Thank goodness I'm not the only adult who's a picky eater. People seem to think that only kids are picky.

I have been picky my entire life. Even now, I don't eat at most family events because they only cook southern foods and I don't eat southern food. I also bring the same thing for lunch every day to work (turkey and cheese sandwich with pepperonis and an apple), and a few people have made comments about it. Like some other people I saw on this guest book, whenever someone wants to go to a restaurant I have never been to before, I have to look at the menu to see if there is anything I can eat or else I can't go to that restaurant. An ex-boyfriend from college used to think I was vegetarian because I would only eat fries or rice during dinner.

In the past seven years, I have been slowly trying new foods. I also have been reviewing the menus of restaurants I have been to in case what I usually eat is no longer on the menu (or in one case, the name of the item was changed). I still won't eat anything that looks slimy and I don't like anything that has an overpowering taste (no chocolate for me).
