Food and Textures

Post Reply New Topic

The worst food-texture to me by far is eggs. There can be food that I find really tasty that makes me feel sick because of the eggy texture. My boyfriend's put a bunch of work into trying to find a way that I'll eat eggs. (Well scrambled, lots of cheese, capsasin, then I can sometimes eat it in a wrap)

When I eat I tend to eat a little bit of one food, then a little bit off another, and so on specifically so i do not have more than one bite of each other food after the last bite of one food. I actually don't understand why I do this, but running out of a type of food tends to bother me for absolutely no reason.

I absolutely can't stand untoasted bread...its by far the worst for me lol. Funny enough I usually like toasted bread ok, its just when the bread is really soft that I can't bring myself to eat it.

I can't eat baked beans, I'd really love to, I think they look really nice but I just can't have them in my mouth let alone swallow them. I'm not to bad with anything else though but eating was really difficult when I was younger.

I hate mashed vegetables. You can't chew them, you just swallow. What's the point in a food that you just swallow, other than it's nutritional value (and unmashed food has this too). I like to savour the taste of my meals too so mashing is destroying any chance I might have of enjoying it. When we have haggis (which is usually served with mashed potatoes and mashed swede), I have a veggie haggis (the only meat I eat is fish) with whole potatoes and sliced swede.

I don't like artificial cream either, for a similar reason.

I've had food texture issues my entire life. I don't accept any invitation to eat over at someone's house unless I know exactly what they're having and how it will be prepared. I found it's possible to take a food that I like and prepare it in a way that I can't eat it. I learned long ago that you never say that you can't eat a food because of the way it feels in your mouth. That elicits looks and comments as though you suddenly turned into an alien from Jupiter. It's better to lie and say you don't like that particular food item.

I can't stand most fruits and vegetables in their raw form. Anything slimey or that bursts like grapes makes me gag immediately. I have no problem with tastes, I had my mouth washed out plenty as a child , for me processed food and anything with a consistent texture is better.

I really dislike touching and eating food that are really juicy. It goes through me
