/ck/ - Food & Cooking

Why are most people so unimaginative about food?

I was receiving a friend at home and shes vegetarian. I wasnt prepared for that so I make pic related, which is just bread topped with cheese, tomato sauce, whatever I had at the fridge and baked at the oven. Pretty Basic stuff, but It blew her mind. She said to me that she never thought about using bread as a base for a quick pizza thing and would be doing it for now on.
That got me thinking why are people uncapable of doing simple stuff so on their own
