What is a food that you are very picky about?

Uni - when it's ultra fresh from a high quality sushi restaurant it can be mouthwateringly delicious, but if it's not just cracked open a minute ago then it quickly starts to taste like sewage

I just don't like the taste of. But,
Don't give up yet. Once you find the right butt, you'll never want to taste anything else.
( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

American BBQ. There're a lot of regional flavors and differences but most of them are bad in my opinion. Memphis dry rubs and Kansas City molasses sauces are my 2 favorites

Icecream — I can't have a lot, so I only have it when I know it's highest quality.
Same, if I'm going to have the calories I'm going to make it worth it. That and the good stuff always leaves me feeling more satisfied with a smaller amount

Coleslaw. Mayonnaise has no business here, vinegar slaw or nothing.

Bagels. They MUST be toasted and topped with butter ONLY. It’s not that I don’t like cream cheese, it’s that I vastly prefer the taste of butter.
Of course, this all gets thrown out the window if we’re talking about some kind of bagel sandwich. Then whatever I like gets thrown on that thing, and toasting is optional.

cheesecake. PLAIN CHEESECAKE ONLY. absolutely no bullshit on or in my cheesecake.
I'm lactose intolerant now too so if I'm gonna eat cheesecake it better be world class lol
I shouldn’t even have to say this, but graham cracker crust is an iron clad requirement. I bet a lot of you out there are reading this and thinking “well DUH”. I envy you.
I had a “cheesecake” that some idiot made in an ordinary pastry pie crust. Not enjoyable.

Pizza. I came to realize when I first started traveling that being from Connecticut and having easy access to extremely good New Haven, Greek, and New York style pizza is a luxury. It's my favorite food. Whenever I travel, I make sure to try the area's so-called "best" pizza for at least one of my meals. It is seriously pathetic what some regions consider good pizza.

Bread, I guess.
I don't like butter on bread.
I don't like any sort of cheese, other than cream cheese, on bread.
That's about it, really.

Oh yah!
I had some at my fav place that came from Maine. I almost gagged from a strong metallic taste.. yuck!
They had more from Chile that was much better.
I'll take that Quail egg, too.

The best icecream isn't sold in stores, it's from little places that make it in-house. But the best I've found retail is Talenti Gelato.

Burgers, sandwiches, kebaps, etc. Stay away with your stupid sauces. I want to taste the ingredients, not the sauce. No, not even your super fancy handmade burger sauce. The stupid thing about sauces is that you can't even take them off when you don't like them. They're sticky and smooth and get everywhere.
Give me this person's sauce.
I want more sauce, I hate how dry these usually are. As much as it fits. Inject that thing into the buns.

I'll chime in with water.
There's so many different flavors of water. Just trying tap water in random places is such a different experience. Although I only specifically remember the worst. What the fuck was that bitter thing in Budapest.
As for mineral waters, I definitely go for Budiš in a glass bottle, chilled. -

Sushi/nigiri.
I do not screw around with low quality or bad meats, especially fish meat. I had enough fresh fish when I lived in Japan to know what it's supposed to look and smell like, and if the nigiri I'm served smells any bit off I'm simply not eating it.
If your fish smells like fish, it's gone bad. Most types of fish if properly preserved should smell somewhat like clean seawater, with some variation by species
Edit: Also, if the rice looks dry or doesn't adhere properly, I assume the kitchen has no idea what they're doing and won't eat it

Any kind of sandwich, burger, taco, hotdog, etc. that is too overstuffed to pick up and eat pisses me off. If its open face or whatever and you're eating it with a fork that's fine but if its not then I need to actually be able to eat it without food going everywhere when I pick it up. Giant burgers you can't pick up or fit in your mouth are especially stupid and I hate them.

What type of cheesecake? NY (dense), Philadelphia (lighter), Japanese (hyper fluffy), or one of the Ricotta variations (possibly more authentic?)? There's a bunch of others that are less common outside their native countries, but these styles are at several places within an hour's drive, so I'm counting this list as the most common.

It is hard to be overly picky about bagels unless you live in Manhattan. Crossing over to Jersey City immediately drops the quality. Venturing futher is just asking for trouble. I will happily eat the things that pass for bagels in the rest of the U.S., but one trip to the big city set the mark so high that I don't try to for perfection elsewhere. The lowest mark I've sampled was set in Montreal where I thought a onion bagel bought straight from the bakery would be be lovely... but instead was a crumbly, bready disaster. Obviously the Québécois have different expectations of bagels than do New Yorkers.
