You Don't Mess with the Cobbler

One of the worst experiences a picky eater can have, other than being asked to go to dinner at a restaurant, is getting invited over to someone’s house to have dinner. Gosh, all these food invites need to STAHP.

It’s one thing to be picky and to be very particular of what to order at a restaurant, but it is a completely different story when someone is cooking you a meal. It can be really insulting when one doesn’t eat the meal given and I feel like I always run into this issue. There have been several circumstances in my lifetime that I have had to choke down some food somewhere without literally being ill. Sometimes it can be a good experience to try new things, but 9 times out of 10 I would rather die.

I remember this one time that I went to a friend’s house and they invited me to stay for dinner. Give or take my friends all know about my picky eating habits and obviously just enjoy watching me suffer (they think it’s hilarious). The meal sounded pretty simple, the basic meat, potatoes, and dessert to end the meal. I was like I guess this will work. So we sit down and start eating. The meal was wonderful… the dessert is where things started to turn south.

So here I am getting super excited about dessert because like who doesn’t love dessert. So here it is, peach cobbler, fresh out the oven. YUMMY. I get up to go grab my bowl of peach cobbler and that’s when it hit me. THEY PUT ICE CREAM ALL OVER MY PEACH COBBLER. THIS IS LITERALLY A HEART BREAKER. Literally could feel the anxiety building up and depression set in. my friend bust out laughing but this was not a laughing matter.


Moral of the story:

If you’re going to invite people over, they might be picky… let them make their own plate.

The Sandwich Life

Image
Through my picky eating experiences, trying new foods has been a rather difficult time for me. (See blog Keep Calm and Don’t Eat the Food). But being a picky eater does have its downfalls. Since I have a particular set of foods that I eat, there isn’t much of a variety. As a result, eating the same foods all the time does get rather boring. So, slowly but surely, I have been attempting to branch out and try some new foods. The typical Kerstyn would only eat a burger with just cheese and ketchup or a sandwich with just lunch meat and bread. But, with that being said, here are some new sandwiches that I have enjoyed within the last year that everyone picky or not should try: Triple Bacon Burger Over the summer, my grandma was in town and we decided to go to Applebee’s. Well, one look at the menu and instant anxiety because I had no idea what on earth I was going to eat… that is when I saw it…the triple bacon burger. Bacon is one of my favorite foods so why not eat a burger...

10 Things NOT to Say to a Picky Eater

Image
Don’t mind me being a Negative Nancy over here but there are some things that seem to amaze me that people ask. Here is another adventure from the life of a picky eater. These are just some of the silly questions I get as told by New Girl. 1. "You’re just being difficult" Correction, I am not being difficult as you don’t see me trying to stuff things in your face that you aren’t a fan of. It’s no different than one not liking the way clothing items look or going to certain places. It just so happens I like certain food, end of story. 2. "How can you eat *insert food here* if you don’t like your food touching?" This is the most frequent question I receive. When I say I don’t like my food touching, I mean I don’t want my potatoes touching my steak or my ranch touching my wing sauce. So when you ask STUPID questions like how do you eat a cheeseburger because its touching, it makes me want to slap you. 3. "It all goes to ...

The Pizza Spreadsheet

Image
Being a picky eater was a hot topic during my summer internship at Caterpillar this past summer. My group was very interactive and we went out for weekly lunches as a group for “team bonding.” Side note: I promise you, you will never regret this in the workplace… always have team bonding over food! So, with this being said, here is a little background: it was always difficult to go out to eat because like, I’m me, and my food groups consist of salad, nuggets, and pizza. One day, my boss made a comment about what pizza places I like. The basic girl I am responds with “Dominos, Pizza Hut, Papa Johns, etc.” because like he won’t know what La Roma’s is (his loss) . The judgment I got from this is where it all started… a pizza spreadsheet was born and everyone made recommendations on pizza places in the area. We then took a team vote and ranked the pizza places as such. Not only did we try a new pizza place every week, we ranked them based on taste and quality food. T...
