I'm a very picky eater with all kinds of hangups about food.

@SW-User I used to be pretty mean about picky eaters until I learned about how much of an anxiety issue it is for people. I go out of my way to be accommodating now. I don't wanna be that asshole.

@CountScrofula I have dangerous allergies to fish and nuts, and I went through a lot of misery as a child before they figured out what was happening. After that I was intensely afraid of trying new things. I can't eat anything with unknown ingredients. It's hard to hide fish, but walnuts lurk in every delicious chocolate waiting to kill me.
I also find a lot of food very disturbing to eat, much of it counterintuitive like peaches and gourds. It makes it a gruelling exercise to finish them. It's something to do with the texture that provokes a horror reaction in me, and I have no idea why.
On the other hand, I love Brussels sprouts and broccoli and other food kids traditionally hate.
