And the worst part is they will say that about something like mushrooms, aka God tier food, and then I'll be like, Me: "Well, have you had a lionsmane or an oyster mushroom? The texture is WAY different" Them: "No, but I know I wouldn't like it because of the texture." Me: "..."
It’s why I hate mushrooms. The texture doesn’t match the flavor to any degree. It’s mushy yet also firm, and the flavor doesn’t go with it at all. Confuses the hell out of me
@@corranthomas9164 but literally every person who has ever said this has never had a lionsmane mushroom or an oyster mushroom which are radically different in texture. That's my point.
@Bending River Yeah I agree, if the texture is different than it usually is, there's no excuse to say they don't like the texture then. However, I hate the taste of most mushrooms. I've never tried the kind you mentioned though, I'll have to check them out!
@@Katb420 I'd argue all mushrooms taste different, but I'm also a chef? Lions Mane definitely don't taste as strongly of "earthy mushroom" as a button or shiitake
This is hilarious, of course, but I’m still too close to this issue and it’s triggering. 😂😂😂 I’m going to watch this with my picky eater. The Brussels sprouts on a date is a compelling argument. “No, Brenda, I’ll be ordering the dunkaroos.”

@@yousaid4026 I am not the op but I was a very picky eater as a child, meals were always a battle ground, I think the “negative attention is till attention” thing played a role. And although I am a vegan, I eat pretty much anything vegan and am very adventurous with my food now as an adult. My children are not picky at all but in our home meals have always been pleasant family time and the children from when they started weaning could explore food and decide for themselves what and how much to eat and they just ate normal food cut into appropriate easy to hold shapes not purées (it’s called “baby-led weaning”). I am not sure if any of that is the reason why my children are not picky or if I just lucked out 😂
@@yousaid4026 One of the reasons is that it is a survival technique passed down from our ancestors, found from SmithsonianMag’s “Why Are You a Picky Eater? Blame Genes, Brains and Breast Milk”. I also found some interesting background from Kitch’N Giggles’ “The Ultimate Guide to Dealing with Picky Eaters”
My biggest fear as a parent is that my kids won’t outgrow their pickiness and will be like this as adults. Son: can you buy lunchables? Me: I offered you Ritz crackers, ham, and cheese and you rejected them. Son: but the cookie. Me: so you just want a cookie for lunch? 🤦🏻♀️
Ikr! Me: I need to know that you'll be able to eat when I'm not there to carefully curate your bento boxes of processed foods and specially cut fruits. 🤣 I feel like I need an app to keep track of all these food preferences. I only like pickles with hamburgers and such. No wonder parents are crazy! 😵💫
It’s not a sickness, it’s a survival technique passed down from our ancestors (source: SmithsonianMag’s “Why Are You a Picky Eater? Blame Genes, Brains and Breast Milk”.)
When you cook tomatoes theres a chemical reaction that happens that changes the flavor of the food. Thats why ketchup tastes different from raw tomatoes
And the seeds don't slime... Yeah it makes logical sense. But picky eaters are still annoying. 🤣 Even to themselves, I daresay. It's this close to being a disability...of privilege!!! Not always funny actually. Such a first world problem, imho.
I worked with a picky eater. Every group lunch revolved around her. On my last day i got to pick the place for my fairwell meal. Of course she made a big stink about the place i picked and wanted to pick the place. We ended up going where i picked and in she walks with her McDonald's bag. She thought she was quirky but people actually thought she was just a weirdo.
Sounds like she was just kind of a rude person, though, beyond the pickiness. My boyfriend is a super picky eater (whereas I come from a big family where if you want to eat, you'd better eat what's in front of you, and quickly, so your siblings don't take it first), but he always just tries to make the best of his options and never tries to limit where we go out. I stress and worry sometimes when my family has him over, or I'm going to cook something, but he always tells me not to worry about it - even if all he has on his plate is a piece of meat. The well-done steak thing killed me though
She's not (just) a picky eater, she's self centred and rude. No matter where you eat there will always be something basic that anyone can enjoy like fries or chicken or something like that
@@radhiadeedou8286 there are some restaurants that mess up the 'basics', too. Like, they'll have fries, but they're tossed in truffle oil, or the chicken is all grilled (I hate the smoky taste of anything grilled), or the hamburger has mayo on it (that they didn't mention on the menu)...
