My dad picks certain things out of his food...he's a REALLY picky eater. do any other GUYS actually do this?

he'll pick out onions, artichoke pieces, red onion, basil, broccoli, anything he doesn't like. he'll spend like 10 minutes picking out all these tiny pieces of whatever said food he doesn't like. for my mom it's like trying to feed a 12 year old. ive never seen another guy do this. have you, or guys..do you?
