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

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 used to be a very fussy eater, eating next to nothing but chips and junk food, but now i can eat almost anything...

    its funny that my fussy eating also got cured around the time after i took up martial arts and tried to better myself, plan and think on my life and future. part of it was for the training part of it was for preparation to be able to eat anything for my assumed state of future homelessness, but i motivated myself to find a way to force myself to eat all types of food and normalise my body to it...eventually foods that you didnt like the texture or taste of your body grows accustomed to and even in some cases craves.... i didnt like pizza but then i craved pizza after i forced myself to eat it... used to be that all the cheese on it combined with other stuff would at first provoke a gag reflex, but the trick with pizza for me was to first eat it when drunk, and only a slice at first, then eventually i guess the nutrients in all the meat and stuff on it your body recognises as stuff that i perhaps need but didnt get much from anywhere else so it then sent craving messages as your body does when it identifies certain things it needs but is lacking and recognises where it can get it from when it detects it.

    anyway i can eat almost anything now. 

    edit: anything aside from some horrible thing i tasted one time.... it was either branstons or marmite... it was some brown ugly looking thing that may have been a sauce or i dunno, some horrible slop.... but it was super tangy and horrible, like a super sour joke sweet..  that is the one thing id dread to ever taste again, the one thing i had to wash my mouth out to try get rid of the taste but it was so strong it still could be tasted pretty bad no matter how much i washed my mouth out.

  • and at worst now the things i dont like i can still eat.... but they are bland and boring... like my mums casserole she used to make that was full of onion and some sort of barley grain thing.... very bland. could eat it but the blandness was torture and it was a chore to eat. i guess i have fixed my body to be survival mode where it can eat anything, or i fixed my mind to it... tbh alot of stuff i have done recently all seems like a fixing of my mind, set my life on track like id never have done before. perhaps whatever asd or whatever i could have has weakened or gotten better, even rolling myself back 2 years i was in a hopeless position and set in that for a long term. crazy how you can turn things around and look back and then realise how bad it was for you before, and how i was quite clearly suffering from some mental health disorder and yet no one cared or realised and just passed it off as being lazy... anyways im drifting off topic as i usually do lol perhaps writing and spamming out all my head babble probably is part of the cure too, feels good to write, maybe thats just making up for lack of ability to articulate and vent it socially. or perhaps its some delusional psychosis type manic phase seeing as last time i mega vented and pretty much started writing a novel it was at the back end of a really stressful months long fight with my boss and going through complaints procedures of which writing and babbling seemed to get rid f some demoralisation and set me back onto normality and motivation somehow.... ah i said id stop this babbling half a paragraph back didnt i lol
