We were interested as to why some people are such picky eaters. Dr. Harron, the founder of Monarch Wellness & Psychotherapy, was kind enough to shed some light on the topic.

"Picky eaters usually result from a combination of genetics and environment," she explained to us.

"They may have more sensitivity in terms of food taste and texture, and then if they are not exposed to a variety of foods early on, they may begin to feel like they aren't able to eat a wide variety," Harron told Bored Panda.

"Uncut Lettuce As Salads": People Share 30 Common Food Trends That They Hate When lettuce isn’t bite size - unless it’s *deliberately* served whole and meant to be cut up (say a grilled lettuce salad). But something like romaine or something in a classic Caesar, etc, I really shouldn’t have to cut it up more.

When there’s a crispy coating on a protein, but then when plating for aesthetics they cover it with a wet salad or sauce so that by the time it gets to the table it’s soaked through. I get that it looks nice, but I want maximum crunch from the breading and not soggy bread party seconds into my meal.

The clinical psychologist shared her thoughts on what someone could do if they wanted to try and expand their culinary horizons a bit.

"If someone is a picky eater, they can begin to expand their culinary tastes by trying small amounts of new and different foods," she suggested taking small steps at first.

"The only way to expand your comfort zone is to sit outside of it," Dr. Harron said.

"If this is extremely difficult, or your diet is extremely limited, you might want to be evaluated for Avoidant and Restrictive Food Intake Disorder (ARFID) and receive professional support."

The author of the thread, redditor u/ahfansaerdet, has some very understandable pet peeves about food. In their opinion, there shouldn’t be any bones in stews or sauces. They’re also not a fan of cartilage in meals. And that’s fair! Ideally, everything on your plate is edible and you don’t have to get messy with your fingers and/or napkin. Yours truly, for instance, deeply loathes fish that still has bones in the filet. I don’t want to think about the (tiny) possibility of choking while I’m trying to enjoy the exquisitely-prepared dish.

Meanwhile, other redditors shared their own dislikes. Some, for instance, can’t stand dishes that have shrimp with tails on them if they’re not meant to be eaten by hand. Others don’t like eating salads where the ingredients are mega-sized: they don’t want to cut everything themselves. Still, others can’t stomach ordering meat dishes that are half fat (yuck!). In short, people expect chefs to maintain certain standards, not take the easy way out while picking the ingredients, cooking, and plating everything.

Getting a salad that's not chopped is infuriating to me. I don't have a chef's knife at the restaurant table. This is especially egregious when the salad is served on a small plate and I have a dull butter knife. It's no wonder so many Americans don't like salads. They've never had a well balanced, chopped salad and instead get a plate of full leaves, giant rings of raw onions, and huge tomato slices on a freaking tiny plate. I'll even order, "can I get this salad chopped please?" And they will stare at me like I'm crazy and tell me that's not possible. Ok, then can I go back there and chop it myself? I know you have a knife!

Sir, calm down we are definitely not getting you a near a sharp knife.

While it’s fine to be picky about what you eat, it’s best to focus on the quality of the ingredients and to focus on healthy dishes, rather than to boycott something because you find the texture weird or it ‘looks icky.’ If you go down the latter path, you’re effectively limiting yourself. And it can be quite fun to expand your culinary horizons.

For instance, ‘So Yummy!’ points out that some of the top ingredients that people loathe include beets, olives, and cilantro. As it happens, they’re ingredients that yours truly has had a particularly tough time enjoying, growing up. However, after getting the initial ‘ick factor’ and trying the items in different forms and dishes, I’ve genuinely come to enjoy them. Personal growth? In a small but satisfying way—yes! Culinary adventures are a simple, fun way to spice up your life (though I still prefer my beets caramelized rather than raw).

As we’ve mentioned on Bored Panda previously, what foods you’re going to enjoy comes down to a mix of nature and nurture: specifically, it depends on your tastebuds, as well as what your relatives cooked for you when you were little. If you’re used to stronger spices because they’re what’s used in your culture’s traditional meals, you’ll be more positively predisposed to spicy food than someone from a different background. Meanwhile, if your parents avoided mushrooms or never really told you to eat your greens, you might find the texture too exotic to enjoy. As 'Your Kids Table' notes, some kids might simply be scared or anxious to try new ingredients.

