Whoever considers picky eating a problem can take it up with me, my friend is one, which simply means I get to eat the stuff she doesn’t want to, and she can order something she might not like, knowing I will eat it anyways. It’s a win win
Additional thanks from a fella whose brain reacts to weird textures in my food by gagging or vomiting. It’s so embarrassing, especially around friends.
I used to have that with zucchinis for whatever reason, so I definitely understand where you’re coming from. First time eating quiche years ago was hell, nowadays I love it
I’m autistic and the opposite of a picky eater. That being said, when introducing people to new food you have to be extremely patient with them. A lot of things look, feel, and smell different that what most people are used to
My 4 year old is autistic and definitely didn’t get the picky eating thing out of the autism grab bag. This morning he mixed rice (with soy sauce) & relish and gobbled it up 🤮
Then I went to a series of ayahuasca and peyote ceremonies, and I can eat anything.
I remember the moment I rewired by damn throat muscles because I had a mouth full of peyote and it would be impolite and weak to spit it back out. My throat refused to swallow, and I went low-level for the first time since being a little kid and rewrote my swallowing firmware just to make it go down the hatch.

As a father who either has to prepare the same meals over and over, or else make two separate meals, I do not share your positive outlook
It gets much better when the kids become co-responsible of their own alimentation.
It smacks of Victorian literature. I’ll be adding this one to my verbiage, thanks.
Leave it to us non-native English speakers to bring up extremely obscure English words out of nowhere.
Thank you friend, from an autistic person with food issues.

I have two or three foods that cause that reaction. I’ve just said that I’m allergic. Saves a lot of explanation.
In a way, you are.

Bananas for me.
Tbf, the only time I ever found cooked zucchini acceptable was in homemade bread.
What about cucumbers? I got a love-hate relationship with those
🤔

Is that a picture of your son eating that relish?
I’m autistic, was a really picky eater.
