I don’t eat any fruit and two vegetables.
I wish I could but I can’t down it..
Is there any cure for this?

Hmmm, I’m different:
I like banana’s, and then rasin’s if thoses are considered dry, green grapes, and apples inside a pie and especialy like them mushy…watermellon but no other mellons, cherries but never those bright red jared marashino or whatever they call them…
no kiwi, plums, peaches, prunes, dates, dried fruit.
I can tolerate but none the less wont eat or avoid whole apples, pears, red grapes….
I love whole grains of just about any type….

I’m just trying to use and extend the things I know that have worked for me before. It’s about convincing myself that it’s similar enough to something I already can eat. For eg, I got onto fruit juices by pretending it was water. Though I confess I haven’t actually got around to trying my apple biscuit yet.

Hi Alex. I’ve never tried dried fruit, which sounds on paper like a good idea (for which, thanks), but I can tell you in advance I won’t like it. I think given a choice between fresh and dried, I’d have to master fresh fruit before I could broach them in other forms. My guess is that you’d get more crunch that way too. Just the very thought of the feel of a raisin gets me all icky. My mouth says no.

Interesting point, i’m fairly lucky in i like basic fruits in what i call apples, oranges and peaches, however i dont like things such as mango and kiwi.

Do you like dried fruit? Cause i suppose that would be a ‘dry’ crunch, but comes from what would have been a ‘wet’ crunch if you get me? I cannot stand any form of dried fruit.

Interesting therory. I have never really looked at it that way.
My wife has been saying for years that my problem is with texture and I have always discounted her as wrong. I never really thought about the dry vs. juicy….

However before this blog-site came along I never really wanted to think about it or talk about it. After all, there couldn’t be anyone else like me.

Thanks.
