When I was a little kid, yes, I was very picky. There are tastes and textures that I super duper do not like.

Many of those type of foods, I learned to block just so I can eat them. This was after we experienced the 1997 Asian financial crisis and the 2000 dotCom crash. I had to learn to eat whatever is available.

There are still foods, fruits to be exact, that I still avoid and can't get myself to eat. An example is orange, and anything that looks like an orange fruit.

I highly prefer #umami, sweet, and salty tastes. Spicy are fine, but I'm on the lower end of the spicy range, higher than that, I can't and won't.

I'm fine with mixing food, but only to a certain degree and depends on how it was made (the balance of tastes for example). I'll step back eating strawberry + chocolate. But, if it's an ice shake, I'm fine with that mix.

Fish. I am very picky. I don't like most fish because of the taste and texture. My trick is to have a soy sauce or mayonnaise, and lots of rice, just so I won't taste it and won't feel the texture.

Now, that's me pre-gout and pre-kosher days. I now follo #Kosher food, and since I also have #gout, my food choices are further limited.

Regardless, if there is one thing constant, I tend to pick: chicken, ramen/ramyeon, #pancitCanton (Filipino noodles), mayonnaise (I avoid ketchup as much as possible), #pandesal or rice. If there is chicken #adobo and tinolang manok (Filipino chicken soup), I'll pick those.

What's important also is, umami taste. I avoid at all cost any food without #MSG. Food without MSG not only tastes bland, it tastes dead. There is no umami taste in those “MSG free” food.