@@Amcsae you just have to be specific when you order, when my daughter was a toddler she would only eat fries at restaurants (which was weird cause she ate anything at home) and would freak out if they had anything on them like cheese or something, after that happened once or twice we started telling the waiters to not put anything on the fries except salt. Also just because something isn't to your taste doesn't mean they messed it up, other people might like it
okay I'm kinda like this but I hope I don't come off as rude...? Like one day for DND my friend said he was gonna order dinner for all of us from a local Italian place. I'm picky both out of preference and necessity, and I can't have pasta and I figured that was gonna be most of the options. I meant to just eat dinner at home but I got overloaded with homework and ran out of time so I hit the McDonald's drive-thru on the way to DND so that there'd be something I knew I could eat. One of my friends gave me a really hard time over it but most of them defended me
I told my picky eater he's going to have to prepare for a life where he can't enjoy restaurants or maybe even parties because of this taste bud disability, and keep hoping I can get him to keep challenging the limitations of his young palate. The world has such good food to offer!
This 100% my 9 year son!! 🤣 Actually I showed it to him and when it came to the tomatoes and ketchup, he exclaimed, "That's me!! 100% me!" with a huge smile on his face! 🤣 Hopefully his palette grows as he gets older...
I'm not picky when it comes to flavors, but I am picky when it comes to textures. Something could taste amazing, but if the texture's weird, I can't eat it. 🙁
I honestly can't be friends with people like this. I had a ton of picky food issues as a child that I worked to get over. Everyone is allowed dislikes and preferences, but when their entire pallet is chicken nuggets and sugar I just can't do it. So many of them don't even try. Zero vegetables even as an adult who can cook them however they want.
Oh come on, everybody knows tomatoes taste completely different as a sauce. Ketchup, salsa (as long as it’s not too chunky), spaghetti sauce are all fine. But a can of diced, or god forbid, a whole tomato is revolting.
I eat both tomatoes and ketchup, but it bothers me so much when people use the argument that ketchup is tomatoes so if you like one you should like the other. They taste so different!
I love tomatoes and even I think it’s stupid when people say that. Ketchup flavor is mostly sugar & vinegar, the texture of a tomato is totally different, plus they’re cold!
The best thing about picky eaters is that the human body bases its diet off of what we've ate before. So a picky eater who never eats anything just stays a picky eater, because their body hasn't had anything other than what they already like.
do they know that picky eaters and texture/sensory issues are usually linked to neurodivergence? (this is coming from a neurodivergent picky eater because of sensory issues lmao)
Worked at a convention hotel. We looked at the info for an upcoming wedding and the groom had a special meal request- Mac and cheese and chicken tenders
I have a little guy who is particular. I actually turned that into a joke on him and it's been working! Me: You gotta try one bite. Him: *tries a bite while putting on a grimace* Me: Omg look! Is he....did he...did you DIE?!?! Him: *dramatic death scene*, follows with giggles. And half the time, he actually says "ok that was kinda ok!"
@@RedCurlyQ1 Lol, you're a gem. You sound like a fun parent. Humor solves so many problems. I gotta take life less seriously sometimes and employ this more with my kids
One time a male friend poked fun at me for liking ketchup but not tomatoes, said something about me being a complicated woman. Then I came to realize that he liked tomatoes but not ketchup. He looked at me and just shrugged, and said "I didn't say I wasn't also a complicated woman."
Thank you! Some tomatoes are hard and gross. Ketchup has ingredients added to it, like tomato, to make sauce. It’s not just puréed tomato. I used to argue this fact with my parents as a kid. I can handle a real homegrown tomato but not a store one. Totally different lol.
