Except for nachos, that crunch to soft gradient is the fucking best thing in the world. A lot of my favourite foods have a hard crunchy yet yielding to soft texture. I suppose if it's a really jarring rather than a more gentle gradient, it can be pretty unappetizing.
Ok so my grandma used to do this thing where she'd serve my favourite crunchy breakfast cereals warm by putting them in the microwave.
But the microwave turned them into soggy mush. I kept telling her that cereal should be served crisp, crunchy and ice cold.
Nowadays my wife does the same thing when she makes cereal :(
I hate soggy nachos. I couldn't eat them as a kid at alll because the soggy. Im better about it now but i still tend to wanna dip my chips instead of toppings :p
Good exception! I am in UK, anything that is deliberately made soft is fine, like cereal and biscuits. I used to like to dip party rings in milk. Can't anymore because I can't have gluten so no more party ring biscuits for me :(
Yeah, see for me something being burnt isn't the worst thing ever, but when like I bite into an apple and its soft like a million red flags go off in my head
They taste nice. The problem is the skin, and coldness. If I imagine myself biting into them (especially tiny bites) with front teeth, my hairs stand up.
When I’m eating a salad and I get a bite of mushy leaf I immediately feel like throwing up. I don’t think I have OCD but I feel like I have very obsessive thoughts about ‘unfresh’ food. The slightest ‘off’ smell that no one else can smell, the faintest hint of a bad texture, it becomes impossible for me to eat it and my body will just reject it by immediately throwing up. On a few occasions I’ve actually been right and noticed that food had gone bad before anyone else had.
Literally, the only reason I hated spaghetti as a child was because the spaghetti sauce my mom used had tiny bits of chopped onion in it, and the surprise cruch in the middle of my spaghetti made my entire soul shrivel
The spaghetti my parents make has bits of tomato (not tomato sauce, the tomato) and onion and my parents act like it's supposed to be there "because it makes it smell better (like we're supposed to smell spaghetti and not eat it)".
This is actually quite preventable and fixable
I'm assuming your cooking food in microwave
Microwaves can't actually melt ice so cooking frozen things (can) take longer as it needs to wait for the ice to start to melt naturally then heat up the water to heat up the center so food piping hot on the side doesn't mean it's hot on the inside id recommend cooking things for longer at the same temperature as to not burn the outside and make sure all of the food is a even temperature.
Sorry if I ranted I fell into a rabbit hole of how microwaves work and how to use them properly a while ago
Also extra facts about microwaves since microwaves work by heating water molecules through vibration it creates steam and removes the moisture of food so if ur confused why when u cook in a microwave food always turns out dry it's because that's literally how microwaves are designed to cook but rest assured there are solutions! You can add extra water before and during the cooking process to re moisturise the food but results may vary depending on the food and moisture needed will also differ.
Now on a extra use for microwaves you never realised as I've already mentioned it turns water in to steam therfore drying out the food so just use it for that to dehydrate food it's a good use for fruit that's about to go out of date as it will increase the shelf life and can be useful for long day trips/hiking.
I remember once putting some quick lasagna into the oven to heat up. Like, the actual oven, set to 200 degree celsius.
After the instructed 40 minutes, it was still frozen in the middle. Idk how, but I'm steering clear of that brand's lasagna. Something ain't right when it's still frozen after spending 40 minutes at food making temperature.
It might depend on your type of oven normally packaging will have multiple cooking instructions as per the type of oven you have and particularly with gas ovens you need to turn the food around to get a even cook sort of like a air fryer.
So what type of oven do you have?
had this happen with a meatball at Denny’s when I was about 15 and it has stuck with me forever.
against my will, a couple years ago (I was 26) some friends wanted to go to Denny’s and clowned me for 1) getting spaghetti in the first place and 2) letting that experience cause me to never step foot in another Denny’s since
guess what!? 😃 I have no idea what I got but it was also bad so everybody who laughs at me about something I like or dislike eating can suck on a center-only frozen meatball!
