Fuck you I’ll live however the fuck I want
The actual ‘grown up’ take.
If you judge what other people eat
You should try: Growing the hell up

If you don’t like onions you should try cooking them in butter on low heat for 30-45 minutes until they’re a deep amber and mixing them with sour cream, a bit of mayo, salt and pepper, and a pinch of cayenne pepper. Boom, caramelized onion dip.
No. Nope. Thank you.
Yeah. Raw onions are just about the only food ingredient I absolutely can’t stand to eat. But I love sauteed onions. I work at a fire house and do a lot of the cooking on shift. If anyone bitches about a lack of onions, I tell them I’ll add onions at the same time I add Habaneros. I love crazy hot stuff, but contrary to popular firefighter belief, most of the guys are huge weenies when it comes to spicy.
You probably know this since you work in a kitchen, but a buddy recently taught me that the trick for taking the edge off raw onion—e.g. to put on a salad or burger—is to soak the slices in cold water for a few minutes. Keeps the sweetness and flavor, but seriously reduces the sulfuric burn!
Oh my God way to make them 5x worse
Remember kids: all shaming of “picky” eating is just socially acceptable ableism, and you should be fucking ashamed of yourself.
A yes a truly mortal sin worthy of deep shame in all those who commit it.
Certainly a bigot is a far worse thing to be than a picky eater.
Not if you have to cook for both…
“you’d better learn to like eating food your body will treat like poison so I’m not mildly inconvenienced” is…well that’s certainly a take.
Why does everyone seem to have this insipid hate boner for people whose restricted diet is due to medical factors outside of their control but nobody gives people any shit for their 100% voluntarily restricted diets?
Where’s this kind of energy when people eat Kosher? Or Halal? Or Vegan? Nobody’s entire neurology is fighting against them breaking any of those food taboos, but they’re generally respected by the same Normies who push for torturing neurodivergent kids with inedible food “for their own good”.
No no, medical issues are fine, so are religious beliefs. Fussy eaters are immature dickheads.
Yeah, “medical issues are fine but fussy eaters are dickheads” = “I am the sole arbiter of whether your disability counts or not”. Because not every neurodivergent person is gonna give your their entire medical history to explain why your shit food isn’t going to work for them.
I swear every Neurotypical alive would eat feces directly from a toilet if someone somehow convinced them everyone else was doing it and it would be weird of them to refuse.
Cry more.
I love onions but OP needs to fuck right off with dictating how other folks should deal with food.
You should fuck right off for saying fuck right off.
How about I forcefeed you moldy spinach
(in lackey voice) Yeah, you tell em OP!
Tell that to my gut. You get onions in there, mushrooms, etc I’ll be absolutely crippled with cramps, gas, and worse.
I’m glad people love onions. I don’t even mind the taste. But you know what I like more? NOT being stuck in agony on the toilet for hours.
Have you tried growing the hell up?
/s
I know the cilantro example is famous, but as a super taster and having other people with the gene onions are very divisive. For me, anything more than a hint is overpoweringly disgusting and the idea of actually biting into one directly fills me with dread.
Onion powder and garlic powder are both very preferable to the actual substance taste wise.
If you know someone in your life that really likes diet soda and other artificially sweetened things and even prefers it to the regular, they just might be a super taster.
If you know someone that finds wine, beer, tea and coffee horrifically bitter to the point that they can’t even understand how you enjoy it. They may also be a super taster.
If you know someone that complains Seltzer’s like white claw and lacroix are absurdly bitter and completely disgusting. That is likely because they can taste a profile called bitter two, which is prevalent in these things because they are a super taster.
I know nobody will read this and learn to quit bitching at people about what they like, but I figured I’d at least try.
Now that I’m done being reasonable:
Why don’t you stop pussyfooting around with weak bitch shit like onions and actually use some real fucking spices from India and Mexico? Onions are for mayo loving losers afraid of burning their tender tongues, miss me with that shit.
What if I love plain sparkling water, black (loose) tea, dark chocolate, unsweetened espresso? Enjoy the taste of plain (real, not American) bread with olive oil or butter on its own? Hate food spicier than butter chicken?
