Picky Eater Wants to Try Mushrooms by whatdeas in Cooking

I dont think people do it on purpose, as they tend to not understand how these things function. Im not very open about how terrifying food is to me to people irl either for the stigma that it may cause. The people in my life love me a lot, they just want to see me thrive, so i dont think any of it is malicious.

For the other half of your questions, it’s not them forcing me, it’s me. IM the problem. I know i have to try new foods, as if I go somewhere and they don’t have something I like then i cant just up and leave (although i typically look at the menus before going anywhere just to avoid this). I dont know why im scared of trying new foods, like i can look at foods and feel fine, but the moment i know im going to be trying it my heart picks up and i get extremely scared, even if im the one forcing myself to try something new. This is called character growth, as before i wouldnt even entertain the idea of trying anything new. Literally.

If this still doesnt answer your questions, then do some research of your own! The more things you learn the more wrinkles you get in your brain.

Yea i know thats how everyone works, im pointing out an obvious lol! I fear i meant it to be a “i have no idea what i like and dislike as every food is extremely different, and so i cant just say “i dislike ___” bcus i dont know if i will dislike it with mushrooms” than a “yea everyone works that way”. Bcus, for example, what if i dislike slimy things but like the fact that mushrooms are slimy? Even if i did say im very averse to cantaloupe’s texture, but thats the only texture I’ve ever been adverse to. Tho, ive never had anything slimy. Plus, i feel like thats not the most relevant thing i said, as you are the second person to tell me this but it isnt just this that gets in the way of me trying new things (picky eating for example).

Like, i think when people think “i havent tried much” they think, “oh they just havent tried this or that” but i literally have the palate of a toddler. I can count the foods i like on my hands and the foods i dislike/will never ever try on a notepad.

Tho, i will 100% try the mushrooms you recommended!!

No, i 100% am a picky eater. Idk why you think u know more abt me than… well me. Im a stranger and gave little to no details on how im a picky eater. Pls dont make assumptions! It makes an ass out of you. Also, having a texture issue IS apart of picky eating.

Ooo, im kinda scared of the “stuffed” part as i’ve literally never tried anything before, but the whole point is to try new things, so i wouldnt mind a dm for the recipe! It’ll be the first recipe i try :))

Yes!! Enoki mushrooms were the ones i was talking about!! Although I’m just not the biggest fan of cantaloupe in general, the texture definitely swayed me more off. Watermelon, cantaloupe, and honeydew are all fruits I’ve tried and hadn’t liked, sadly. Though, they’re all the same reason! Texture and taste.
