Put someone’s—anyone’s!—eating habits under the microscope and you might realize just how picky they are. Even if they say that they aren’t. For some folks, tomato juice is a sin that’s been unleashed onto the world. Others absolutely detest celery sneaked into dishes. Others, still, can’t stand it if the salad they order comes uncut.

Redditor u/ahfansaerdet started a discussion on the r/Cooking online community after asking everyone about all the things they dislike in dishes. Things that most people seem to love or that’s been accepted in the cooking world. And they spilled the beans! We’ve collected a list of everyone’s biggest culinary turnoffs, so scroll down to read what they had to say. 

Bored Panda wanted to learn about picky eating, so we reached out to Dana Harron, Psy.D., a licensed clinical psychologist and the founder of Monarch Wellness & Psychotherapy. Dr. Harron is the author of Loving Someone with an Eating Disorder and runs a blog on Psychology Today called Living with Eating Disorders. Read on to see what she told us.

I presume you are referring to the "goop" along the top of the shrimp tail? The vein on the top carries blood from the gills and head to the heart, the one on the bttm carries blood from the body to the heart. Neither carry "poop".

One time in some country - Thailand I think but I honestly can't remember for sure - I got a shrimp omelet from a roadside stand. A bit closer to scrambled eggs than omelet but that was okay. What wasn't okay was the shrimp had full shell on. So - picking off the shells but it's got cooked egg glued to it. To this day I'm not positive if that is how everybody ate them or if he punked me.

It's supposedly because you get more flavour when cooking with them on, but I would give up on that flavour if it meant I didn't have to dig through my meal to remove them.

If they are leaving you ill then there is a handling problem somewhere between where they are harvested and your plate. I was a commercial fisherman and yours is literally the first time I have heard that. ( perhaps you have an allergy? )

    A few years ago, my wife and I were in Paris and ate at a small bistro. At the table next to us sat a young couple from San Francisco, they had each ordered a fish dish. Their fish was served complete with head and tail. Both had never seen fish cutlery, nor knew how a table knife is used. My wife and I gutted their fish without breaking a single bone. After which they told how difficult it was that they had received pizza yesterday, which was not pre-cut.

    We were interested as to why some people are such picky eaters. Dr. Harron, the founder of Monarch Wellness & Psychotherapy, was kind enough to shed some light on the topic. 

    "Picky eaters usually result from a combination of genetics and environment," she explained to us.

    "They may have more sensitivity in terms of food taste and texture, and then if they are not exposed to a variety of foods early on, they may begin to feel like they aren't able to eat a wide variety," Harron told Bored Panda.

    Whenever my mother made a tossed salad she'd tear the salad by hand because a chef on TV said that cutting it with a knife would turn it brown. She obviously missed the part about tearing it into bite size pieces. She used a knife to chop the rest of the salad and made it bite size. Why not tear the lettuce bite size, too, so I don't have to cut it with a knife and fork to keep her from fussing at me? That's why I took over making the salads.

    Grilled romaine is actually fairly common. It holds up to heat far better than say iceberg, and the char that you get from the grill adds extra flavor. Not for everyone obviously but I wouldn't knock it before you try it.

    I still don't get the concept of a grilled salad. Throwing an uncut head of romaine onto a hibachi with the butt of the lettuce still on, just seems unpleasant. The top layers get gross, burnt, and wilted, and the bottom layers don't change at all, it's just unseasoned, undressed raw lettuce! What's the point?

    When there’s a crispy coating on a protein, but then when plating for aesthetics they cover it with a wet salad or sauce so that by the time it gets to the table it’s soaked through. I get that it looks nice, but I want maximum crunch from the breading and not soggy bread party seconds into my meal.

    "If someone is a picky eater, they can begin to expand their culinary tastes by trying small amounts of new and different foods," she suggested taking small steps at first.

    "The only way to expand your comfort zone is to sit outside of it," Dr. Harron said.

    Filipinos - correct me if I'm wrong. Here is my white boy take on that (but I have Filipino relatives / have been to PI many times). 1. Pork adobo is traditionally made (I think) with pork belly, which tends to be a fatty cut. 2. Filipinos make use of the WHOLE animal from crispy skin to the boiled blood. In other words I'm saying that to whoever made it, they may have felt they were giving you a good thing. I can totally get only wanting lean meat but some dishes tend towards being fatty. A Greek roast lamb dinner I like is kind of that way. There are a lot of variations to pork adobo and I've had it super lean where I'm pretty sure they made it out of pork chops or something.

