Yes, I do! My boyfriend is an incredibly picky eater and it's really hard to cook for him sometimes. Especially, since I love to eat a wide variety of food. He wants to eat healthier, but he refuses to eat any fruits and vegetables he's really picky about how they're cooked and won't eat them if they aren't saturated with butter.

Hi there Sarah Ruth Beth 22! I am not a picky eater but I hate garlic. I like garlic-flavored stuff but I can't have plain and raw garlic. I just don't like how it tastes. I like onions and onion rings though. And, I love potatoes, no matter how it's done. I do have a nephew who is a picky eater though and won't eat anything besides fried chicken, hotdog and longganisa.

chef''s nightmare, demanding, eater, eating, garlic Hi sarahruthbeth22, I'm quite picky as well when eating certain food. Potato is my favorite food as well. I love all dishes prepared from potato but I hate to taste potato that is not well cooked fully. The tiny granular-like potatoes in the dish would spoil my appetite. Potato curry is one of my favorite dishes to eat together with plain boiled rice I love dishes prepared from onion too except onion salad as I dislike the pungent smell of raw onion Happy posting

Yes, and I give him a kiss on the cheek and tell him that he needs to give whatever it is a chance. Sometimes I win; other times I don't. My boyfriend's mother never made him eat a wide enough array of foods. I, on the other hand, used to stare at recipes in women's magazines when I was a child and dream of the day when I could cook such dishes, since my mother has never been a very adventurous cook.

As a child I was way too busy playing tag with my friends to even Know what a recipe was. By the time I was a teen, I didn't have a desire to learn how to cook and my mom didn't have the desire to force me, Thank G-d!

No onions, and no onion rings either. Although I like the smell of onions when they are being sauteed on a hot pan, I don't like eating them. I don't mind the flavor getting into the mix, but not eating the onion itself. That goes the same for my burgers. Always the extra instruction for no slivered onions with my burger.

It used to be a hassle for me to order a burger out because I want it plain, no cheese , Nothing but the meat and the bread. Now my favorite burger joint their burgers Come Plain, if you want Anything else on them , you must ask for it! ok. Put onions in the sauce but drain them out before serving. Got it!

I think I'm getting older. It used to be just the onions that annoy me on my burgers. Now, I'm hating the pickles too!

I used to like both baked potatoes and mashed potatoes. I sort of like onion rings and I do like onion in some foods. But, I am a very picky eater. If something does not look good I will not eat it. Also if something does not smell good to me, I will not eat it. I am picky as well as moody when it comes to food. My girl always complains that I am a picky eater. But I can't help it, thats the way I am.

Here we go again, the parallels are adding up! My sister will try almost anything. She is older and my mom used to tell her she didn't prepare her for me! She went from having a baby that couldn't wait to eat to a baby that just wouldn't eat!

See, I knew I was not alone when it comes to food. I just can't help being that way. My brother on the other hand will try anything once. Now me. And I don't care what people think either.

Not really, but when it comes to onions, I don't like them raw. Prepared or cooked any other way, they are absolutely wonderful, but raw, they are too painful to eat. LOL

I think everybody will dislike eating a certain of food. Such as I don't like eating any food which is bitter. And I don't understand why people will like eating bitter things. And they even tell me that it is not bitter. I tried but I told them that there was something wrong with their tongues:) I love China

I wouldn't describe myself as a picky eater, but I feel like you about onion rings. I like onions in pretty much every other guise, but there's something about onion rings that's quite horrid.

Hi, sarahruthbeth22. I love onions and onion rings. I love mashed potatoes, but I don't really care for a baked potato. I don't care for peanut butter, but I love peanut butter cookies. I don't really like coconut, but yet, I like coconut cookies. So, I know how you are feeling, to like this and dislike that.

I grew up eating so many potoates, I am so sick of them! I will only eat mashed potatoes if they are made from instant. That is the only type of potaoes I will eat. Oninons I like like onion rings and cooked onions over raw. I can't stand peppers but I will eat a red pepper sauce we make at work! I hate canned corn and cream corn. I will only eat corn on the cob and frozen corn. I won't eat a banana when it starts to get spots. I will only eat tomaotes on burgers and some sandwhiches. I can't stand tomato juice and ketchup. I will only drink OJ in the cartons and it has to be pulp free! Apples have to be red delicous. I will them plain but lately I eat them with peanut butter! I will eat cooked cabbage but not raw. Same with carrots. As you can see I am fairly picking!

Fantastic! I will never get tired of French Fries! I don't like the texture of mash potatoes.I don't eat raw onions nor onion rings. I only eat green peppers on a pizza! Frozen corn is far better than that stuff in a can. You shock me. I love , love ketchup! But raw tomatoes no! I'm like you if there is pulp in my OF , I don;t drink it! I can't eat raw apples , they make my tongue itch. But even the thought of peanut butter on a apple sickens meSo you see , we are allies.

Tastes differ.I take that for granted.however I am not particular about my food.We usually use potatoes cut into slivers for stir-frying shredded pork.Onion slice is used for stir-frying Black fungus which has an effect on protecting our heart.

Yeah, I see you're very demanding with food. You're the chef's nightmare. What have to consider someone who wants to invite you dinner?
