What foods do you pick out of your meals?

I avoid pieces that look like garlic, peppers and ginger.

I hate olives and I dislike lots of chunks of garlic.

@gondwanalon @jca2 You can put all of that you don’t want on my plate.

@Blackwater_Park: Good, you can have it!

I like chocolate milk :)

Cucumbers in salads, they do bad things to my intestines.

I’m ok for pickles though.

Meat

Peas.

t used to be onions but I am no longer so fussy.

peppercorns. cloves. cardamom pods.

There are definitely things I don’t like…but I generally won’t order things with them in the first place. I hate scallops – but I don’t pick them out because they infect every food item they touch and make it all taste like rancid garbage. I dislike avocado and almonds, but I’ll just eat around them. If I get a burger where it’s easy to do so, I’ll remove onions….but if it would be messy to do so, I’ll just eat the onions. I don’t like them…but I don’t hate them.

Pickles. Except in tato salad.

Raisins. They are just so much filler.

Garlic.

Fresh tomatoes.

Cold cheese.

Any sort of smear on bread like mayo, cream cheese, and most dressings or sauces. if I can’t get new bread I eat the sandwich without the piece of bread that has the stuff on it.

Sweet pickles (I like dill and sour pickles).

Whipped cream.

Olives and radishes.

I will rake @Entropy’s scallops, I could eat them three or four times a week and not tire of them. And I will take onions and peppers from others and mix them with @Tropical_Willie’s cucumbers and have a delicious salad.

This question befuddles me why anyone over the age of 16 would ever need to pick things out of a meal. Grownups have autonomy to order and eat whatever they want. @Hawaii_Jake would never have to pick out meat because as a Vegetarian he would never be in a position where it was served to him.

@zenvelo: As an adult, yes, I do have autonomy to order and eat whatever I want, but sometimes when I order a salad in a restaurant, I don’t realize it has olives in it until it arrives at my table, or I may forget to specify “please hold the olives.”

Sometimes I am not ordering something in a restaurant, but eating something as a guest in someone’s home. In that case, they make it how they make it.

The main thing I will totally avoid eating is eggs cooked in any way other than as a component of a dish such as a cake. I just cannot eat them so if something is served with hard boiled eggs I would eat around them or pick them out. If fried eggs are on the plate, I could not eat from it.

Any kind of raw meat. (barf)

Mayo. You can’t just pick it out of stuff either. It is sooo nasty.

Cooked carrots.
Sweet potatoes of any/all types of preparations.
Pumpkin of any/all types of preparations.

I don’t like to eat orange-colored foods and don’t want them on my plate.

@SnipSnip Basically, anything orange.

Pretty much, yes. I do like orange sherbet, but not on my plate.

Usually green bell peppers.

@Blackwater_Park – Mayo is three ingredient glory. If it did something to you, I’m sorry, but you really need to give God’s Sauce a fair shake. They aren’t all created equal.

I have an aversion to big old bloated, cooked raisins. I’ve just dealt with too many ticks to not have a gross association.
