/ck/ - Food & Cooking

Ever consider the reason is not about palate, but low cost, time efficiency, and lack of interest in being a "foodie"?
Its not about lack of maturity in all cases, its just we don't fucking care, and pursue other interests.
Eating simple shit in general makes a really well cooked plate or restaurant visit something special. In the same way having drinks on a weekend or special occasion only is more fun than getting drunk every goddamn day.
Take your pretentious opinions and shove them way up your asshole, you arrogant obnoxious piece of shit human.

Share some of your thoughts on it. Maybe with some critical thinking, you'll come up with the answer.

My 65 year old dad eats this way. It’s because he’s an alcoholic and three quarters of his ‘food budget’ is spent on alcohol. Maybe ur room mate is a heavy drinker?

>>14692939

My 70 year old roommate eats this way. It's because he was married for 50 years and his wife always cooked for him and then he got divorced. Also must have done all the housework because he's a slob who can't clean for shit.

>>14693263

It is almost definitely this. source: I'm unironically an alcoholic (although not currently in a state of active addiction, so what some might call a "dry alcoholic"). the idea is to get something cheap (more money for booze) that fills you up (kills the munchies so you can drink more), replaces the salt/electrolytes and other shit you're literally pissing away and takes little time or effort to prepare. (more time drinking - I can throw a sad shitty frozen pizza and/or some nuggets in the oven, set a timer and go back to getting fucking wasted)

>>14692961
I'd feel like absolute shit eating junk food every day doesn't matter how little I care about food masturbation or what time I have. I feel like these people aren't aware of rice cookers. I had to find out myself.

>>14692939
>being so autistic that he cares about what other people eat
It's not your body they're using to eat, so fuck off faggot.

>japanese dudes have black hair
yeah no shit

>>14693333
same

i once ate frozen pizza two days in a row and felt like total shit, couldn't even shit right

couple weeks later I made my own pizza from scratch and didn't even have a hint of feeling like shit

cooking is king

>>14693263
How the hell you end up with a 70yo roommate?

>Effectively cooks just for themselves
>Doesn't really know how to cook
>Doesn't want to waste money/food due to spoilage
>Cooks frozen shit cause it's easy and doesn't spoil

When I was living with family and I cooked everything was fine because I knew all the food would be eaten. Now that I love alone I struggle to use my fresh ingredients before they spoil. If I had no idea how to cook I'd probably go to frozen easy to make shit too.

>>14693423

>>14692961
This anon is right, though. I spend most of my time reading literature or playing soccer outside. There just isn’t enough time in the day, so I sacrifice time spent cooking to pursue my other hobbies and passions. Simple as. That being said, I eat healthy and avoid processed foods like the plague.

>tfw eat chicken and broccoli for most meals

>>14692939
this shit tastes great, you're just a gross moron.

>>14692961
yeah but processed stuff kids eat kills you slowly without exception. it's like eating garbage
you're far better off investing SOME amount of time in cooking and eating properly. you need to fucking eat to live after all. so why not do it properly
what else are you doing that takes priority over eating well

Nah bro, homeboy got a memory like an Elephant and he's strong as fuck. We rassle sometimes. It's fun. Rassling then pizza, beers, and sportscenter.

heard that OP i have and have had roomies that just eat piles of trash constantly. door dash every day. we're all cooks but theyre always bringing home cream pastas,fried chicken, packaged food, boxed food, chips, snacks, cereal.
they look at me like i'm judging them when i walk by with a plate of veggies and fruits. i'm not. i don't give a shit. i just like raw veggies like a nerd.

>>14693488
Do you salt them?
I need to do this

>>14693480
>like an Elephant and he's strong as fuck. We rassle sometimes. It's fun. Rassling then pizza, beers, and sportscenter.
Holy shit, please continue! I have a boner

>>14693507
That's about it bro. Apart from 'Rasslin Wednesday' we just go about our business.

>>14693517
dude, weak! you cannot lead off a story like that and end it with a dull thud.
lie to me, please?

>>14693519
I had to rassle my hardest because if he beat me he would pin me and say 'your meat hole needs a meat pole' then do stuff to me. I didn't eat pizza, and drink beer on the days I lost.

