My puppy forces the toy onto my feet or lap or hands until finally I wrestle it from him and throw it. He will not allow me to ignore his request.

You are definitely wrong. La BBQ was one of the best meals of my life and then they ended up getting a Michelin star. There are other Austin places like Moreno's that are also amazing. Any time I visit I go straight to BBQ places.

Yeah I have a way to get my weixin pay funded so I can Didi everywhere and I have an international roaming plan. Without weixin China is extremely troublesome, and other parts of Asia are similar.

If you want to eat foreign food in China you to have to go somewhere run by foreigners that will take the trouble to source ingredients are are extremely uncommon in China.

I'm a super taster and adore spicy food but I can't eat a lot of common things like onions, or drink tea, coffee, beer, or wine. Seltzers(because I can taste bitter 2 flavor profile) are also off limits and anything fermented tastes like rotting.

So while in some aspects I could be considered a picky eater, I've also traveled the world pretty extensively and have eaten street food in several developing nations

Really every super taster i know drinks diet,soda like it's going out of style. And cooking an onion works for people that are not super tasters but ones that are still usually overwhelmed from the small sample size I've met over the years.

Were you a smoker at any point perhaps?

Yeah I don't love it sounds like a super power when all it does is make you not like popular stuff for the most part. There is however one upside which is when I eat something truly good my soul leaves my body and I fall through space and time. I call it a taste journey. Have to be vigilant to not get super fat haha.

Opposite of me in almost every way lol def not a super taster

Canned sliced button mushrooms are pretty easy to eat.

I mostly eat the fun kind of mushrooms which are very unpleasant to get down but worth the health benefits.

I know the cilantro example is famous, but as a super taster and having other people with the gene onions are very divisive. For me, anything more than a hint is overpoweringly disgusting and the idea of actually biting into one directly fills me with dread.

Onion powder and garlic powder are both very preferable to the actual substance taste wise.

If you know someone in your life that really likes diet soda and other artificially sweetened things and even prefers it to the regular, they just might be a super taster.

If you know someone that finds wine, beer, tea and coffee horrifically bitter to the point that they can't even understand how you enjoy it. They may also be a super taster.

If you know someone that complains Seltzer's like white claw and lacroix are absurdly bitter and completely disgusting. That is likely because they can taste a profile called bitter two, which is prevalent in these things because they are a super taster.

I know nobody will read this and learn to quit bitching at people about what they like, but I figured I'd at least try.

Now that I'm done being reasonable:

Why don't you stop pussyfooting around with weak bitch shit like onions and actually use some real fucking spices from India and Mexico? Onions are for mayo loving losers afraid of burning their tender tongues, miss me with that shit.

That's the exact same gene that also causes onions to be way overpowered and make them not like them. Source: have that gene

I don't know why people think that it so narrowly impacts just the way that cilantro tastes. It actually has a broad impact across many different flavors. There's a good chance that most of the adult picky eaters you've ever met are just people that carry this gene.

The real ego here is assuming you're going to be able to tell...
