Sharing a meal is a natural way to spend time with others, whether it’s a romantic dinner for two, a big family feast, or a potluck with friends. But picky eaters make it difficult to bond over a meal. They often have trouble finding anything they like on a menu, and they usually don’t enjoy trying new things.

I am not a picky eater. I like to try new things but they must be good for eating and delicious and appeal to me. I don’t like spicy food much but i don’t mind to eat. It’s just not my favourite food.

I think i am a picky eater. I prefer making food by myself. Only in that case I know what is put in food. I like trying new things but sometimes am disappointed with all that. And would never try something like bugs and sheep intestine. It’s just too strange to me. Laughing

I think I’m definitely not a picky eater,actually,I ‘d like trying any food which can be eating,whatever is looking good or not,I like sea food,vegatable,coarse food grain,I don’t like meat nowadays,because they are not healthy for our body,everybody says,disease because to eat not correct,so eating right and excrise are the keys to good health,I used to like eating hot pot,because this food famous of china,but now ,i rarely eat that,you know,the oil of hot pot normally use again and again,use again by return and filtration,how disgusting,besides,as we all know ,oil while use againg and againg lead to people got cancer.

I’m a part time picky eater. But when i’ m hungry i close my eyes and open up my mouth. I strive myself to eat food i dont like because for some odd reasons they all seem to be very healthy. I guess its all about getting used to the food itself.i use to despise brocoli and spinach now their my best friends or any kind if vegetable, a meal is not complete to mee if i dont see green on my plate. Broaden your horizon try out new dishes at least twice, especially if a foreign friend offered them to you, it comes across a bit rude if you reject their offers. If the dish doesnt do you good your system wilk kick it out
