I used to be like that as a kid but at some point I just stopped caring and I think it might have been because my parents always forced me to eat regardless. If I vomited they would just serve me another plate. I have many torturous memories from the dinner table.
Nowadays I still don't like the same foods I didn't like as a kid, but I'll eat them without a problem if I'm at a friends house or a restaurant and it's what everybody else is having. I won't buy them for myself though.
Some other things I didn't like but was forced to eat, I actually developed a pretty bad intolerance for such as shellfish or milk. I wonder if I was always intolerant and it was just how my body reacted back then. I definitely feel that they've got a lot worse with time.

Fussy eaters.
That is to say me. I really, REALLY hate that I don’t like so many things. It was a source of mucho anxiety when I was young and all through my adult life every time I’m asked for a meal.
But what really grates is that when you are asked it never, ever occurs to that person that I might find it awkward or stressful or be totally fed up with having to list a whole larder full of dislikes. No, it’s just me being bloody minded and disrespectful of their hospitality.
It would be heaven if I could just say “anything you like” or walk into a restaurant, shut my eyes and just point to something, just anything, on the menu.
