30 Dishes From The Menu Of Picky Eaters Outside The US, According To People Online

Picky eating tends to be associated with eating a small variety and quantity of foods due to rejecting a substantial amount of foods based on such characteristics as texture, appearance, smell, or mixed ingredients.

The risks may include low nutrient and dietary fiber intakes, while protective factors, especially from parents, include the provision of fresh foods and modeling by, for example, eating the same meal as the child.

Selective taste is more common among young children, for whom most of the foods are new; however, adults can be picky eaters as well, and people shared common foods among picky eaters from different countries, answering one Redditor’s question: “What do picky eaters outside the US eat?”

30 Dishes From The Menu Of Picky Eaters Outside The US, According To People Online This answer will be different for every picky eater. But I can give you mine. And I grew up in Norway, not in the United States.

I grew up in Norway. I do not eat potatoes. I do not eat cooked vegetables. It's a texture thing for me, and that picky eating has stuck with me from when I started eating solid food until the present. Even as an adult, I cannot bring myself to eat mushy veggies or potatoes, no matter how awkward the social situation that results. (For context, I'm 47.)

In my case, I ate raw vegetables instead. No potatoes, and there were a few other vegetables I didn't like, even in raw form. Onions, for example, or brussel sprouts. But most raw vegetables were fine for me. So my mom would make me a salad, or even just a bowl of raw veggies. Even things like green beans and sliced rutabaga, cauliflower or broccoli; the kinds of veggies that are typically not eaten raw.

I guess you could say that as a toddler in Norway in the 1970s, I made my own "raw food" diet decades before it became trendy. And that's still how I eat vegetables to this day.

30 Dishes From The Menu Of Picky Eaters Outside The US, According To People Online We live in New Zealand and my kids does love those foods too, but her favourite is honestly just plain pasta with grated cheese (usually Colby, which we get here in 1kg blocks) and a side of cucumber and carrot. Definitely not the worst meal she could have, so I consider it a win :) her palate is generally pretty bland. Strangely though, she loves pork and chive dumplings/potstickers.

As a “picky” kid, I preferred raw veggies and such. Basically, you could turn me loose at the veggie and charcuterie table and I’d make a full meal of veggies, fruit, crackers, meats, etc. Turns out, I really just did not like canned veg, nor did I like how half the meats were cooked by my fam (under or over seasoned). I loved middle and high school, as a number of my teachers liked to introduce us to fruit that was harder to get where we lived, or we’d do “introduce us to your culture” days. Got to try a bigger variety than what my fam made.

30 Dishes From The Menu Of Picky Eaters Outside The US, According To People Online I have a cousin in India who only eats eggs if the yolk is perfectly basted but not popped and it has to be close to centered. Aside from that, he eats chips, candy, no vegetables and white rice with really basic ground meat cooked with garlic/ginger, turmeric, green chili and no visible onions. If he gets a noticeable piece of onion he gets angry that the cook didn’t cut them smaller.

Another family friend only eats food if you give him ketchup with it. Like he will eat biryani with freaking ketchup. No ketchup? Not eating unless he is risking really offending someone. And that’s a grown adult btw. I babysat his kids when they were staying in the states.

I live in the US. Alaska to be specific. My kid is a picky eater. They used to be diagnosed with ARFID back when they were 4. They’re 12 now.

They hate macaroni and cheese, ketchup, most kinds of potato, pizza if it has too much sauce. They don’t like soup/stew but they will eat ramen or udon

*however*
They *love* mustard, they also eat seaweed, whole fried fish (especially the eyeballs), barbecue sauce, musubi, they recently started eating grilled cheese, they like salmon. They like clams, sushi, sashimi. I’m sure I’m forgetting things.

So while my kid is a picky eater, they are not a *basic* eater. Sometimes I wish I could open a box of Kraft.

The only vegetable they will touch is raw carrots and it takes like an hour to get them to chew them. (Edit to add they will eat edamame)

They can do grapes and maybe bananas.

I've been to about a dozen western countries outside the U.S. I try not to be an annoying American by asking a waiter to customize my dish too much. I sometimes find a supermarket the first day and pick up crackers and deli meat to bring back to the hotel. If I can't find a meal that I can eat at a restaurant, I can usually at least find an appetizer or a bowl of rice to eat so I can be social, knowing that I have food waiting for me back in my room.

Now I see kids not liking any fish, fatty meat and some veggies.

We also have a lot of dishes that are thought to be traditional, but they actually are just sad Soviet period adaptations specifically suited for cheap mass production (think school and workplace canteens and such). Sometimes they are extremely budget variations of proper European cuisine, sometimes just the most time- and energy-efficient cooking options. Also, they are often cooked with no regard for the colour or texture (or even taste).

I'm in Norway.

My kids will eat bread with liver patê, cheese (brown or yellow/white), or jam. Yoghurt, scrambled eggs, oat porridge, fruits, some bakery items, grilled cheese. For dinner they will eat pasta (any with tomato sauce or pesto), pizza, meatballs, fish cakes, hotdogs, tomato soup, rice porridge, or ham and cheese wraps. The only vegetables my daughter eats are sweetcorn and cucumber. She won't even touch a potato (in any form). All meat is processed to the point of losing the "meaty" texture except for the ham (but we get the thinly sliced packet). It's not the worst in terms of nutrition, but we're working on adding more vegetables and textures to her diet.

I’m a picky eater and my favourite picky foods are pasta (usually with store brought sauces but if not with homemade cheese sauce and butter or just ketchup), plain rice or rice with just 1 or 2 side dishes at most (I don’t like it when a lot of food items get mixed in what I eat), instant noodles, breads, cheese, nuts, and biscuits. I’m a vegetarian too but I eat only a few selected vegetables and I can’t stand raw veges except for carrots. I am currently severely underweight and so want to improve my diet but it’s not easy to try new options with today’s economy. People hate adult picky eaters but it’s not always easy to stop being one instantly. E.g.: forcefully eating something I don’t want to makes me sick.

For all parents struggling when their kid who only eats pasta and similar stuff here's a life hack my genius MIL came up with for my picky son. Cook a whole batch of homemade stock, add all seasonal veggies (avoid tomatoes because they'll color the stock) and a meat of your choice in there. Cook, remove the veggies and meat (we usually make a potáge with the veggies for us) and freeze the stock in ice trays. Add a cube or two depending on size into the water where you cook the pasta, rice or whatever the little picky eater eats or at the very end so it soaks it up after cooking and voila! They're none the wiser and at least get some vitamins into them