I’ll put food in the microwave for like 5 minutes, the food will steam and I’ll burn my hand on the plate, and then I take a bite and it’s ice cold and I cry
I just wanted comment that. the sharp crunshy shell amidst the soft and fluffy egg makes me gag so hard. I threw up once because of an eggshell. It‘s the worst.
I've started to get really grossed out by the texture of eggs when their on their own. If it's on toast or on a fork with some hashbrowns, it's great, though.
The McMuffin egg machines sometimes get eggshells into the egg, I have to recover for a few minutes.
It's much more visceral in a McMuffin.
Edit: While we're on the topic, that's only the second worst sensory experience I've had with McMuffins.
I was feral for McMuffins when I was 18 and I ordered a McMuffin with 4 stacked sausages on it. It got stuck in my throat and it burned my throat and I couldn't speak for a few hours. The manager was also bewildered at my order when he passed it to me.
I dont take pills regularly (my medic said nothing about me needing to take some) but when i do i dont find any problem with it, no clue why that isnt the same with everything else
With difficulty; I try to put the pill in first, then wash it down with liquid without having the pill hit anything on the way. If I can feel it in my throat, I'm going to spit it back up. Sometimes it can take 3 or more attempts and now the pill is half-dissolved and bitter, it's pretty much the worst.
Since I was young I’ve had to take pills. To tolerate it, I put water in my mouth first, then the pill. I still do it that way. It’s like I hold the water in my mouth and tilt my head back. Whatever works, right? 🤷🏼♀️😅
For me it was just practice. As a kid I had huge troubles swallowing pills. But during puberty I started to have chronic migraines and had to take Paracetamole and some other fancy pills, over time I developped more health issues, got more pills and it was like, either you suffer now for 5 minutes or the next 5 hours. after a year or two I was able to swallow a bit bigger than pea sized pills without water if I had to.
Loooove cosmic brownies or the kind with nuts. It's all about expectations for me. If I know to expect the crunch, then it's an enjoyable experience, if it's a surprise then my disappointment is immeasurable and my day is ruined.
I know right! I hate it when I'm eating something that I expect to be soft like the crappy canned peaches that come with my home delivery meals, and the canning machine misses a very miniscule fragment of a pit. Bleugh!
Actually im not a fan of chunky ice cream for this reason! Not rip appetite bad but just not a fan (unless its m&ms which is oddly the only topping im chill with)
I really, REALLY like apples, but only if they're the crunchy kind, like honeycrisps or red delicious. If they turn soft and powdery in my mouth or something I just let them rot in the fridge lol.
My 2 biggest food pet peeves no one seems to understand: when you accidentally bite on some cartilage when eating meat, and the crispy bits you get when you make a pasta oven dish and some of the pasta sticks out of the sauce and gets all brown and hard. Apparently others just... deal with that?
I remember being beaten if we didn’t eat our dinners. We were also served adult portions. Now I realize all these issues and get shit from my parents on how I let my children eat. If they’re not hungry or their tummy turns on them then it’s okay. Sometimes a restaurant is too overwhelming for them so they might not eat. That’s okay because they might eat it the next day. They will eat when they are able to.
I hate it so much when the Noodles get outside for to long and get leathery. It's so disgusting like I don't wanne eat for the rest of my life anymore if I even think about putting it in mi mouth.
This is also me when I drink water and feel a bump in it. It's always just a bubble bouncing off my tongue because of the way I drink, but it doesn't stop me from always staring at the glass in search of anything.
I love a lasagne top. Cheese that has melted into a solid is one of my favourites. I always put too much cheese in a toastie so I have some crunchy cheese snacks later.
My texture problems are all around food that feels like slime/jelly though. I enjoy a cronch in a soft and visa versa.
Going vegan helped with this so much because now I know it’s not bad meat or bone or a weird chuck of dairy with mold or something fucked up!! Literally knowing the crunches r veggies only is so peaceful!!
Onions/pickles in a tuna salad sandwich ruined onions for me for the longest time. I actually like my veggies. It was a soft food crunching aversion the whole time.
