What the hell is curry? How about we get a burger?

I think, like I said in my previous post, that we can generalize it in the big 5 personality psychology framework (OCEAN). That is, these things come together in the openness to experience category. Someone who is a picky eater is likely to rank low on this personality trait so we should see this extend into diverse areas like music, movies, and yes, sex too. Sex is just one other place where there a ton of things out there that can be tried and a person who ranks low on OtE would be less willing than a person who ranks highly. The only flaw I find in it is that I was a very picky eater as a kid, but then became incredibly open to new things as a grew older. This openness extended to other things so I don't know if it was a function of the things I learned and experiences I was force fed (no pun intended), or if this was just a natural change that would have happened regardless of the new experiences I was forced into. It certainly feels like at one point in life I made a concerted effort to experiencing and learning new things, but that could just be a rationalization.

 

I'm sure there are tons of medical articles that would disagree with me, but I don't find any correlation between what I choose to eat and what I choose to do in the bed. As noted, I am a picky eater, but as far as being adventurous in the sack really depends on the girl for me. I've had girls that literally only liked to do two positions (missionary & her on top) and I've been with girls that are freaks.* I'm ok with both but would prefer the freakier girl. Some of the girls I didn't know well enough to know what their diet consisted of, but there were a few that were "normal" eaters. Liked some stuff and not other food. Can't think of a girl that was freaky that was willing to try "anything" food wise



*not scootah freaky.

 

I don't think anyone is saying that your taste buds and sexual deviance are related. Judging by your list of things that you don't like, I assume you figured that out through trial and error, trying new things before deciding whether or not you will like them. Most of the people I know who eat like six year olds will not try anything new at all, if it's not something they grew up eating they immediately write it off.

For example you listed guacamole, I'm assuming you tried a bite of it and thought it sucked. My last girlfriend also says she doesn't like guacamole, she's never even tasted avocado.

 

I am a fairly adventurous eater and consider myself a moderately accomplished home cook. There are very few foods that I will not eat, mainly due to their rancid taste on my tongue. Raw onions and mushrooms are probably the only noteworthy offenders. Everything else is pretty much fair game if it is prepared right. I also do not understand "texture people" in the least. "I just can't get over the texture/mouth feel" has to be one of the stupidest things I've ever heard in regards to food.

I dated this crazy chick that was the WORST picky eater imaginable. She pretty much lived off of cheese pizza, spaghetti-os, and sweet and sour chicken takeout. She could not cook anything to save her life either. It was impossible to cook for this bitch or even take her out to eat anywhere but McDonalds. My scratch made spaghetti sauce? It had noticeable chunks of tomatoes and onions in it. Meatloaf? Meat should not be "shaped like a loaf". God forbid the stupid cunt put anything green in her mouth, it might be the end of the world. She would also not even begin to think about eating anything that came from a pig or from the sea because they are "disgusting animals that shouldn't exist". Bacon, ham, sausage, shrimp, salmon, crab, lobster, BBQ ribs, she couldn't even stand the sight of them.

But none of that really mattered in the end because to this day she gave me the best blowjobs of my entire life. That girl was hot and could work a penis like no porn star I've ever witnessed.

My new girlfriend is awesome and will try anything once. If she doesn't like the flavor or texture she will be honest and tell me she doesn't want to eat it, but she is not that picky. She doesn't like fish which sucks because it is my favorite but it isn't a huge issue. She doesn't get made if I want to make shrimp stir fry for myself and just cook her a burger or something instead. She also gives a pretty good blowjob but nothing will ever compare to batshit crazy picky eater girl.

 

I am not very picky, but there is a small selection of certain things I can't just eat. Namely: raisins (the worst), prunes, beets, asparagus, oysters (I know, I know), olives or anything REALLY spicy. I wish I could eat spicier stuff, but it can trigger migraines sometimes and that's not a risk I'm willing to take. This puts a damper on going to my favourite place in the States: Arizona, with all the south-west heaven you guys cook down there. I have to order pussy versions.

I like trying other things when I'm in other places, but I've only been to half a dozen countries or so. Thankfully two of the cities were Amsterdam and Paris, which have food to die for (They really DO call Quarter Pounders "Royale with Cheese!" there. Ha!). I especially loved the food in Holland. Awesome restaurants. Shitty pancake syrup, though. WTF Orangey?

I like trying new things. The Cooking Thread on this site is a great place to look for starters, if you haven't checked it out. I've grabbed some fantastic barbecue feasts from it.

 

So... Basically you're saying I could lather up my dick with BBQ sauce and stop over at your place for a BJ? I mean if taste is all you care about just let me know what your favorite brand is and I'll pick it up on the way.

 

Are you implying that the thing currently stopping you from sucking BBQ dick is the texture?

 

Yes? I mean isn't that what stops most guys from sucking BBQ dick is the feeling and sensation of having a dick in one's mouth?

 

This certainly explains your unwillingness to enjoy a chocolate dipped banana.

COME ON!

 

I know, I know, my pickiness always gets in the way of me getting laid, but I am that I am.

 

I am as about non picky an eater as I know. I pride myself I will try everything at least once. And if a few years have passed on something I don't like, I will try it again just to see if my palate has changed. I have never been to a restaurant where I couldn't find something to eat and enjoy. So my dietary needs are almost non existent when trying to choose a place to grab a bite. That brings me to my only irritation as far as eating goes. If you are a picky eater who will shoot down every suggestion I make until I start naming places I know you like, do not fucking ask me where I want to eat! I understand I like things that you don't, you like places I don't prefer as well, but I can eat there. The whole "What do you want? Well I don't like that." conversation drives me fucking nuts. I know I'm more flexible than you, that is why I would rather just pick the restaurant. Because I know I'm probably going to be eating at a place that I'm not crazy about, I would not have a bullshit veneer of choosing to do so.

 

I can't be arsed to look it up at the moment, but since everyone was talking about food and sex a page back: I remember reading an article a few years back, which mentioned a study that suggested that enjoyment of spicy foods could be linked to masochism.

 

That wouldn't surprise me. There's a dude I work with who likes being tied and flogged, and he eats ghost pepper hot sauce on his eggs in the morning. Shit's insane, but he can eat a spoon of it without flinching.

 

Uh-oh, I like spicy food. Shit.

 

That reads like a terrible Cosmo quiz. "Find Out What His Food Preferences Say About His Preferences In The Sack!!!!"

"My favorite color is blue! That means I'm deep and mysterious!"

I love spicy foot. Not into masochism. Myth debunked.

 

When I was a kid I hated vegetables. I have gotten to a point now where I can eat almost anything if it is served to me, but I am still bad about not ordering or cooking vegetables for myself when I can choose....which is almost always. I am another one who will try anything once and will give foods that I didn't like at one point another try a few years down the road.

The foods that I dislike the most are mushrooms, brussels sprouts, raisins, onions, and sushi, but I can even eat those if I absolutely have to. If I had to pick the worst food that I have ever had and ate recently it would probably be either caviar or steak tartare.

 

I can't remember the last time I ran across a better typo.
