Selective Eater

Posted by terrepruitt on October 31, 2018

A Facebook Friend posted this list recently on Facebook. She received a lot of replies. I was pretty surprised at them. For so many years I was called a picky eater so I was happily surprised to see I was not among the pickiest out of the people who replied to her query. There was one woman who answered 17. SEVENTEEN! The response to her response was, “What do you eat?” I mean, seriously. There are so many things on this list that I DO eat, and they are pretty much staples in my diet I was wondering the same thing about this woman.

There was only a handful of people who were in the 0 range. With the bulk of the people being in the 1 to 5 and 10 to 15. And only one being over 15. That was the result when I decided to count, but I am sure that it changed as I saw people had commented after I had done my quick count. I was just curious. I really just wanted to see how many people were “pickier” than me. I do understand, as I am sure so do you, there are a lot more reasons than, “I don’t like it” as to why people don’t eat some things. I am actually very grateful for all of the allergies and intolerances that are now an everyday thing because – again – most people don’t just label someone picky . . . wait staff doesn’t even blink any more when someone orders a menu item but ask for something to be removed. It is no longer really considered a “special order” it is just an order. With so many different diets and things going on it is ok to “rearrange” a menu item – as I call it.

Here is the list with the items I won’t eat circled. I don’t really like green olives with the pimentos, but without them they are fine. I will eat raisins especially golden ones, but I don’t care for the black ones, but sometimes I will eat them. If they are in a dessert item, I will generally not eat that item because . . . it is probably something I should be avoiding anyway. I don’t eat fish raw or otherwise. I like celery soup, but I don’t like celery and I prefer it NOT be in things (chicken salad, green salads, etc.). I don’t like avocados. I don’t even like to touch the mush of them — eww. And I don’t like mustard.

What about you? How do you fair with this list? How many points did you get?

    I won’t eat snails or raw fish. There are other things I don’t really like (Brussels sprouts, asparagus, ketchup), but might eat under certain conditions. People are picky!

      Paula – I don’t eat snails or any fish – raw or cooked. I love asparagus and Brussels sprouts, I prefer them roasted! I am not a big fan of ketchup, but I do eat it. Sometimes the fries “call” for it!

      I didn’t realize people are picky because I was told that I was the picky one and my brother and father ate everything. My mother did not, she was picky! I am lucky my husband is not a picky eater! Thanks for commenting!

    Mmmm… love mustard and that entire list. And now, I’m drooling over the thought of raw fish 😉 Pears are the only food I can’t stand the thought of eating, ‘though they’re not on the list 😛 🙂 ❤ Jackie@KWH
