The one nightmare that a foodie is scared to endure is his/her friend being the exact opposite of them- a picky eater. We all know at least one person who makes a face looking at food, and there seems to be absolutely no food in this world that makes them happy. Being a foodie myself, I have close friends whose limited eating habits annoy me to no end. Sigh.
Here are the traits of a fussy eater.
1. There is very little food in the world that makes you happy
You always have a ‘no’ ready when anyone offers you something new to try.
2. When people say they want to take you out to a new restaurant, you die a little inside
What if I don’t like anything on their menu? 🙁
3. When anyone asks you where you’d like to go eat, you always go to a restaurant you’ve been to before
Because it’s tried and tested.
4. And you order the same dish every single time
It’s your go-to dish; the only thing you trust.
5. There are several food items in your list that you absolutely hate
Onions? Yuck. Cheese? Yuck. Ketchup? EW!
6. You’re often known to send back food in a restaurant because it always lacks something
“I asked for roasted tomatoes, and you gave me boiled ones.”
7. When you like a particular dish, you don’t mind eating it over and over again
Mutton chops? Anytime, anywhere.
8. And sometimes, your favourite dishes aren’t always liked by people around you
9. Because of your love for specific kinds of food, you are critical of other people’s way of cooking
“Nope. Nothing like what Ma makes.”
10. Your friends often call you ‘spoilt’ or ‘childish’ because of the way you behave with food
Sigh, if only they understood. 🙁
11. But, you try to make efforts to eat things that are beyond your comfort zone
12. And even though you know you’re picky, you know you’ll do just fine
And probably make people love your favourite food as much as you do. 😀