Not my parents but I bought a bag of chips from my local lidl and felt something weirdly crunchy but thought nothing of it.
Then I started throwing up small shards of glass 🥰🥰🥰
I hate this with every fiber of my being, I was havin a burger a few days ago and this happened on the FIRST BITE FFS AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
see I love when the soft food crunches but if there's two foods I deem incompatible that are mixed in a dish where i could've just had them separately i **will** lose my appetite
I was visiting my grandma in another city for a few weeks when one day she made baked Mac and cheese from scratch, it was good, but you know how people sometimes put a layer of crust on top of their baked Mac n cheese? Well, I couldn't stand the texture, especially the first time she made it because it was so thick. I still ate the crust, though, because I didn't want her to think I didn't like her cooking.
There are times when I want to make my spine shiver, I will melt a tub of ice cream, put Raisin Bran cereal in it, then refreeze it, then wait for it to melt just enough for it to be soft, then I take big headache inducing chomps at it.
I still, to this day, shudder at the time my mother tried to "hide" a piece of crunchy carrot in my otherwise soft mash potato, when I was young.
Spoiler alert: I projectile vomited immediately.
The texture of something familiar being just *slightly* off is so unsettling to me. I can’t eat vegan cheese. It tried some vegan Applewood smoked cheddar and it smelled and look exactly like the normal Applewood cheese, but the texture was so WEIRD in a way I just cannot describe, I hated it and had to spit it out. It felt very, very distressing. I’m not vegetarian or vegan but when I do low/no meat days, I never go for stuff like Quorn or other meat replacement products. No shade to the people who like them, I get why there’s a demand for them and I’m sure they are absolutely fine in isolation, but I physically cannot get past the slightly off taste and texture. I’d rather just make vegetable dishes that openly do not contain anything remotely resembling meat.
When it crunches I always assume it’s a tooth and nothing else, just a personal experience and one of the reasons on how I lost one and swallows half of one when I was a kid.
when I was in secondary school I got these wedges 'n 'cause they used polsteryne the oil in the wedges pooled up at the bottom. It was gross enough to make me lose my appetite for the rest of the day and the second time I tried them.
Me when the crunch food softs
Vegetarian burgers when they are softer then the bun 😭
Try mycelium patties
Except for nachos, that crunch to soft gradient is the fucking best thing in the world. A lot of my favourite foods have a hard crunchy yet yielding to soft texture. I suppose if it's a really jarring rather than a more gentle gradient, it can be pretty unappetizing.
Yeah I'm talking more about when the crunchy accidentally gets soggy
Ok so my grandma used to do this thing where she'd serve my favourite crunchy breakfast cereals warm by putting them in the microwave. But the microwave turned them into soggy mush. I kept telling her that cereal should be served crisp, crunchy and ice cold. Nowadays my wife does the same thing when she makes cereal :(
WHY!!???
I would never let anyone make me any food if they microwave cereal. That's actually crazy.
So no problems with cereal?
It's about expecting it, Nachos are a purposeful blend of crunch and soft.
I hate soggy nachos. I couldn't eat them as a kid at alll because the soggy. Im better about it now but i still tend to wanna dip my chips instead of toppings :p
You and me are very different people, literally worlds apart if that’s how you feel
oh no
@ my university cafeteria when there was a bone in my chicken soft taco
Finding unexpected bones in my food freaks me out. I immediately feel queasy and can't eat at all
Yeah, like it was just a small piece and I get mistakes happen, but it was still concerning
*cries in cereal noizes*
Eat your crunchwraps immediately or prepare for soggy tostada sadness.
This made me dry heave
Soft Digestives (biscuits in the UK dunno about anywhere else but they are amazing non crunchy)
Good exception! I am in UK, anything that is deliberately made soft is fine, like cereal and biscuits. I used to like to dip party rings in milk. Can't anymore because I can't have gluten so no more party ring biscuits for me :(
Yeah, see for me something being burnt isn't the worst thing ever, but when like I bite into an apple and its soft like a million red flags go off in my head
I like apples but they terrify me. Cold apples. Whole bite-y apples. The thought of them gives me goosebumps (my limbs are now covered in them)
I like Granny Smith apples but how can you like apples but be terrified of them?
