memphish Posted March 7, 2005 Posted March 7, 2005 I want to know what the reason is for plain food for Elissa that gets commented on in the photo updates. Where did this originate? Was there a traumatic experience in your childhood with flavor? Do the donkeys require it plain? Mike "I'm a level 13 vegan. I don't eat anything that casts a shadow" Moore
ChrisZer0 Posted March 7, 2005 Posted March 7, 2005 I would assume she has Taste Bud Defiency Disorder(TBDD). Its a quite common ailment that strikes 1 out of every 2 people. In fact, im putting together a telethon with D through Z grade stars to raise money and awareness of this too common disorder. With research, we'll be able to wipe out this unfortunate disorder in no time flat. Chris "My Taste Lacks WAY Beyond My Tastebuds" Zer0

SharkTums Posted March 7, 2005 Posted March 7, 2005 I'm just a really picky eater... My parents always tell the story about how they had to throw away all the jars of baby food they had bought for me. I just really don't like the taste of most food, it makes me ill. As for the "plain" stuff...the problem is that if I say I eat a Mcdonalds Hamburger, that's all I eat...I will not eat a wendy's, burger king, in n out, etc. I am very brand specific. When I say I eat spaghetti, I eat it with my own sauce, my brands of cheese, etc. I can't just go to olive garden and order spaghetti because I won't like it. There are also certain foods that I really like the smell of, but when I try them I feel sick! (Steak comes to mind!) I'm not really vegetarian/vegan, anything like that...just picky! Elissa "I really wish I wasn't like this!!!" Alvey
Nemmy Posted March 7, 2005 Posted March 7, 2005 Don't feel bad. I don't eat pizza or hot dogs. I hate cheese. I hate sauce on my pasta. I think that pie is crap. The only sub I'll eat is a 12 inch turkey on white or whole weat with lettuce and cucumbers. I won't drink Coke products if there's a choice between them and Pepsi products. I hate all kinds of dressings for stuff. At Coldstone Creamery, the only thing I'll get is the Oreo Overload, and only with vanilla ice cream instead of sweet cream.

