[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m the child of immigrants and we ate what was served (or we didn’t eat) and so did all the other relatives I knew. But DH is not that way and it seems not a lot of people were raised that way. I’m curious to know how this works. I’m surprised to read that a medically normal 15 year old only eats about 8 foods. How do you handle normal meals or eating out? How do you grocery shop? Do you constantly cater to the pickiest eater? This drives me absolutely bonkers dealing with DH and it irks me that so many people think it is normal. [/quote]

Can't speak for the 15 year old, but I have friends, where the guy has an extremely limited palate.  He's in his 40s.  He won't eat veggies/meat with any seasoning other than salt.  And maybe butter.  He only eats one kind of pizza - plain cheese, and from one brand.  Their freezer is full of pizza.  He once had to go to an oyster bar and eat oysters with clients.  He did.  Then excused himself and went to the bathroom, where he threw up.  His wife and kids are vegetarian, and eat a wide variety of foods.  They don't go out to eat as a family, because it is nearly impossible to cater to his needs.  Or he'll eat from home before they go.  I usually go out with the wife and kids, because we can go just about anywhere that way; he has no problems with that, of course.  [/quote]
