i'm the worst at cooking.. last time i tried to make something SIMPLE and my whole kitchen, floor included was a gross mess after it, the onions burned, and i even almost always forget to turn whatever im cooking it on off. just a disaster.. could ask my mom to make different foods when i'm there, but then i'd feel quilty that she prepared something if i couldnt really even eat it
but one day, when i have actual kitchen supplies and a dishwasher, maybe then i will start trying new foods lmao..or if i get loads of money from somewhere and can go to restaurants to try

Also the preparation can matter, like I hate raw broccoli still, if the texture is just right I love it
Also have you tried pairing a favorite food with a fear food? I remember being so terrified of cream cheese cuz it looked gross... and then I orded it with a coffee I liked on my favorite bagel and it accidentally became a new fav... to be 11 and try cream cheese 4 the first time haha

oohh.. i'm glad you got out of that. for me its more that i literally cant eat many foods, or ingredients, will make me gag or throw up, just is not enjoyable. and with many i have actually tried to eat them more, i heard a saying that trying a food 30 times will make you like it, but seems like it is a myth, at least for me
Cooking really helps you gain control, it makes trying new shit less scary, it's on your own terms Anachronism wrote:
I realized my diet was about control
I remember going on a kayaking trip at ten w/ my friends and I bit into some sandwich to not look weird (i was very secretive about my habits) and it tasted good, but it was on my forbidden list, so I threw it away when no one was looking
I did finally relent and enjoy corn dogs that trip and began eating them after that
I guess finally... I got sick of like, constantly hiding my food weirdness, so idk, I starting cooking my own food, mixing "forbidden" food w/ my favorites (pasta and cheese) until I just realized trying new things isnt always terrifying. And controlling food is more scary
