[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 477483, member: 11791"] HaoZi... you're [I]worse[/I] than me! Sensitivities rule out a couple major food categories (like milk), but beyond that... veggies if raw, fruit within reason (not really looking to try star-fruit) and especially if in season, plain meat (spices but no sauces, and not mixed with other stuff), starch (esp. bread, plain/buttered pasta and rice). The MD told my Mom that my tastes in eating, while "nique", certainly didn't preclude a very balanced diet! (which of course shot her whole argument that by being a fussy eater, I wasn't going to get a healthy diet, which is why she took me to the doctor about it!!) The trouble with eating at other people's houses is... the stuff I like isn't what gets served to company. Instead, you get... sauces, mixtures (soup, salad with dressing, chicken cordon bleu, etc.), cooked veggies... sigh. I'd eat better as a hunter-gatherer than I do as a guest! And no, I can't take a can of spaghetti-os... 'cause its a mixture. I've told everybody that, now that I'm and adult, I don't come for the food, I come for the social interaction. If all I get is bread and butter, and a good cup of tea... but we have a good time together... its worth it. I can always eat later (unlike a young difficult child). [/QUOTE]
