I'm vegetarian (closer to vegan I suppose as I don't eat cheese or eggs either but take milk in tea.) However, I'll eat any fruit, veg or grain and don't mind it spiced or curried etc or if it's separate, together etc. So I suppose I could be classed as fussy with ingredients but not with how the meals are prepared.
They need to grow up. It pees me off too. Especially if I have gone to the trouble of cooking.
Easily solved. Just ask them if they like what you're going to cook before you toddle of to the shops to purchase the ingredients. It's what I do, and I haven't had a problem with 'fussy eaters' once. Well, except vegetarians. Those people are in a league of their bloody own when it comes to fussy eaters.

Just enquire what people can eat before cooking, it's quite easy really even with all the problem eaters for various reasons in my family we all manage to feed each other without too much fuss - we like to forget the year ancient aunt poured gravy over my vegetarian nut roast
I have a friend like that although fortunately it doesn't affect her with things that are cooked together, like a stew, curry etc, but if she's having a meal with separate items the potato has to be away from the veg, the meat etc.
sounds a bit like me, but i have got better as i have gotten older. I eat my food in a certain order depending on the meal.
i still eat my spaghetti and my bolognese separate.
It wasn't obvious to the person who mentioned seeing people on Come Dine With Me though, eh.
Personally I agree, fussy eaters [ie those who just don't like anything rather than those on specified diets] shouldn't really be allowed on CDWM. I think part of that should be being prepared to try new foods and other peoples cooking with an open mind.

Well..... maybe it did impact that FM. Or perhaps they were another person to whom the obvious wasn't obvious.
Anyway, I'm sure your right... it's better to come on the thread to cast aspersions on others opinion rather than
a) saying what you have to say on topic or,
b) not bothering as it doesn't interest you.
I'm quite a fussy eater. I was incredibly picky as a child, but compared to then I'm quite adventurous. I went through a phase of avoiding white food and I was in my 20s before I realised I liked mayo, salad cream and coleslaw.
As an adult there's not that many things I won't eat, but still have a thing about things with no texture: egg whites, soup, mash etc. I'm more troubled these days with processed or poor quality food or things aren't cooked how I like them.
I struggle with deserts too, cause I don't like cream, jam or custard.
If someone invites me over to eat I always get a little nervous that they will serve something I don't like but realistically it hasn't been that much of a problem.

Oh I hate sitting in a draught.
I'd like to drop someone like you in the middle of Ethiopia to see how picky you remained with fewer options available.
It's not so much a case of fuss, but there's food out there that I welcome, and there's food that I don't - goes for smells, environment, hygiene, and quality.
I've lived and I'm younger than in appearance and feeling, so what's the issue?
Not summat I gloat about, but c'mon, I pay McDonald's nearly £5 for them to serve me cold rubbish?
It aint on is it?
And, Why do I want do go to Starbucks or Cafe Nero?
I only like my own home made cuppa, I don't drink Coffee and I don't like any other bullshit that's on their menu, so what am I doing there exactly?
Latte; what's that all about?
I don't particularly like the culture of people paying x amounts and sitting there for minutes on their Iphones and not engaging in conversation with actual humans.
That's not that world I desire, and I make no apology for it.

Sounds like a Jerry Seinfeld routine.
Not much fun if you have IBS, I find.

Deary me.
They're the same people who always complain that they're in a draught.
I don't see why it's such a big drama.
I very rarely eat out as I like to know exactly what I am eating.
I would say that's more likely to be the people who moan about petty things like fussy eaters.
Now that I can understand, mash is something you don't like for a reason.
It's the people who recoil at the site of something because it's not something they've been eating since they were 5 I can't be doing with.

meh.
I'd definitely eat an Ethiopian before I starved to death. Not much meat on the bones mind.
