There is a lot of fuss and focus on what all people on the spectrum won't eat due to flavor, texture, and whatnot. What about all things we will eat that everybody else doesn't want to touch?
I like crunchy and I like spicy. So things I eat that other people tend to lay their ears back about is:
- Pizza bones/crusts. I save mine for last so it's like getting a platter of breadsticks, and if it's somebody I don't mind eating after, they usually give me theirs too since they don't like them.
- Pepper stems. Ya know those funny little pepperoncini peppers that some people put on sub sandwiches? I eat them stems and all, so sometimes I'm given stems from others.
- Well done bread and chicken. If we ever get tough toast, or the crust is too tough, or something fried was a little too fried, it usually ends up on my plate because I'll enjoy eating it. Not a fan of croutons though, they're too salty tasting.
The only people I eat after though is immediate family. I figure their germs are already well integrated into my system from having grown up around them (parents, sibling), raised them (offspring), or married them (husband only), so so long as there is no slobber on it, down the hatch!
I like my spicy to accentuate and compliment my meal, not overpower it. One of my relatives (heavily suspected on the spectrum) has a full pepper fetish and is currently growing ghost peppers. They really like the spicyness! Too much for me, I want to taste the meat and veggies too, not just the peppers.
