Oysters, anchovies, clams - anything from the sea - I love it all but I can't be doing with gnocchi or dumplings - they taste like raw dough to me and I'm not fond of pesto either.

I love this thread.

I'm a bit of a fussy eater but with me it is all about texture. I don't eat salad because of the texture of it. Lettuce I can force myself to, but tomatoes and onions, blerugh. No way. Tomatoes especially - that softness, the juice. It actually makes me gag just thinking about it.

I would love a more varied palette, have even considered hypnotism. To see if it works. I guess it's all 'in the mind' but it is really hard to overcome so I do sympathise with those who will and won't eat certain things.

I have a friend who is even worse. They won't even eat sauces. Of ANY kind. Now I LOVE my sauces. BBQ, Ranch, Ketchup, mayo, all of them. But if we go out and he has a burger, he will have it plain. Nothing. No salad, no sauce, just the meat - in a bun.

Now THAT is odd.

I'm a fussy eater too, and it's the texture that gets me every time. I'm getting a little better, the crunch of lettuce and thinly sliced onions is bearable. I maintain that it's the 'unexpected crunch' which is the worst bit. I've recently started using tomato passata (seived tomatoes, no bits!) instead of canned chopped tomatoes and the difference is amazing. It's so much thicker, and no need to worry about squishy tomatoes lurking in my dinner.

On the burger thing, there's an amazing burger place that I go to, and what makes it perfection is the additional extras; the garlic mayo, the relish, the red onion and lettuce. Of course, no matter when we're in there'll be someone in earshot ordering 'burger, plain with nothing on it.' They're missing out!

Marmite! I love Marmite!

Liver and onions....Yum!

Im not a fussy eater and will eat most things although there are some things Id rather not eat but I do, such as broccoli. Im not a fan of the bobbly bits......but I eat it.

Decent (strong) cheddar. I may have the only kids in the world who won't eat cheese sandwiches at parties becuase they know the filling will be the bland crap people buy, and there used to Extra Mature (always a 5 on the cheeseiness scale).

Pasta. This may be a generational thing, but properly cooked (al dente) there is such a range of sauces, how can you not find one you like?

Pizza. A good pizza is a beautiful thing, and you control what's on top. Mmmm.

Bacon. Just bacon. Nice slices of back bacon, cooked but not too crispy.

Texture. Yup, even al dente, I just can't get on board with the stuff. And I'm 27.

Rice is pretty innocuous, isn't it? Pretty sure on the last Come Dine With Me I watched, one of the contestants said she didn't like it because it reminded her of maggots.