ChrisZer0 Posted March 8, 2005 Posted March 8, 2005 I was like elissa when I was a kid, I had my MickyDees burgers "Just The Meat And The Bread" . Hell, I was afraid of green beans and brussel sprouts until about 9-10 years of age.
crispy Posted March 8, 2005 Posted March 8, 2005 YES, let us picky eaters unite I drive my wife CRAZY because I'm so picky Tacos are meat and cheese ONLY, no crap in the beef Olive Garden is Chicken Fetuchini ONLY Mcdonalds is #2 plain with a coke I will eat the other places and LOVE!!!! In and Out Burger, a double with cheese, plain of course You should see the face on the guy at Subway when I ask for a Turkey sandwich, only Mayo I really do annoy my wife somtimes, how does Robb handle it?
SharkTums Posted March 8, 2005 Posted March 8, 2005 He gives me a hard time about it...but he has all of his little quirks also! Elissa "I've been dealing with it so long it seems like second nature!" Alvey
BarryH Posted March 8, 2005 Posted March 8, 2005 I think I'm the opposite of Elissa. If you put it in front of me, I'll probably eat it. Well, except for raw broccoli. I hate that stuff! You know, didn't Elissa eat McDonald's all throughout the Japan trip? It's surprising that she didn't end up like Morgan Spurlock!
SharkTums Posted March 8, 2005 Posted March 8, 2005 Ugh, don't get me started on that guy!!!! I hated that 'documentary'. Elissa "that guy was such a drama queen" Alvey
Meteornotes Posted March 8, 2005 Posted March 8, 2005 My wife also pretty much only likes plain food, though she will eat beef and chicken. But she's not a pain about it, and is really cool about my wanting to eat odd stuff, and will just get rice or chicken if we get to a japanese restaurant. I try to convince her that sushi is plain food, since it's just fish and rice, but so far I have had no success... dt
ChrisZer0 Posted March 8, 2005 Posted March 8, 2005 My moms like that,but she has crones. She eats nothing but oatmeal and rycrisp.
BarryH Posted March 17, 2005 Posted March 17, 2005 Well, if Elissa likes plain food, we won't see her on "Fear Factor Couples" anytime soon eating cow spleen or whatever. Robb, however, will probably dig in!
kenshinmac Posted March 17, 2005 Posted March 17, 2005 I can relate... Except that my parents have all sorts of stories about how I used to eat everything when I was a baby. So I get all sorts of grief like "Oh you used to eat it why don't you eat it now"... Yeah lots of fun after some 20 odd years of it... Still I'm slowly getting better. I can stand a bit of tomato sauce (still don't really like it) and I am trying to taste more things. It drives me nuts though because people are always telling you how good something is and then it really doesn't taste that good to me... I guess everyone has different taste buds and the like. I just wish that some of the foods didn't give me a gag reflex as they go down... That is a dead giveaway when you don't exactly love something.
Real Posted March 18, 2005 Posted March 18, 2005 And I thought I was really bad! I consider myself a picky eater but thats pretty crazy.
X Posted March 20, 2005 Posted March 20, 2005 I actually can not go for 1 day eating plain stuff. I eat everything with sauce and practiclly gag on plain white rice. I hate plain food! Every food I eat MUST have flavor!
XLRBR Posted March 20, 2005 Posted March 20, 2005 ^Same here. I MUST have salt on my chicken and rice, and I don't eat my biscuits with butter or anything. Just salt. Same with gravy. I'll make it and taste it, but will NOT have it on any of my food. I may dip my potatoes in it, but that's it. I am a very picky eater. I won't eat anything from subway, and anytime I go to a fast food resteraunt, I will only have a meal with chicken nuggets or chicken strips and fries. At a buffet, I'll only get chicken, fries, salad, or spaghetti. BUT, I'm not that picky(sort of.)
davidmorton Posted March 20, 2005 Posted March 20, 2005 I ate a scorpion the other week :shock: , it was covered in chocolate though - you just wouldn't catch me eating one without that chocolate, no way! (I'd post a picture, but I can't seem to do it in this topic??) Dave.
robbalvey Posted March 20, 2005 Posted March 20, 2005 ^ You should be able to. Just "add attachement" at the bottom of the box when you are posting a reply. --Robb
Token Yankee Guy Posted March 21, 2005 Posted March 21, 2005 ^ He's right, you can't do attachments on this thread. As for me, I'm not that picky when it comes to eating food. I would pretty much eat anything that looks appealing. The only things I don't like are cooked squash, nuts (except peanuts), and mushrooms. That stuff just makes me gag and I can not tolerate it.
davidmorton Posted March 21, 2005 Posted March 21, 2005 ^^ Yep, you don't appear to have turned on the attachments in this forum - I can do it OK in the other forum, so it must be some sort of forum-specific thang! Dave "ate some bugs (crickets and locusts) too - yum!" M. Edit: In fact it says I can't attach files in this forum just down there at the bottom right of my screen!
Space Freak Posted March 23, 2005 Posted March 23, 2005 I'll eat just about anything at least once. The things that I wont eat again are limited to Cous Cous, smoked cheese, and cheerios. They all make me want to throw up. Rob
Chris Benvenuto Posted April 2, 2005 Posted April 2, 2005 Don't feel bad. I don't eat pizza or hot dogs. I hate cheese. I hate sauce on my pasta. I think that pie is crap.

Jeff "I think I have it worse than you!" Arons DUDE! wow, where do you live in Michigan? Birmingham or Royal Oak, I live in Royal oak and they have Cold Stone Creamery there too! Coldstone kicks serious ass and california doesn't have it! hahaha! Ok, i don't belong in this. but i do not eat anything offered to me if i have plans for a meal later on in the day. or i starve. period.
What Now Posted April 2, 2005 Posted April 2, 2005 ^ There are Coldstone's in California, in fact there are two within a couple of miles from where I live. 8)
SharkTums Posted April 2, 2005 Posted April 2, 2005 There's one about a 5 minute walk from our apartment...in fact it has a painting of SFMM on the side of it! Elissa "Mmm Cake Batter Ice Cream" Alvey
