Pulp is the absolute best part of orange juice. I don't understand why anyone wouldn't like it. It's the best part of the orange. It's juice in a little pouch, untouched until you bite into it and get that lovely nectar out of it. Without it one misses the magic of the fruit.

OJ with pulp is the way to go. Fiber and digestive health for any age.

For the same reason I don't like bagels, oatmeal, mashed potatoes, oysters, canned green beans, escargot, grits, fudge, and bananas that have gotten too ripe...

Welcome to the world of neurodivergence and sensory issues with food. 🙃 It goes beyond just disliking it; the textures will make me gag.

Mom was trying to make real mashed potatoes verses instant, and after a while, I told her "I'm sorry; I tried, I just can't do it." I can only tolerate it if they've been through a ricer/pureed or have lots of sauce on them from pot roast or short ribs (not just any gravy; it has to be something that changes the texture).

My brother is absolutely the same way, but his aversions are different. He eats oysters, for instance. But my mom, my brother, and me are in agreement on overripe bananas, escagot, and bagels. Dad will eat all of the above.

I used to have that same problem. Of course, I was three years old at the time. The escargot is the only one I will go along with but it isn't texture it is because they are a big slimy pile of snot just one small step up from a worm.

Unfortunately, neurodivergent texture issues with food don't go away with age. Some stuff gets better (both me and my brother are pretty adventurous...growing up routinely going to Epcot will do that to you) but some stuff never goes away. I mean, my grandfather died at 82 and never would let mashed potatoes pass his lips that weren't Hungry Jack instant potatoes because "they have too many lumps."

He won't eat ground beef, for instance. So he won't eat hamburgers, and he doesn't like the texture of hot dogs either. But he'll eat fried oysters. And he'll eat basically any kind of Asian stir fry. Pretty much he'll also eat any kind of chicken on the menu, and he likes pizza with red sauce basically any way. He devourved a mushroom pizza at Mamma Melrose's. He also LOVES creme brulee. I don't like oysters, but I'll eat whatever kind of sushi that's shellfish (as long as it's not shrimp because I'm allergic) but no raw fish.

It's not really picky eating because we're willing to try things; we're not toddlers. We just genuinely cannot tolerate some textures. Same way we have other sensory issues like with clothing.

Though I genuinely don't get how you can eat green beans out of a can. Unless you're impoverished...and even then, you deserve some corn instead. Green beans out of a can have to be the slimiest, nastiest things. I prefer fresh but will eat frozen. I don't do canned. 🤢 I mean, I grew up thinking I didn't like green beans. Turns out I do; just not out of a can.

Canned, even home canned green beans are gross. Fresh or frozen are the only way to go
