I'd be really tempted to carry some condiment packets to empty straight into my mouth anytime he started. Maintained eye contact preferred. Content: My maternal grandfather was an incredibly abusive POS narcissist. No foods he didn't personally like were not allowed in the house. I was maybe 3 or 4 the last holiday I saw him, but I remember it because we were all terrified. In preparing Thanksgiving dinner for 4 families, his wife had mistakenly made mashed potatoes and he raged. She was an incredibly abusive POS too, but I'm surprised she didn't murder him at some point. Everyone would've been better off.

i used to have a friend who wasn't weird about eating food but was weird about splitting bills when going out for food. he would keep his own mental calculations in his head of how much people were each eating and how much he thought he owed at the end and it never lined up with what was actually consumed. He would always want to order family style then eat his share and then haggle with us at the end saying friend 1 had an extra bite of this and friend 2 took two of the other thing and since we all looked at his food we should chip in for what he ordered, then only put in like $2 for a $75 meal or whatever. Going out to eat with him was a whole ordeal Dude wasnt poor or anything either, his family had some money, so idk what his deal was. needless to say this was just one aspect of him that was lovely to be around and we're not friends anymore

Because we do both for Thanksgiving. Content: I made entirely way too many Brussels sprouts and ate them for three days straight. All because I didn’t want to make just some and have the rest go bad. A little olive oil, salt and pepper in the oven till blackened… *chef’s kiss* Eating Brussels sprouts for three days straight did not faze me. They were that good.

On the topic of food aversions and people who don't give a poo poo: my own aversion is nuts and seeds. I can tolerate peanuts, but they still make food taste worse to me, while walnuts, almonds, pistachios, etc just make the food inedible. Not sure why I'm like this, but that poo poo just turns my stomach the moment I bite in and feel that weird semi-soft crunch. When I'm at a restaurant I always make sure to tell the waiter "No nuts in the food please!" whenever I'm ordering something that even has the remote possibility of containing nuts, like a salad (a lot of times nuts are just kinda treated as a default and go unlisted as an ingredient). They always happily agree, but I poo poo you not when the food comes out the nuts are still in there about 50% of the time. This is quite disturbing to me, because while I myself am not allergic, many people are deathly allergic to nuts. Thankfully it's merely a frustration for me. If I were actually allergic I'd probably be dead by now. What the gently caress, people. Bonus mommy issues: Also, while I've had this aversion all my life, my mom can't seem to ever remember. When I go over to visit for dinner, she typically makes a salad and it almost always contains nuts. Now, it would be one thing if her stance on this was that if I don't like her salad the way she makes it, I can just pass on it. That'd be perfectly fine with me; wouldn't have any problem just skipping this salad while everyone else enjoys. Which is what I effectively end up doing, but the weird part is her response. Every time, without fail, she responds with "Oh! I'm sorry honey, I forgot about the nut thing! It's not that bad though, you can still eat it right?" Can't tell if she's messing with me or just doesn't care. I should make some instant ramen for her without smashing it into crumbs first.

I feel like you are either loving with us, or there is something that isn't a nut which you've somehow confused with nuts. I dunno, bean shoots or bacon bits or some poo poo. Because one, where the heck are you eating that 50% of salads have surprise nuts on them? That isn't a thing. Sure a particular salad might have nuts but it will be clearly labelled. Second, they aren't fond of killing customers right at the table and that's not a thing that they gently caress up with any frequency. But if you are telling the truth, please send that poo poo back. Tell your server "I asked for no nuts, I can't eat nuts." You're not lying by claiming a fake allergy, and a restaurant that fucks that up deserves to have food sent back. They can trash it and try again until they get it right. (also because it would be really really funny if a waitress said "sir this is a crouton")

I would say the most common offender is pine nuts. Not sure how salads are where you live, but places here in socal loving LOVE to put pine nuts on drat near everything. The 50% figure, to be clear, isn't the percentage of salads that have nuts in them; it's my success rate with eliminating nuts from a dish that would otherwise contain them. And yes, it's mind blowing to me that restaurants aren't terrified of triggering people's allergies like this. I don't know what to tell you, man. I can't fully explain how they get along like this, but that's my experience. Also to clarify, the salads that contain unmentioned nuts are definitely in the minority. Most of the time the salad says that it contains some kind of nut, so I simply ask the waiter to leave that out. Then they don't. I'll return it sometimes but the general nature of salads makes any particular ingredient easy to avoid. As for not being able to recognize a nut, believe me, having dealt with such a strong aversion all my life I am an expert nut identifier. Also, I don't go to restaurants alone. If I started complaining about nuts when there aren't any my friends would tell me I'm tripping. Devils Affricate fucked around with this message at 04:47 on Sep 9, 2021 |

Umm, if you don't want pine nuts either, you need to specify that seperately. They are a seed and that is how a lot of people view it. It's not on the servers radar to not include them since typically the concern is with allergies to nuts. Yes, peanuts aren't a nut either, but they have been on the allergy radar for so long, it is accepted as a nut in our collective consciousness. Edit: you could change your order to "no nuts and no seeds" and that should fix your issue. Granted, you also won't get like sesame, sunflower seeds or things like that, but it is an easy and concise order for a server that as a previous poster said, if they can't do that, send it back.

