I have ARFID so my diet is extremely limited anyway, but anyway here are some foods that I get people saying “how can you not like xxx”

I’ll start with

Pizza
Cake
Any cheese stronger than a cheddar

Will probably add to it as the thread goes on Grin

Pasta! Can’t abide the texture of it. Nobody believes me when I tell them.

Clarice99 · 03/08/2023 16:51

Cheese. And anything that contains cheese.

ThePoshUns · 03/08/2023 16:51

What does ARFID mean?

Vinorosso74 · 03/08/2023 16:51

Anything Biscoff related. Most cocktails/mocktails.

Big Mac ( or pretty much any hamburger type thing). I’ve only ever had one once, during a very very late working session . 🤢

Soubriquet · 03/08/2023 16:51

Ooo yes to butter. I only have butter on either toast or one particular type of bread roll which you get from a bakery and even then it has to be their butter and not a home spread.

I don’t like coffee or alcohol either

Saisong · 03/08/2023 16:51

Cucumber & Melon

mnahmnah · 03/08/2023 16:52

Do drinks count? I feel like a very rare breed of person from the way people react when I tell them I hate gin, coffee and red wine

Beenhereforever1978 · 03/08/2023 16:52

Beans. Weird juicy bastard things.

DelurkingAJ · 03/08/2023 16:52

Baked beans, tomato ketchup.

DS1 loathes sweets and chocolate. Try explaining that when he’s three without sounding beyond precious. People have since admitted they thought we were being unreasonable, shoved sweets into him and we then embarrassed as he spat them out. Turns out he as ASD…this counted as an indicator…