@@raimeyewens7518 haha yes it’s a very unfair comparison. As far as the other things in this video… I cannot defend that😳 but ketchup and tomatoes; nope totally different
I hate spinach and romaine lettuce...They make me gag and everytime I go to someone's house for dinner I suffer in silence as a panic attack in the form of salad hits the back of my throat and creates the overwhelming urge to vomit
I really don't understand people who say you have to try something to know if it tastes good. Has there ever been a food that smelled bad, looked bad and felt bad but tasted good?
I haven’t tried it, but I hear that durian is like that. They say if you can get past the smell, it’s delicious. I probably couldn’t do it, though. Haha
I was a picky eater as a kid and still have a bunch of residual habits. I am definitely that person who wants only a cheese pizza, and avoids the crust...
For me, the most frustrating thing about picky eaters is that I know they're missing out on so much. Not just the foods themselves, which is immense, but also everything around it. Like any time they travel, they must worry about being able to eat anything. Going to a foreign country would be a nightmare, if not totally impossible. Even something like having a meal at a friend's house. It's so limiting.
As a picky eater, thank you for thinking beyond the obvious. I can't see myself traveling in other cultures, and sometimes avoid mealtimes when I visit friends because I don't want to eat there. After we moved, I still will happily drive 1+ hour away to go to restaurants in my old neighborhood, because I can't stand the options in the new town.
This is actually my biggest fear about traveling. I want to travel and am not a crazy picky eater, but I’m terrified of having something that I literally could not be able to swallow.
I eat pretty much everything except mayo and mushrooms. My middle child though refuses to eat most cooked veggies, most fruits and could live off of starch. Rice, white bread, pretzels, etc. Yet, I make cauliflower hashbrowns and bean burgers and barbecue meatloaf and she eats those. The lack of flavor isn't what it is with her. Still trying to figure her out.
It's the not being able to figure them out!!!...and my picky eaters have changing taste buds where they'll suddenly dislike a one-time favorite and I'm like, which foods are left to choose from? 🤣 My mom taught me to sneak all kinds of chopped veggies in. Meatloaf, spaghetti, etc is definitely getting some almost-food-processed carrots, bell peppers, onions... Even broccoli or spinach in small amounts sometimes. Marinara sauces and thick stews hide some good nutrients. 😆 I'm still trying to figure it out though. I feel like I need an app for that.
PsQ, I do the same. I puree peppers, carrots, onion and celery in my meatloaf. I cook them to get water out and then add to the meatloaf mix. It's something like 1 lb of veggies to a lb and a half of meat. And they gobble it up
I'm such a picky eater that when my friends or family say we should go to a resturant I tell them not to ask me for suggestions because that would severely limit which places they could go. I'll find something somewhere, I don't want them to stop inviting me because we go to like one place every time we hang out. But at the same time I love vegetables and anything other than wheat bread can jump off a cliff.
@@californiapoppy I was the same way. I would choose not to eat rather than gag. I refuse to make my kids feel that way. I grew out of my eating habits. They will too.
@@californiapoppy Thanksgiving in particular was hell for me. I'd sit at the table for hours with a plate of mashed potatoes, baked beans, and whatever else I can't remember. Eventually my parents would be exasperated and let me go to my room, but man, sitting at the dining table in front of cold food that makes your stomach turn is some kind of torture.
“For the kiddo at home” will always make me laugh.

Ketchup is far removed from tomatoes. It starts with processed cooked tomatoes, includes vinegar and several sweeteners and ends with some flavorings.
"Ketchup only" was my sister's favorite way to order food as a kid. We still tease her about it and she still hates tomatoes.

Durian is definitely one, there are a number of very stinky cheeses also which are magnificent. I'll never try casu martzu though. I have limits!
This!!
We made our kids eat all different kinds of dinner. But.. downside, our teenage sons literally inhaled our sushi leftovers. 🤦🏻♀️
The Papa John’s joke got me
This is literally my boyfriend, to all of these! Plain cheese pizza, loves ketchup and bloody Mary’s, hates tomatoes. I do not understand 😂
I'm the opposite - don't like ketchup, LOVE tomatoes!!😂👏🏾
Alright let’s not act like liking ketchup but not tomatoes is ridiculous 😂 the inside of a tomato is like snot 🤢
Love the inside jokes. OG Ghosties know
He’d starve in Japan. 😂
Okay, you didn’t need to call me out like that…literally everything said is something that has come out of my mouth
I was a picky eater as a kid and still have a bunch of residual habits. I am definitely that person who wants only a cheese pizza, and avoids the crust...
