I'm a very picky eater?!
I hate 90% of "normal food", and have refused to eat sea food all my life!. I guess it was just a "phase" when I was younger, but apparently it has stayed with me (I'm 20 now lol) Is there anything that is good for picky eaters!? I have heard fish is actually really good for you, but I don't know if I'll like it, nor do I know how to cook it!. Any tips on healthy food (including fish) for people who barely like anything!? Thanks in advance!Www@FoodAQ@Com
Answers:
white fish is very good and mild in flavor!. if you are going to explore different types of proteins I think that's a good place to start!. Typically you see white fish in most fish n chips or fish sticks!. I think it's better to start off with a fresh piece of fish, just because the frozen then fried variety just doesn't do the fish justice!. Shellfish, specifically lobster and crab, have a sweeter meat, and are less fishy tasting!. Shrimp seem to taste like the waters they came from, which isn't bad, but it is different & if you've never had seafood!.!.!.!.
I can't really suggest anything else outside the seafood cuisine, because i don't know what type of picky you are!. Texture!? Temperature!? Consistency!? My husband is a picky eater, and he prefers food that can be made in the microwave most of the time, with lots of Tapatio sauce on it!. All i can say is don't close your mind to trying new things!. You would be surprised how much you really like, considering what you think you don't like now!. Keep in mind that as you get older, your taste in food will change, much like your taste in clothing, movies, the opposite (or same!.!.!.i don't judge) sex, and so on!. The next time you go out for dinner, get something you would never get, and see where that takes you!.!.!.!.
Good luck!Www@FoodAQ@Com

Instructions
Wash and dry romaine lettuce; tear into pieces and place in a salad bowl!.
Brush bread evenly on both sides with the olive oil and grill on both sides until golden brown!. Remove the crusts and cut into croutons!.
For the dressing, mix all the ingredients together in a bowl!.
Add half of the croutons and half of the bacon pieces to the salad!. Drizzle with dressing and toss gently to mix!. Scatter remaining croutons and bacon pieces on top and sprinkle with the parmesan cheese!. Serve immediately!.

I used to be a picky eater!.!.!. when I was growing up, I was never exposed to a variety of foods!. Mom was a good cook for the basics, like Fried Chicken, Pork Chops, Pot Roast, 'n veggies; it was predictable!. We never ate out!. I remember!.!.!. after I'd left home and I got sick!. I was put on a resticted diet and for the first time in my life, I had to eat foods I'd never eaten!. I gagged when I had to eat a raw cabbage slaw! (Mom always 'cooked' cabbage)!. Well, I lived thru it and regained my health!. When I married, my husband often took me out to eat at fine restaurants and I was introduced to different foods again!. And that's how I over came my picky eating habits!. Eventually, I attended Culinary Arts School; graduated!. Again I was introduced to different foods I'd never eaten!. So, by now, you can imagine, I love to try new and different ways to prepare food!. Enjoy my meals now, so much more!.
Be brave 'n try different dishes, hon!. Attend "Tasting Teas" etc!. that are for the purpose of raising money for charities!. Pay a minimum fee at the door and the place is full of all kinds of foods you never tasted!. Often, they will have recipe cards beside the food!. Find a group of good cooks that have Covered Dish Suppers 'n sample all the food!. Eat out at good restaurants and occasionally try something different!. You will discover and enjoy new foods!.
Don't like eggplant, but give me fried eggplant sticks 'n I like that!. My brother took me to a 5 star rest!. 'n they had an unusual Salmon dish on an appetizer buffet!. It's eaten on crackers; until then, I never liked salmon!. Until recently, my favorite way of cooking green beans was seasoning them with bacon, but now I find I like them roasted!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
