    I don't care for slimy things (okra), but the absolute worst for me is food that grows as I chew it! Beef jerky makes me gag because of this.

    The meat itself is fine,it's whatever else..maybe the tendons that are hiding near the meat,lol.

    I don't do jelly-like foods, and I absolutely cannot handle mushrooms...I don't like the taste, but the texture makes it all worse. Just the tiniest bite makes me gag...

    As for my food issues, I pretty much like all food, which was probably my issue in the first place.
    Nowadays it's quite common to skip "baby foods" altogether. It's called baby-led solids or baby-led weaning. My son, now 20mos never had purees, we introduced solid food at 6mos, nothing mushy. Pear slices, avocado slices, chunky food that he would pick up with his hands. Besides oatmeal we never spoonfed him.

    Check out this funny video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zzPMAJCPhmA
    of a baby starting off on solids at 6mos.

    Food and texture is a strange thing.

    When I was a kid, tater salad, macaronie salad and cole slaw were ICK. Then one time my Mom made head cheese, some strange concoction made from pig fat. Major gross. It was like a spam jello mix. YIKES! She could not figure out why us kids did not like it.

    Over the years, and sometimes given the lifestyle, I've tried a lot of foods. When we were poor, a friend gave us some ground raccoon. It's not bad. Makes great chili. Would not make burgers out of it.

    Rocky mountain oysters! YUM!

    On the other hand, lamb, ICK, the dog would not even eat it.

    Had rattlesnake, not bad, would not make it a staple. Venison/deer, properly processed is a great lean meat choice. Pheasant, dryer than a pop corn fa@t. Gotta drown it in sauce. Dove breast, yum, wrapped in bacon with a bit of brown sugar, and baked!

    The one thing I tried and will NEVER do again, is fresh oysters on the half shell. So gross. I will not eat anything I cannot catch in my mouth and chew. It just slid past my tongue and teeth and slid down my throat like a glob of snot. So GROSS!

    While raising my kids, I did take notice that texture some times did play into what they would or would not eat. They may not like it today, but wait a few months and they like it. For kids, it's all about learning and growing.
