I'm surprised to see so many (any!!) people not liking potatoes, mashed or otherwise. My cousin went through a no-potato phase, and we were just agreeing that she was a freak for that! Maybe not so freaky.
You know, I just... I woke up, and I looked in the mirror, and I thought, hey, what's with all the sin? I need to change. I'm... I'm dirty. I'm, I'm bad with the... sex and the envy and that, that loud music us kids listen to nowadays.

My texture issues are TOTALLY texture. Cottage cheese, bleah. Sweet pudding, bleah. Crepes, ok that was a stomach flu aversion. Can't'do flan or custard, hate most gravies. Some yogurts get me gagging.
There is an element of sweet: I don't really do sweets, my downfall is salty crunchy.
But that's really separate from texture. Sweets I avoid. Texture stuff makes me gag.

Right. Your texture spans both sweet and savory, sara.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Gravy is meat juice + cornstarch or flour to thicken.
Thankfully not in the main cuisines I grew up eating.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
My mom is one of those who can't eat pudding or flan. Never had a gravy problem, though.
I definitely had texture issues as a kid-- couldn't eat steak because the fat was gross and the chewy muscly-ness was disgusting.

I love custards.
But I also think poutine is the greatest thing ever invented. And have been known to dip Chips Ahoy in Con Queso while having beer.

I love custards that don't taste like egg. But abhor gravy that can resist gravity.

I like meat fat. Chewy, mmm. Heh. And then there is the inexplicable color thing (too many colors FREAK OUT! Too much white FREAK OUT) I contain multitudes!

Oh, dude, I would totally do that. But I'm a salt fiend, so I don't know that I've ever found anything sweet that didn't benefit from a little salt.
Also I love flan and every thing else.
