Reply #10: i've heard something about super-tasters... [View All]

for instance, some of them have very sensitive taste buds for bitter tastes ... more sensitive than those of the average person.

I am definitely a picky eater. Lots of times I don't care for the texture of the food as you chew it. And if I don't care for the smell, I definitely don't like the taste. (Brussel sprouts and asparagus stink!)

I was finicky even as an infant ... so the doctor told my mom to put corn syrup in my formula! Thus a carb addict was born.

The only vegetables i care for are corn, carrots (raw or stir fried crispy), steamed green beans (not canned!), cabbage in cole slaw (not cooked unless in a spring roll), black beans, pinto/refried beans.

Fruits I like are apples (not cooked, not in applesauce), bananas, pineapple.

I eat beef (not veal), ham, chicken and turkey (don't care a lot for dark meat), bacon, pork chops/roast/ribs. Sometimes eat brats and italian sausage.

I don't care for onions raw, and only rarely cooked (like in spaghetti sauce). I HATE lettuce and can taste even a small amount, like if it gets into my taco by accident. HATE raw tomatoes.

I love most kinds of bread, pasta, cheese, milk, large curd cottage cheese, butter, mayonnaise, and of course desserts and snack foods.
