Thank you friend, from an autistic person with food issues.
Additional thanks from a fella whose brain reacts to weird textures in my food by gagging or vomiting. It's so embarrassing, especially around friends.
Hey, someone else with the same issue as me!
Yeah it sucks. So I end up getting a lot of the same things over and over again because I know what the texture will be.
'Hurr durr you're so picky' - or maybe I just don't like gagging and vomiting and can't control that reaction genius.
I have two or three foods that cause that reaction. I've just said that I'm allergic. Saves a lot of explanation.
In a way, you are.
I used to have that with zucchinis for whatever reason, so I definitely understand where you're coming from. First time eating quiche years ago was hell, nowadays I love it
Bananas for me.
Tbf, the only time I ever found cooked zucchini acceptable was in homemade bread.
What about cucumbers? I got a love-hate relationship with those
