That's what Kathleen McGowan claims in Psychology Today. "An anthropological analysis found that more than a third of us reject slippery food like oysters and okra. Twenty per cent of us don't like our foods to touch on the plate. The next time you wander a grocery-store aisle packed with jars of pickled jalapenos and boxes of instant scalloped potatoes, consider this: One-fifth of us eat from a palate of 10 or fewer foods."



And you thought you were the only one who divided your food so the pancakes didn't touch the bacon? We all have our little food idiosyncrasies! Some can eat everything, and some are much pickier than others.

Odd appetite? Take a chance and try something you wouldn't normally eat ? you may be surprised and like it! Many people enjoy eating food items now that they couldn't eat as a child.
