(6,336 posts)For example, when I have a burger, I want nothing but meat and cheese. No ketchup, no mustard, no pickle, no veggies, no lettuce, tomato, etc(I like most veggies off a burger/sandwich, despise ketchup and mustard, and you could not pay me to eat a pickle--- the smell of cucumbers makes me gag). For sandwiches, all I want is meat and cheese too. I don't want my foods to be crunchy.
I've gotten better over the years, but a lot of the things I won't eat (ie cucumbers) come from me being forced to eat them as a child. My parents never cooked any veggies (I've had texture issues my entire life) and I did not discover cooked veggies with a good sauce until I was an adult. It was always carrot sticks, celery sticks, and cucumbers for the veggie option (all raw).