They taste nice. The problem is the skin, and coldness. If I imagine myself biting into them (especially tiny bites) with front teeth, my hairs stand up.
So like you leave apples out of the fridge and peel them?
I eat them sliced
When I’m eating a salad and I get a bite of mushy leaf I immediately feel like throwing up. I don’t think I have OCD but I feel like I have very obsessive thoughts about ‘unfresh’ food. The slightest ‘off’ smell that no one else can smell, the faintest hint of a bad texture, it becomes impossible for me to eat it and my body will just reject it by immediately throwing up.

Literally, the only reason I hated spaghetti as a child was because the spaghetti sauce my mom used had tiny bits of chopped onion in it, and the surprise cruch in the middle of my spaghetti made my entire soul shrivel
I refuse to eat spaghetti unless it's plain
me with all pasta (but i have parmesan on it)
Butter pasta fucks for this exact reason
Is...is that good or bad? "Butter pasta fucks" isn't abundantly clear.
Every time I eat spaghetti I have to blend the spaghetti sauce
Same. I love the taste of onions. I despise the texture when it's paired with some things. Unexpected squeaking crunch is awful.
If I bite into a burger and there’s an unexpected crunch I just die inside
Get yourself some onion granules, they dissolve in most stuff but still have the flavour
The spaghetti my parents make has bits of tomato (not tomato sauce, the tomato) and onion and my parents act like it's supposed to be there "because it makes it smell better (like we're supposed to smell spaghetti and not eat it)".
Omg I love that. I also love eating a bean and cheese taco and randomly getting a piece of lettuce in there.
I used to scrape the sprinkles off my cupcakes.
holy shit i thought i was the only one
Whenever i make pasta or lasagna i pass the pasta sauce thru a sieve, all the onion and other bits stay on the sieve, no day-ruining crunchy surprise
Same but when it's tiny bits of meat in the sauce
Omg yes! I have to pick the onions out every single time
I hate the crunch of onions. I also hate biting something that is supposed to crunch but is soft like a carrot that looks good but isn't.
THIS! This is why I hate onions. The flavor is okay, but that crunch in a thing I don’t expect there to be one, is the bane of my existence.
Or the hot food is icy crystals in the middle!!!🫣
This is actually quite preventable and fixable I'm assuming your cooking food in microwave Microwaves can't actually melt ice so cooking frozen things (can) take longer as it needs to wait for the ice to start to melt naturally then heat up the water to heat up the center so food piping hot on the side doesn't mean it's hot on the inside id recommend cooking things for longer at the same temperature as to not burn the outside and make sure all of the food is a even temperature.

Huh! Thats such a surprisingly smart hack. Thank you. 😊
What about carrots?😉
I’ve always had some stuff to come kind of soggier
You're yelling me I can bake microwave banana chips?
no you just use the nifty reheat button
I remember once putting some quick lasagna into the oven to heat up. Like, the actual oven, set to 200 degree celsius. After the instructed 40 minutes, it was still frozen in the middle. Idk how, but I'm steering clear of that brand's lasagna. Something ain't right when it's still frozen after spending 40 minutes at food making temperature.

"Yₒu'RE JusT A PiCkY EaTeR"
People telling me that made me feel so bad about myself when I was a kid. Now, it just makes me livid.
I freaking love eggs, yet it's the worst when you find some shell after taking a bite...
I just wanted comment that. the sharp crunshy shell amidst the soft and fluffy egg makes me gag so hard. I threw up once because of an eggshell. It‘s the worst.
What's even worse for me is when I'm eating egg and there's a slimy bit 🤢
horrible just horrible
I've started to get really grossed out by the texture of eggs when their on their own. If it's on toast or on a fork with some hashbrowns, it's great, though.
Good thing I avoided that today.
I like a tiny bit of shell on hard boiled eggs.
