[quote=Anonymous]Lifelong picky eater here (though I’ve gotten better over time):

1) I really focused in college and the years shortly after on making sure I could eat SOMETHING at any type of restaurant. Started with the easy ones: orange chicken at a Chinese place, Alfredo sauce at an Italian place, etc. Worked up from there. All ethnicities, all types of food. I can (and happily do!) eat everywhere. Thai, Vietnamese, French, Ethiopian, Mexican, sushi, etc. I’ve got something I can order. My one hold out exception is some vegan/vegetarian cafes with limited menus, but that’s just not that common. So I’m almost never the one saying “oh, there’s nothing for me to eat there.”

2) My husband is the cook, and while I wouldn’t like it all the time, I encourage him to sometimes cook food I don’t like. I eat a side (or honestly, nothing sometimes) and grab something on my own later. I want my kids to be exposed to all kinds of foods and not have my limited palate, and we’re big on family dinners.

3) Honestly, I avoid dinner parties other than close, close friends. I’m not comfortable telling other people what they can’t cook, but I’m also not comfortable with people cooking a whole meal for me and then not eating it. Nor do I want to spend a whole evening hungry. [/quote]
