What does this even mean?
A fancy way of saying “icky”.
It means the texture is weird and he doesn’t like it.
Hard to understand?
IMO, it’s a form of mental illness. My mom won’t eat anything if the texture doesn’t feel right in her mouth. She is malnourished and only weighs 90 pounds. She has all kinds of digestive issues, heart issues, high BP, and almost all of it is caused by her diet. She’s in her mid-80’s but was relatively healthy until she started disliking the feel of certain foods in her mouth. The doctor says it’s all in her head. She wasn’t that bad when she was young but after she hit 75 or so it really got bad.
Think of it as pulp in your orange juice. Some people don’t are and other buy the pulp free type. What’s his level of tolerance? Most folks will drink oj with the pulp if that’s the only kind. Never known anyone who falls on the floor with convulsions if there is pulp.
So, what’s this idiot’s tolerance level? Is he a weirdo strange kid in other areas and behaviors? Come on, he’s going blind and won’t even take medical supplements? Chalk him up to weird in all areas. One would think his parents would have done something about his diet before this. His parents should have stood over him to make sure he took his supplements.
I knew a weird kid who wouldn’t eat anything green (?) and wouldn’t touch anything on his plate if two items were touching. That eliminated any sauce or gravy in case it spread. Rice and corn was also pretty much off limits in case they rolled onto something. He was just plain weird in all areas of his life.
Our nephew’s boys refuse to eat anything but steak. They came for a visit but after three days of weirdness and whining about not being able to eat anything I gave them, and we shipped them off to another aunt to deal with. Sorry, kid, I don’t play that game. You will eat your veggies and go outside in the sun and fresh air here.
