[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Geez, what is up with people calling OP unrefined, immature and the like? If OP genuinely can't eat even mildly spicy food or else have a reaction, how is that OP's fault?? And unrefined? As if eating certain foods makes you refined? What a joke.

OP, if you were my good friend, I would like to know your restrictions and would try to serve a few items that you could eat. [/quote]

I'm the picky eater who posted above. I don't think OP is unrefined or immature because she doesn't like a lot of things. I think she's unrefined and immature by the way she is acting and by saying that things look like $hit or making a big deal about food that is mushy or wine or a pepper flake. It's totally fine not to like a lot of things, but as an adult you figure out how to deal with things you don't like so as not to draw negative attention to yourself -- whether that means training yourself to tolerate certain foods or moderately spicy ingredients or helping yourself to just enough food that you can tolerate or whatever. What is immature is going to a sit down dinner and only eating naan and water -- you don't think the entire dinner party noticed that behavior?? Yes - it's impolite for anyone to comment on what anyone is eating, but this is the real world -- when there are a half dozen things to choose from in an Indian buffet and you don't try ANY of them and sit there and eat dry naan, people will comment. Maybe realize that going out to eat or eating at someone's home is NOT about the food, it is about the socialization. But when you make SUCH a big deal about the food that people continuously have to check on you and say "oh why aren't you trying any of the entrée, are you sure you only want crackers" -- it takes away from everyone else's socialization.[/quote]
