I drink yerba mate because coffee does terrible things to my stomach. Shoe Ears and family refer to it as "horse tea" because it has a grassy element to the flavor.

Thanks for posting that link. I had been meaning to look up what maté is because its constantly mentioned in the fiction of Jorge Luis Borges, and your post reminded me.

I love how white people are super-into telling everyone about food they don't like or can't eat because the taste/texture/smell makes them feel sick.

Also how they are gluten and lactose intolerant and can't have certain vegetables because it makes them gassy

and how they are delicate fragile flowers who must be coddled and pampered like the jewels of the animal kingdom.

Fucking hell. This is not the "foods my picky white ass passes judgement on" thread.

And yes, I just called you white.

I despise the food that comes prepackaged because the way it tastes makes me nauseous, unless it doesn't, and then I don't.  I refuse to eat any food that hasn't been on a stove and watched almost constantly for a period of no less than three hours, unless I don't, in which case I eat it as enthusiastically as if it had been.

OK, you have me there. Hyper-processed food is nasty and bad for you, though if you're starving anything tastes pretty damn good. I'm not sure a distaste for nutritionally bankrupt overprocessed food really counts as "picky", though.

Not anymore! Now my menu consists of two choices: take it or leave it.

And before, when I was subjected to the indignities of running a restaurant kitchen, most of the front of the house staff new better than to come to me with requests based on pickiness as my usual response would be something along the lines of "well if they can't find anything on the fucking menu that they fucking like, maybe they should go the fuck somewhere else!"

This does not apply to actual allergies, I have all of the sensitivity in the world about that and will go way out of my way to be accommodating. But when someone wants this dish but without this or that component because they really just don't like those? Well fuck the fuck you, cocksmoker, either find a dish that your picky ass DOES like or go to fucking Wendy's.

I can understand that, I suppose. I usually just leave the bits I don't like on the plate, myself. More of that not being a princess about what I eat.

See, and I have no problem AT ALL with that. Once the plate is in your hands, it's yours to do what you want with.

Anyway, I was just busting your balls. Cracker. :lulz:

That reminds me of my chef at the bistro I worked at.

You have an allergy? He will do whatever he can to give you something tasty without the killing component, because you genuinely want the dish.

You're picky and don't want a certain component because you don't like it? Stop backing up the line and GTFO.

Same, when I was working in a kitchen.  We'd grumble at allergies, but at the end of the day, what can you do? 

People just being overly picky, because they're "paying good money" (as opposed to bad money?) and expect to have their every minor whim catered to, on the other hand...  Fuck that shit.  You want the five star treatment, you start paying five star prices.

The only time I made a bigger deal than, "no mushrooms, please" was at the cafeteria at the university where I worked.  They had a stir fry thing, you pick your own food out, hand them the bowl, and they cook it for you.  I got my ooof back (chicken, snow pea pods, baby corncobs, warer chestnuts, I MISS that), and the kid managed to get both mushrooms and shrimp in there.

Fortunately, I had chopsticks, caught the mushrooms (and I can pick them out and be okay, the tiny traces I can cope with), but that's two things that are common to find people with issues about.

Next day, they had a sign up saying that if you have allergies, ask, and they'll use a pan on the big grill.