Am I a super taster or the opposite? I joke that I have the palate of a medieval peasant, though I’m guessing they wouldn’t have enjoyed dark chocolate or undiluted coffee/tea.
Opposite of me in almost every way lol def not a super taster
Lol being a super taster would be hell for me if I already feel so sensitive to taste/scent.
Yeah I don’t love it sounds like a super power when all it does is make you not like popular stuff for the most part. There is however one upside which is when I eat something truly good my soul leaves my body and I fall through space and time. I call it a taste journey. Have to be vigilant to not get super fat haha.
I’m a super taster as well. Raw onion is a hard no for me, but caramelized onions are like a cheat code for making every meal delicious.
But you’ve got the artificial sweetener thing backwards. Super tasters tend to prefer real sugar and find the fake stuff cloying and unpleasant. I’d bite into an onion like it was an apple before I’d drink a diet soda.
Also, mayo is delicious.
Really every super taster i know drinks diet,soda like it’s going out of style. And cooking an onion works for people that are not super tasters but ones that are still usually overwhelmed from the small sample size I’ve met over the years.
Were you a smoker at any point perhaps?
No, I’ve never smoked. I looked it up, and it seems the trend is generally that super tasters prefer real sugar over fake. Obviously everyone is different though.
But I can detect the faintest bit of artificial sweetener. It’s very unpleasant.
if you are an extrenely picky eater, honestly your loss, thats probably difficult socially and a lot of banger foods youll miss.
making a big deal out of any adults personal preferences? total dick move. Why yuck on their yum, as they say. But ableist? In specific cases where its directly caused by a condition, sure, but lest be real for a sec, weve all encountered people that are picky because theyve never been exposed to new things. The ‘i dont like it’ before ever having tasted that dish, crowd.
and in that way, for example insisting on introducing new foods to children to broarden their pallette? Calling that ableist feels silly and unproductive in several ways.
my brain is crashing out a bit over all the blanket statements being thrown around here in the comments
I got over the premptive “I don’t like it” shit but I’m still a picky eater. I just straight do not like the taste or texture of a lot of things. My palette has expanded since I was a kid at least.
Raw onions on my hotdog 🌭🧅
Fructan sensitivity 🥲 I appreciate the flavor they add, buuut don’t appreciate how they digest in my body. I carry food enzymes with me when I’m out though- kind of hard to avoid when I’m not the one cooking. I do want to try adding them to my oil infusions sometime!
Yeah completely valid here. I got corn intolerance so samesies. I should see if they sell enzyme pills for that.
I’ve never heard of that. do you live in the US? I can’t imagine living here and not being able to eat corn derivatives
Not only do I live in the US but I also really like mexican food which manages to be even MORE corn-centric.
Pro tip: Turkish and Central-Asian food like shawarma is basically Mexican food but with wheat.
I’m genuinely curious, not being a jerk. I love Mexican food, I love Mexican American food, and I love Turkish food and all the central Asian food I’ve tried I enjoy.
But I can’t figure out what in the world you mean. Like which specific dishes are the same but with wheat?
Not entirely same, of course, but shawarma and burrito are imo similar templates that can be used with various fillings. You can have shawarma with beef or chicken, etc. You have some cheap local vegetables: where I am, it’s typical to see tomatoes, cucumbers, onions, maybe peppers, cabbage, or carrots. Of course, rice, guacamole and salsa are unlikely in a shawarma, but mayonnaise and sour cream can be used, the latter of which is afaiu encountered in burritos. And for myself, I’ve been making a fusion dish of shawarma with rice, chicken, and various local vegetables.
Likewise, foods using pita or leavened lavash, e.g. gyros, can be seen as templates similar to tacos.
Personally I’m surprised that lentils aren’t used more often in shawarma and similar foods, given Middle-Eastern liking for fava beans and chickpeas — although reportedly falafel can be found in shawarma in some regions. Then again, I’m pretty sure I’ve used sautéed peas or beans when making my mishmash burwarma.
Apparently the al pastor method of meat preparation is directly derived from doner kebab, having been brought to Mexico by Lebanese immigrants — although it uses pork instead of lamb or beef, since Christians didn’t have restrictions about it.
For sure al pastor is from the area. Miss me with that pineapple though! Thanks
Ehhh… They’re a take it or leave it kinda deal
