NL really goated for his take here. My S/O "doesn't like" a fuckton of things and I end up going "okay, well I'm going to have it anyway because I want it" and she ends up trying it, liking it and being like "I don't know why I thought I didn't like that".
I had to do this with my partner too. I said “Are you really going to live life and die without trying all of these beautiful foods?” Her allergies made her fearful, but we’ve made a ton of progress
Childhood issues probably (not necessarily serious ones) My family wasnt great cooks, and eating with them was stressful because they would make fun of me "playfully" So since I didnt want to eat X or Y for taste or texture, they would make something plain for me, or for my dads stomach issues So for along time it was just plain, extremely tasteless food, with people I hated to be around who would force me to dinner regardless of hunger, desire, or anything Eventually as an adult I started trying more stuff because friends would offer or want it, so I try it because of them, and my tastes broadened a lot I still am pretty picky, but much less so (example, I really dislike sea insects, crab/lobster/shrimp) despite their taste being ok... but for how expensive it is, to how it tastes, to how it feels to eat, bad ratio of enjoyment to cost.
I was a pickey eater, and then I went to a stay away Boy Scout summer camp. It was either "eat this new food" or "starve" lmao, I had no choice and that was the turning point in my picky eater behavior.
NL is a saint for trying to convince these people to come out of their box, I would be done after they pushed back one time. Some of these people make it like casting your pearls before swine
omg, i didnt know NL used to/still walks on his toes. i did it too as a kid and teen because i have shortened tendons, but got physical therapy as well as special soles for my shoes to fix it and let me walk comfortably on my whole foot. kinda nice knowing he also had that quirk.
"Every place has a kids menu" This one got me for whatever reason, like I realize this person is probably a teenager or young adult and has only recently had agency with what restaurants they go to, but like no dude, a lot of fine dining restaurants do not actually have a kids menu. There's a really nice restaurant where I live that doesn't even HAVE a menu, they post what they're going to serve, you prepurchase your meal, and they serve you what they want to serve you, and you know what, it's always a fucking banger, even if I start out skeptical of the pickled beets or whatever. Restaurants that you'll actually remember years later will likely not have a kids menu
As a latino, my brain can't even process how someone can hate beans, rice and other basic stuff. It's not something weird like raw fish, or an weird organ
@@viniciuspedrosa2405 Might be due to more poisonous things like mushrooms growing where they ancestrally lived, so being a picky eater was more advantageous and became more prevalent.
I love to eat real food. But I'm too lazy and have no energy to make any real food. Perpetuating the cycle of eating crap food that's easy to make and having no energy to go on.
I was a picky eater before I went to college, because I would try food once as a child and decide I did not like it. But it was my first year at college and I realized, I had peas one time and I didn't like them, but I have no memory of what they taste like. I still don't like peas but onion is ok.
Ive been a moderate picky eater for my whole life. Recently Ive been trying new foods on occasion but it sucks that I dont enjoy any of the things I try. It makes me even more hesitant to keep trying new things because fool me once shame on you, fool me x times, shame on me.
Or maybe people have legitimate issues that prevent them from enjoying new foods and this kind of (slightly abelist) rant makes shit infinitely worse rather than addressing any core issues?
I can try new foods unless they're ones I grew up refusing to try. My guess is that I've been effectively traumatized by them lol. My body has conditioned me to view them as inedible. But if it's a food I've never seen before then I'm able to try it just fine. For reference, I'm able to try mold and insects without any trouble, but I can't even TRY mushrooms or beef. I've accepted that this is just how I am. I have a lot of issues with textures anyways, so even if my brain wasn't forcibly disabling me from enjoying foods I grew up with I probably genuinely still wouldn't enjoy most of them. Now that I am able to try new foods though, I have a new problem. I've developed a phobia of trying new foods. I feel like my throat is closing up and I'm dying every time I try them. It sucks.
I saw this without ever having known you as a person: who the hell wants your respect? You have told me in one RU-vid comment that your respect is worth as much as sand.
