[quote=Anonymous]I'm 32 and I would say my taste preferences broadened in my late teens to early 20s and I definitely got less picky in terms of willingness to try new things, enjoyment of different spices and sauces, etc. but the texture issues never changed. I was not as picky as your son sounds but I had/have serious issues with foods that my brain thinks are supposed to be one texture but present as another.  E.g. cereal should be crunchy, I have never put milk in it. I cannot stand sandwich bread that has gotten wet with oil or too much mayo,  I will throw the whole thing out. I can't do ice cream cones because they should be crunchy and they get soggy. Improperly cooked pasta or anything mildly burned, blech. But I have no trouble with naturally mushy foods like mashed potatoes, pudding, Jell-O, etc.

The biggest impact this has is with leftovers, as I can't stand most of them because the texture changes from what it's "supposed" to be on the second heating. Chicken is about it for me on that. [/quote]