>>14693506

not always. i've definately been salting this week. but i quit drinking after 10 years so i'm craving some shit.

if you eat "right" stuff like cucumbers and carrots start to taste like sweet treats to you.

just dont overload your body with packaged foods and sweets. soda is the devil. anything with a barcode has the devil in it

its summer here and i DO enjoy a good plate of salted cucumber slices.

just eat food from the earth. learn to love hummus. go raw bell peppers in hummus and shit. it's tasty. make your own everything. make hummus. want ketchup? make some ketchup. grow a garden. learn plants. forage hunt and harvest. live well.

also it's cheap af compared to eating out. lol.

>>14692939
O-oh. my. g-g-GOD. YOU DID IT. SPELLED PALATE CORRECTLY. I C-CANT BELIEVE IT.
AFTER ALL THIS TIME, SEEING IT SPELLED EVERY WAY EXCEPT THE RIGHT WAY ON THIS FUCKING BOARD, YOU DID IT

I usually switch between cooking meals from scratch to making easy to make shit like chicken tenders, frozen pizza, and hot dogs on days when I am tired as fuck and don't want to deal with dishes.

On the plus side, cooking meals from scratch usually gives mean extra 2-4 days worth of food to eat for meals, so I usually cook 1-2 times a week and eat off that.

>>14693631
>compared to eating out

Hell yeah man. I was a fat idiot eating fast food 5 days a week, now I literally only cook. If i can incorporate raw veggies as a snack instead of processed shit I will reach god status like you.

Why did you quit drinking? How hard were you going?

>>14692961
>Ever consider the reason is not about palate, but low cost, time efficiency, and lack of interest in being a "foodie"?

Nah, they just have a shit palate and a kids mentality when it comes to feeding themself.

>>14693429
Huh?

>>14693429
Quit polposting in every thread.

I eat like this because I'm depressed and I never have the energy to cook an actual meal. I skip meals a lot too.

Typical pathetic attempt at gaslighting by rightwing edgelord.

>>14692961
Except none of those options are cost effective, especially frozen pizzas. They're also mostly empty calories. Better off just buying a can of tuna or sardines and some lettuce and spreading them out over the day and they'd cost a fraction of what nuggets, hot dogs, frozen pizza and ketchup would over time.
>Eating simple shit in general makes a really well cooked plate or restaurant visit something special
There's a big difference between eating bland foods and eating total garbage like OPs roommate. I doubt those kind of people could even stomach a tikka masala much less anything a Michelin star restaurant would serve.

>>14693987
It's the curse of "modern" life. The young millennials and zoomers didn't spend their early life eating dirt pies and playing in the mud. They didn't get a chance to develop immune systems so any deviation from their diets throws the body into chaos. Everyone I grew up with pre internet days can eat whatever the fuck they want and there are no "vinegar shits" or any of the other meme shit people claim happens if you touch any food besides plain chicken blessed by the prophet muhammad and a rabbi.

>>14692961
yikes

>>14692939
If that's all someone ate growing up then that's all they know. Not everyone had good parents who actually cooked good meals for their children

>>14698079
My mom couldn't cook for shit but I developed the taste for cooking and eat anything by my own I been cooking for the family (because I knew more recipes than my mom) in my house since I was 14. If they eat like that is not because their parents but because they are almost retarded

>>14692961
you are mentally ill

>>14694916
>even people who literally work out every minute of their waking life don't get fat from eating junk food.

I feel like you fucking retards are just being so fucking retarded to infuriate me specifically.

I knew a guy once who'd only eat chicken nuggets as well. He refused to even try anything else on the McDonalds menu, he'd only get the McNuggets, wouldn't attempt a Big Mac. Maybe he'd treat himself to some tendies if it's a special day

>>14693631

I ask him how he does that and he says "i like the way they taste"

Anybody too lazy and apathetic to a healthy diet has no interests other than vidya

I had a coworker that exclusively hate baloney sandwiches, big macs and calzone pizzas. Every single day. He was obviously a fat fuck.

>>14699380
Does he eat anything else or you have only seen him eating that? That looks like an 50 y/o life spawn

My cousin is 27 and asks for plain cheeseburgers at McDonalds, if they fuck up and accidentally leave a pickle on or those tiny cuts of onion he won't eat it cause "even if he takes them off he could still taste them"
He also likes what he calls steak, absolutely no seasoning, not even a slight dash of salt, fried to way beyond well done, like eating a fucking tire and he calls it delicious, don't forget the side of frozen french fries heated in a microwave without anything on.

So..h-he doesn't even cook them?

>>14699740
Did they have children?