My picky eater brain is logistical. What I mean by that is that if it looks and smells gross and the texture or consistency looks like something I don't like from previous experiences, my brain tells me I won't like it without ever having tried it. Don't you think that if most of the information you get before tasting it is negative, the taste will be negative? I'll still try new things, though, but it depends. What I'm trying to say is that, as an adult, I can almost always, without fail, tell what I'm going to like and what I won't like due to previous experiences. I'm sure I can eat it and swallow it even if I don't like it, but why force myself to do something I don't like? I'm never scared of the food I might not like (I used to be as a kid, though), but I am a picky eater, sadly. I think I am like this because I like consistency and happiness, meaning I want to be happy eating something I already know I like instead of wasting my time and potentially my money trying something new. If I'm bored with everything I eat, then I'll gladly expand my culinary palette or whatever, but for now, I'm good with the things I eat.
The only thing Im a picky eater with is Mashed Potatoes, Ill eat baked potatoes, fried potatoes, potato pancakes, Potato Skins, Fried Potatoes pretty much every form of Potatoes but I will not entertain the idea of Mashed Potatoes.,
I got this cousin in her 30s who’s a notoriously picky eater and every time the family eats together without fail she goes “eewwww is that a mushroom? A tomato?? Did you seriously just order the calamari??? 🫢🤢” and goes on to make disgusted faces and heaves at the mere sight or mention of an ingredient she doesn’t like. And steers the conversation to 15 minutes of her being a picky eater since childhood. Every god damn time. Her diet consists entirely of chips, candy, pasta and bread
@@youreallyaresomething306the way you went from “he ain’t saying grow the fuck up” to “well yeah actually he did literally say that, but you deserve it” is truly a masterclass in moving the goalposts. Bravo.

6:55 I can go to costco and get 4 17 oz frozen pizzas for 13.99$ Each pizza is enough for me and my partner. So it's 8 meals. Frozen pizza is struggle food where I live lol
I was a very picky eater as a kid. Almost everything my parents made me try i found disgusting so I internalized at some point that anything new would taste bad too. Turns out my parents are just bad at cooking and i actually enjoyed a lot of things when cooked by someone other than my parents lol.
I feel this. Especially having been force-fed “healthy” foods as a kid (hand shoved down my throat). That stuff led to me throwing up in class when I tried to eat an apple in kindergarten and my brain said yeah no more fruit or veggies. It’s been a struggle as an adult trying to push past that stuff.
I also feel this as someone who grew up as a picky eater with a mother who never seasoned anything and a dad that burnt everything. Now as an adult, I'm finally learning to cook the right way and to explore my culinary palate.
@@Chelaximmaybe, or maybe not. Trauma from parents forcing something down your throat is the prime factor here. Whether they were abusive or they had real reasons is beyond you: you were a clueless child back then!
I remember one time as a teenager I saw something new at a restaurant and said "Huh, I've never had that before, I've got to try that!". My entire family looked at my like I was a doppelganger, because they thought I was a picky eater. Turns out, I never really was a picky eater, my family just happened to serve the 3 food ingredients I hated most ALL THE TIME.
I'm starting to feel the same way. I am willing to try some foods, but everyone around me (the people, not the restaurants) seem to want to cook things the weirdest way possible like it's an Olympic sport. Not everything has to be a homogeneous mass of flavor. Sometimes it helps to do a regular main with a side. Just the classic roast beef and vegetable broth and lots of potatoes. If I'm sick, please no creamy noodle soup from a can. Brew some tea and throw some noodles in a soy broth. What I like isnt really hard, just different.
@@saintsalieri I remember the first time I ate broccoli. I still don't understand why everyone always said it was the most awful food ever, it's truly goated.
@@xeffary7390 it's a Jerma bit, he had a race with other streamer and chat could add or subtract 2 minutes by voting on their jokes. So +2 usually means "good take" P.s. not a race, but a coop challenge to beat Kane and Lynch 2 in limited time
"I don't think it's based to just eat mac & cheese and chicken nuggets as a 31 year old man. The dream is not to never grow up (I think). The dream is to maintain the positives of youth, while also acknowledging that there are positive things about getting older." - Northernlion
I watched this rant when it came out, and it's what inspired me to try a new restaurant every week. It's genuinely improved my life both in a culinary context, but also socially since it get to try new things with friends. Highly recommended
My ex wouldn't even touch some asparagus that was part of a meal my dad made because he "doesn't like vegetables". I'm pretty sure he had never even eaten asparagus before. Maybe it was petty, but I wanted to break up with him in that moment just because it was disrespectful to not even try something my dad was kind enough to cook for him, especially since my dad is a good cook and he enjoyed the rest of the meal. Like what harm would it do to just try it?
