Since I am very selective of what I eat I rarely ever eat food that I have a bad feeling about. Like I seem to have trouble eating foods with horrible smells because I always assume that it will be nasty, but there are a few exceptions with foods that have bad smell. The grossest food I think I have ever eaten was peas when I was in kindergarten. I say this was grossest food because it actually made me throw up and since a kid I just hated the smell, so when I was forced to eat I ended up throwing it up. Now till this day I still refuse to eat them and probably will never eat them again because I kind of feel scarred. So even though peas might not even taste that bad, I just have always disliked the smell and since it caused me to throw up it’s a big no no .
In certain cultures its okay to eat animal pets like cats and dogs, like in Asia there is nothing wrong with it, but in America it is seen to be gross and a big don’t! I am normally not the judgmental type but I do find eating either a dog or cat a little disgusting. Also eating raw foods in my culture is considered a don’t and me personally prefer my meats cooked, but it’s not also the case in other cultures. For me it’s not only with meats but I hate eating any foods that is cold or not cooked, unless it not meant to be heated. But in other cultures people do it, but I honestly say I am a very picky eater. I also live with two roommates who are Mexican and Asian so I seem to learn a lot bout both their cultures. Like they eat certain things I would never eat but there are also things in there culture that are extremely good, so it is a good thing that I am more open now with different cultures now compared to my younger years

  1. I believe that the smell of food is the number one thing that turns people away. Before I eat any food I unconsciously smell the food, and if it smells nasty, I typically would not eat it. But then there are some foods that do not smell as good but once you start eating it you find out that it is not as bad as the smell. So be careful about some smells.
