I don’t eat everything—I’m a pescatarian for one—but I like to try new cuisines and couldn’t deal with someone like that.

Is this the new " I'm a vegan" " I'm gluten free" I keep seeing it in people's profiles?

Huh? No. Being a pescatarian is hardly new, for one. I could explain my reasons to you, but you sound pretty judgmental.

To add: Pescatarians have been around since Pythagoras. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pescetarianism

It's like I said I'm suddenly seeing it in everyone's profiles like gluten-free a few years back. SO I;m curious. No judgment. But you are definately judgmental and aggressive.

It's definitely the new trend. PP being a pescatarian had nothing to do with the topic yet pp brought it up much like the trendy vegan and glute free , keto, people did/do.

Not likiling most vegetables would be a deal breaker.

OP here. I just found that bizarre, especially added to everything else. Ad I admit I was a little turned off by his revelation, we haven't slept together, yet but after learning of his bland tastes I have wondered if that crosses over to the bedroom.

For me “can cook only eggs” will be the dealbreaker. Who is taking care him now? I have a long list of what I don’t eat/cook myself, but then the list of what I do eat and can cook is also pretty extensive.

I wouldn't care about mac and cheese, red meat, or fried chicken, but the lack of herbs, spices, and vegetables would be a problem.

I think there is picky and then there is PICKY! This probably won't be a popular opinion but I actually don't even like going out to dinner with people who are extremely picky. I once had experience eating out to dinner with someone who couldn't find ANYTHING she would eat on the menu which had apps, salads, soup, sandwiches, fish, chicken, etc, and ended up ordering a grilled cheese and french fries from the kid's menu. It was weird! Couldn't imagine living with someone like this!

Just stop. You thinking being pescatarian is new just shows your ignorance. I brought it up because it’s why I don’t eat everything. It was relevant to the thread.

Deciding to not eat meat, with the exception of fish, is really not the same as deciding gluten is bad for you.

Fish is well-known as healthy, and meat has well-known problems.

People need to stop equating an actually healthy diet with weird fads.

A minor nuisance, not a dealbreaker.

Yeah, he probably doesn’t eat that either.

Same. I refuse to go out to dinner with a good friend’s mother. She will literally combine multiple items from the menu into a new dish. She will send back plates multiple times if it’s not seasoned PERFECTLY to her tastes. Her son-in-law - also my good friend - is ready to blow his stack at his MIL.

The irony of all this is that she’s a caterer who should know better.

I don’t think it matters. Cook separately. Problem solved.

Seems impractical. How does this work if OP (eventually) has a family?

DP, no way. An adult without allergies should be able to find something acceptable on most any menu. To resort to eating a grilled cheese from the kid's menu is really bizarre. I am definitely not the weird one if we go to a restaurant and you sit there eating buttered toast because any of the other 25+ options was not ok.
