I used to be a picky eater, then as an adult i realized its not the ingredients themselves but a mix of all kinds of sensory input.
There are a lot of tastes that are nice in small amounts but i cant have em full on.
Onions went from hated to favorite after i learned this.
If you have foods you never liked, give em a chance in a completely different format and amount
I’ve had to tell a few restaurants that I’m allergic to cucumbers just so they’ll stop putting pickles on everything. They’ve got those nasty ass vinegar sticks on frickin pizza now!
