Anyone else hate grilled fish with bones in it?
(lemmy.world)
I ordered a grilled mackeral and found it had bones in it once I started eating it. It honestly ruined my desire to eat it.
The culinary culture in my place doesn't demand fish to be deboned. Hence, we eat fish with the head intact and eat the head as well. So, I don't have a hatred for fish bones; it's part of the culinary experience.
Edit: grammar
For many, it's the texture simply existing, regardless of culture. You're mostly just describing what I'd expect a neurotypical approach to be.
Once I had no choice but to eat whatever I could get my hands on other than chicken and pasta, hunger will override everything. Now I went from extremely picky to not picky at all. I'm ready for the apocalypse. I can eat my neighbors if need be.
There's a bit of difference between an autistic person who can't eat something because of the texture and being a picky eater. It may not be a wide chasm, but they are definitely different.
Fish bone could be annoying, but I don’t hate them that much that I will stop eating the fish if I found a single fish bone. That’s just wasting food for me.
What? A fish bone stuck in my throat? I’ll proceed with eating a spoon of rice and swallow it without chewing it first. A common tips that parent pass it to their children in my place.
I'm guessing that if you have autism, it doesn't affect your issues with textures in food.
I just realized that this post was posted under autism Lemmy account. My previous responses wasn’t about anything related to autism. Just perspective from people with different culture.