    By the time I’m done cutting my salad, with the fork and knife that I do know how to use, everyone else at the table is done eating. So there’s some validity to this.

    Original salads were uncut. They were leaves with dressing and toppings meant to be eaten by hand. But that was then. Now salads are meant to be eaten with a fork. As such, they should be bite sized. The only exception are salads meant to be eaten with a knife and fork, such as a wedge salad (although some places will chop that up for you).

    The author of the thread, redditor u/ahfansaerdet, has some very understandable pet peeves about food. In their opinion, there shouldn’t be any bones in stews or sauces. They’re also not a fan of cartilage in meals. And that’s fair! Ideally, everything on your plate is edible and you don’t have to get messy with your fingers and/or napkin. Yours truly, for instance, deeply loathes fish that still has bones in the filet. I don’t want to think about the (tiny) possibility of choking while I’m trying to enjoy the exquisitely-prepared dish.

    Meanwhile, other redditors shared their own dislikes. Some, for instance, can’t stand dishes that have shrimp with tails on them if they’re not meant to be eaten by hand. Others don’t like eating salads where the ingredients are mega-sized: they don’t want to cut everything themselves. Still, others can’t stomach ordering meat dishes that are half fat (yuck!). In short, people expect chefs to maintain certain standards, not take the easy way out while picking the ingredients, cooking, and plating everything.

    Getting a salad that's not chopped is infuriating to me. I don't have a chef's knife at the restaurant table. This is especially egregious when the salad is served on a small plate and I have a dull butter knife. It's no wonder so many Americans don't like salads. They've never had a well balanced, chopped salad and instead get a plate of full leaves, giant rings of raw onions, and huge tomato slices on a freaking tiny plate. I'll even order, "can I get this salad chopped please?" And they will stare at me like I'm crazy and tell me that's not possible. Ok, then can I go back there and chop it myself? I know you have a knife! Sir, calm down we are definitely not getting you a near a sharp knife.

    Just like many people have and do, I used to work in a kitchen (have worked in a few actually) and I found myself to often not understand, or to disagree with, the way a restaurant is so buisnesstized. I used to be a fry cook who also made desserts, appetizers and salads. Making a salad meant dumping a small bag of precut and mixed salad onto a crescent moon saucer as an appetizer. Prepping was weighing the lettuce for each serving (2oz.) as I transfer it from a big bag into many smaller ones. I never put a knife to lettuce. Labor is expensive and presliced lettuce is more profitable. Does it cause the lettuce to wilt faster? Yes. Does it create unnecessary waste? Yes. Are the chefs responsible for your large lettuce dislike? Probably not unless they own the restaurant or have creative freedom (most chefs do not have creative freedom). Keeping down things like labor time, meal preparation time, time to table, and consumer turnaround are all part of a restaurant business's decisions.

    Also a lot of Americans seem to have trouble using a knife and fork properly! I'm sorry, I know I'm going to get backlash from this but it's true! They seem to struggle using the fork in their left hand with the prongs pointing down and using the knife in their right hand to cut the food, and then lifting the food in the fork, prongs down, with their left hand! I'm so sorry, I know not all Americans will be like this but it seems that a lot are! I'm so sorry, again!

    While it’s fine to be picky about what you eat, it’s best to focus on the quality of the ingredients and to focus on healthy dishes, rather than to boycott something because you find the texture weird or it ‘looks icky.’ If you go down the latter path, you’re effectively limiting yourself. And it can be quite fun to expand your culinary horizons. 

    ADVERTISEMENT

    For instance, ‘So Yummy!’ points out that some of the top ingredients that people loathe include beets, olives, and cilantro. As it happens, they’re ingredients that yours truly has had a particularly tough time enjoying, growing up. However, after getting the initial ‘ick factor’ and trying the items in different forms and dishes, I’ve genuinely come to enjoy them. Personal growth? In a small but satisfying way—yes! Culinary adventures are a simple, fun way to spice up your life (though I still prefer my beets caramelized rather than raw).

Why the F**K would I want bones in something sticky that I'll have to either awkwardly pick away at with a knife and fork, or have to pick up to eat, which will make my fingers all nasty. Also cartilage seems to fall off and/or somehow always make its way into your mouth so you'll have to chew it and spit it out.