My dad was a bizarre kind of picky eater because he wouldn't let *me* try foods that he doesn't like or that he thinks he wouldn't like. I think he was terrified at the possibility that I might not be a clone of him. He justified it as "well I don't like rhubarb and you have my genes so you won't like it either."
If you ended up liking rhubarb he'd have to cook or at least witness it. It's the opposite problem of parents with picky kids, where they have to eat chicken nuggets because their kid won't take anything else. Instead your father was afraid of your discontent with only chicken nuggies if you started craving rhubarb
who is this guy?? just drove him in my uber and once I said that I recognize him from this clip he pulled out a 9mm beretta and threatened to NLSS(?) curse me if I told anyone that I saw him... then he asked if I think my wife likes sushi more than I do for some reason (had to say yes because I was scared), also when he was getting off I heard him complaining about "electrical infetterence" or something (is that a thing?)... is he that "Germa" criminal people have been talking about?
Ong this rant had me dying. My GF of over a year has this obsession with chicken nuggets, and whenever I consider doing take out or picking up food she always wants Burger King chicken nuggets as if we didn’t have 300 of them in the freezer. Meanwhile I’m out here trying to learn how to cook and bake my own bread just to heat frozen nuggets every day
Texture hate is often associated with autism. I learned very late that i am likely on the spectrum and i am a picky eater. But i discovered that its just the vegetable texture. If it is liquefied, fried, or prepared well, i learned that i usually like it. But a fried and boiled vegetable is just inedible to me... I feel the date talk tho. Taking a girl out and not eating anything on the menu horrifies me, and my eating problems get worse because i stress out while eating and it gets worse...
yeah im on the spectrum and i was VERY picky as a kid. As an adult I eat a lot more foods and like to try new things. That being said there are certain things I just won’t like bc of texture or smell. I can tell pretty easily what foods to avoid and I have literally never once in my life enjoyed a food that I didn’t want to try. Any time Ive felt forced or pressured to eat something its been a terrible experience. So yeah I think people that only eat chicken nuggets are a bit annoying bc theres a lot of great food out there. but also that doesn’t mean you should judge somebody for not specifically eating eggplant Parmesan or oysters or something. A lot of people experience wayyyyyy too much pressure to do something they already know they won’t like just to satisfy their peers’ weird ego trips about food.
Listen, just because a person is a picky eater doesn't mean that they're on the spectrum. Having said that being a picky eater is probably over represented on the spectrum. A larger slice of a smaller slice, if you will.
I was a picky eater until fairly recently. It was definitely more of an anxiety thing than a flavor thing for me. It was real bad though, I would literally gag and dry heave whenever I felt an unknown texture in my mouth. My dad told me that the same thing happened to him and I'd just grow out of it eventually. I didn't believe him, but then I hit 21 years old and I started forcing myself to go to different restaurants and stuff and the anxiety started going away.
I'm in this boat, except I can't make myself eat it. I'd give anything to lose the fear and be able to go to a nice restaurant. I wanna try so many cool foods, but I can't. Birria tacos look incredible, but I couldn't touch one.
Start smaller, don't get a whole ass dish with entirely new things. Add something to your sandwich or pizza order, try a new side with dinner. And always give it 2 try's first time its gonna be weird 2nd time you'll know what to expect and it wont be nearly as bad. Also recognize that its a process not a switch you can flip, as long as you are taking steps, no matter how small, you should take pride
My stance on taste changed forever when I saw a professional chef talking about how they were "learning to enjoy" a certain flavor more. I've always been open to trying anything, but after that I tried additionally to enjoy everything even when the first hit was strange. I've come around to so many new flavors this way, but I still can't stomach olives
I'm not confident that we're talking about the same sort of learning to enjoy, something like this happened to me a few years ago. Now, for the longest time I really didn't like seaweed flavour, but I was really hungry and the only thing that could be made quick was the instant noodle cup way in the back of the pantry that was really strong on the seaweed flavour, but I was hungry. So I made it, and realised it was strong on the seaweed flavour but, again, I was hungry, so I told myself over and over "nah man, you actually really love the taste of seaweed" and eventually I finished eating it. And you know what? Ever since then, I've genuinely enjoyed the flavour of seaweed. I basically gaslight myself into liking it, and I'm proud of that.
