How does one make a very casual "request" to a good friend. I know that the て form is used to make a request that is fairly casual, but it doesn't sound "casual enough". For example, 食べて, would probably sound like 'please' eat it (a very soft please) and ptobably isnt said in very casual situations. To give a more concrete example, lets say I am with a close friend, and what I really want to say is "come on, dont be a wimp and just eat it bruh" or something along that line. In such cirxumstances, I would probably say...blah blah blah...... and finally食べてよ。I should also ask if its ok for both genders to use it. But that (at least to me) doesnt really sound casual does it, so I am wondering what is the most appropriate way to say this

In no particular order, we do say these:
「食べなよ」
「食べな」
「食べてみ」 ← gaining popularity in recent years.
「食くってみ」 mostly masculine
「食べちゃえよ」 mostly masculine
「食べちゃいなよ」
「食くっちゃえよ」 mostly masculine
「食べちゃったら？」
「食くっちゃいな」 mostly masculine
The ones that use 「食くう」 instead of 「食たべる」 would naturally be uttered mostly by male speakers.
Thus, to a friend that is hesitating to try a food item, you might say:
- 「ごちゃごちゃ言ってないで、（一回いっかい or 一口ひとくち）食ってみ！」
↑ Change the 「ない」 to 「ねえ」 and it will sound even more casual.
- 「能書のうがきタレてねえで、早はやく食くっちゃえよ！」
I have probably gone too casual. Point is that if your Japanese is basically textbook-ish (which is often the case with Japanese-learners), uttering just one extremely casual sentence learned from a native speaker will only make you look weird.
