I made a conscious decision in my mid-20s to stop being so picky.

Best decision I've ever made. No regrets, at all. There is so much to discover in the world. Why would you limit yourself?

I really feel like some people cling to listing the foods they don't like as some unique part of their personality. Like they picked it at their character selection screen and they're sticking with it.

I'm knocking on the door of 60. There's three things I don't like and one I wouldn't try.

I don't like broad beans (aka fava beans), Brussels sprouts, or peas. One of the best things about being an adult is being able to say 'No, thanks'. I try them again every few years, just to check. With peas and sprouts I still hate the taste horribly. Broad beans can taste alright but have to be properly prepared and cooked and it's just easier to say no because when they're not right they're the thing I dislike the most.

The one thing I wouldn't try would be balut. The idea just makes my skin crawl for some reason.

[–] DJKJuicy@sh.itjust.works 1 points 23 hours ago* (last edited 23 hours ago) (1 children)

I had balut in the Philippines when I visited around 2008.

Not my favorite thing to eat, but I could see how some people like it.

If you ever get to the Philippines give it a try! Ask for the "young" balut so it's more like an egg and less like a baby duck.

And yeah, almost all beans have to be prepared right to be good. If it's just mush then it's overcooked.

No thanks!

Uncooked onions can be pretty overpowering to me, burying the taste of everything else. Grilled onions, on the other hand, overpower everyone near me after they've been digested and farted out.

[–] Vespair@lemmy.zip 2 points 21 hours ago

Onions are gross. Shallots however, are divine

[–] Bluewing@lemmy.world 7 points 1 day ago

There is no life without The Trinity! (onion, garlic, peppers)

But there are people that just can't eat some foods without digestive repercussions. And food tolerances can even change as we age. I used to love eating peanuts and other tree nuts. But as I have aged, my digestive tract can no longer tolerate eating them except in small amounts. But I now pile on the herbs and spices when I cook. I want strong bold flavors in my food as I have aged.

Life, it seems is weird and changing.

Look, onions are like anal sex. If you were forced or tricked into having it as a kid, chances are you don’t want it when you become an adult.

[–] uncouple9831@lemmy.zip 85 points 1 day ago (13 children)

I assume this was produced by a 23-year-old who thinks adulthood means something. They'll learn.

Onions and peppers? At that point you’re basically ordering ‘food, but with the flavor DLC removed.

[–] trslim@pawb.social 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

my husband hates onions. not the flavor, but the texture.

[–] Daefsdeda@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 day ago

This also made me find out I have autism🥲

[–] sp3ctr4l@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

Wait, why not all three?

You can reasonably use all three in an omellette or rice based dish or soups or many other possible kinds of meals.

... And ... there are many kinds of onions, peppers and corn, and many ways of preparing them for inclusion in some kind of food.

[–] ulterno@programming.dev 2 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

You can also mix diced onions with corn kernels, and spray some lemon an black pepper on top and it would be good to eat.
Although I find raw onion to be too strong to eat in such proportions, a few fistfuls should be fine.

[–] sp3ctr4l@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 22 hours ago

Yeah, that's a great example!

You can make a bit of a salad outta that with some kind of leafy green, as a main portion of all that, maybe some croutons or broken up tortilla chips, i dunno.

Like hell, uh... proper sauerkraut. Korean pickled onions, radishes, cabbage.

People will just eat that shit as a whole meal, I've seen it, even dated someone who did at one point.

And its usually at least as, if not more pungent than raw onions, unless you just chopped those onions.

Personally, that's a bit wild for my tastes, but... I'm not German or Korean.

[–] theuniqueone@lemmy.dbzer0.com 37 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Hey you can defend onions and peppers without slandering corn.

[–] ObviouslyNotBanana@piefed.world 30 points 1 day ago (5 children)

I could but I don't want to

Every time I eat onions, it takes about 5 minutes until it feels like someone is repeatedly stabbing me in the guts with a rusty knife. So yeah I avoid them

[–] pahlimur@lemmy.world 1 points 20 hours ago

I know someone who was allergic to onion and garlic. Their food choices made me sad, but yeah, go get checked for food allergies if you can. That not being weird enough, lymphatic cancer cured them of the allergy.

I avoided onions and peppers when I was younger because I was a picky ass eater.

Now I avoid onions because I realized I can’t properly digest them and the make my tummy sad.

[–] smh@slrpnk.net 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

My partner's in the same boat.

What's wicked sad is he loves garlic but it doesn't love him. He can have garlic oil but that's about it (something to do with FODMAPs).

[–] simplejack@lemmy.world 2 points 22 hours ago

Might want to also try powers, cooking the shit out of the alliums, or cooking with the bulbs then removing the bulbs before serving. Get the flavor without the high FODMAP fructans.

I’m also trying to see what I can do to build back the gut bacteria which would normally process that stuff correctly. Probiotics + slowly reintroducing the alliums over a long period of time.

[–] notabot@piefed.social 49 points 2 days ago (5 children)

I was a picky ass eater.

That's something we should all be picky about.

It's the influence of CornHub on our youth.

Corn is not like that in real life!

[–] raspberriesareyummy@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Off topic: who is that actress?

[–] roserose56@lemmy.zip 4 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Same, asking for a friend!

[–] raspberriesareyummy@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Did a reverse image search - appears to be Leighton Meester, in a role as "Blair Waldorf" from Gossip Girls.