I HAAATED olives growing up, they were impossible to eat. Olives on a pizza totally ruined the whole damn pizza. Later, because I'm stubborn & kept trying, I attempted to eat a garlic stuffed collossal olive. It was delicious. Turns out most olives taste disgusting because of the brine stuff they're pickled in lol. If you ever wanna try olives again I recommend garlic stuffed collossals!
@@WretchedRedoranI did this with math in college. Turns out you can just decide the type of person you are/will become if you have the willpower and motivation. I thought the only way to get through my degree was to make myself like math so I did. I consciously decided to become someone that likes math and it became true. I even used all my elective credits taking extra math classes. I didn’t get particularly good grades in math and I struggled a lot, but I really enjoyed it and I still enjoy it.
Olive brine is putrid, but I’m sure it’s not the olives that’re doing it for us. Like I know an olive straight off the branch is awfully bitter but id think they could be prepped for consumption/preserved in something other than the typical olive brine concoction. I can’t think of any other flavor I don’t at least appreciate. I like bitter flavors, rosemary and hops in beer, but olive brine isn’t bitter it just tastes like a combination of medicine, rotting and sickly sweet
tbh hes right about eatin like shit and having a heart attack in you 30s. if eat better you feel mentally and emotionally better. one week of not eating ramen and frozen food is cool, but you will feel the effects of the shitty food. same shit goes for soda
When I was a kid my mom told me that they put hormones on chicken nuggets and if I ate too much I'd grow boobs and look like a girl. I then wanted to eat nuggies so bad I ended up getting addicted to them
Tytyty for including the chat replay There are so many bits I want to see the chat reactions to when I'm watching RU-vid VODs, but it's such a pain to track down the right Twitch broadcast
Was a picky eater into early adulthood and getting psychic damage from him saying my name as his hypothetical picky eater invited to dinner. I've changed, but it still embarrasses me to think about the situations I would find myself in at 20 with the palate of a 7-year-old getting invited to dinner at a Thai restaurant or whatever.
Adding progressively larger pieces of the item I'm trying to acclimate myself to has worked. Going from not liking onion to putting minced onion into things, to diced onions, and now I can enjoy cubed, julienned, chunked onions. Works for pretty much anything unless there's a true distaste
Gotta feel you there, and my favorite streamer going on a rant about how people like us just need to "grow up" isn't exactly helping my mental health lmao
A lot of people don't realize picky eating is usually a result of sensory issues, and that even once those issues resolve (if they ever do,) you're oftentimes effectively traumatized from all the times people tried to force foods on you. Forcing only works if it's yourself doing it. Other people doing it usually makes the picky eating even worse because it forms a negative association.
the last few years I've grown my palate a lot but I still deal with issues regarding eating disorder. I'm fine with trying new food in circumstances I'm comfortable with, but I have never quite understood the immense anxiety I get from being asked to try food on the spot. Really would prefer not being as picky because its genuinely embarassing as an adult to have so much food related trauma lol
i used to be an incredibly picky eater. I was the type that wouldn’t try food and think i wouldn’t like it. if i didn’t have a girlfriend that made me try new foods i would still only eat chicken tenders and pizza lol. all i gotta say is: TRY FOOD!!! smell and look doesn’t necessarily determine what it tastes like
Very true, for example I remember when my ma cooked liver and it smelled amazing and made me salivate but I was absolutely disgusted by the taste (irony being that I love liver paste which is just spiced mashed cooked liver lol), or almost throwing up from the smell of cooking beef even though it's delicious af. Gotta say that over eager or strict parents trying to fix pickiness of children will most likely traumatise them and do the opposite of what they want. I hated the taste and texture of tomatoes as a kid and even though it's been years now and I've come around to them through Italian cuisine, I immediately start gagging on my food if the texture or taste is slightly weird in an unexpected way (for example a crunchy bit in something soft).
@@crazydragy4233 I feel you on the texture and taste disconnect. I actually like and want to eat salads but something about them makes me unable to eat too much at once without gagging. It's the main reason I'm scared to try certain foods that I dont know the makeup of because I get scared of that reaction. It makes trying things not fun whatsoever and stressful.