>>14699756
had a hard time comprehending that kek. it's frozen fries meant to be fried or baked and he doesn't put anything on the fries like ketchup or salt

>>14699756
Sorry if that sentence had fucked up grammar, I meant they are store-bought frozen fries where he just takes a handful out of the bag they come in, put them on a plate and throws them in the microwave to heat up

>>14699925
So already fried and freezed or only the sliced ones that you still have to fry once defrost?

>>14699963
>>14699925
Either way your cousin is disgusting and it tells he never get a beating for being such a shit eater

>>14699963
The ones that are only cut, no coloration indication any previous cooking, puts them on a plate, sets the plate in the microwave while they are still frozen, straight from the freezer, and blasts them on whatever the max setting is.
So you just know they are a soggy mess when they come out of the microwave and goes hard as soon as they start cooling

>>14699972
Couldn't agree more, I get physically ill whenever I watch him eat.

>>14693631
>if you eat "right" stuff like cucumbers and carrots start to taste like sweet treats to you.
fuck there must be something wrong with me, I hear this all the time as the number one tip to get used to healthier food but it never works for me. I don't dislike veggies if they're seasoned I just prefer meat and starches. I've made myself eat veggies every meal for a month straight several times and I still struggle.

>>14700034
Gross he is still eating raw potatoes that way, too bad he is too old to slap some decency on the back of his head

>>14700058
You're supposed to cut out the refined sugar as well, not just eat vegetables every meal which is what every normal person does anyway.

>>14700122
Not an alcoholic medically speaking, in that I don't go through withdrawal when I don't drink for a few days or weeks.
But if I had a lifestyle that allowed it, fuck yeah I would drink every day.
I also don't look down on people who are alcoholics, they are living the dream.

You have to take the long view of history my young faggot.
We are supposed to be irresponsible, it is in our nature, selfishness is just as responsible for the achievements of mankind as selflessness.
Perhaps more so.

At home, he only eats that. He doesn’t even know how to turn on the oven or stove top

>>14700155
Well then tell him I say good luck on getting pass 40

>>14700168
He truly doesn’t care about his health. He has a history of seizures, and his doctor said that his seizures are likely triggered by alcohol. But my roommate still drinks a 12 pack of beer every other day. In the refrigerator, the only items he has in it are hot dogs, and beer. Nothing else. In the pantry? Hot dog buns

>>14700168
I know a 49 year old who eats like a child like OP's old roommate. His idea of actually cooking anything is tossing a can of corned beef hash into a pan, or boiling pasta only to throw a $1 can of chili on it. And yes, he is morbidly obese.

>>14700201
>His idea of actually cooking anything is tossing a can of corned beef hash into a pan, or boiling pasta only to throw a $1 can of chili on it.
My roommate doesn’t even know how to do that. Once I had heated up a frozen pizza and gave him a slice because I was full. He loved it, so I said to him, that those pizzas were on sale and he should go pick some boxes up. He said “yeah, maybe. Could you show me how to cook it?”. When I said the directions are right on the box, he looked discouraged, then went to the fridge and grabbed a beer.

Surprisingly he’s not obese. But he does have a little beer belly growing on him. Only 28 years old

>>14692939
I try to have some chicken or turkey and veggies everyday and some fruit, but if I’m watching sports I’ll have a Red Baron Supreme pizza while shitposting in /hoc/

>>14692939
It's not actually about palate. In most cases these people are afraid of trying new things because of unpleasant experiences when they were children, so they don't try new things as adults.

I’m making Manwich right now with a side of corn on the cob...

Is that bad?

>>14700387
Do you eat that exclusively or every day? If the answer is no. Then you are fine

>>14700631
I had that same meal a few weeks ago

>>14700640
You are fine buddy, but if you start to eat that everyday and refuse to eat another shit just because, then I will see you on this thread

>>14692939
I knew a guy like this. He had emotional/mental health issues from a rough childhood and was a scummy low life thug. Mainly ate fish sticks and tendies or the occasional fast-food burger.

I chalked it up to him being arrested in development due to childhood abuse and was emotionally locked into a childlike mindset. kinda sad if you ask me.

>>14699740
He's a religious nut which is probably why it took so long. He retired a few years ago so perhaps she couldn't stand him being around all the time. Old couples can be like that - fine when the husband is out of the house most of the day; not so great when they're constantly around each other.

Got got fucking wrecked by his old bitch though from what I can tell. He was a professional before he retired. Seems he's taken their house and now he's living in a share house with people a third of his age eating frozen pizzas and barely able to look after himself. I swear he's losing his mind too because he forgets to turn the stove off before going to bed and leaves the door unlocked all the time.
