Video

Like video and good video and I do not like mushrooms 🍄 and I dont parsnip and I dont like cabbage 🥬 and I do not like spouse and I do not like mincemeat and I do not like sausages and kale 🥬 and I do not like blueberries 🫐 and black coloured and I do not like cauliflower and I do not like like nuts only salted if not salted nuts 🥜 and not like sushi 🍣

Like video and good video and I love grapes not purple 🤔😊

Like video and good video and have you ever tried pumpk pie!? And subscribe and I like olives l like it🤔

The little star holes on the bottom are from when they take the pips out. Olives have a rather large pip inside them. They are soaked in a salty water so that adds to the saltiness. You can also get black olives which generally come with the pip inside them and no other foods stuffed into it. But they taste similar, maybe a bit stronger so I wouldnt recommend you try them anytime soon haha

Could you try peaches or plums in the future?

That tingling sensation after eating a grape could be a mild allergic reaction potentially

A lot of health nuts will blend it into a smoothie. I don't think that will help the flavor but it will help to make it easier to consume more of it in less time.

It is a joyless flavour lol

I don't have ARFID and I am happy to try any food at least once. Cantaloupe isn't my favorite but its not bad. I think all your descriptions of it are pretty accurate for anyone. Some people love it, others find it below average. Its not terrible. I expected you to hate it but you took multiple bites. you treated it like most people would. Its not really an acquired taste like you would say for an olive or something, its just a cantaloupe. Not sure if you're getting more comfortable trying new things or if cantaloupes are really that average that you need to try multiple bites to make up your mind

There are beans in tomato sauce as well which aren't as sweet

I love beans and toast 😋

You might prefer plain navy beans or cannelloni beans or maybe even garbanzo beans. They are all somewhat bland on their own in my opinion. Definitely a good protein source if you can tolerate eating them.

Man the way you were holding that half of a kiwi and talking about it I thought you were gonna take a massive bite with the skin on haha. Glad you asked your partner before hand I was so worried. Glad you didnt eat the skin haha. Didn't expect you to like it as much as you did, nice vid :)

You did so good with that! Burgers are one I’ve always struggled with too. I’m also that person at the BBQ just eating a plain bun😁

As someone with ARFID, I have loved watching your videos you have put out! It is so nice to see someone who has similar aversions to me and how they go through dealing with trying new foods. I am very lucky to have a partner that takes my safe foods and textures and tries to make new foods to see if I might like them to. Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't, but we always discuss afterwards what I liked or disliked. That gives me a lot of security and I fully trust that they won't intentionally put anything in there that I am not aware of. I remember growing up and my parents not really understand my eating disorder and had the "Sit at the table until you finish your dinner" mentality, which absolutely made it hard for me to eat around people. One huge memory I have is my parents saying that "You'll never find a partner that will actually want to stay with you unless you eat right", which is probably one of the worst thing you can tell someone with ARFID. With more information out now about ARFID, they are a lot better now luckily. I am really proud of you for making this channel and for trying all these new foods. It gives me a lot of ideas of what I might be able to try in the future and it is incredibly encouraging!

I don't know where you got that burger but those "grill marks" look fake. Which is a common practice in many fast food/frozen patties. Its generally liquid smoke painted to look like grill marks. That patty looks terrible to me and I love cheese burgers. If you want to try a good cheese burger please try one that was cooked fresh. They will be meaty. it is beef after all. So if that is an issue maybe even a fresh one would be bad for you. But there is a big difference in fresh vs frozen beef patties. Would love to see you try this again with a more "gourmet" version of this

Would adding condiments like ketchup help?

This is such a great video for both people with ARFID and people that are with people who have ARFID! Definitely felt the ‘you haven’t had it cooked by me’ comment😂

Unsweetened vanilla almond milk, frozen blueberries, pinch of cinnamon, Are solid ingredients. I made a smoothie at the cottage once years back that had those, plus some protein powder and banana that I believe I recall you saying you enjoyed.