@@Kimmie6772 Honestly it's always best to start small. Maybe not mix up a bunch of things but just nibble on each ingredient you haven't tried before to see what they feel/taste like. Heck maybe you could incorporate salad stuff into soups, they can be blended for uniformity, or sandwiches? to not miss out on the flavours if texture is the problem. Smoothies are also a good way to get leafy things in that are not fun to eat (greens often get stuck in the worst places of my mouth lol)
I was a picky eater and still am to an extent because of sensory issues with autism. But over the last 5-6 years I've really expanded and now love trying new things even if I sometimes don't like em
Listen bro i wish i wasnt a picky eater lmao id love to just consume whatever and be able to easily enjoy it do you kbow how much easier that makes things. I envy you normal people
you literally can heres a step by step guide: pick up food put it in your mouth if you don't like it don't eat it anymore, if you do, then eat it more repeat it's not like a switch in your brain that disallows you to try new foods. This is speaking as a man who lived solely off of peanut butter sandwiches for like 4 months. The only thing stopping you from finding new foods that you like is that you're too afraid of two seconds of discomfort when you try a food you DONT like
@@Kekkle- it's not discomfort. I try new foods but most foods that I should eat but don't like cause visceral nauseous reactions in me and if I force myself to eat them I vomit
@@zareethanthegamer again, that's normal. What do you think other people feel like when they eat something they dislike? Being a picky eater is avoiding trying new foods. nobody expects you to happily eat shit you dont like lmfao, if you don't like it, stop eating it
@@Kekkle- I mean when I say picky eater I more meant a very limited selection of foods. I'm always willing to try something I haven't eaten before but most foods, particularly the healthy foods I should eat/want to eat I cannot stand
I never watched this rant, but months ago I decided as well that it was time to try new things. I always claimed I hated Sushi but never truly tried it outside of... one bite of that *one* fish I didn't like, so I decided to toughen up and give something new a go. Turned out, I really enjoy Sushi Rolls, not all of them, but some. I *still* hate Indian food because it's torture for people who can't handle spices though.
i used to get physically ill at the smell of curry in my teen years, but then at like 22 it's like a flip switched and now I am a curry fiend. the body is such a strange thing
My philosophy is that I’ll try anything for 1 bite and make no promises after that. (This is ofc excluding when someone has been kind enough to cook for you, that shit could taste like charcoal and I am still cleaning the plate)
The alternative is you can make it yourself without adding all the spices. Works wonders if you don't have the tolerance and it really helps ur cooking skills.
I'm picky likey due to my autism, but even so a lot of the bad textures were poor cooking by the parents. Some still dont sit well, like mushrooms, but trying new shit and cooking for myself helped me find food i actually enjoy.
My grandma has sensory issues opposite to mine; I’m on the spectrum and likely got it from her. Turns out I thought I hated squash because she only likes it overcooked and I only like it undercooked.
This is the real gigachad take. The ideal situation is the one where you're able to enjoy as much of the world as possible. Alas, we are only human, so we can't be equally down for everything all the time - but we can try our best. Every little thing we find ways to enjoy makes the world a little brighter. 🙂
@@thorneto2742 nah fuck salads, theyre ok at best. salads rely completely on the quality of their ingredients compared to shit like soup where you can just fix if something goes wrong
@@chocopieaddict9792lettuce is a waste of space food with almost no nutritional value and tastes like eating leaves straight off a tree. Salads are just a bad way to enjoy vegetables
Your taste buds change with time. I remember two moments from my childhood that viscerally cemented to me that I was a picky eater - throwing up in front of my family on Thanksgiving at age 6 the first time I tried apple pie (and a time at 8 I threw up on the side of the road because some apple slices were slightly too warm) and throwing up at age 12 at 2 am in a McDonald's parking lot after a fishing trip because the McDonald's cook had forgotten to not put the onions on my burger. I used that as an excuse to not try new things and especially to avoid cooked apples and onions forever. Now, at 28, I actually kinda like onions, I just realize that fast food onions are disgusting period. One of my favorite sandwiches, the Z-Man from Joe's KC, has onion rings on it. Cooked apples are still whack though, even though red delicious apples are my favorite food period.
