Did anyone see that show that was on FN the other night about adult picky eaters? They showed people seeking therapy even hypnosis trying to get over texture issues and other problems they have with some food.

My brother in law and his kids are the most picky people I have ever met in my life! He was just saying the other day he hated gravy of any kind. Said he hated the texture. I had made some dressing from scratch the other day and was amazed he really loved it. I had some cornbread and stale sourdough bread I needed to use up and tons of sage and thyme from the garden. They even told me to make sure I had written down how I made it.
You just never know what they are going to like or hate :rolleyes:
When ever I cook for their holiday dinners Im always kinda afraid to make new things cause you never know what they will eat. My BIL always says my husband is as picky as he is. Jon is in no way as picky as his brother. The only thing Jon wont eat is veggies and thanks to alot of you guys help I have ways I slip them into his diet now.

I just don't understand picky eaters. I learned to eat EVERYTHING. Just about had to or I wouldn't have eaten (Ha). Of course, I have my favorites but still have to be called to the table only once.

That is the way it was at our house when we were growing up to Yoyo. Many times a pot of pinto beans and a mess of wild greens looked like steak to us.

My Dad got social security disability and we could have done well on what he got a month but both of my folks were drunks and every month they owed most of the money to boot leggers who ran them a charge account. So we had very little left for groceries.

I was at my sister's over the weekend taking care of their pets while they were out of town, janie- and I saw this program. It was interesting & enlightening!

However, I've experienced MANY picky eaters in my family and in the cooking biz and NONE of them suffered from these unavoidable phobias.

The picky eaters in my life have indeed been the nose-wrinkling stubborn folks who make a bad name for those who really do suffer from some sort of mental issue about certain foods.

I forgot you have a bunch of picky ones in your family to Kev.
I had never been around picky eaters til I married Jon and went to their first family dinner. His brother and his kids are very picky. My MIL & FIL say his brother has always been super picky so the kids picked it up from their Daddy. They have a new baby who will be a year old in Sept. I wonder if she is gonna be as bad as the other three?

I agree 110%!
