    If you like mashed potatoes, I've found pureed kohlrabi or cauliflower or daikon radish or turnip or celeriac make a nice substitute. Kohlrabi is probably my favorite potato sub.

    Try new foods and different ways to prepare them. Expand you palate. I used to hate fish but I found ways to cook it that I began to enjoy it.

    I'm in your boat - very picky eater - and it even sound like a lot of the foods you hate are on my list too! I've been doing a lot of simple things lately. I like to cook chunks of chicken and cauliflower in itlian dressing and lemon juice until all the sauce is gone; tons of flavor and really easy! I usually eat it with rice but that's up to you. I also like to do shredded chicken in BBQ sauce. Then I make it into a wrap with cheese and a fruit on the side. My other favorite thing in summers is to do Pasta Salad (pasta, pepperoni, cheese, italian dressing, and whatever veggies you like).

    Haha I'm practically a kid anyways, why not! Seriously though, that's not a bad idea. I can always adapt the recipes :)

    Yeah that's what I try to do :) If faced with foods I don't really like, I always make myself try at least one of them, otherwise how am I supposed to know I might like them? :)

    I've been known to be pretty darned picky but if I'm hungry enough I'm ready to compromise. I don't love vegetables but I'm hungry at dinner so I eat them first. My stick thin son wants to avoid dinner and snack all evening, but the rule is no snacking if you don't eat (most) of your dinner. Make sure you're good and hungry when mealtime rolls around, and it isn't a problem. This coming from someone who never ate an orange or a tomato until she was an adult because they "looked funny" and as a child once gagged on strawberries because of the texture of the seeds.

    I will try anything you put in front of me, but I will not eat (knowingly) eat onions. I only like crunchy stuff if I know what it is before hand, and even then, if my mind gets away from me and I start thinking about onions, I have to stop eating. Oddly enough, I like the flavor that onions give food. For instance, when I eat at Mexican restaurants, I order fajitas, but eat just the chicken. I won't eat the onions or the peppers. lol

    I like to eat (obviously lol), but most recipes have onions in them. I usually just omit and make up the flavor difference in spices.
