mini psa to anyone who needs it: if they didn't want people to order that meal, they wouldn't put it on the menu.

"but I always order the same thing every time!" is it on the menu? then they're making the same thing every day anyway, whether it's for you or someone else.

"but it's a 'childish' food like chicken tenders!" is it on the menu? can an adult order it? then clearly they expect adults to order it.

"but people might judge me for my meal choice!" it would be absurd and unreasonable to get upset when the restaurant is literally telling you, "these are the things we are capable of making and will give you in exchange for money" and you do exactly that.

I tried this yesterday. I opened it up (yes, it was cold and I shook it before opening). It looked good, and it smelled good.

But the taste? Oh my God. It tasted like someone took your chocolate milk and poured half a bottle of cold medicine in it.

Autism thing i hate that it’s considered rude to not like a food and not want to eat it. And i hate that i have to be all apologetic about it instead of people just understanding that foods just aren’t for everyone and a person not wanting to eat something isn’t an insult to anyone’s cooking

[arfid-is-hecc]

what are you supposed to do on the days that absolutely no food sounds appetizing but youre sitting there hungry and getting a headache but everything does not sound appealing

[arfid-is-hecc]

No bc as an autistic person it always enrages me when people claim you cant possibly know if you would like a food or not if you havent chewed it in your mouth yet. Like does food not have a sight smell or texture to yall or??????

I think the brand of chicken nuggets we get was just ruined for me

I was having some chicken nuggets with a nice little garlic parmesan sauce I made, when I notice something long and white sticking out of the nugget I'd just took a bite from. I thought it would be a hard piece of chicken or something, so I pull it out.

No. Not chicken. Not bone. A small, white feather probably the length of my pinky finger. A chicken's feather was in the meat.

And now I feel sick 🤢

Shoutout to everyone who…

Relies on ‘junk food’ to eat

Is not able to or does not have the spoons to cook regularly

Whose relationship with food was damaged by their parents

Struggles to eat fresh fruit and veg

Has a limited diet due to sensory issues

Is made fun of for their restricted diet

[arfid-is-hecc]

I wonder if a good next step to trying veggies and/or fruit would be to try them freeze dried, where they're crunchy instead of soft with surprise snaps every now and then 🤔

I like 2 new things!!!!

We went to a Steakhouse for a late Valentines family dinner. Family got Parmesan crusted Spinach dip as an appetizer. It smelled sooooo good, and I just couldn't resist trying it. And it was really good!!! The spinach pieces were pretty small, so I couldn't feel them.

I also tried ribs! My dad got a rack of them and gave me one to try, and I cleaned off the bone!!! I had to eat it with a fork and shred it up to eat it but that doesn't matter too much 💜

Two for two!!!

I had cooked a pizza for dinner last night, though I wasn't really hungry and only ended up eating one slice, then both my parents had one slice each

I was planning on eating the rest for lunch today, but when I woke up from my nap my mom told me she ate the rest of my pizza because she has the munchies

😮‍💨 Can't have shit in Detroit I guess

On another note, we had McDonald's last night because we had almost no food in the house. My dad usually doesn't order accommodations/adjustments to "make it easier", meaning I usually have to scrape off those tiny, gross ass onions.

I take a bite after my scraping and inspecting, and feel a crunch. I take a swig of my drink and swallow, thinking I might have missed one. Take another bite, it happens again...

I pull it apart, inspect, can't see anything. THEN, I had the idea to take apart the two patties that were on my burger...

LO AND BEHOLD. Some sick son of a bitch (/j) decided to put onions IN BETWEEN the patties. So they were on the top, on the bottom, AND in between, where all the cheese was melted.

Trust issues, mate. Smh

Forgot to make an update post after my trip, so here it is!

On the trip, I tried:

Hollandaise

Jambalaya

Udon

Miso Soup

Chicken Curry

Potato Curry

The Jambalaya, the Chicken Curry, and the Miso Soup was alright! Not something I'd order, but something I'd eat if given!

The rest was... not great lmao. The Udon would have been better if it didn't have goddamn bell peppers in it 😭 (if something is cooked with bell peppers, then that is ALL I can taste, and I hate the taste of bell peppers).

[arfid-is-hecc]

I'm going to get to try Udon in a couple weeks!! Nervous but also excited ^^

I ATE A HOT DOG

It was a bit hard to eat; it was pretty thick and had a strong flavor, but I was able to eat most of it!!

[arfid-is-hecc]

I HAVE DECIDED

I will try a hot dog when we go to that hot dog specialized place this weekend! (I talked about it in a previous post but deleted it because I got a reply criticizing me I think and my social anxiety made me freak out I'm sorry! ^^; )

As per what I had said in the post I deleted; we're going to a place that specializes in hot dogs for my older brother's birthday. Problem is, hot dogs are Not a safe food and the only safe options are sides and the kid's menu (which is embarrassing as hell).

So, I figured if I get a hot dog that has a lot of stuff I'll eat, I can take little bites and the texture won't be too bad... I hope

Which me luck 😭

[arfid-is-hecc]

Okay, I looked at the menu, think I'm gonna try the wings

I've tried the burger (can't remember why I didn't like it but I remember I didn't like it), and I tried the nachos (it was served with steak bits. Like cheesesteak)

Here's hoping that won't be too bad 🤞

Family decided we're going to Chili's this weekend for my parent's anniversary. Thing is there is nothing I've gotten from there that I've actually liked.

But I'm going to be a good girl and not say anything because it's not about me. But I'm still angry and I'd rather just stay home.
