When i was younger, i optimized it and chose the order based on how much i can tolerate said food. The hardest to eat parts first, as at the beginning of a meal I’m hungriest and that can more easily overide some unsuitability and the easiest to eat parts last when the hunger is no longer pushing to eat.
Nowadays, if it wouldn’t be that annoying to wash the blender, I’d just blend everything and drink it. Daily eating is annoying enough already.
Wow. Very much the same. I always ate in order of texture, from worst to best. Now my favorite meals are things I generously call “burrito bowls”, when they’re just a bunch of stuff that tastes good together, mixed together.
The Jetsons promised me single pills that were full meals. Where are my meal pills?
Yeah, still waiting those meal pills or at least all in one superfood.
I know there’s Huel, but it does seem to get some pushback and I can’t figure out is it legitimate or not. Like whatever it’s just based on emotional relationships to food and most people unable to eat the same thing more than few times in row or is it actually legitimately missing some crucial nutrients and would cause issues in the long term.
I “eat” huel meal replacement shakes for like 20-50% of my meals depending on how busy I am at any given time. They’re functional as food, and the caffeine ones are super convenient as they replace breakfast and hot coffee. It is by far and away the most boring food you will ever “eat” though, and moving to a liquid calorie diet can cause some digestive discomfort. Especially if you dont get enough fiber, which is statistically likely as the vast majority of people dont get enough fiber.
That’s good to know. I’ve never really eaten food for the emotional factor and have absolutely no issues eating the same thing in row for years, already been doing it for my breakfast for my whole life.
Fiber tip is good, probably have to supplement it then.
Who are you and get out of my mind now. I don’t like when others type what I’m thinking.
But before you do, don’t forget to talk about those unbearable flavors/textures that can’t absolutely be in the plate because if you find them in your mouth by mistake, they feel like a personal attack against your tastebuds.
Also, it’s not always flavour AND texture. There are forbidden textures with pleasant taste (onions) and pleasant textures with forbidden taste (broccoli).
Primarily it was fatty parts or ligaments of meat. Basically everything besides lean meat. It did create somewhat of retching reaction.
It did reduce over the years and as i can choose what type of meat i eat myself nowadays, it’s not as big of an issue.
Biggest issue is generally efficiency. Any food that requires way too much effort to eat isn’t really worth it. Like chicken wings, that stuff is primarily bones and ligaments, minimal edible tissue. Completely pointless food. Chicken breast, much better, it’s primarily lean meat.
Not only limited to meats. Like oranges, the peeling of those makes those worthless to eat.
So relatable. I eventually went vegan, but as a kid this was me. The only kind of meat I’d tolerate was chicken. When my parents make some kind of steak, I’d cut all the fatty parts off the meat and end up only eating a few tiny bits. Then they would get upset because I didn’t eat enough of it.
I never could tolerate the chewy fat. Which makes it all the weirder when meat-eaters eat beef and go, “You don’t know what you’re missing.” Yeah I do, I’m missing a texture I can’t stand, and that’s a win in my book.
Curious, how do you feel about mushrooms? I find the texture similarly revolting, but with a rubbery texture added in. Then the smell when they are cooking… it’s like somebody’s cooking up dirt.
I have thought about veganism, but then i go to the store and see the price and meager choice with vegan replacements and give up.
It seems to be easier to just take the cheaper and more abundant base ingredients to cover the bodies base needs.
Luckily unflavored chicken breast and lean cuts of pork(heavily depends on the quality) are amongst the cheapest meats and can be bought in bulk during a sale. Adding in some carb source(potatoes, rice, buckwheat, pasta, quick oats), some greens(paprika, tomatoes, cucumbers, onions, garlic), some dairy products and the basic nutritional needs seem to be covered well enough and cheaply.
As for mushrooms, honestly i can’t recall when i ate those last time. I remember from childhood that I really didn’t like those, yeah those were kinda odd to eat.
But as an adult i seem to have been subconsciously avoiding those.

Thank you for the information.
