I mean, I’m vegan, I don’t want her to eat fish tacos. But she was telling me the other day that her friend ordered some and she thought for a moment about trying it, but in the end she was afraid they would be too spicy. I told her they’re not, but she has it in her head that fish tacos are some strange foreign food that will fuck up her taste buds or something. A grown ass adult afraid to try fish tacos.
Then you have my dad. He is surprisingly cool with me being vegan, doesn’t really care. He’s never criticized or made fun. But he will never eat any vegan meal I prepare. Why? Because he won’t eat any entree that doesn’t have meat in it. He just refuses. Like an adult baby. My mom has asked him to just try eating a salad but he won’t. Absolutely zero interest in trying anything new that he thinks he won’t like.
Old white people are weird.
I have a lot of extremely fussy eating friends. It is beyond frustrating to try and cook anything for them. "I don't like the texture" seems to be the prevailing excuse for not wanting to eat something like a mushroom or lentils or whatever. Just eat it you fussy child!
Are they neurodiverse? Cause like, thats an actual thing with us (and being told to "Grow up" over it is really unhelpful).
Like if they're NT and they're like that sure but there's a reason I dont like that rhetoric (even though I personally am not that much of a picky eater).
