I have to confess, I am almost as bad as my son. Since I've learned about sensory issues here I have wondered if I have sensory issues or like PP mentioned, am a supertaster. I volunteered for the Duke study for picky adult eaters. Most fruits and vegetables make me gag. It's awful and embarrassing. It's better when I can cook for myself, because I can puree things for myself--like when a recipe calls for onion I have to puree it, because I can't stand to bite into one. I love V-8. It's a texture thing with most of my dislikes. Soups are a favorite thing of mine.
I don't know if that is what DS's problem is, but his likes are way more arbitrary than mine.
