i can't remember which thread it was, but there was a complaint about picky eaters...

and one of the guys i went to san francisco is an extremely picky eater. all he eats is cheeseburgers and sometimes pizza. that's it! he also NEVER drinks at all, but gets annoyed if he's out with people who don't drink because he can't loosen up either. awesome designated driver and concert companion. he's also enormously and drily humorous.

but all he eats is cheeseburgers. he's just so damned amiable about it. he attends a party and everyone knows to make him a cheeseburger. he'll watch everyone get drunk, have loads of fun and possibly drive drunk people home.

 

I like picky eaters, especially the ones who eat parasites off of me, i.e. white corpuscles.

 

i have two small children always picking at me. i can't be certain, but i don't THINK they're eating what they pick off...

 

As picky as my kids are, I get along with them well.

 

my younger daughter just figured out how to eat peanut butter cheese crackers without eating the cheese. my dog loves her.

 

That's funny. I've always been amused by peoples take on the loyalty quotient of dogs. My take is that their devotion to their own olfactory pallet is equal only to their devotion to the gravity god that puts consumables within their reach.

 

Hello,

Isn't the cheese the best part?

There is the story that one of the engineers who built the DG Nova computer in the late sixties ran only on mortadella (IIRC) sandwiches. So one can be a picky eater and even though become an important (and maybe great) and inventive person.

Gyro, having pizza next

 

Hello, you must be eating something that pleases you.

 

Hello,

exactly. It's easy for me, because I don't tend to become obese. But that means that I eat very unhealthy, because I don't see any shorttime effects. Perhaps I'll take the gyro after the pizza .

heh. it's true. though my dog was very sad and pathetic while i was gone and extremely excited when i came home. i'm also the one who gives him the trimmings and skin off any meat we cook and i give him the stale ends of bread that he adores. so yeah, i think that definitely has something to do with it.

 

I know someone who only eats cheeseburgers and doesn't drink

Rather unimaginably, people started calling him cheeseburger, and now that's his name.

 

he must be 300lbs if all he eats is cheeseburgers. his poor heart

 

thats a hefty assumption

 

My bf hates cheese burgers. I call him a communist and tell him to get out of my country.
He even hates my meatloaf. And it's amazing.
He is one of two picky eaters I know. The other guy I'm working on. It's just annoying when I'm so into trying every weird thing I can think of and cooking ethnic foods and things that are more interesting than just hot dogs and macaroni and cheese and they're just sitting there wrinkling their nose going "I'm not eating that. I don't care how much work you put into it. I don't care that it tastes amazing. It's weird."
Fuck, that's annoying.

 

Good morning,

yepp, they are out there. Hundreds, no millions, noooo myriads of them. I'm a burger communist, too . Beware, sometime in the near future we will unite and then the world as we know it changes drastically. No cheese burgers shall be grilled anymore.

Wat de Buur nich kennt, dat frett he nich.

:willy_nilly:

I just broke the free translator trying to find out what this meant...

 

Nah. He's hyper fit guy. Cyclist, hiker, etc. But he had ulcerative colitis and had his colon removed. Since then he only eats a couple different things.

 

Hello,

oh, I'm sorry for the translator . The free translation is 'a farmer only eats things that he knows', roughly meaning that one is comfortable in a known environment only and everything new brings uneasiness and therefore is declined. I'm sure you have a similar proverb (maybe the same?).

My biggest complaint abut picky eaters is when parents tell me that ther kid will only eat chicken nuggets*.

I want to punch them for continuing to give the kid chicken nuggets*.


*example crap food

 

oh yeah, man. though my daughter is on a cereal kick right now. i don't fight it much, but i don't keep a lotta crap food in the house mostly for my own sake. but dave does love buying corn dogs and burritos. drives me crazy.
