I am a picky eater, have been a picky eater all my life. I managed during my late teenage years and early twenties to acquire a taste for vegetables (and I am grateful that I did), but fruits (apple, grape, etc) are still a problem for me.
I have identified however, that I like
- Mango
- oranges
- lemons
Now I wonder what fruit I could “try” next. Preferably I would not start with Apples and Bananas (as a kid it was constantly suggested I should eat apple/bananas that I don’t have the best memories in this regard, I think these will be tougher fruits to start with).
Why am I asking this? Ultimately I want to balance out my diet more and potentially get into a position where I can opt for fruit over chocolate if I want to have something sweet.
Would sorbets make things more palatable? I ask as I recently took delivery of an iced treat machine and a mango sorbet was made literally from the contents of a jar of mango and mango syrup.
I sometimes freeze grapes and crunch through them in Summer.
Berries are probably a good choice, they’re a bit tart which I suspect you lean towards given you don’t seem to mind citrus. I wonder how you will go with lychee - this can be purchased by weight, but I actually buy cans of it to blitz with ice to make a slushee.
I’m not sure if texture is a problem - if it is, blitzing into iced treats is definitely my recommendation.