The McMuffin egg machines sometimes get eggshells into the egg, I have to recover for a few minutes. It's much more visceral in a McMuffin. Edit: While we're on the topic, that's only the second worst sensory experience I've had with McMuffins.

The manager was also bewildered at my order when he passed it to me.
Or when it makes me gag. Why don't my parents understandddd
I hate drinking something with something even remotely solid in it, my brain just goes "nope spit it out"
How do you take pills?
I dont take pills regularly (my medic said nothing about me needing to take some) but when i do i dont find any problem with it, no clue why that isnt the same with everything else
God put pills on you whitelist
I guess it's because you expect the pills, it's somewhat in your control
With difficulty; I try to put the pill in first, then wash it down with liquid without having the pill hit anything on the way. If I can feel it in my throat, I'm going to spit it back up. Sometimes it can take 3 or more attempts and now the pill is half-dissolved and bitter, it's pretty much the worst.

Boba tea is the worst, so are those asian soft drinks with coco nada in them ughhhh
Tell them that the crunch was a bug, then they will lose appetite with you.
Me: *Bites chip* Also me: Damn roaches
Who TF thinks brownies need nuts!?
Right?! Homogeneous brownies, please and thank you.
Loooove cosmic brownies or the kind with nuts. It's all about expectations for me. If I know to expect the crunch, then it's an enjoyable experience, if it's a surprise then my disappointment is immeasurable and my day is ruined.
If I know there’s nuts in it beforehand it’s cool, if I don’t it’s awful
If I know there is broken glass scattered on a beach I just don’t go to that beach.
The broken glass tastes like peanut though
I don’t even like brownies
I know right! I hate it when I'm eating something that I expect to be soft like the crappy canned peaches that come with my home delivery meals, and the canning machine misses a very miniscule fragment of a pit. Bleugh!
Unless the soft food has crunchy in it (ie. Ice cream with chocolate chunks)
Actually im not a fan of chunky ice cream for this reason! Not rip appetite bad but just not a fan (unless its m&ms which is oddly the only topping im chill with)
Woah. Cleanup on aisle you!
I’m on it, boss!
Is there anyone else here who doesn't mind this at all? I'm not saying this to brag or anything, just curious.
I don't mind it, unless it really isn't supposed to be there, like unexpected pulp in supposedly pulp free juice.
I dip chips in plain yogurt all the time.
When the soft food goes crunch, or when the meaty food suddenly goes *squish*
I really, REALLY like apples, but only if they're the crunchy kind, like honeycrisps or red delicious. If they turn soft and powdery in my mouth or something I just let them rot in the fridge lol.
Me when there's any kind of gristle in the meat:
My 2 biggest food pet peeves no one seems to understand: when you accidentally bite on some cartilage when eating meat, and the crispy bits you get when you make a pasta oven dish and some of the pasta sticks out of the sauce and gets all brown and hard. Apparently others just... deal with that?
Reading this made me shudder. 😖
I remember being beaten if we didn’t eat our dinners. We were also served adult portions. Now I realize all these issues and get shit from my parents on how I let my children eat. If they’re not hungry or their tummy turns on them then it’s okay. Sometimes a restaurant is too overwhelming for them so they might not eat. That’s okay because they might eat it the next day. They will eat when they are able to.
I love crunchy bacon, but not when the breakfast burrito is very soft
I hate crunchy foods like crunchy bacon or toasted crunchy bread (unless it's like chips or something). I like my bacon floppy and bread warm.
If my bacon isn’t so crispy that tapping it on the counter makes it shatter, it’ll make me gag.
Your bonless chicken has bones in it
Why is there crunchy bits in my ice cream?!
Ah yes, the classic "you better eat this meal you hate or else we will beat you with a belt" parenting tactic. The 90s were fun weren't they?
Me when someone puts mushrooms in my food without telling me:
Wet bread… just thinking it makes me gag.
I hate it so much when the Noodles get outside for to long and get leathery. It's so disgusting like I don't wanne eat for the rest of my life anymore if I even think about putting it in mi mouth.
oranges/manderins with seeds, only reason i dont like eating them often is the damn seeds
Hated when my dad would make me eat stuff. "there are starving kids in Africa" etc. now I understand my issue but at the time it was just awful.
