[quote=Anonymous]I’m an adult picky eater, and I actually think this is a reasonable question.

The biggest thing I did was to work hard in my 20s to find SOMETHING I can eat at any type of restaurant. It took a lot of trial and error and paying for meals at lots of places that I didn’t eat, but I can confidently eat any type of cuisine now - Indian, Ethiopian, sushi (that was the last one I figured out - but a California roll works for me!), Thai, Mexican, anywhere people want to go, I’m in.

The other thing I do is avoid dinner parties or going over to new friends’ houses for dinner. I don’t want to be a burden, I don’t want to present a list requirements, I don’t want to push food around on my plate and have people think they did something wrong. Once a friendship is well established and they know I’m picky, that gives folks the option of either asking/learning what I eat and accommodating, or not inviting me over for meals, both of which are great options.

My one pet peeve is people who try to talk me out of being a picky eater or pressure me to try stuff I don’t like. I’m an adult, I’ve tried, leave me alone. [/quote]
