Are you picky of what you eat?

A friend of mine, who also is my co - worker, from my observation, he is picky about what he eat everyday. I guess that his mom must be scratching her head to cater what he wants to satisfied his appetite. He won't eat burned pork, even a little bit that is burn. He won't eat cabbage or broccoli. He loves noodle type of meal. Whenever his mom make him a noodle meal, he would gobble the whole thing. Sometimes, he doesn't like a particular lunch, he only took 2 bites, then he would toss away in the trash can. What a waste isn't it? I didn't give him much condemn about what he did, but I knew that his mom must take a while to make the meal for him though. Are you such a picky person on eating?

I think perhaps we all have our favourite foods, but I wouldn't say I am very, very picky. Also I dislike wasting food, so if I buy something, I'll try and eat it, even if I don't like it too much. Very rarely do I give up on a food, although I can recall this happening in the past. But no, I don't think I'm picky. When I'm invited to eat by people, I tend to eat whatever is put in front of me.

To begin with, I am a very picky eater. I eat basically what I like. If something does not look good to me or smell good to me, I will not eat it. I am not the kind of person that will try something just for the sake of trying it. I am also Diabetic and cannot eat lots of things to begin with. I have to watch what I eat. But that does not mean I am still not picky.

Eating - Eating delightfully
I am not picky but rather careful about what I eat. I don't eat food that I believe will not be good for my health. Pork I don't eat, all processed meat I also don't. I don't eat too much red meat. I prefer vegetables and white meats only. I also love fruits. So if you will invite me for dinner and you will serve me pork, certainly I will just drink water and will not touch your food.

I am not a picky eater. I usually eat what is available in the kitchen as long as it is edible. But I've known of someone who is a very picky eater. she won't eat the fat portion of the pork, and yes she would eliminate the burnt portion of food be it bread, pork or chicken barbecue. She would also eliminate chicken skin and would not eat it. She is eating less if the viand is more on vegetable. She will only eat carrots and potatoes. Yeah looking at her plate after eating seems that she had not eaten yet.

your friend is a wasteful person. i think he has not tried or felt how it is to be with no food and no money to buy a nice food that we only have to eat what is given or served and then no choice. i eat almost anything that my mother serves me and i am thankful that we are still able to buy food.

What a waste this co-worker of yours. He should think well before toss away his food. I think his parents is too pampering him when he was young. Money is hard to find, so as the food. Because every piece of food is using money to buy. As for myself, i am not a picky eater since i loves to eat variety of food as long not those very sticky smell food.

As a child i was a very picky eater. Now as an adult I don't think that i am as picky about what i eat anymore. I will only be picky now if it is a food that i know i don't like and probably won't eat.

It can't be more common . One of my classmates in college makes a fuss for trivial things too . This guy is from TianJin ,a big metroplis in China . To my mind , he is picky too . For example , when we had our dinner in the cateen ,as you know ,the food in cateen is not very sanitary ,but he asked the food seller to remake him a plate of noodles for that the first one was not delicious . Even though the food seller was reluctant ,he did remake it . I think the first plate of noodles is totally and my classmate is spoiled in his family . You can never miss that kind of people ,can you ?

I am not a picky eater especially the home cooked foods. Not like my younger sister who doesn't like vegetables and fish cooked differently. She likes fried meat so much and would but her own food outside. I also don't to give my mother a problem or my host on how to satisfy me. I like almost all foods anyway.

I'm not picky person but my friends and family know what I like to eat and what I really hate and there is no way that I will eat it. For example I don't like beef meat at all, pork liver, apricots, curry and Indian dishes. So they know that if I come to their house I will not eat that stuff.

I remember my officemate. everyday she would order hotdog and siomai. That happens everyday, She don't eat vegetables and fish, Really picky. She would always have a pack of junk foods. I think, she must be brat in her younger years. As for me, I cant say that Im picky. I eat whatever kind of foods but they must be cooked well. If it doesnt taste good, Sure thing..that will be thrown in the garbage.

I guess you could say I am kind of a picky eater. Not really bad though. I do eat a variety of foods but there are several I do not like or want to eat also.

Yes very picky actually.If I don't like how it smells or look i won't eat it.I only eat food that i've eaten before.I'm not really the type of person to try new things.