    Because you eat bone-in chicken with your hands, and are expecting to have to eat around the bones. You eat casserole with a fork, and trying to remove the bones from a piece of meat without getting the rest of the dish all over your hands is awkward. Also, I don't know many people who eat soup/stew with a knife & fork.

    As we’ve mentioned on Bored Panda previously, what foods you’re going to enjoy comes down to a mix of nature and nurture: specifically, it depends on your tastebuds, as well as what your relatives cooked for you when you were little. If you’re used to stronger spices because they’re what’s used in your culture’s traditional meals, you’ll be more positively predisposed to spicy food than someone from a different background. Meanwhile, if your parents avoided mushrooms or never really told you to eat your greens, you might find the texture too exotic to enjoy. As 'Your Kids Table' notes, some kids might simply be scared or anxious to try new ingredients. 

    ADVERTISEMENT

    If you’re a parent, you can always try bribery to make your kid try something new or nutritious. There’s nothing like the promise of ice cream or video games to improve someone’s chances of taking a bite out of that weird tiny tree-like thing they call broccoli. However, you shouldn’t force your children to eat something that they absolutely despise. Otherwise, you might create more negative associations in their mind.

    I felt this exact same way until I married my Indian husband. They use green or golden raisins in different savory dishes and it's totally different than the purple ones. The flavor is not as strong it just hands like a tiny mildly sweet burst here and there. Purple raisins should not be used in cooking at all. Use the proper raisins and it's a whole different thing.

    "Uncut Lettuce As Salads": People Share 30 Common Food Trends That They Hate Raw onion. I realize that I am probably on an island on this one but for me, raw onions are one of those things that I just really, really dislike. I find the texture off putting and find once I bite into it, it just takes over completely and that is the only thing I can taste. I have the same reaction to green peppers (cooked or raw) as far as taste goes. Not sure if it's a genetic thing (like people who think cilantro tastes like soap or people who have asparagus pee) but something about raw onions and/or green peppers is just repugnant to me. Oddly, cooked onions I am fine with as I am with yellow/red/orange peppers.

    Lets explain how this dish was created. In the 1930s a bunch of jazz musicians went to a diner late night in Harlem for some classic soul food. And one them on the spot asked from fried chicken on top of waffles. Now if you know about the jazz clubs back then in Harlem, there is a 99% this guy was high a kite. But others heard about it and it caught on.

    freshly picked blueberries are the absolute best. If you have a blueberry farm near you that does fresh picking during the season, I highly recommend. The one near us we go to every year, and we pay by the pound. We always have enough to make two blueberry pies and more! The farm doesn't use pesticides so you can eat the blueberries off of the bush to see if it's a good bush. Amazing, and we leave early so it's not too hot, so I get to watch the sunrise

    Those additions are not weird (OK, maybe basil in chocolate), they're just cooking from different cultures. Chili & chocolate go into mole sauce. Rosewater is used in the Indian dish galub jamun. Orange blossom water is a common ingredient in Morocco, and some Arabic countries add it to their versions of baklava. (I may be misremembering that last one; it might be rosewater that they use.)

    Sugar has its place in tomato sauces if the tomatoes are not quite in season and are a bit tasteless or even bitter. Then a small amount of sugar balances the acidity.

    Use carrots instead of sugar. Carrots naturally turn sweet when cooked and those natural sugars will balance out the acid of tomatoes. You might need to use grated carrot if the dish is more delicate but diced pieces are just find in spaghetti-esk sauces.

It wasn’t horrible, but it added nothing to the flavor. I’m feel like the sugar adding was passed down through generations to correct something that the factory canned stuff already corrected.

    The best "ketchup" I've had with french fries was actually seasoned tomato sauce. I never would have thought that a chain restaurant would have made so much effort and it was so good that I used my french fries to empty the cup from every corner. Usually, ketchup is too sugary and you have to mix it with pepper to make it tastier.

    Capers are the unopened flowerbuds of the caperplant (bush?) that have been pickled. They taste fresh and sour and are used to enhance flavor, for instance in tuna salads or on certain pizzas.

    Although, if I had the option, I would prefer homemade, I sometimes buy a frozen lasagne for when I'm too lazy to cook. For some reason all the gluten free ones don't have bechamel or even cheese on top!

