In my opinion, punishing kids for picky eating is more likely to result in some kind of food behavioral problems later in life than letting them assert some tiny amount of personal agency with regard to the pile of greyish muck on their plate. I mean yeah, if they're over two and refuse to eat anything besides chicken fingers and potato chips you need to find some way to incentivise a broader diet, but taking a disciplinary approach isn't likely to have positive effects long-term.

I love onions so loving much that if it was socially acceptable I'd eat them like apples. Onions make the world go round.

Also, any trace of pink in meat meant it was raw and had to be cooked for at least another 20 minutes. I guess it wasn't an issue because every meal tasted the same.

My kid never had a chance to become a picky eater because I wouldn't let him, just as my parents did to myself and my siblings, and my grandparents before them. In many ways, this is born from the history of immigrant families, marginalized people, and the idea that you should be thankful for any food at all, let alone good food. I was lucky though, as was my family down through the ages, that the food we've had no choice to eat growing up was really good. It's turned out well because now my boy bugs me when we're getting low on kimchee and is always trying to get us to go to his favourite Basque joint in Carson City because they have his favourite blood sausage.

You can do this but it makes people think you're an alcoholic.

The bf takes his kid to the market and lets him pick his food, then they cook together. He's not a picky eater. That said, he dislikes pancakes, so maybe he's just weird. my mom wasn't a bad cook, but she nearly had a heartattack every time I entered the kitchen, and I'm suspecting that that made me a picky eater until about ten years ago.

I saw a map of the world infographic of picky eating/selective eating disorder density vs country and it was the best thing ever. I think it was in here but I can't find it. Basically only america and western europe has this problem. Anyone know where that graphic is?

All this talk about onions, and nothing about OMG MY EYES ARE BURNING? I've tried all the tricks, they don't work... I like onions as long as they're cooked, and cook with them occasionally when I feel they're really vital to the dish, but I don't throw them in everything because of the burning, and the stinging, and the crying.

The fewer cell walls you break the better. Also being faster helps, too. I only start crying after mincing 5 or more onions now, which means if I'm just casual weeknight cooking I never cry anymore.

After a while, I said, "gently caress it," and ate the seeds.  I just don't think it's worth the hassle, and watermelon is cheaper.

Prickly pears are best when you juice them and turn them into syrup, jam, jelly, aguas frescas, or anything else to do with the juice. They have a nice tart character that goes really well with pineapple.

It's weird, I used to cry a lot when cutting onions, but I've gone through like a year period where I didn't cry from onions. The last few I've chopped up have really teared me up though. It must have been that old house or the onions I was buying, I wish I knew so I could spread the word of cryless onions. I find it kind of like the burn from peppers, it sure hurts but afterwards it's a bit cathartic.

Other than having a nice sharp blade to slice your onions with, there's another very simple solution: vinegar. Take some vinegar (I like apple cider because it smells nicer than white), get a bit of paper towel nice and wet, and wipe down your cutting board and your knife. Wipe down your blade every few cuts. Might not be worth it if your'e just doing one, but if you're mandolining 8 pounds of onions for a huge dutch oven of french onion soup like I do, vinegar is essential so you don't make your 600 sq ft apartment unlivable for the next hour or more.

That's the worst part of fresh out the ground onions for me. They're so delicious and yet so hard to handle without tearing up. It's only gotten worse over the years as I've become better at cutting onions.

Also, using copious amounts of fresh garlic with the core removed doesn't leave you with a rank garlic breath, rather a garlic breath that proves you are a lover of all things good in life. I rejoice at the smell of garlic breath, because it means that people choose to enjoy life. Now I want garlic.

This happened to me too, always had burning eyes, but not since about 6-8 years now. I'm guessing it has to do with the fact that the onions I buy are older then the ones I used to get (actually, they suck)
