Some people will joke about the trauma as a way to cope. Doesn't make it less bad or okay. I totally don't agree with forcing kids to eat foods they don't like, within reason. If your kid gets a well balanced, nutritious diet, then who cares if they don't like peas or brussel sprouts. But if your kid won't eat anything but ketchup and chicken nuggets, then parents, of course, will have to find a way to encourage them to eat their veg. Extreme picky eating may also be a sign of a medical problem, so it's good to be observant.

Yep!

Agreed

Tried olives again after a decade. They are even worse now, so yes, the statement is correct.

Seriously. If you can't do one of the most basic things required to keep you alive, that does not say good things about what you bring to the table in a relationship!

Vanilla IS NOT BORING. It goes with many things, including savory dishes (ask the Malagasy people). I eat a lot of things, and vanilla is still my favorite flavor of ice cream.

Oh hell no… keep that bougie nastiness far away from me

A stray adopted me last year. I bought several brands in several flavors, none of which she liked. She was fending for herself on a diet of mice and other wild critters, but would turn her nose up at 1.29 can cat food.

Who loves pickles?? 👇

I love Mayo on chips.

Growing up in England, liver and bacon with mashed potatoes and gravy was always a popular dish

YES

Awwww.... show us on the doll where someone's choice of food hurt you.

All these sound good.

Anyone else put jam on bagels

Those are very interesting combos, gotta try them out one day

We could be friends

I love jelly and cream cheese.

Nothing wrong with any of that. I've eaten bagels and fresh fruit. I like mine with cream cheese to add tartness and fat, and to keep the fruit from moving. Depending on the jelly and cheese, it can be quite good. Popcorn and chocolate is a thing, even salty, buttery popcorn. That's just sweet and salty.

Best sandwich is peanut butter with sliced strawberries or blueberries, instead of jam.

Holy s**t, why had nobody ever suggested jam on bagels to me before? That sounds amazing.

I'm with you and I need to know what kind of cheese.

Hm Got to try the popcorn and M and M's deal!

I would smear my bagel with either cream cheese or butter then put real blueberries or strawberries on. Nothing wrong here!

Depends on the type of bagel, onion? Stay away from me. Plain? I see where you are coming from

One of my mum's favourites is granny Smith apples wi5h chuffed cheese. Apparently it is a thing. Thinking I might give it a try now I can get lactose free cheese

The last one… oh no no no no

M&M and Skittles. If you're waiting for it, the chocolate and fruit flavors blend nicely. But most people aren't expecting the blend and scream that Im a monster when I share with them.

Sweet and Salty are a classic combo. Potato chips taste even better with a chocolate bar.

Clearly you like the sweet and salty combo

Grape jelly with cream cheese on toast is a fav of mine since childhood.

I tried m & m's with popcorn before, for myself I didn't care for it. Didn't like the two different textures of popcorn and m & m's together.

they sound good except the last one!

All tasty options. BBQ chips and cottage cheese. Peanut butter and jelly with oat meal. Hot cocoa and oatmeal. Gold fish and tuna sandwich

Gotta get me a bag of M&Ms!

want a good flavor? (if your teeth can handle it) chew up popcorn and milk duds at the same time. totally different flavor, also chew a bit of hamburger three times then put in a swig of coco-cola. different flavor again.

I don't think the jelly and cheese sounds good but the other two I thought was common

So reading y'alls comments, I'm getting the impression that virtually any candy mixed with popcorn is a good combo. Now me, I used to eat popcorn with Hot Tamales mixed in. My friend still does, and we're both in our 50s now.

OP, you and I would get along just fine. Esp the m&m trick.

A cream cheese bagel topped with fresh berries sounds lovely!

Grape jelly & cream cheese on crackers, hell yes it's super tasty

Wait until you try popcorn with jalapeños

All this sound amazing. Also sometimes my mom does the popcorn thing with chocolatey candy and gummies. We call it "magic popcorn" XD

My only issue is I feel the berries would slip out when you take a bite; I'd still try it though

I don’t remember where, but I think I remember just buying m&ms and popcorn in bags at the store

We dump M&M’s, junior mints, and Reese’s pieces in our tub of popcorn at the movie theater…

My toast, bacon, and burgers, say otherwise, my friend.

I have to ask: when did the OP feel a slug crawling down their throat, and what mushrooms have they eaten?

Yes and no. I LOVE mint chocolate chip ice cream if made right. However, it feels as though the past 15-20 years many brands have switched to a tooth paste like mint - artificial, sickly, and 🤢

Here isa person who probably never had a good tomato in their life. Eating the c**p that is bred to have a long shelf life, is mushy and tastes like wet sawdust is disgusting. But a really good, juicy freshly picked fully ripe tomato? Eat them in any way possible.

IT'S BAD BECAUSE YOU LEFT OUT THE HORSERADISH YOU PIKER