    Celine RM
    Community Member
    2 years ago Created by potrace 1.15, written by Peter Selinger 2001-2017

    Because bechamel is technically made with butter, flour and milk. So if you're looking for gluten-free, you don't want that. Might be possible to get the same thickening reaction with gluten-free flours and/or starch, but yeah. No idea about the cheese though... I know that grated cheese bought in bag is sometimes thinly coated in potato starch or something, to prevent it from sticking and forming a massive block, but that has no gluten. note : I'm French, so my knowledge of processed foods might be different 🙏

    One year my friend went a bit overboard with rosemary in the Thanksgiving turkey. Now every year it's "oh, are we having Rosemary's Turkey again?"

    If you grow your own, then take a couple of sprigs to cook with, and then remove. You'll have the flavour without the greenery. Dried Rosemary is more like eating pine needles - they need to be soaked first.

    Not me, but my partner can't stand sweet and savory together. It's disgusting to them. Even some bbq sauces and ketchup is too sweet. I disagree and think honey glazed ham is delicious but they won't touch it

    Raw fricking tomatoes! I can’t say how many times I’ve asked for none and gotten them anyway, or menus that don’t list them on sandwiches or pasta garnish. I detest them and they ruin dishes either by seeping their vile watery ick onto sandwiches, salads, or burgers, or they adhere to a sauce so you lose half the sauce by scraping them off. Now I just send the plate back if there’s tomatoes, can’t deal with them. Also cilantro, it’s ubiquitous these days and also terrible tasting to me. Not in the soapy way of genetics, just generally gross. I don’t know how it became so popular even in Tex-mex dishes because it was never present in anything I ever ordered until about 25 years ago. Both are things I wish I enjoyed.

    It’s sad because home grown tomatoes can be really good but most commercial ones are grown for looks, not flavor, and are therefore absolutely vile.

    I've heard that they are more grown for sturdiness and shelf life. I've heard no one call a normal grocery store tomato a looker. Though it is true that they are uniformally bland looking and tasting.

    I wonder what's in raw tomatoes that deteriorates with cooking, because same. Cook your sauce for three hours and I'll still spend the rest of the night in the bathroom. I may be allergic to something, but tomato soup, ketchup, and even sieved tomatoes are fine.

    It's possible to be allergic to a food item raw and be fine with it cooked when the heat has broken down whatever in them causes the reaction. Cabbage is the same way for me

    Mango and miso. I’ve tried them so many times, in so many ways and I just can’t stand them. I’m not the biggest fan of curry either.

    I have no issues with bone-in meat - more flavour - BUT I hate it when the bones have bit chopped mid-bone, not just at joints. When I get a small piece of meat, I expect it to be bone-free. It's easy to eat around a full-sized bone. I don't like melted cheese other than: mozarella (pizza, lasagna), eggplant parmesean, burgers, fondue, french onion soup, grilled cheese, macaroni and cheese (and iterations w protein/veg.) It does nothing for me at all when I see it on like a random chicken breast, steak or stuffed in most things that make no sense to me. They end up kind of salty, greasy. Undercooked mushrooms where they are kind of slimy.

    I agree about the mushrooms. I absolutely love them if they are cooked properly but they aren't pleasant if they are slimy. Can't agree about cheese, though. In my opinion, there isn't much that can't be improved by melting some cheese on it!

    Chopped walnuts in desserts like carrot cake or brownies. My mom’s candied yams. Canned yams mixed with booze and tons of brown sugar and cinnamon and then topped with marshmallows and baked. It’s so sweet…too sweet. Raisins…I hate raisins. Great way to ruin a cinnamon roll. Olives. If there are olives in it, I’m picking them out or skipping the meal. Black olives to me taste like a mixture of salt and the can they were in. Very metallic tasting to me.

    Black olives (especially the crappy export ones) do exactly taste like salt and the can they were in, because they are literally painted black and dowsed in other chemicals during processing. Now, if you'd ever had the opportunity and pleasure to taste Kalamon olives, the real deal, you'd change your mind in a heartbeat. Signed, someone who has been there, done that

    All recipes for carrot cake call for walnuts or pecans. So, what the OP likes is an adoration of the original and not likely to be found easily unless homemade specifically for him/her/them.

    Before Europe had potatoes, the main vegetable was peas. Dried peas were the winter staple and 'pease pudding' was a dish served to king and pauper alike. So, peas have a place in our food, particularly now with frozen, which are tasty, easy to cook, and a good source of fibre. Rather have peas than munch on bran.....
