You could argue picky eating is the anime watching of food habits though.

Question about picky eaters though, esp. since American cuisine came up: For those of you well traveled, is this primarily an American phenomenon? Obviously I doubt you'd see picky eaters in regions with scarcity but in place where that's not as great a concern do you see fairly consistent rates of people who abhor anything that doesn't come out of a Kraft box or is it really just a case of American Exceptionalism?

I'm not especially well traveled but I know it's also a thing in the UK and Australia, just for (slightly) different foods. So maybe it's more of a "white people suck at food" thing?

I like how he says he coined the nickname and explains what it means as if it's not a common insult.

There's a joke here about the word "therapist" that I wish I didn't see.

I recall someone mentioning that the Mexican equivalent was (Spanish word for shrimp), because you suck everything but the head, so there's probably cultural variants of the same super insulting thing

The last year with my boyfriend has been kind of hard. This year he told me that what really turns him on is anal. We had done it once when I was black out drunk, and I hurt for a week after but apparently it was his new thing. I really wanted to be supportive so I bought butt plugs and told him I'd try it out. At first it wasn't so bad, if I said I didn't want to try them I wouldn't. As time went on he started making me feel bad about not trying them, so I started to do it more hoping that I'd find some pleasure in it. I don't. It's been almost a full year now and it hurts just as much as it did in the beginning. The worst part is that he's not even turned on if I don't let him put things in my rear end anymore, and I'm so turned off when he does. When it happens I'm in pain, we'll use lube we'll be careful, but it still hurts. Eventually I've realized that if I put it in myself it isn't as bad, but he wants to put it in, and it sucks. Sex has been ending with him upset at me for saying no and me asserting myself saying he doesn't get to be mad about such a thing. It's really ruining our relationship.

The other night I went out with our friends with it in, I could barely walk and wanted to cry the whole time. When I told him this he said it'd get better. It doesn't though. When I tell him that he says that I'm just not trying. I often bring up that if he was in pain from something I wanted him to do I'd tell him to stop, but he says that it's something that means so much to him. I'm a pushover and I give in. The worst part is how turned off I am by it I'm a nanny and change diapers for basically a living, I can't even think anything but what comes out. The other day he tried to give me a rim job and all I could think of is wiping with a wipe after changing a diaper. I really can't do it, but he sees that as me not caring.

Other than this, he's perfect. My soulmate. We're living together again next year and I don't know how to say that I can't do this anymore. It's going to ruin our relationship soon I think. I also am just so turned off that every sex has to do with my rear end that I don't even want it anymore. I sometimes dread it because I know he'll insist on putting something in there.

tl;dr: My boyfriend wont stop pushing me to put things in my rear end because it turns him on. I couldn't be more turned off by it.

My [23 F] best friend and roommate [23 F] got angry and hit me because I wouldn't chop her an onion.

u/throwawayonionswtf1y

This is probably the silliest thing I've ever posted on reddit about. It's embarrassing, hence the throwaway. I would also like to state that Jessica has never really acted like this before and that I am not the type to let someone walk all over me. I try to be polite and understanding, but I do not let people abuse my kindness.

My best friend Jessica and I have known each other since middle school. We both went to the same university and got an apartment together after graduating. This is our first time living together because we used to have single dorm rooms and never had to worry about it before.

I am a picky eater, but I do not think I am too bad about it. I don't like large pieces of onions or other pungent foods such as shallots. They hurt my eyes and the taste is just way too overwhelming if I bite into them. If I am cooking for someone else and the recipe calls for onions, I will either use tiny pieces or onion powder. If someone else cooks for me, I just eat around the onions. I'm picky, but it's not like I will straight up refuse to eat a dish just because it has onions in it.

Jessica is a picky eater in her own way, but she is a fan of onions and she likes them enough that she can eat them raw on a salad. She also likes them on her tacos and on burgers. What she doesn't like is tomatoes and she will refuse to eat pizza if it has sauce on it.

Last night, I decided that I was going to make some tacos. I made the taco meat, heated the tortillas, and I had chopped some lettuce and tomatoes and put them in bowls for toppings. I also had cheese and sour cream in little bowls so the whole idea was a 'make your own' taco dish. Knowing that Jessica likes onions, I went ahead and bought her one and left it on the counter. I wasn't going to chop the onion because they usually make my eyes hurt so bad that I feel it for hours afterward (and yes, I know the bowl of water trick and the chewing gum trick, I'm just super sensitive to onions) and I also wasn't sure if Jessica even wanted the onion on her tacos.

After the food was cooked, I texted Jessica to come down and check it out. She came downstairs and got very upset with me when she saw there wasn't an onion. I handed her the onion in the bag and said, "I know you like them, so I bought one for you. If you go ahead and chop it, I'll get a bowl down for you." Jessica just stared at me and snatched the bag from my hand and started bitching (and I mean bitching, because she was very passive aggressive and was muttering under her breath at me) about having to do all the work. I was a bit flabbergasted and didn't know how to respond, so I just said, "Well, okay then...." and went back to cleaning up the kitchen.

Jessica kept bitching at me and was asking me why I couldn't just chop the onion myself since I had already done everything else. I started getting annoyed and responded that they make my eyes hurt, but "If you really want the drat onion chopped to just hand it to me and I'll do it for you." Jessica then proceeded to take the onion in the bag and basically used the bag to swing the onion in a circle and hit me with the onion. She did it with enough force that it felt like a softball hitting me in the back and I can feel a mild bruise (but it isn't visible).

Besides feeling like, "What the gently caress just happened?", I got angry at Jessica and left the house and got Taco Bell instead. I spent the night at my guy friend's house and then came back this morning and Jessica pretended like nothing happened, then she left for gym class all happy. When I went into my bedroom to lie down, I found the onion cut in half and under my pillow.

Reddit, I feel like I am in some sort of comedy right now, except it isn't very funny and now my bedsheets smell like onions. How the hell do I handle this without coming off like a petty teenager?

tl;dr: Best friend and I moved in together. I don't like to eat onions because they hurt my eyes, best friend loves onions. I made tacos and bought her an onion for the topping, but didn't chop it. Best friend gets pissed off at me for not chopping the onion and throws the onion at me. I leave and spend the night at a guy's house, come back home and the onion is cut in half and underneath my pillow. My bed smells like onions now and I don't know how to handle this.

The cousin I mentioned is not American. He eat things like pasta and wieners, anything with more flavour than seems to make him ill.
But it's gotten a little better lately. He's 14.

You're probably right though that in places where food isn't abundant enough to waste it's unlikely that anyone goes urgh veggies.

Oh a lot of that is probably just that he's a lil kid still. It's not that weird then.

Yeah in Bulgaria there isn't a whole lot of picky eating going on haha. Although I will say that the mayor of a city there (a larger one) was/is a family friend and man his wife refuses to drink Coca-Cola and only wants Pepsi. Like if they say 'we have no Pepsi, is Coke okay?' she is someone that actually says 'no, I'll just have water then.'

Check the China thread, it's full of stories about Chinese tourists traveling through Europe with a steamer trunk of instant noodles, rather than chance the questionable cuisine of France and Italy.

That's not truly analogous though because at least they probably still eat more than one type of Chinese food.
