Be honest, are you a fussy eater, or will you happily eat almost anything?

B1Food & eatingReflect

A natural way to answer

I'd say I'm fairly easy-going with food. There are a few textures I don't enjoy, but generally I'm happy to try most things. I think being open-minded about food makes life a lot simpler, especially when you're a guest somewhere.

Key phrases to use

  • fussy — hard to please, especially about food“He's so fussy he won't touch vegetables.”
  • get it down me — to eat something, even reluctantly, and be done with it“It's not my favourite, but I'll get it down me.”
  • set in my ways — having fixed habits that are hard to change“I'm too set in my ways to try new diets.”
  • turn my nose up — to reject something because you think it's beneath you“Don't turn your nose up before you try it.”
