in the boarding school cafeteria at breakfast, lunch and tea, my friend would gobble down his food as quick as possible and then go around stealing everyone else's. i don't mean a forkful here and there, i mean he'd be lifting whole potatoes and sausages and scoops of ice cream. he literally could not help himself. the four of us who usually sat at the table and were his main victims all grew up with crazy speed-eating habits that took years to break because if you had anything on your plate when he was finished, it was his. but he spent his early childhood in an impoverished third-world orphanage, so we never held it against him. i guess it's not the usual experience you expect at boarding school, but it was a weird boarding school.

I’m kinda picky but I try very hard not to be a dick about it. Eggs, avocado and banana all give me horrific gut cramps, I don’t like the texture of red meat and I am a giant baby about spice (fine with black pepper and like, poblano/banana pepper levels of hotness). Amusingly despite being a Food Weird I use my palate in a professional capacity as a beer judge. I’m good at detecting off flavours because I can taste the slightest lil taint of flavour I hate.

I love food of all stripes. Many of my friends are vegan, so when I'm cooking and they're coming I'll do something vegan. When they're not, I won't. I love feeding people and I like the challenge of adapting a recipe so that everyone can enjoy it. The only thing that makes me sad is when people aren't willing to experiment. People who act as though they'll shrivel up and die if they have a meal without meat make me really unhappy, because there's so much cool stuff they'll never get to enjoy for no reason other than their own pride.

Im kind of bothered by folks who are just fine with lovely unhealthy food. Again, ive prepared food professionally for a long time so im biased. Im not saying you have to splash out on expensive ingredients but ive got heaps of friends in IT who have lived their lives making food choices only on convenience. A few of them have developed chronic health issues but dont seem to associate their microwavable burrito diet or refusal to drink water with it at all. I also live in a place with year round farmers markets everywhere. It just baffles me that food could be so low a priority for some.

Last year I started making vegan muffins using ripe bananas instead of eggs. I thought they tasted good and so did my wife. Until about a month later of making them on the weekends, I noted the substitution. She felt betrayed: "I don't like bananas!" Nothing I could say, including the most damnimg evidence that she had eaten and enjoyed them for a month would convince her otherwise. To this day she won't eat muffins I bake, even when I make them with eggs.

I've tried mushrooms so many times and the first breakthrough I've had cooking with it is slicing it so thin it basically disappears into the cabbage inside a spring roll, and that's the only time I've been able to handle it so far. Flavour and cooking smell is great which is the worst part. Most places default to mushrooms for non-meat options, so I have to keep trying. That said, nobody will ever convince me that eggplant/aubergine is good. I've tried cooking my own, I've eaten it in the heart of the Mediterranean, no dice. I don't mind those meat substitute protein lumps like quorn and soy and seitan, all of that 'I wish vegetarians/vegans could stop copying meat!' chat misses the issue that these protein lumps are like the only vaguely chewy poo poo we get. Bean burgers can be incredibly tasty but they're also just crisp-then-mush. Paneer/halloumi come close but not good for lactose-intolerant/vegan people and it's also not advisable to have cheese as the only protein source, obviously. That said the 'Impossible'/'Beyond' burgers have a very weird crumbly greasy texture and flavour that I've really come to dislike unless I make it super thin and so well-done that it's basically burnt, and I hope other veggie/vegan protein lumps don't copy them. Tofu is good but silken >>>> firm. While I'm at it, the whole 'it soaks up the flavour!' thing only applies to pressed, then frozen, then defrosted and pressed again firm tofu.

Got a MIL who refuses to drink water. She has health problems and is also quite irritable. She also buys into dietary superfood fads like mangosteen. Like, just drink some loving water. Your body needs it.

Chewbecca posted:I will eat something I hate if someone I like made it for me Same. The only food that I don't like is cantaloupe and a number years ago a woman I worked with who always brought me interesting Burkinese dishes to eat (cause she knew I'd eat them and the others wouldn't) made me a simple little bundt cake with fruit in the middle for my birthday. The top layer was banana, followed by kiwi, followed by the dreaded cantaloupe. I ate every bite because just because you don't like something does not mean that it will poison you (most of the time). She was very pleased that I liked it and I consider the consumption of the cantaloupe to have been more than worthwhile.

None. At all. And 20% say that they last drank a glass of water over a week ago – according to a new survey. The research, commissioned by Britvic’s family brand Robinsons, showed that almost half of the nation dislike drinking water, with 52% saying it is boring.

When I intend to go get a drink of water, I opt for juice or wine instead. For example, I love yoga. But instead of water, I’ll bring a glass of merlot for breaks. Don’t judge! Water tastes like nothing. Why would I drink nothing? What’s the point?

I drink water and eat at the same time, mostly mushing it into a fine slurry. Alternatively, storing non-mushable ingredients in my cheeks like a hamster.

Where are you getting water from, they wonder, presumably baffled by why the own so many goddamn cups with deng xiaoping's face on them. Rich westerners with central air/heating live in self created deserts with 15% humidity due to aggressive heating in the winter and A/C in the summer (even the Sahara desert has a relative humidity of only 25%). They lose a lot more straight water (w/o electrolytes) from living in an artificially dry atmosphere People in developing countries lose more water through sweat, which is why they need to take in salts along with their water to replenish, such as the salt found in soup 420 20 fucked around with this message at 15:16 on Aug 12, 2020 |

Confession: anytime I try eating beets I literally feel my gag reflex kick in and I feel my stomach turning and I have to fight back actually vomiting. No other food gives me this reflex. I also love drinking plain water now over anything casually, and now look at doritos and cheetohs with scorn over the stains and scent they leave, as I have moved onto pretzels on that front. How unreasonably weird about food does this make me with this new information?
