Are you a 'fussy' eater?

[Mercy]

There are certain types of food which I cannot abide, however often I have tried to eat them. And there are other things which I have never tried and doubt I ever will.

For me

a) Food I have tried and just don't like

Aubergines
Courgettes
Polenta
Sashimi
Tapioca/semolina
Pearl barley
Herb dumplings
Fatty meat
Green peppers
Squid
Runner beans

b) Food I refuse to try

Raw oysters
Snails
Octopus

I'm sure there's more!

[EscapeFrom]

Foods I refuse to try

I see your snails and oysters, and I raise you

TRIPE

[mazzystar]

used to be a fussy eater as a child, survived till 8 or so on eggy bread, raw carrots and brown rice

now am proud to say eat everything on your list except the fatty meat

hate mushroom and have veggie tendencies though

[mazzystar]

not tripe though

[Blandmum]

No, I will eat anything except sea urchin. Which I tried once and almost vomited at the table.

Not sure if I would choose to eat brains, but would eat them if presented with them out of poilteness

[Mercy]

Tripe and onions

[saggermakersknockturnalley]

I've tried octopus and squid. 'Tis OK.

Don't like seafood at all or anything I feel may be 'slimy'

Don't like

Tapioca/semolina
Humous
Augergines


Can't think of much else I don't like so no I'm not a fussy eater. Dd is though and apparently it's all my fault

[saggermakersknockturnalley]

Oh God no to tripe. My mum loves it.

Not tried brains but would probably have a go.

[Mercy]

Indeed it is sagger!

[Blandmum]

LOL at it being your fault. I'll sit by you and eat all your slimy stuff as I love them all! . My dd can help me, and ds can sit with you in the picky seats!

[littlerach]

I'm veggie, but do not like mushrooms. I have tried and tried but don't.
I also don't like honey.

Even if I ate meat, I really don't htink I would try oysters or snails or mussels.
i did have squid before becoming veg and didn't really likt it.

[smurfgirl]

Yes.

Al spicy/peppery/salty food. No crisps, mexican, thai, indian, well seasoned italian etc

[saggermakersknockturnalley]

Lord - life's too short to be that wound up about it TBH.

[FirenzeandZooey]

I won't eat meat, fish, goat's cheese, or blue cheese

I have NEVER (even pre-vegetarian) eaten offal of any kind, oysters, snails, eel, squid, mussels, etc etc

I absolutely CAN'T eat olives or rice pudding, or anything with the consistency or taste of rice pudding (anything with hot milk in, porridge, etc). Rice pudding I was made to eat as a child; olives I mistook for grapes aged 3 and got a very nasty surprise. My revulsion for both of these is far stronger than any other food, having been forced (inadvertantly in the case of olives) to have them as a child.

[Mercy]

I used to get really confused by 'Brains Faggots'


(I think we had them as kids once or twice)

[REBELlatrixlestrange]

I feel sick just thinking about some of these foodstuffs.

Guess that makes me a fussy eater, lol.

[saggermakersknockturnalley]

Prunes and liver, not on anyones hate list? I love both of those.

[Blandmum]

Oh god, goat cheese and olves.....my idea of heaven!

[saggermakersknockturnalley]

ooo I don't like olives either. I'm getting 'fussier' by the minute.

[iota]

I hate seafood, but fish is OK. dh loves seafood though, so I guess that we're giving our kids mixed messages - LOL

[REBELlatrixlestrange]

I can't even buy liver, much less cook it.

DH used to have a list of folk who would cook him a plateful if they were having it.

[iota]

oooh I love liver and onions with lashings of thick gravy - dh doesn't like it though

hhmmmm him and his seafood me and my liver

[REBELlatrixlestrange]

bleugh.

Sorry.

[saggermakersknockturnalley]

iota - we'll have none of that now. Seperate meal are not allowed.

[REBELlatrixlestrange]

{blush}

Guess I won't be invited certain places for dinner.
