[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Do you people really not know any midwesterner rubes? The kind who can only tolerate salt, pepper, and garlic salt, and exist on meat and potatoes? [/quote]

NP. I know plenty of “rubes,” but geographic location has nothing to do with it. The pickiest adult eater I know is from hunt country Virginia. He is exactly as you describe above. Another picky eater I know is from upstate New York and is as meat-and-potatoes as they come, and also doesn’t like cheese or pizza. Picky adult eaters have one thing in common—immaturity—and it has nothing to do with where they are form or where they live. My faux-vegan SIL who literally eats bacon “because she can’t resist it” is from Berkeley.[/quote]
I’m not a picky eater but I completely disagree that picky eater = immature. It’s not a moral failing, Amy more than lreferring chocolate ice cream over strawberry is a moral failing.[/quote]

Agree. The pickiest eater I know is from Maryland, another one from Manhattan (born and raised), and the other one from Southern California.  The “pickiness” is different for all of them but all in all if they were from Iowa you would be attributing it to them being “rubes”.

Well they are rubes based on their behavior.[/quote]
