[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wow, OP -- water and tortilla chips? You really couldn't bring yourself to try anything else on the menu?

Yours is more than a food preference or aversion, it's an illness. Adults learn to broaden their palette and try new things. [/quote]

I HAVE tried new things. I just don't like a lot of them. :) The first time I ate strawberries with vinegar on them I (didn't know about the vinegar and) thought they'd gone horribly rotten. When I was in Mexico I tried chicken mole even though it looked like liquid shit on top of chicken. It tasted fine. I had an Indian roommate and tried her food numerous times and always wound up gulping tons of water. I was once given a complementary glass of OJ at a restaurant. When I took a sip it tasted wrong and mentioned it to the friend I was brunching with - she tasted it and laughed at me - it had champagne in it. I tried quinoa (didn't like it), some pasta dish my sister made (it would have been okay without the white sauce) - I try things regularly. [/quote]

So, your real problem is that you don't want to deal with this friend and her comments.  If that is the case, decline the invite and be done with it.

You clearly have no interest in either broadening or sucking up (i.e. my kid doesn't like ANY foods besides cheese sticks and granola bars, but he eats a well-rounded diet anyway because he believes in being healthy - it's just food).  Be how you want to be, but your limited palate is life-limiting.