I agree with adding crushed ice, it makes a big difference. Also I know with protein powders, I can almost always taste them. You might like adding the Evive Pure or Yogi which will give some vegetable content.

Maybe try using crushed ice instead of water. Making it super cold might help with the taste as the cold will make your tongue less sensitive.

Can you name specific things about it that you don't enjoy? Appearance, Smell, Texture, Mouthfeel etc. are a bit vague here. A good example you gave was the chalky feeling you get from the protein powder. I personally don't drink smoothies, and I also don't have ARFID, so I have nothing I can recommend, but knowing *exactly* what you dislike would help in finding countermeasures

Definitely best served immediately. When getting drive through/take out by the time you get home it’s kinda gross and soggy.

I love fries. I love cheese curds. I love brown gravy. But this is definitely not greater than the sum of it's parts.

Why not just run the sauce through a fine-mesh strainer before spreading in onto the dough? If you strain out the sauce first, it will save you the hassle of having to pick through it after you've spread it out.

Have you tried to make your own pizza sauce? Less garlic and herbs so you can do less picking out the bits? Not tomato paste but just make your own sauce for homemade pizzas?

I just order my pizzas without sauce.

Damn, that sounds so exhausting to do every single time. I hope it isn't as exhausting for you as it would be for me

I only eat cheese and pepperoni pizza, other toppings on a pizza messes with the texture and flavor which I don’t like.

im glad u liked it 🎉

Well you gotta keep in mind that the skin is intestine. I think for hot dogs they use sheep intestine? Not sure. Either way that's where the bumpiness comes from.

I used to peel the skin off hotdogs as a kid cause I didn't like the skin texture. I'm fine with it now. I don't eat hotdogs often but when I do I prefer certain brands. I also love them as pigs in a blanket style !

I like pickles by themselves fine, but i like them best in a crispy chicken sandwich!

I think pickles are best eaten whole or sliced lengthwise in a hotdog

With a reaction like that, I was expecting you to rank it an F.

ThE smell of that soup btw was so bad. Made the house smell hella gross for hours. 🤢🤢🤢

If the chunks in soup really bother you, try getting an immersion blender and blending your soup until smooth.

I love Broccoli Soup, tho I always make it myself so I can blend it as finely as I want. Not sure what the ingredients for yours were, but for my own there needs to be lots of potato, a bunch of chili flakes and only a small amount of cream

Mango juice and mango salsa are 2 of my favorite things! Like you said you may prefer a diluted version 😊

Great job on trying something new Chris

I should note as well that the type of mango I ate in this video is an Ataulfo mango! There are several kinds and I'll give the others a try in the future.

based on your complaints I think it would definitely be worth to slice the apple into wedges if you eat more in the future. it's very easy then to cut off the little bit of core on it so that it looks (and is) more homogenous throughout and you can bite in without any worry of hitting a seed or something.

brazil nuts are weird. you might notice at the store that you can buy a bag of just cashews or just almonds or just peanuts etc, but you will never see a bag of just brazil nuts. they are actually so high in selenium that you are not supposed to eat more than like a couple a day. just one of them has around twice your recommended daily selenium. that's why you will only ever see them for sale mixed in with a bunch of other nuts. so it's probably not a big loss for your nutrition that you don't like them haha

interesting! I love the initial taste of mango but I absolutely despise the aftertaste that it leaves for me. interesting that you didn't seem to have that aftertaste!

I devoured the rest of that mango and the rest we bought lol. Mango is one my favourite fruits, especially these yellow ones! They were riper then it looks on camera. They were great with coconut cream ❤

That mango didn't look ripe. Definitely look for one without green on it and it should be mostly red/orange.

do you put butter on white bread? If so, you dont need anything else, Bread and butter is amazing

The safest safe food that’s ever safe fooded

Love the concept of this channel! Keep it up, i subscribed 👍

proud of you
