    I have a minor allergy to onions and can only eat them without suffering if they’re caramelized or otherwise thoroughly cooked.

      I thought my parents’ cooking was great, until I grew up and started cooking myself, and discovered I had a talent for it. Now I realize my parents couldn’t cook at all.

      Now life is reversed, and I’m taking care of my Mom (Dad’s gone), and I do ALL the cooking.

      I still despise onions though. That wasn’t my Mom’s cooking, I just despise onions. And green peppers.

      It isn’t about growing up, onions just taste terrible to some people, the way cilantro or asparagus tastes bad to some. I know a guy who is fine with onions, but feels the way I feel toward them about CUCUMBERS, of all things. They basically taste like water, but he can’t stand to be in the same room with one.

      Is his name Carm in the show because he’s caramelizing from first episode to last, and finally becomes the onion we all love?

      I am halfway through s4 and it’s boring so I stopped watching.

    Mmmmm nice slice of sourdough with duck fat (goose fat may also do, but duck is better) and onions with a pinch of salt 🤤

    You know what. I should. I should grow up. I already love onions. But this sends a message.

    Children often just want sweets and unhealthy snacks, and it’s up to adults to make sure they get the nutrition their little bodies require. If a grown ass adult decides they don’t want to eat something, though, they likely have tried it and have their reasons for avoiding it. It’s really nobody else’s damned business.

    Remember kids: all shaming of “picky” eating is just socially acceptable ableism, and you should be fucking ashamed of yourself.

      Actually, telling me I cant call people names is bullyist and highly offensive to my culture. Maybe think about everyone you might be effecting first.

            Because anyone publicly displaying ableism really ought to be ashamed. But most of you secretly agree withost forms of ableism and so you’ll never shame people for it. Case in point: you’re here defending naked bigotry because the people being discriminated against are weird and/or childish in your estimation, so they obviously deserve the bigotry, or at least the bigotry is neutral.

            “you’d better learn to like eating food your body will treat like poison so I’m not mildly inconvenienced” is…well that’s certainly a take.

            Why does everyone seem to have this insipid hate boner for people whose restricted diet is due to medical factors outside of their control but nobody gives people any shit for their 100% voluntarily restricted diets?

            Where’s this kind of energy when people eat Kosher? Or Halal? Or Vegan? Nobody’s entire neurology is fighting against them breaking any of those food taboos, but they’re generally respected by the same Normies who push for torturing neurodivergent kids with inedible food “for their own good”.

              No no, medical issues are fine, so are religious beliefs. Fussy eaters are immature dickheads.

                Yeah, “medical issues are fine but fussy eaters are dickheads” = “I am the sole arbiter of whether your disability counts or not”. Because not every neurodivergent person is gonna give your their entire medical history to explain why your shit food isn’t going to work for them.

                I swear every Neurotypical alive would eat feces directly from a toilet if someone somehow convinced them everyone else was doing it and it would be weird of them to refuse.

    If you’re allergic to shellfish, grow the fuck up. If you still have blue eyes, grow the fuck up. If you were born in January, grow the fuck up.

    See how stupid you sound?

    Don’t you think that if I could get over my revulsion of one of the most common ingredients in recipes across the entire world, I would? Do you know how much easier eating at restaurants and at other people’s houses would be?

      I agree that it’s dumb because people have their preferences but comparing not liking someone to literally being incapable of consuming it is a bit much.

        I have a gag reflex when eating onions (and a couple other random things, like sweet pickles… I love sour pickles, btw). It’s not a preference. My body physically rejects it.

      As kindly as possible, it’s just a joke, maybe a joke in poor taste, but a joke nonetheless. No one would say this seriously.

      I don’t like fish. I have tried salmon, cod, tuna, sardines and a couple others MULTIPLE TIMES and my brains just refuse to accept any and all of it. I have tried it as a filet, in salads, on bread, fried, with onions, with whatever else in all sorts of dishes, even soups!

      Doesn’t matter. Brains go ‘nope’. I’ll keep trying it I guess until my brains no longer try to convince me fish are literal poison.

        I’m not fish averse, but my wife is. I have managed to make one fish she likes. Take a frozen Mahi Mahi filet, preheat air fryer to 400F, rub the filet with a bit of oil, and season with garlic salt, bit of black pepper, and a pinch of crushed red pepper. Place on the airfryer (still frozen) for 14 minutes, flipping halfway through. It should end up slighty crispy on the edges, moist and flaky inside. Finish with a good squeeze of fresh lemon juice (it’s essential, don’t use the bottled stuff).

        Mahi mahi is the least fishy fish out there. It still has a fish texture, but tastes like meat. Not dissimilar to chicken.

        But also, it’s perfectly okay to not like something. Don’t waste your money unless you really want to try it.

          Every time my mother decides to go on a diet, when we eat at her place she serves us fish.

          She always loses weight on those diets because she overcooks her fish. It’s nasty.
