There are tastes and textures that I super duper do not like.<br><br>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.<br><br>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.<br><br>I highly prefer </span><a href="https://calckey.social/tags/umami" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#umami</a><span>, 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.<br><br>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.<br><br>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.<br><br>Now, that's me pre-gout and pre-kosher days. I now follo </span><a href="https://calckey.social/tags/Kosher" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Kosher</a><span> food, and since I also have </span><a href="https://calckey.social/tags/gout" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#gout</a><span>, my food choices are further limited.<br><br>Regardless, if there is one thing constant, I tend to pick: chicken, ramen/ramyeon, </span><a href="https://calckey.social/tags/pancitCanton" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#pancitCanton</a><span> (Filipino noodles), mayonnaise (I avoid ketchup as much as possible), </span><a href="https://calckey.social/tags/pandesal" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#pandesal</a><span> or rice. If there is chicken </span><a href="https://calckey.social/tags/adobo" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#adobo</a><span> and tinolang manok (Filipino chicken soup), I'll pick those.<br><br>What's important also is, umami taste. I avoid at all cost any food without </span><a href="https://calckey.social/tags/MSG" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#MSG</a><span>. Food without MSG not only tastes bland, it tastes dead. There is no umami taste in those “MSG free” food.</span></p>
