When I think of how many folks I've heard from who (like me) had undiagnosed food allergies as a kid but were forced to eat unhealthily by their parents...sigh. https://twitter.com/JillFilipovic/status/1309349157937852417
"You can't have plain chicken fingers, you will have the lasagne with me" like ok, I'll let my painful tomato allergy know that we'll be vomiting on your taupe carpet later, Mother.
I have an incredibly sensitive stomach and the list of foods I can't eat is longer than the list of ones I can. The ONLY person who is successful in getting me to Try New Foods is Kissmate.
His secret? Enthusiasm about the food coupled with a sincere "okay!
" when I say no.

Kissmate: Wanna try this? It's really good!
Me: ....n-no. Thank you.
Kissmate: Okay! Maybe next time. Up to you! *continues eating happily*
Me: ...........maybe a tiny bite.

Oh, and if my response to the food is ICK WHY DID I NO NO NO NO WATER QUICK he just laughs and gets me water and isn't a judgey bastard, so that helps too.
