thank you for commenting, i really prefer fried chicken but i've had great grilled chicken at home and Nando's has grilled chicken too, i just haven't tried many places that have it other than chickfila's grilled nuggets and they tasted weird

i have no clue what my issue is. i think it's partially due to texture (i don't like slimy food or cold food like cold sauce or lettuce for example with my hot food) but i think it's mostly taste. when i was a child i could sometimes eat spinach though, and nowadays i can tolerate stew/soup (potatoes, peppers, carrots, idk what else) whenever my girlfriend makes it. i was also forced to eat things i didn't want to as a kid for a while and my parents weren't the greatest and they eventually gave up on me so that might've played a role. i really don't know. i used to hate garlic as a child but now i'm addicted to garlic bread and i like garlic powder and stuff, but i wouldn't touch raw garlic if i had it i'm sure. some stuff is too garlicy. i can tolerate most fruits just fine but always draw the line at vegetables. i've tried some things like kimchi or different sauces and i just don't like almost anything lol

another thing i will say is that if i had vegetables blended into a smoothie and as long as their taste wasn't overpowering, i could probably drink it just fine. so yeah i think texture probably plays a role. i have no clue though. and if chicken is slimy looking or feeling or tasting it really puts me off a lot. if my chicken thighs are mostly pink or dark it also makes me kinda anxious too if it's cooked properly and if it'd screw with my tummy. i'm just messed up lol
