My wife has this particular habit. Say she really wants something done. I'm deep in another project. She decides she's going to start whatever it is she wants done. She has no idea how to do it, so it gets partially completed and then she's unable to finish at a critical stage where shit's going to go really bad if her project doesn't get finished right away.

"Oh, you're starting a new home project honey? Great, I'll try really hard to finish mine so I can then finish yours."

Passive aggressive as fuck. It's killing me. We have a lot of house projects, that's what I get for buying this house. I'm working on them, but damn.

Man I love my wife. Only one part I needed for my AR15 build, the lower receiver, rest i have sitting lonely in a box in the corner of my bedroom. So today she went out to like 3 different gun stores and found one for me. Now I can finally build my evil Murican assault rifle of awesomeness.

Sounds like someone wants a baby inside them.

I feel a lot of guys think this is a joke or troll but I just don't like a lot of food. That's it.

Genuinely not criticizing here, cause who gives a fuck. But I think itd be interesting to explore what you mean by this.

Cause look, its not like zucchini tastes like bacon to me. Or cheddar cheese. Or grilled steak. It tastes completely different from many of the tastes we'd all agree are delicious. It doesnt even resemble them a little bit.

I'm actually eating some sauted zucchini and summer squash with my lunch, so its good timing. It has a little sweetness to it, but not fruity. It has some "planty" taste to it, a hint of flavors that make you think of green and leafy things. No bitterness at all. The whole thing is really subtle. Its not a strong flavor like cilantro or beets or blue cheese. I can kind of understand avoiding strong unfamiliar flavors.

But zucchini is so subtle. If I put too much salt and pepper I'd only taste the salt and pepper. How can you dislike this? Is the flavor of zucchini intense for a supertaster? If so, what does it taste like?

My theory is when people say they dont like a lot of food what they mean really is "if it doesnt taste like X I wont try it". I dont think its about the foods themselves, its some kind of aversion to the unknown.

When you go to a restaurant that you go to frequently -- do you order the same thing every time or make sure to order something different each time, to explore and have food adventures?

My problem with some squash-like foods is the texture. Just all mushy and shitty. It's why I avoid eggplant.

When I do zucchini, I barely cook it, so it's still firm and a little crunchy. I don't like it all mushed up, either. I don't really get eggplant. I'm not sure if I've never had it well-prepared, but I've never had it where I really liked it.

My dad loves to cook. My parents love food from all over the world. When traveling they look for the most hole in the wall places they can find in foreign countries.

I grew up with 'American' food being a meal 2-3 times a month and foreign cuisine being the main staple of what I ate.

I know what food tastes like/smells like. Most of it I cannot eat because of certain spice or sauce combinations. Many meats are completely unpalatable to me (lamb, goat, pheasant, elk). Lots of vegetables just lack any flavor at all or are too strong in some other flavor that is inedible (brussel sprouts, asparagus).

I generally eat extremely boring food because most "adventurous" (fuck you foody hipsters, I grew up with Indian, Thai, Afghani, etc) food actually is not enjoyable to eat. I also don't weigh 300lbs and drink Mt. Dew all day.

Someone earlier said it, it's a hyper sensitivity to a lot of tastes. With zucchini all I taste is plants, like I was eating a flower or grass. To me that tastes bad.
