45 Jokes And Memes That Have Picky Eaters Feeling Called Out
For those who’ve never had a problem with potatoes viciously touching the meat on your plate like in Michelangelo’s famous fresco “The Creation Of Adam,” eating is like a walk in the park. When the sun it’s out, it’s fun, and when it’s raining, you just try to get it over with.
But for the gang of picky eaters, having food go into your stomach is something not to be taken light-heartedly. You gotta calibrate, engineer, and foresee the products, tastes, and combinations before they hit the tongue, and even then, there should always be a plan B.
So this time, we’re gonna see what picky eating is all about, as shared by the selective foodies themselves, who seem to have an excellent sense of humor. From having your friend’s mom tell you she’s made food for you to that cursed feeling when seeing the menu in a restaurant feels like you made a mistake, these are some real-life situations but with a humorous twist.

I am getting better at this. I do need to remember that just because I didn’t like it as a child doesn’t mean I won’t like it now.

One reason why I always eat the same thing at restaurants is because I don’t want to waste money on something I may not like. And also because I know my choice is pretty safe (not always).

I warn everyone I know beforehand that I'm a very picky eater and if I don't eat they don't have to take it personal. Most people now text me with their plans for when I come over and if I will hate it I bring my own food.

I'd just have the bacon to be fair. But on toast. With HP Brown sauce.

No it's not. It's amazing different the experience is between food you don't like and food you do. Good food is fun. Bad food is torture.

Cilantro, that is another story. There is scientific evidence that people are genetically determined to have cilantro taste like soap. I do like it, but not too much.

This is my son. Every year for his bday we'll go to his FAVOURITE restaurant. It's buffet restaurant, with more then 100 dishes. Every time he only eat chicken nuggets with fries and vanilla ice cream. No sauces, no other foods, foods can't be touching.

I'm like the opposite of a picky eater. If the food is too boring, I won't eat it. If I've eaten the food too much in the last few months, I don't want it. I can force myself to eat almost anything but boring food is my worst.

I'm the same, my partner calls me a food snob but I just like good tasty food! Bland food is the worst. Always so disappointing when you're looking forward to a meal and it falls way before standard!

For the picky eaters who don't like certain fruits and vegetables, keep in mind a couple things; not all produce is equal, texture and taste can vary wildy depending on whether it's fresh, frozen, local, seasonal, the variety itself, or if it's ripe/overripe at that moment. Tomatoes get that mushy mealy texture from the fridge, it makes all the difference to keep them out of the cold.

And have a guess what tomatoes most food outlets use: fresh and ripe or cold-stored and unripe? I worked at a fruit/veg market that supplies to most of the restaurants and cafes around here - pretty decently sized area. Most tomatoes they send out are green. Worked in kitchens for more than 15 years, and most places want them like that. They'll sit in the box for a week and ripen up, but they'll usually be being used before that. It's very hard to get tomatoes in bulk on demand and ripe.

I have adult restrictive food intake disorder (basically so picky it’s a diagnosis). It would have to literally be life or death for me to eat a lot of things.
