#(I can't cook for energy reasons btw that's why they're in charge of food. still)

[pathsofoak]

I have discovered the reason I am the epitome of "I will not eat new foods ever" is because my parents make sure whenever they make a dish I've never had before, that there is something in there I can't stomach to "teach me to eat it"

I'm autistic lmao. It's been almost 19 years now, you're not gonna magically cure me from picky eater-ness by still forcing me stay at the table until I finish my plate of something that contains taugé, or whatever that's called in English.

Seriously I get it's annoying when you cook and someone doesn't like it but like. It's a) not your fault, and if you're the parent/caretaker of this person it's b) your responsibility to not make your kid dread eating anything other than bread and rice cakes because you keep pressuring them to eat "normal food"

#*ACTUALLY stomps foot for a tantrum* #potatoes. just give me potatoes #(I can't cook for energy reasons btw that's why they're in charge of food. still) #I would eat more if I didn't absolutely dread dinner time. much less eating a stranger's place #potatoes or some non crunchy veggies like broccoli. I like broccoli. especially when it's a bit roasted #tomato paprika and mushrooms are an absolute no #(unless it's tomato sauce and not too much of it) #and spinach but I'm allergic to that one so sometimes that one gets left out #I wish there was some tool that just KNOWS what I will and won't like without me having to #either contain myself in front of people because there's a few textures and tastes that make me want to puke #regardless of how good a cook someone is. so I always feel bad #or that situation where I sit at the table for an hour and quietly sneak my food into the green trash once everyone else gets bored #to eat a quick sandwich instead #I've actually accidentally trained the ability to tell when I'm full out of me #because (I still do this btw) I would always lie and say I was full to get out from under dinner #so now my stomach can't tell anymore. You put Macaroni (unless it's carbonara) in front of me? *full* #this became a bit of a rant lol #btw when I say *normal food* up in the post #by my parent's definition that's either italian or chinese food. even though. WE ARE NEITHER. like. don't call that #*normal food* in my face when I like literally every type of fucking stew you refuse to let me eat #sorry for the rant again lmao
