Me, eating fried eggs with runny yolks just the way I like them (I LOVE quiches too)

I'm basically the opposite of you, I'll eat pretty much anything other then fermented raw meat or canned insects; buuut food to me is basically just a nuisance, like brushing teeth or doing laundry. I would drink only soylent for the rest of my life if it was feasible but it's not.

Huh, I'm the same way.

Edit: I should specify, I'm from /all

I'm pretty adverse to fermented, pickled or spicy. Anything in the kimchi universe, big no thanks.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago

I honestly don't mind fermented vegetables, I really like kimchi as well but it's hard to find the good stuff in North America. Fermented meat on the other hand is just... it fills me with dread.

I don't like the yolk of hard boiled eggs either. but, you can put the egg in a tube sock and spin it really fast like a centrifuge, and it will mix the yolk into the white and you can eat the entire thing and it just tastes like the white, but it has the yolk mixed in

[–] [email protected] 0 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Thanks! However, I've heard that the yolk is actually unhealthy because it contains a lot of cholesterol. I don't really see a benefit to eating the yolk, so I just throw it out when I eat boiled eggs, which is infrequent anyway.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago) (1 children)

it does have cholesterol in it, but studies have shown that it doesn't impact blood cholesterol levels very much at all. saturated fat is what does that

the yolk is where like 80% of the nutrients and all of the protein is. the white is 90% water. I don't like the texture either, but the yolk is my favorite part of fried eggs, and soft-boiled eggs

arghhhhh! ok, I will try that method shared above. thank you :)

To me, cooked onion is delicious and enhances most meals. Raw onion has an incredibly unpleasant crunch and ruins anything it's in.

Gristle, or fatty meats with tendons. 🤮

Beans, I hate pretty much everything about beans, taste texture, they look gross and smell gross.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 months ago

Sweet vegetables. Anything that is unambiguously a savory main course plant, but has some sugariness to it. Peas, carrots, sweet potatoes, turnips, beets, etc. I can eat them, they're just even more work than most food (I agree with the other commenter who said that food in general is just a chore like brushing your teeth, although really good food is basically a neutral experience for me, where the enjoyment is about worth the effort)

Oh I guess now that I think about it maybe there are exceptions, like I think a lot of people would consider red onions sweet but I am fine with those. I think it needs some sourness or sharpness to offset the sweetness, the problem is if it's just sweet + savory and not much else.

Ketchup, musstard, mayo, yogurt, vinegar, msny sauces, most drressings that aren't just oil and spices

"Are you sure? Won'tt it be dry?" is what I get whenever I order food.

Seafood / Piss

Soft-oily. Avacado anything is right out for me. Mayo on almost everything is gag-inducing. Tripe has a deeply unpleasant texture, even when it's in something that's otherwise enjoyable (like tripe congee).

It's taken a while, but I've managed to expand the foods that I enjoy fairly widely, but I still mostly live off plain yogurt, frozen berries, raw oats, and almonds. Any time I go out to an 'ethnic' restaurant, I try to have something new and different. So far, one of the best choices has been zurek (a sour/fermented rye-based Polish soup with uncured sausage and egg.).

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago

Pretty much everything. I mostly just eat chicken, rice, fries, bread and industrialized shit. I also eat some other stuff if I prepare it myself in different ways than others would (for example, I can eat meat but only if its very well done, with absolute no pink in it - and also no fat)

zucchini, yellow squash, eggplant. they all trigger my gag reflex
