Carrots in a green salad and celery in a tuna fish salad are still intolerable to me because the contrast in texture between carrots or celery and salad or tuna fish is too great. However, I enjoy eating celery and baby carrots by themselves. Often as a child, less now, I would eat things serially, finishing one item on the plate before going on to the next. (Shore 2001, p.44) The young child may insist on a plain or restricted diet, such as only having boiled rice or sausages and chips for every evening meal for several years.
