I don't get it either

Never had that problem. If we're having people over and I am bbqing or cooking something else, there are always plenty of food items. If you can't find something to eat, then that is your problem. You know if you're a picky eater, don't expect people to accommodate your needs...grab something to eat on your way over...or suck it up and eat something that you don't necessarily care for. With that, I've never had anyone that didn't eat several of the items and I have noticed almost everyone not eat one particular item. Not everyone is going to eat everything, but if you aren't cooking what you want as the host, you're doing it wrong.

My parents didn't allow picky eaters.

I like most foods and will try most anything.

Okay, but check this out.. I was at JFK Airport on Friday morning at a restaurant and ordering breakfast. The meal came with two eggs. I wanted to add a third egg and pay extra. The waitress says she can only add two eggs. Me: "I don't want 4 eggs. I want 3." Her: "We can only do two eggs, not one." Me: "Let me make this easy for you. Crack one egg, not two." Her: "We can't do that. It has to be two." So I got four eggs on my plate, ate three and deducted the egg from her tip. Sorry for being picky.

I would put my hand down my pants and stick in my arse crack, then wipe your eggs with my hand. Then laugh as your dumbass, who doesn't listen, eats them.

I’m an extremely picky eater, and it has nothing to do with “growing up.” Some people just don’t like a lot of things. I have no issue trying different types of food, but for example steaks and burgers taste like absolute crap to me. I’ve tried many different kinds from many different places, and they all taste like crap. So I stick to things I like.

I think you care way too much, but I also agree with you. I really only care when they are at my table and the waiter is clearly getting pissed off.

Went to lunch with some co-workers, one of which ordered a poboy plain. Guess she likes them dry as hell. It came with tomatoes on it. She was disgusted and sent it back. It came back out and took one bite. She was again disgusted and turned to the table saying "ugh, I think they just took the tomatoes off and gave me the same sandwich. I can taste the tomato juices.".... No fricking shite that's what they did, the waiter probably walked back and said something to the chef who probably responded "it's a fricking tomato..." And she looked at us as if we were supposed to agree with her. I could understand if it was lathered in mayo or something. It's not like tomatoes have this harsh flavor that they leave on the sandwich... Grow up.

when we go to hibachi grills my boss always wants to hold the onions in the fried rice

Life is too short to eat crap I don’t like.. actually, i think it’s more mature to be a little picky, since it shows that you actually know what you like, instead of just blindly gobbling down whatever’s put in front of you.

Then don’t order the dish.



Just a thought

The restaurant thing doesn’t bother me. Being expected to provide an alternative dish when I’m having a crawfish boil pisses me off! I just got through telling somebody they are welcome to bring their own chicken or whatever for their person who doesn’t eat crawfish.
