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?

    It's great to hear that you have been a vegetarian your whole life and have grown out of being picky with food. Being a vegetarian can definitely present some challenges when it comes to finding options in certain situations, but it's good to know that you have adapted and become more flexible.

    Being open to trying new foods can be a great way to expand your palate and discover new vegetarian options. It's also important to communicate your dietary preferences and needs to others, whether it's when dining out or at social gatherings, to ensure that there are suitable options available.
