I have always been a "sewer". In Italy, when someone eats everything or
almost everything (my only kryptonite are cumin and fennel-seeds) we call
him a "sewer".
BTW - I tasted my first red-hot-pepper salami at 11, my father was trying to
make a joke, but... I started asking for more and ended up eating a good
third of that salami. I still remember that day, and my father's face. But
it must be a family thing: some years before that, a coworker of my father
tried the same joke on him and he simply said "Very good! Can I have more?"

ViLco,

For most of my life I can remember hearing over and over and over, "how do
you you don't like it if you don't try it?"

I was obviously a visual eater.

Andy

Let me rephrase that...

> "how do you you don't like it if you don't try it?"

"how do you know you don't like it if you don't try it?"

Macaroni with margarine, salt, and pepper. It made
me the woman I am today.

I lost about 15 pounds this year, so my BMI has edged
under 40. Hooray! I'm no longer morbidly obese!

We'll see how that lasts through the holiday season.

When I left for college, though, I was paranoid about
being thought a rube, so I started eating what
everyone else ate. I have relatively few food dislikes
these days. Blue cheese is probably the most
bothersome. "Could I have the gorgonzola salad
without the gorgonzola, please?" (It's the house salad
at a place where I eat lunch every month or two.)

Cindy,

Glad you've reduced!!! [APPLAUSE] I know, it's a long and trying process!

At college we had an "all you can eat" cafeteria meal card. As picky as I
was, I managed to get my fill. DAMMIT!

Sewer, LOL! My mom always used to say that I had a "hollow leg". I
wasn't real keen on some condiments: hated mustard even then, wasn't
big on mayo, catsup was of course just fine (does any kid dislike
catsup? all that sugar....) But pretty much everything else was fine by
me. Then again, mom didn't exactly challenge our palates!

TammyM

Nothing green ever entered my mouth until I was about 17, attended a
banquet and was too embarassed not try the tossed salad put in front
of me.

I think I lived on milk most of my childhood. And sweets.

Now, I eat almost anything, and shun sweets. I think it was just a
matter of education and maturing.

Not really. I wasn't a "my food can't touch" kid, but I ate my way
around the plate counterclockwise (I think) and didn't stack it on my
fork.

My grandson is a reformed picky eater... he ate white food only in his
picky days.

Reminds me of my son when he was two and encountered whole black
olives for the first time. It was love at first sight. He put an
olive on each finger and proceeded to eat them all. Then he promptly
threw up on the floor. That didn't stop him from liking olives
though.

Till the age of 12, yes. But that's because I was never hungry. I was
stick-thin but very healthy, so my parents didn't worry. Then I
discovered hunger (I still remember my first hunger pang, I had
trouble identifying what it was!), and I started loving food and
expanding my horizons. Now I will eat just about anything (the only
stuff I don't like are bitter things - endives, amaretto flavoured
anything, grapefruit, Campari, stuff like that).

I wasn't a particularly picky eater as a kid but there were some things
that I didn't particularly like, and some things I would not eat. I
hated Lima beans, spinach, liver, fin and haddlie <sp?>, parsnips,
turnip and squash. I did not like olives and dill pickles. I didn't mind
the taste of liver, but the texture turned me off. I wasn't all that
crazy about beef or fish, but like liver, my mother always overcooked
them. I was never crazy about cooked carrots, but would and still do eat
them.

My tastes have changed, or maybe I have learned to cook some things
better than my mother used to. I learned to love beef, but rare or pink.
I learned to cook fish so that it is tasty. I found that parsnip is
delicious when roasted, and squash is downright delicious. I have eaten
good liver, though I have not cooked it for myself and don't order it in
restaurants.


My son was always a pretty good eater. He would eat and enjoy just about
anything. He is a very adventurous eater now. He is very easy to
please, as long as things are good. A few months ago we went out for
dinner and he ordered carpaccio. He had not realized that it is raw, but
he ate it.

Yes, this was me too. I ate most things but had a few I just could not
stand. Those big green frozen peas, lima beans, and liver, any kind except I
liked liverwurst. Radishes.

I have one nephew who is such a picky eater that I don't want to bother
inviting him for meals. He is downright rude, showing disgust at what is
offered. He is 36, old enough to have acquired a taste for a wider
variety of foods and more than old enough to acquire the manners to mask
his disgust.

Then I must have been an audial eater. If I didn't like what it was called I
wouldn't eat it. For instance kidney beans, no way.

