Foods picky eaters tend to avoid such as condiments

Sade Yinger

You're probably used to everyone giving you a hard time for being "too picky". But let's be honest, we like what we like and we stick to it! Every time I try and venture outside my comfort zone I end up regretting it and disliking my food choice. Whether it's the smell, texture, or tase...if something is off, I won't eat it. All pickers unite and stick to the safest option out there: chicken tenders and fries.

Here are 25 foods that you probably hate if you're a picky eater.

1. Mushrooms

Something about the rubbery texture PLUS the fact that it's a fungus? No thank you.

2. Pickles

I am not a fan of any vinegary foods, too sour.

3. Peppers

Red, green, yellow; no matter the color, the flavor remains unpleasant to my taste buds.

4. Tomatoes

I'll take a BLT please, minus the T. Squishy, watery tomatoes ruin every dish in my opinion.

5. Spinach

Spinach tastes like a dirty leaf that someone plucked from the ground.

6. Seafood

Fish, crabs, shrimp and shells in a pile of seafood

The smell itself is enough to turn anyone away from eating it.

7. Coconut

The texture of coconut ruins any dessert, who wants a stringy piece of coconut stuck between their teeth?

8. Mustard

Mustard just has a funky taste to it that nothing can mask.

9. Olives

Olives have a certain bitterness to them that I can't get past.

10. Avocados

Despite the craze for avocados, I find them to be too bland.

11. Cottage cheese

Spoiled, rotten milk? Doesn't sound too appealing to me.

12. Brussels sprouts

Again, unless these suckers are masked with tons of butter they are not tasty at all.

13. Celery

A stringy, watery vegetable with relatively no flavor. Why even bother?

14. Cream cheese

Cream cheese is too rich and slightly sour for my liking.

15. Anything spicy

How am I supposed to enjoy a dish if my mouth is burning the whole time?

16. Sushi

Certain sushi rolls are either too bland, too fishy, or too raw for my liking.

17. Blueberries

The skin on these berries turn me away, as well as the sour taste.

18. Toast that's too "toasty"

My toast goes in the toaster for a short amount of time to avoid the smell and taste of it being burnt.

19. Peas

The little mush balls smell and look almost as bad as they taste.

20. Coleslaw

It's basically a soupy salad, the whole concept is a little weird to me.

21. Grits

So mushy and flavorless, I don't know how people can enjoy them.

22. Raisins

Source

I think we all ignore them in trail mix. Why do they even bother?

23. Refried beans

Again, just way too mushy and flavorless. The appearance alone makes me want to throw it straight in the trash.

24. Anything sour

My taste buds can't handle the bitterness and acidic flavors of anything sour.

25. Black licorice

Candy is supposed to be sweet, but black licorice just has a certain flavor that makes it unappealing.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.