If you’re a parent, you can always try bribery to make your kid try something new or nutritious. There’s nothing like the promise of ice cream or video games to improve someone’s chances of taking a bite out of that weird tiny tree-like thing they call broccoli. However, you shouldn’t force your children to eat something that they absolutely despise. Otherwise, you might create more negative associations in their mind.

I realize that I am probably on an island on this one but for me, raw onions are one of those things that I just really, really dislike.

I have the same reaction to green peppers (cooked or raw) as far as taste goes. Not sure if it's a genetic thing (like people who think cilantro tastes like soap or people who have asparagus pee) but something about raw onions and/or green peppers is just repugnant to me.

Not in the soapy way of genetics, just generally gross. I don’t know how it became so popular even in Tex-mex dishes because it was never present in anything I ever ordered until about 25 years ago. Both are things I wish I enjoyed.

It’s sad because home grown tomatoes can be really good but most commercial ones are grown for looks, not flavor, and are therefore absolutely vile.

Mango and miso. I’ve tried them so many times, in so many ways and I just can’t stand them. I’m not the biggest fan of curry either.

Aw, guys. No need to downvote this just because OP dislike something you like. I found some people mentioned they dislike raw onion, raisins, olives, etc while I LOVE them so so so much. Yet I don't downvote them. It's just personal preference! I too love mango and miso, but here an upvote for you :)

I have no issues with bone-in meat - more flavour - BUT I hate it when the bones have bit chopped mid-bone, not just at joints. When I get a small piece of meat, I expect it to be bone-free. It's easy to eat around a full-sized bone.

I don't like melted cheese other than: mozarella (pizza, lasagna), eggplant parmesean, burgers, fondue, french onion soup, grilled cheese, macaroni and cheese (and iterations w protein/veg.) It does nothing for me at all when I see it on like a random chicken breast, steak or stuffed in most things that make no sense to me. They end up kind of salty, greasy.

Undercooked mushrooms where they are kind of slimy.

I agree about the mushrooms. I absolutely love them if they are cooked properly but they aren't pleasant if they are slimy. Can't agree about cheese, though. In my opinion, there isn't much that can't be improved by melting some cheese on it!

Chopped walnuts in desserts like carrot cake or brownies.

My mom’s candied yams. Canned yams mixed with booze and tons of brown sugar and cinnamon and then topped with marshmallows and baked. It’s so sweet…too sweet.

Raisins…I hate raisins. Great way to ruin a cinnamon roll.

Olives. If there are olives in it, I’m picking them out or skipping the meal. Black olives to me taste like a mixture of salt and the can they were in. Very metallic tasting to me.

Storytelling, journalism, and art are a core part of who I am. I've been writing and drawing ever since I could walk—there is nothing else I'd rather do. My formal education, however, is focused on politics, philosophy, and economics because I've always been curious about the gap between the ideal and the real. At work, I'm a Senior Writer and I cover a broad range of topics that I'm passionate about: from psychology and changes in work culture to healthy living, relationships, and design. In my spare time, I'm an avid hiker and reader, enjoy writing short stories, and love to doodle. I thrive when I'm outdoors, going on small adventures in nature. However, you can also find me enjoying a big mug of coffee with a good book (or ten) and entertaining friends with fantasy tabletop games and sci-fi movies.

Highly unpopular opinion, but I hate nuts in my sweets. Chocolate with hazelnuts? No. I can tolerate almonds though. Cake with walnuts/hazelnuts/other? No. Snickers? Hell no. Now downvote me into oblivion if you please.

I personally don't see why nuts and coconut get added to so many breakfast cereals. Even the "plain" granola has nuts in it! Or they put them in/on otherwise delicious baked goods (cakes, brownies, cookies etc) or ice creams but don't mention it on the front of the packet or on the menu, so I have to go hunting through the ingredients every time I want to buy some....

Most of these "trends" are traditional foods in other cuisines. For me, a trend is like having everything stacked up on a plate, or serving French fries in a mini fryer basket so they are cold in 3 minutes. Or foods made with charcoal

I hate it when someone takes a perfectly good salad and then drowns it in balsamic vinegar. It was a big thing at cafes around here for several years and led to me outright hating balsamic vinegar generally. Thank goodness they seem to have gotten over it by now.

Smoked Paprika sprinkled on something. Yes, it looks interesting, but it wasn't included in the menu description, and I am intolerant of it, so please bring me my houmous/aioli/calamari/pasta/whatever without the sprinkles. Same applies to finishing dishes with chili oil. Just don't.
