Does anybody NOT have a food they can't stand?!

AuTriker

So many of us seem to have some very strong opinions on foods we find not just inedible but unutterably vile. So I was wondering if there are any autistic people here who are happy to eat any food or maybe only have a mild dislike to a few things but would eat them if they were hungry or to be polite?

  • I think in some countries there can be a somewhat puritanical stance on food. You are not supposed to enjoy it, as sensual pleasures were frowned upon. There was just meant to be some kind of Victorian gratitude that there was anything to eat at all. 

    In WW2 and beyond with rationing, the government also published pamphlets on how to cook using minimal and sometimes gross ingredients. 

    A holiday with a French family made me realise how delicious food can be made to be. Even as something as sime as new potatoes was rendered something really special.. And mashed potatoes cooked properly are delicious too....honest!
