Not sure how to directly reply yet haha, but your idea fwooper about her only wanting to eat the "purest" and "cleanest" form of the vegetable definitely has merit, given how it is also how her family eats and we know their views on taking medications etc. It could be definitely a form of perfectionism. Honestly her and her family's food reminds me of those jokes about how the British colonised the world for spices and then never used any.
I wonder if her weird food combos are also due to just growing up with such bland food and thus doesn't know what spices and flavours go together?
