You're probably used to everyone giving you a hard time for being "too picky". But let's be honest, we like what we like and we stick to it! Every time I try and venture outside my comfort zone I end up regretting it and disliking my food choice. Whether it's the smell, texture, or tase...if something is off, I won't eat it. All pickers unite and stick to the safest option out there: chicken tenders and fries.
Here are 25 foods that you probably hate if you're a picky eater.
1. Mushrooms
Something about the rubbery texture PLUS the fact that it's a fungus? No thank you.
2. Pickles
I am not a fan of any vinegary foods, too sour.
4. Tomatoes
I'll take a BLT please, minus the T. Squishy, watery tomatoes ruin every dish in my opinion.
5. Spinach
Spinach tastes like a dirty leaf that someone plucked from the ground.
7. Coconut
The texture of coconut ruins any dessert, who wants a stringy piece of coconut stuck between their teeth?
9. Olives
Olives have a certain bitterness to them that I can't get past.
10. Avocados
Despite the craze for avocados, I find them to be too bland.
11. Cottage cheese
Spoiled, rotten milk? Doesn't sound too appealing to me.
12. Brussels sprouts
Again, unless these suckers are masked with tons of butter they are not tasty at all.
13. Celery
A stringy, watery vegetable with relatively no flavor. Why even bother?
14. Cream cheese
Cream cheese is too rich and slightly sour for my liking.
15. Anything spicy
How am I supposed to enjoy a dish if my mouth is burning the whole time?
16. Sushi
Certain sushi rolls are either too bland, too fishy, or too raw for my liking.
17. Blueberries
The skin on these berries turn me away, as well as the sour taste.
18. Toast that's too "toasty"
My toast goes in the toaster for a short amount of time to avoid the smell and taste of it being burnt.
19. Peas
The little mush balls smell and look almost as bad as they taste.
21. Grits
So mushy and flavorless, I don't know how people can enjoy them.
23. Refried beans
Again, just way too mushy and flavorless. The appearance alone makes me want to throw it straight in the trash.
24. Anything sour
My taste buds can't handle the bitterness and acidic flavors of anything sour.
25. Black licorice
Candy is supposed to be sweet, but black licorice just has a certain flavor that makes it unappealing.