Andy our youngest son had that surgery too, but one eye at a time. He also
had to wear the patches. What a hassle.

We ate everything. We never ate fast food, ever, my mother stayed at
home and cooked. The first time I ate a hamburger, was when I was in
school. I was in junior high before I tasted my first pizza. We had a
garden, so we ate kale, spinach, turnip greens, eggplant, cabbage,
beans, peas, squash, pumpkins, peppers, radishes, okra, tomatoes,
cucumbers, etc. We also raised pork and beef on the farm. The only food
I was not fond of, was green lima beans and canned peas, green beans or
spinach, but I would eat it. After eating fresh vegetables, it is hard
to eat vegetables out of a can.

I wouldn't say that they abound in my extended family. Most of us eat a
lot of different things, though a nephew and his wife are vegetarian. I
have one nephew that eats only a few things and Big Niece who will eat
anything.....and *everything*.

And this "kid" is 37. While I have enough trouble with him being so
finicky about what he w ill eat, it makes my skin crawl that he is so
childishly rude about it.

Curiously, my brother and his wife are both good cooks, and their other

I know that there are some things that some of the others don't like.
For instance, while some of them love lamb, some others hate it. Some
don't like peas and some don't like squash. But this particular nephew
just doesn't much of anything.

Phyllis,

Didn't kidney beans go INTO something? Chili? You weren't supposed to
hear "kidney beans" until you were grown up enough to be allowed in the
kitchen to cook, right?

Becca,

On a family road trip we drove up to a McDonalds (first time!) and I
asked for a hamburger. Not half a mile down the road, I got my burger and
took a bite and HOLY COW, something was really wrong. It had pickles and
ketchup and onions and I think mustard on it. I was so grossed out! In
the middle of a desert somewhere, we had 1,000,000 miles to go to a
"plain" hamburger.

I KNOW I ****ed off my parents and my bro and sis.

I was kinda/sorta the child you'd want to leave behind!

Best,

Andy

asparagus. But then staying overnight with friends - was served asparagus
for dinner. Polite to eat it. Have loved it ever since.

Fresh asparagus is wonderful and worlds away from the canned stuff. I love

JonquilJan,

The first time, as I recall, about my food reunion was the upstairs
neighbors invite for a Sunday breakfast. I accepted and appeared on time
for SURPRISE a pumpernickel miniature bagels and cream cheese.

Let me tell you, I was right in the wrong place for breakfast!

Not to embarrass myself, I forced myself to eat them.

Then ya know what happened? The "I remember this flavor!" braincells rang
out.

Next was them serving up spaghetti and ragu sauce. I'd had no such thing
in years but, again being polite, it took only a twirlful that re-
awakened my brain that said "YOU LIKED THIS!"

I became food eager from that moment on. I was probbly 20 years old!

You love the canned stuff, I love it too.

I happen to like canned asparagus, cold right outta the can... I'd eat
them more often if they weren't so darned expensive... canned
asparagus cost nearly twice as much as fresh. I don't expect canned
to be the same as fresh, I consider them two different vegetables,
like canned whole tomatoes are different from home grown vine ripened
fresh, both are good but different. I like most canned vegtables... a
lot depends on how they will be used too, I really do enjoy canned
spinach cold right outta the can as a healthful snack. One of the few
cold soups I like is canned spinach with sour cream and garnished with
sliced hard cooked eggs. I really can't think of any canned veggies I
don't like... I'll even scoff down canned kraut.

Never *permitted* to be picky. The rule in our family was always: eat
what is in front of you or go hungry until the next meal(s). Not being
exceptionally stupid as a sprog, chose the former rather than the
latter. Don't have any food allergies either.

Did your dad make you sit there until all items were gone? I hated
Brussel sprouts when I was young, and of course, back then they were
cooked wrong. Boiled until soggy and gross.

I was stubborn, and step-dad was a.. well I don't want to discuss that.
But I had to sit at the table until they were gone. One time, I stayed
at the table over night, and when they were re-heated and served for my
next dinner, I gave in.

With my two kids, I only required they taste an item. If gross to them,
I just didn't make that item again for them. If the only veggies they
liked were green beans, and corn, I made sure that was part of their diet.

At 37 he is old enough to be excluded from future meals. If similar

This was in the mid 1950's (when I found I liked asparagus) so I probably
took my initial dislike in the 1940's - doubt if it was canned to start -
know it was fresh after. I've never had canned asparagus (that I can
remember) - sounds terrible.
