My Family Has Mostly Given Up On Forcing Me To Eat Things - Tumblr Posts

people are absolutely EVIL about the boundaries of “picky eaters”. no, they do not have to try it. yes, they can know they don’t like it without having eaten it before. no, they probably have not suddenly grown a taste for the food they’ve said they hate. no, they probably are not going to like it in the Special Way This One Place Cooks It. yes, you are being a bad friend if you try to “trick” them into eating it anyway

yes
i have a texture problem with onions but nothing against the taste
when i make things
i use onion powder instead
but i cant tell you how many times ive had to sit through a meal gritting my teeth as i chew on a large chunk of onion
its like nails on chalkboard but for your teeth
i also dont eat sweet potato or bell peppers because they make my stomach iffy
i think the fact that i have kept this “charade” up all throughout my childhood helps
my family has mostly given up on forcing me to eat things
food is supposed to be enjoyed
and nobody should have to force themself to get through it
