Yep, food issues are real. My wife cannot eat split pea soup (I can take it or leave it) as it will induce nausea. One of my nephews has texture issues around fruit and will not eat anything with said ingredient. Navigating allergies, food restrictions, preferences is no joke with my family and fiends.

For example my home campaign group consists of a Vegetarian, keeps Kosher/Gluten Intolerance (Vegetarian), No Dairy (that's me!), and an allergy to coconut (which 0.039% of the US population has, that's my wife). Cooking food that we can all share is, challenging. Not impossible but challenging none the less. Dining in means finding a place that has a diverse menu to order from when we gather together.

Fortunately I live in Portland, Oregon and there are plenty of food choices and ingredients to get that make it possible. None of us would eat at a place that offers a $100 cheese sando because who has time for that ish.

I will say, my taste in food has evolved. As a child sour cream was a no go for me (my father loved it) and later in life I found that I could enjoy it. I miss it now that I have had to go dairy free. I haven't found a suitable substitute yet.
I was a fussy/picky/opinionated eater until I did freshman year in the dorms, in the 90s, at a state uni, before anyone cared about about making it a good experience. Other similars went one of two ways, some refused, ate a crap ton of cereal, I said, whelp, guess this is what I’m eating. Ended the year able to eat anything, and with a hunger to find a good version of it. Literally, freshman year dorm food made me a curious gourmand.
