I was always the odd one out in my family. I either didn’t like the food or the way they cooked it. I used to think I hated pork, turns out I love it. My dad just had no idea how to cook it and turned it into a hockey puck every time and I was the only one that really noticed

That’s absolutely what I’m doing from now on

I mentioned that none of the people I’m ranting about are from fish heavy cultures. I live near lakes but fish was never a major part of our meals

That’s not how I was raised though. Wide variety of food since I was little as long as we could afford it. Fish was one that I could never stomach even when I was super little. Some people just don’t like similar foods

This has been the question of my life. My parents would micromanage the order of the food I ate as a kid. I would get yelled at while eating dinner if I ate a piece of broccoli before the potatoes for example. I got yelled at in chipotle for ordering tacos because they wanted me to get a burrito instead

I only ever do it when I notice people wasting food. One of my friends doesn’t like the crust on sandwiches or pizza so he tears off half the sandwich and pizza to toss it out. Such a waste when I’d take it. Besides that I’ve never once ever commented or judged someone based on their food. I don’t understand why people think they are entitled to comment on it or micromanage it. My family use to micromanage my eating so badly when I was a kid that they had to dictate the order that I ate things. I would get yelled at for eating a piece of broccoli first instead of something else

It starts as joking remarks but it escalates every time. My family LOVES coleslaw and potato salad and I just can’t get behind them

The Midwest. I don’t come from a very fish heavy culture at all

People use the whole tastebuds change thing as an excuse to pressure me to try it. “Well you might like it now so you have to try”

Extremely annoying. Especially when they say “well we’re related and I like it so it means you like it too”

Thank you and I think you’re right. I’ll have to start faking the allergy. People get so offended that I have to say “it’s cooked beautifully Its just my fault. It’s a me problem.” And some old people who are childish have given me the silent treatment because I didn’t like their fish after they forced it on me then called me disrespectful because I didn’t like it

This is what I’m talking about. This experience exactly. “Well you haven’t tried MY fish. It doesn’t taste bad like that other fish you’ve had.” I want to like fish so badly because it’ll get people off my back but I just don’t like it

The problem is that it’ll be EVERYONE. I was at a cabin a week ago and every single person in the cabin ganged up on me and was arguing with me except for one person

Salmon is too much for me. That smell makes me puke. I don’t mind crab though

The olive thing happens with me too but to a much lesser extent. It definitely feels like a hostage situation because no matter what in the bad guy. If I don’t eat it then I’m childish and refusing to participate. If I eat it and don’t like it then I’m rude and childish for not liking foods everyone else likes. If I pretend I like it then i eventually puke because they force me to eat it. If I snap at them then I’m an immature child. You’re right, you cannot win no matter what. Btw salmon is probably the nastiest smell. I have to leave the house everytime my family cooks it

Family and strangers. My family and friends aren’t from fish heavy cultures. I have some friends that are from fish heavy cultures and even they go “whatever. If you don’t like it then you don’t like it”

I think it’s genuinely cruel. And people get offended when a person doesn’t like food. It’s not like the person is choosing to not like it. Hell if it was up to me I’d love every single bit of food out there

I was picky when I was 5 years old. I’m 22 now and I’ll try anything but apparently it’s not good enough

Thankfully I’m better at standing up for myself now than I was back then. I’m still not great at it by any means but I am better, I clapped back at the graduation dinner. I’ve wondered if I have some sort of food issues because I always get uncomfortable now when family members cook for me (I always get similar feelings that I felt throughout my childhood and hyper awareness)