Mrs. WITCHCRAFT will eat leftovers of any meal regardless of quality but ONLY ONCE! EATING MORE THAN TWO OF THE SAME MEAL IN ONE WEEK? THAT IS TREASON, JOHNNY It makes it real difficult, estimating the recipe size. There must be enough for leftovers, but there must not be any leftovers left after you eat the leftovers. This would make me really mad and upset. But then I remember that this our biggest relationship issue. We agree on basically everything else. When I read someone's social media comment about [THING SPOUSE DO, MAKE ME ANGERY] it makes my complaints seem comical. I can live with this. I'll still dangle the sandwich baggie of un-used spoiled kelp noodles in her face like I'm the Ghost of Meals Past when I have to put it into the trashcan though.

I think he was expecting quartered boiled potatoes, butter and parsley. Adding milk was a step too far. There were several dishes he did this with, but the mashed potatoes is the only one I remember because I have a personal memory of it. My folks mercifully cut contact with them when I was around 5. As for leftover chat, that might honestly be a deal breaker for me. I get weirdly upset about wasted food for someone who's never gone hungry. Less angry, more "I feel like a monster." I have strong opinions on our failures of food distribution, so it probably ties to that.

Much like with carbon emissions the problem isn't at a personal level but at a structural and industrial level. You don't need to feel bad for throwing away a week old enchilada you didn't finish, it's grocery stores throwing away millions of tons of still edible food into dumpsters that's the real problem. Doubly so when they do things like pour bleach on it to stop the homeless from getting to it.

Before the pandemic hit, I was a dumb worthless goon who fancied Chinese buffets and whatnot. The amount of food people would leave on their plates when they leave was just utterly disgusting and would always fill me with hopelessness at just how wasteful with food people are who have never gone hungry before. It was almost always families with children who would load up a sampler plate with a bunch of different items, and of course the kids wouldn’t eat a thing because they wanted dessert from the start, so the plates would be left untouched It got so bad that a lot of places started charging extra if you leave a lot of food on your plate before leaving, and I don’t blames the restaurants for doing that. gently caress those lovely people. I’m still a dumb worthless goon, but I’ve always known how to eat within my body’s means.

This is an arbitrary undefinable category of foods you are making yourself sick over for... no reason whatsoever. Just chew it? I don't understand these "food aversion" claims as a concept. You wouldn't have this "reaction" if you didn't know pieces of the undefined no-no category were present. It's really not possible for you to consume these things?

I was on a volunteer thing a few years back where me and another guy lived with a Honduran family. They were amazing, hospitable people who made incredible food. However, in the first week the other guy had a mild stomach upset after eating some local food and from that point on claimed all Honduran food made him sick. Absolutely ridiculous and made things quite awkward at times. Especially as they spoke no English and he spoke no Spanish so here’s me trying to apologetically explain why this dickhead is refusing all their home cooking and only eats fried chicken. They became increasingly doubtful and eventually I just said I basically agree with them and dunno what to do about it lol He was loving useless and didn’t seem to enjoy it, I’ve no idea why he didn’t just leave.

temple posted:Buffets are wasteful. Yes they are which is why I haven’t visited one in a couple of years. The pandemic taught a lot of people that there are better, less wasteful, and healthier options available, myself included. I’d see the same thing with eating out in general. Breakfast cafes are the worst. People usually order the largest meal on the menu, then leave a good chunk of food on the plate. It’s almost always Boomers who go to the cafe not to eat, but to converse with other Boomers about their impending mortality in a restaurant setting. If y’all want to get together and relive 1971, that’s fine and dandy, but pick a coffee shop or a nice park or something instead of ordering food and not eating it

When raw, slices of green pepper are good with hummus. re: nuts, I love mixed nuts or peanuts or what have you, and really love cashews in stir fries, peanuts in Thai dishes, etc but am not a fan of them in baked things like a muffin or cookie. I'll still EAT it, I just wish they weren't there most of the time. They just seem to take up space and screw up things textually in that context.

Of course I wouldn't have the same reaction if I couldn't tell it was there. It's the food's interaction with my senses that makes me sick. This seems like a pretty obvious thing. If someone puts almond butter in something and it doesn't remind me anything of almonds, I don't give a poo poo.
