I have been a selective eater all my life. I have learned to cope and places not to go cause of the food they serve. Only a few family members know of my issue. Only one makes a big deal of it just as a butt hole kid tirelessly dogged me in school. Very painful memories! Wanted that dirt bag to be hit by a bus for being so hateful! This is long before bullying was a thing. My relative I just tell her to shut up, if she continues i raise my voice and ask her if she has hearing problems. Basically I shout her down. The smell of some food makes me sick, second is the texture. I still detest going out and having ppl pushing food my way I know I do not eat, saying oh this is so good! And my ALL Time Fav...."you don't know what your missing ", I want to slap the dog $$$$ out of the next person that says that to my face! I have a rule: If it's not on my plate it's not my biz! And with the rise of the "foodies" running around , God help me not to slap anyone.
