picky palate probs


the problems that plague individuals with overly sensitive or particular taste buds


realizing you've tried exactly three things on the menu at Zupa's because you're too afraid to branch out

driving to another grocery store because the one you're in doesn't have the right brand of hummus

enduring the endless teasing and mocking about the foods you "should" like but don't

the panic that accompanies dinner invitations—what if they serve something you don't like???

being told you're "closed minded to food"

choking down despised foods to be polite when eating at somebody else's home

not trying local foods when traveling because it sounded scary or weird and then regretting that choice after you've left

the look of pure, unadulterated horror one someone's face when they discover you don't like milk

the disappointment that accompanies a thorough scouring of the post-Easter 50% off candy section at the grocery store only to find every variety of jelly beans known to man except Starburst jelly beans.

the moment you realize that your mother can predict with 86% accuracy what you will order at a restaurant regardless of whether or not you've ever been there
