Soup is good, sorry. Maybe tell east Asia to stop making really great soups and then I might say that soup is bad except oh wait have you ever had homemade french onion soup with the bread and gruyere? Cause that is some Soup.

I'll pretty much only buy shrimp/prawns off the trawlers or from trusted seafood suppliers. The frozen poo poo from Thailand is straight garbage and contributes to actual human slavery and shark finning and other nasty stuff. Then again so does everything so enjoy the shrimp fried rice I guess

I wouldn't say monster, but a lot of animals do taste a lot like chicken. Alligator, frog legs etc. are all very chickenish tasting.

just my unreasonable weirdness. I have tried those and it wasn't for me. I did have a turtle soup that I felt "okay" about then I felt bad. I think it's because I only have empathy for fish and reptiles and invertebrates

what is the purpose of soup?

Using leftovers, not throwing out the parts of the animal you can't physically eat but still have nutrition (bones, etc), easy to eat if you are sick. Every culture has some variation of chicken soup and it has been scientifically proven to have anti-inflammatory properties which helps with the cold and flu.

My problem with soup is that it's almost always better thickened up into a stew. It's not really a food if you can't chew it, just a pretentious drink.

Have you ever smelled microwaved fish? Specifically microwaved fish that was in the microwave a good five minutes too long? I have. Try it at home!

I've never liked soup in a restaurant and only cream of tomato soup from a can, but my mum makes a really nice carrot soup, chickpea and sweet potato/butternut squash soup (which does straddle the line with stew I guess), and a vegetable lentil soup. I've made a celeriac and turnip soup that turned out pretty nice, and a purple soup from red cabbage which was probably about as good as cabbage soup can be.

Soup is good.

When I was in high school there was a Spanish teacher who was from somewhere in latin america, Nicaragua maybe.

The other Spanish teachers hated him for a bunch of reasons, like not learning their names and instead calling them "you," and insisting that only Spanish from his country was correct.

But what they liked least about him was that a lot of the time for lunch he would bring a fish in and microwave it in the foreign language dept office.

Microwaved fish in an office setting is an offense worthy of physical violence, imo.

Here's the biggest food weirdo that I know about, Jon Hein, of the Howard Stern show as well as the creator of the Jump The Shark website (yes, really).

He basically only eats fast food, but can only have his burgers plain.

He wrote a book about fast food, including instructions on how to be a sociopath while standing in line.

I've got a pocket full of cheese🧀, and a garden full of trees🌴.

I don't drink coffee. Ever. Because coffee is a grown up's drink. And gently caress being a grown up.

"But BrigadierSensible, you drink beer, and beer is actually LEGALLY a drink for grown ups"

You shut up with your logic. Coffee is not for me.

And I never used to drink Tea, largely for the same reason, but also coz my mum used to drink gallons of the cheap stuff. But after living in Asia for a few years, I got into good herbal/flowery teas. And I get around my bullshit objections, i.e. they are a grown up's drink, with some linguistic pedantry. Tea is not a grown up's drink, it is a gentleman/lady's drink.

On another thing. I despise salad dressing. When I have salad, I want to taste the fruit and vegetables in the salad, I want the vegetables to retain their own flavour and texture. I don't want to drown them in oil, or slather them with sauce so they become mushy and I can only taste the sauce.

A funny thing about this stuff is, I never thought of myself as a fussy/picky eater. In fact one of the people I unfairly judge are picky eaters. But with this post, and the other one I did in this thread, it seems I have a whole bunch of weird issues around food.

Hey we cooked this delicious fish meal but oh-ho-ho-ho its chockfull of hundreds of tiny dagger bones, broken randomly as the meat cleaver smashed through them, so you must chew each bite with care and precision lest your mouth become like a hunted whale. Take them out before we cook them? Preposterous, the bones contain the ~flavor~

Everytime they order fish they ask "why do you eat so slow? Do you hate fish???"

The reason you have to sear beef is because the outside can be covered in bacteria, for mince/ground meat/chicken the bacteria is all throughout the meat and that's why you have to cook it all the way through.
