Potatoes are a starch. Potatoes do not count as veggies. That’s like saying ketchup is a veggie.

To be fair, I do this with peppers. I cannot stand peppers. But I tried them—repeatedly—before I determined this to be true. Considering they’re one of the only foods that actually makes me feel physically ill, I’ve wondered if I have some sort of minor intolerance. My body fucking hates them, though.

My strategy with this was to ask “why” every time “because I said so” was used as an excuse. After a while, my mother entirely stopped doing it and started explaining her reasoning to me (my father never did it), because I was more patient than her and I’d wear her down.

I don’t know, but those Jezebel chicks are a bunch of lesbian shitasses.

You’ve found my pet peeve. I absolutely loathe those scams and my FB friends spam me with them all the time. I’m sorry you’re dealing with it too.

GUESS WHAT YOU GUYS I AM GETTING A PUPPY! MEET BILL:

How... how old is your sister? How can you never have had any kind of sandwich? Maybe I’m just too Midwestern, but... that’s bewildering to me.

Quiche is basically a scrambled omelette, with or without a pastry shell. I don’t get how people can hate it, unless of course they also hate eggs/omelettes.

I left a guy because of his AWFUL pickyness.

Oh you mean just like adults who do and/or say anything to get out of things they don’t want to do?

I dated a guy who “hated onions” and “had never eaten them” and I was like “You eat onions all the goddamn time, you just don’t know it.”

I figured out how I managed to go from hating asparagus to loving it. My mom loved it, and served it to me once and I hated it, and then she used mom magic: she never served it to me again, but obviously enjoyed it when ever she made it for herself. Bites from mom’s plate always taste better, so I tried it every…

This whole thread has made me realize that my 35-year-old boyfriend is an adult child. At In-N-Out, he orders a double double with just cheese and ketchup. He hates sushi and avocado. He won’t eat “anything that comes from the sea,” which I guess means any type of seafood. I’m a pescetarian so this is crazy to me.…

Maybe she is allergic to red.

Yeah, Balut is something where, uh... I can’t. AND I LIKE THOUSAND YEAR EGG.

I would disagree, actually. If a 5-year-old is showing a proclivity for logic and reason, that should absolutely be encouraged. God knows there’s enough dumb, nonsensical people in the world; we don’t need more of them.

If he’s tried the sprouts and knows he doesn’t like them, he shouldn’t have to eat all of them. Let the poor kid have a little bodily autonomy. The trick to getting kids to try knew foods is to continuously offer them in low-pressure settings. Being a drill sergeant about it is just gonna make everyone dread mealtime.…

The fact that he tried to go for it and then psychologically just couldn’t handle it is amazing and hilarious and wonderful, and I’m actually willing to forgive him his proclivities for that.

Where are you from that your sister made it to adulthood without ever having a sandwich? (Also, I’m assuming she’s an adult based on the rest of this thread, so if she’s a kid, sorry). Burgers I kinda understand because I know a decent number of people who grew up in non US places where burgers aren’t as common or…

Omg this.