Derek (can I call you Derek?) you have bamboozled me. I never, EVER thought I hear (or I guess see) the phrase 'red delicious apples are my favourite'. I must commend you on single-handedly supporting the market of the unapologetically, objective worst apples known to humankind. I salute your sacrifice.
@@EviIPaladin If you say some garbage tier apple like Honeycrisp, you're in the dog house. Red delicious have a mellow and understated taste, tons of refreshing juice, a crisp almost airy structure, and a hard skin that gives a good texture differential from the innards. Love them for the same reason I love plain Rice Chex. I like something more simple where I can really key into the textures of the food. It helps ground me and appreciate what I'm eating rather than just eating to eat.
I can see the idea behind the "I can't try new things because Im poor" because even if it is cheaper to cook for yourself actually, the first step is to actually learn how to cook things, and if you're already a picky eater there would be a lot of food waste if you dont know how to cook. But our school system considers foods classes to be electives, so.
Cooking stuff from scratch also takes significantly more time and effort than making something frozen, and people living in a budget are much less likely to have the time/energy to do that. I recommend folding idea's video on Jamie Oliver, he explains this in that much better than I could. Its also just a good video.
There was a massive political push from leftists to take Home Ec classes out of schools. That's why you don't learn how to do taxes or cook or be an adult in school.
It is a long term investment that you have to make at a certain point, and you want to do it sooner rather than later. If by 30 all you can cook is eggs, what you have learned to cook instead is your wallet and your physical health
I mean I kinda feel bad for people who will only eat a handful of foods, but other than that I literally do not care what others eat at all. 😂 Solid rant though, the ass eating arc was 11/10.
If you can eat tendies, you can eat chicken fillet. If you can eat chicken fillet, you can eat chicken thighs. If you can eat chicken thighs, you can eat Poulet sauté à la Bercy, if you can eat that you can eat Pork Fillet with Pepper cream sauce, and if you can eat that you can eat Onglet aux Echalottes.
Booze is more in the mind altering category than the food category though. “I don’t want to try this thing that will impair my brain” is different than “I think this food might be yucky”
You’re literally me, alcohol tastes like liquid Sharpie marker or the carpet freshener juice you put into some vacuum cleaners to make your floor smell nicer. I’ve tasted both.
Well if we're talking chicken nuggets and macaroni specifically, it's not illegal or immoral but it is very unhealthy and probably damaging to your social life; it's not *just* cringe.
The picky eaters I can forgive are on the spectrum because bad textures literally hurt. I used to be stupidly picky as a kid though. It all started to change when I tried beef when I was 14. Now, I have a more diverse palate than almost anyone in my family.
Autistic person here! I wouldn’t describe it as pain, but you’re sort of in the ballpark- it’s more in the realm of nausea (but felt in the mouth and not the stomach or throat) for me. There are ways to overcome it though and I think it’s a disservice to not try the thing just because you think the textures are going to suck.
i used to hate mushrooms and pick them out of my food until i realized theyre very ignorable as long as theres enough other foodstuff to go with them. essentially my desire to eat costco combo pizza outweighed my mushroom hatred
also something i dont understand is how steak is so damn popular like its the epitome of food or something. shit gets stuck in my teeth so easily and tastes too metallic i really mostly prefer beef if its thinly sliced or ground and not too greasy
Okay cool, I was worried NL was crap about this but he is ranting about people who make their minds up beforehand. I have ARFID and I hate this shit. My options are limited a comical amount. I get sick of eating the same rotation of shit but it’s so bad that spending money on food that is very likely to be revolting to me isn’t feasible, I just don’t make enough to do that regularly. My tastes change for the worse, food I once adored is repulsive and things I hated as a kid are just as foul to me today no matter how hard I try. I want to be able to eat just everything. Limited options is non-sense, I think I resent the people who make their minds up before they even touch the food.
@@freezingdart If you have trouble living with ARFID, it can be treated with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. Or it could be related to gastrointestinal issues. You could gain a lot of insight if you get a Diagnosis
I learned I wasn't a picky eater; school food just makes everything into slop, thus painting a negative and lasting first impression. I always try out things EXCEPT when I am hungry and I do not want to take a risk like that rn
@@alfonshedstrom9859 One time I accidentally took the vegetarian meat at school and it was so bad I almost puked. I wonder how universal being culinarily traumatized by school is.
