Anybody here dislike eating food that a stranger cooked?

Post Reply New Topic

I have a friend who does not like food that a stranger touched due to OCD. I just have a problem eating out because of the decision -making, the noise in a new place, food tasing different than i think it might and having things in it i don't know about that affect me badly. I feel better if I can see the food or someone else tastes it and it is ok for them although that bit doesn't always work.

Eating what other people have cooked doesn't really bother me-
unless they have not washed their hands or they have cockroaches in their kitchen. Then that would gross me out.

Oh boy did that bring back a memory I would love to forget.

I worked in this one fast-food place in my teens...looking at it now, this is probably still the main reason I don't eat out.

Not at all. I love eating fast food.

I know someone who is NT that has that problem (worries that people spit in or do something to the food). I think it's not that uncommon a phobia.