Same here!
I'm Autistic with ARFID and this video was made for me.
Loved the ending "fail"!!
“Your 30” 🤣🤣
It IS a texture thing and you absolutely CANNOT just “scrape” the mayo off!!!
For me, the most frustrating thing about picky eaters is that I know they're missing out on so much. Not just the foods themselves, which is immense, but also everything around it. Like any time they travel, they must worry about being able to eat anything. Going to a foreign country would be a nightmare, if not totally impossible. Even something like having a meal at a friend's house. It's so limiting.
As a picky eater, thank you for thinking beyond the obvious. I can't see myself traveling in other cultures, and sometimes avoid mealtimes when I visit friends because I don't want to eat there.
After we moved, I still will happily drive 1+ hour away to go to restaurants in my old neighborhood, because I can't stand the options in the new town.
This is actually my biggest fear about traveling. I want to travel and am not a crazy picky eater, but I’m terrified of having something that I literally could not be able to swallow.
If there's a part two, include just buttered spaghetti noodles lol!
I’m not a picky eater but my grandmother is. If it’s green it’s not going in her mouth. 😂😊
I eat pretty much everything except mayo and mushrooms. My middle child though refuses to eat most cooked veggies, most fruits and could live off of starch. Rice, white bread, pretzels, etc. Yet, I make cauliflower hashbrowns and bean burgers and barbecue meatloaf and she eats those. The lack of flavor isn't what it is with her. Still trying to figure her out.
It's the not being able to figure them out!!!...and my picky eaters have changing taste buds where they'll suddenly dislike a one-time favorite and I'm like, which foods are left to choose from? 🤣
My mom taught me to sneak all kinds of chopped veggies in. Meatloaf, spaghetti, etc is definitely getting some almost-food-processed carrots, bell peppers, onions... Even broccoli or spinach in small amounts sometimes. Marinara sauces and thick stews hide some good nutrients. 😆
I'm still trying to figure it out though. I feel like I need an app for that.
PsQ, I do the same. I puree peppers, carrots, onion and celery in my meatloaf. I cook them to get water out and then add to the meatloaf mix. It's something like 1 lb of veggies to a lb and a half of meat. And they gobble it up
@@lesliekanengiser8482 🤗 secret veggie feast! 🤣
When Trey says, "You're 30!" at 1:38. 😂
I knew I was gonna get called out here damn 😫😆
Even the cover for this video 😂
I feel attacked 😭 but yes this is how it is and it’s so embarrassing but I just can’t eat other foods
I'm going to need a cut of the royalties for my biopic.
I'm such a picky eater that when my friends or family say we should go to a resturant I tell them not to ask me for suggestions because that would severely limit which places they could go. I'll find something somewhere, I don't want them to stop inviting me because we go to like one place every time we hang out.
But at the same time I love vegetables and anything other than wheat bread can jump off a cliff.
This is what its like feeding my children. I wasn’t allowed to be a picky eater when I was a kid
To have a picky eater when we weren't allowed to be one: is torture! 🤣
@@californiapoppy I was the same way. I would choose not to eat rather than gag. I refuse to make my kids feel that way. I grew out of my eating habits. They will too.
@@californiapoppy Thanksgiving in particular was hell for me. I'd sit at the table for hours with a plate of mashed potatoes, baked beans, and whatever else I can't remember. Eventually my parents would be exasperated and let me go to my room, but man, sitting at the dining table in front of cold food that makes your stomach turn is some kind of torture.
The elementary school charcuterie: Lunchables 😂
This video described me almost way too accurately. So this is what my friends here when I order food! 😬
Even when you tell people salsa, ketchup, etc has tomatoes in them they still eat it.
No shame in the immature palate game. I got you.
