Eat It or Wear It: The Broccoli Yuck Factor

Photo credit: C. Bertelsen I am sure everyone who ever lived could name one food they dreaded seeing when they sat down at the family dinner table. Where I grew up, we had to eat everything on our plates. Mom did not cater to anyone’s fussiness when it came to eating. And Dad enforced that, oh yes, he did. My most abhorred food – heading the list even before liver in any shape, form, or way – was…

Eat It or Wear It: The Broccoli Yuck Factor

There should be a food that doesn't make me nauseated to think about or when I'm part way through eating it and it should have a light fresh flavour and smell and not upset my stomach after eating it and not get boring to eat and have the perfect texture and never go bad and be nice and chilled and small sized and no prep work. That's what I need.

Idk if it's medical or medication that causes the nausea at least once per day

I mean the menthol cough drop did help but it also made me cough even more while eating it and feel like I was gonna throw up so maybe it’s not worth it

I can't be the only person that doesn't like ranch or other kinds of dressing on their salad, right?

I don't know. As an autistic person, it might just be that these flavors are too strong and kinda ruin the taste of the fruits, veggies, and croutons.

Let's talk about the sensory clowntown that is certain foods being ok sometimes and other times being a godless crucible of taste and texture. I'll start: yogurt

spicy is a Bad Taste for me... it's horrible, even in the smallest amount! "NO SPICY" is a big rule for me with food because it hits me WAY harder than allistics, I guess. There've been a lot of meals where I take a bite and I'm just. Oh god no this is SPICY, when it was actually so mild no one else even noticed! I've been cursed,, why am I so overly-sensitive to this,, and why do so many restaurants make dishes spicy,, truly a tragedy

MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!

You know what’s a spice? SALT.

If a dish is “mild” but it’s very salty, it will make the spiciness that much WORSE.

So a really, really good way to avoid spiciness in restaurants or other unfamiliar places is to say “I’m on a low-sodium diet, what here is not spicy and also has very low salt?”

This will save you from sooooooo many “fake” not-spicy dishes.

Because I agree with you ONE HUNDRED PERCENT, if something even smells spicy or looks spicy, I am NOT eating that, I don’t care if an allistic tells me “it’s not spicy” YES IT IS, HONEY MUSTARD IS TOO SPICY FOR ME AND I AM NOT. EATING. THAT.

Also, if you DO eat spicy by mistake, DRINK. MILK.

Water doesn’t get the spice out.  MILK DOES.  MILK WILL SAVE YOU.

Drink milk.  Or an ice cream shake, whatever’s handy XD.  Dairy gets rid of the spicy WAAAY better than water.