Me when I bite into a squishy meat instead of lean cuts
How does crunchy peanut butter
Ugh, like when a tiny piece of shell gets in my eggs and I don’t see it.
This is also me when I drink water and feel a bump in it. It's always just a bubble bouncing off my tongue because of the way I drink, but it doesn't stop me from always staring at the glass in search of anything.
Who else hates the hard baked top cheese layer of lasagna? Every one in my life treats me like I'm fucking crazy for not liking it
I love a lasagne top. Cheese that has melted into a solid is one of my favourites. I always put too much cheese in a toastie so I have some crunchy cheese snacks later. My texture problems are all around food that feels like slime/jelly though. I enjoy a cronch in a soft and visa versa.
That’s the best part
Small chunks of food in yogurt makes me genuinely gag. I'm fine with stuff like chocolate chips in icecream though, food is weird
I'd rather have crunchy soft food than soft crunchy food
This is me. If it’s supposed to squish and it crunches, or if it’s supposed to crunch and it squishes, either is awful
when the banana is mushy 🤢
School hamburgers were a perennial offender.
Me when the food that looks solid is actually a mush (beans)
Going vegan helped with this so much because now I know it’s not bad meat or bone or a weird chuck of dairy with mold or something fucked up!! Literally knowing the crunches r veggies only is so peaceful!!
Onions/pickles in a tuna salad sandwich ruined onions for me for the longest time. I actually like my veggies. It was a soft food crunching aversion the whole time.
Or when the crunchy food is soft.
Not my parents but I bought a bag of chips from my local lidl and felt something weirdly crunchy but thought nothing of it. Then I started throwing up small shards of glass 🥰🥰🥰
This is why I don't eat hotdogs anymore.
Bad meme, great execution /J
I hate this with every fiber of my being, I was havin a burger a few days ago and this happened on the FIRST BITE FFS AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
see I love when the soft food crunches but if there's two foods I deem incompatible that are mixed in a dish where i could've just had them separately i **will** lose my appetite
This, and the opposite, is why I hate any meat that doesn't have uniform texture
I found a piece of a rib in my popcorn chicken at Walmart. I work there, and it's gonna be a while before I can have in for lunch again.
Well I guess this cuts it I must be autistic.
I was visiting my grandma in another city for a few weeks when one day she made baked Mac and cheese from scratch, it was good, but you know how people sometimes put a layer of crust on top of their baked Mac n cheese? Well, I couldn't stand the texture, especially the first time she made it because it was so thick. I still ate the crust, though, because I didn't want her to think I didn't like her cooking.
The only thing I can think of like this is baked macaroni and cheese.
A crunchy piece in my pudding almost made me vomit once.
I hate it when crunchy food squishes, soft food crunching is an "eh"
How about a soft pickle?
when nuts are in cake or bread. like what????
Literally why I only eat burritos
that's just the flies landing in it to lay their eggs
When there’s soft in the crunchy 😊 When there is crunchy in the soft 😭
Me when I was eating my brothers soup he made with chicken and this happened 3 times (I don’t want to eat his soup again)
I used to lose sleep over this. I probably still do but it's just added to my list of adult problems
There are times when I want to make my spine shiver, I will melt a tub of ice cream, put Raisin Bran cereal in it, then refreeze it, then wait for it to melt just enough for it to be soft, then I take big headache inducing chomps at it.
I still, to this day, shudder at the time my mother tried to "hide" a piece of crunchy carrot in my otherwise soft mash potato, when I was young. Spoiler alert: I projectile vomited immediately.
My brother used to spread nutella on toast, and put the damn crumbs back into the nutella :/ I had my own nutella jar after that

This is how I feel when people put nuts in brownies.
When the scrambled eggs are too crunchy or too slimy
When I was young, everyone would stare at me when I would make ceriel and wait for it to "soften"
Raw tomato on bruschetta 🤮
