My whole life I've been told how I'm too picky about foods. But when I started listing things that I do and don't like, I realized... I like chicken, I like fish, I like beef, I like pork, I like rice, I like pasta, I like white bread, I like dark bread. I like most vegetables if they're in a sandwich/hamburger or something similar. The only ingredient I can think of that I explicitly don't like are things like beans and peas and mushrooms.

So rather then being picky about foods, what I actually don't like are spices, and foods that are overly processed. If you put a bunch of ingredients into a pot and make some kind of baked dish or soup out of it, there's a 95% chance I'll hate it. But if you put literally just chicken and literally just rice into my plate, I'll think I'm in heaven. I am the reason the concept that "white people can't season their food" exists, because I love the taste of chicken and I love the taste of rice and fish etc etc. I like the taste of all kinds of foods, but when that taste is reduced with ambiguous processed and spiced flavors or sunken into the bottom of a pot of water and oils or something, it becomes unpalatable to me.

Photos of just rice with just chicken don't even seem to exist on the internet, it's all processed and spiced. Literally just put cooked chicken and rice on my plate and I'll absolutely love it.

Am I weird? Or is society the one that's weird? Why do people hate the taste of meat and need to process or spice it somehow?

I forgot about ketchup, that's the only thing that I think actually improves (some) foods. But even that I want to put on top of the food in small quantities, not have the food cooked with it. I need to be able to taste the clean food alongside the ketchup.

Also I forgot about potatoes (and fries) and eggs. Love them too. My favorite kind of mashed potatoes is the kind that looks the LEAST like a soup.

I can only assume  this is brain rot and they been fed  shit and probably not even cooked well for the majority of their life  and feel attacked when called out

Just plain meat is boring. It needs to at least be cooked in butter with thyme or something.

I may prefer when certain things are cooked with butter or salt or some kind of oil rather than just being heated up, and maybe my favorite mashed potatoes have milk on it or something, but I don't really cook myself so I'm not sure.

I also don't like most things alone. You could make a stretched argument that rice/potato/pasta is a "spice" for the meat, or the other way round, and therefore I'm the same as everyone else.

You can make different paragraphs without reddit-spacing, by pressing Enter once instead of twice. Look at the following 4 PARAGRAPHS, all without reddit spacing.
Reddit (/ˈrɛdɪt/) is an American social news aggregation, content rating, and forum social network. Registered users (commonly referred to as "Redditors") submit content to the site such as links, text posts, images, and videos, which are then voted up or down by other members. Posts are organized by subject into user-created boards called "communities" or "subreddits". Submissions with more upvotes appear towards the top of their subreddit and, if they receive enough upvotes, ultimately on the site's front page. Reddit administrators moderate the communities. Moderation is also conducted by community-specific moderators, who are not Reddit employees.[5] It is operated by Reddit, Inc., based in San Francisco.[6][7]
As of October 2023, Reddit is the 18th most-visited website in the world. According to data provided by Similarweb, 48.98% of the website traffic comes from the United States, followed by the United Kingdom at 7.06% and Canada at 6.9%.[6]
Reddit was founded by University of Virginia roommates Steve Huffman and Alexis Ohanian, as well as Aaron Swartz, in 2005. Condé Nast Publications acquired the site in October 2006. In 2011, Reddit became an independent subsidiary of Condé Nast's parent company, Advance Publications.[8] In October 2014, Reddit raised $50 million in a funding round led by Sam Altman and including investors Marc Andreessen, Peter Thiel, Ron Conway, Snoop Dogg, and Jared Leto.[9] Their investment valued the company at $500 million at the time.[10][11] In July 2017, Reddit raised $200 million for a $1.8 billion valuation, with Advance Publications remaining the majority stakeholder.[12] In February 2019, a $300 million funding round led by Tencent brought the company's valuation to $3 billion.[13] In August 2021, a $700 million funding round led by Fidelity Investments raised that valuation to over $10 billion.[14] The company then reportedly filed for an IPO in December 2021 with a valuation of $15 billion.[15][16] Reddit debuted on the stock market on the morning of March 21, 2024 with the ticker symbol RDDT.[17]
Reddit has received praise for many of its features, such as the ability to create several subreddits for niche communities,[18][19] being a platform for raising publicity for numerous causes,[20] and has grown to be one of the most visited websites on the Internet.[21] It has also received criticism for spreading misinformation.[22]

Some people think that you have to use a lot of spices or ingredients in a single dish to make it good or worthy.
What I've learned is that if the ingredients are of high quality, then you don't have to condiment them that much as they're already naturally tasty.
>If you put a bunch of ingredients into a pot and make some kind of baked dish or soup out of it, there's a 95% chance I'll hate it.
Sure, sometimes I'd rather eat a soup's ingredients by themselves, even if only boiled.
>Literally just put cooked chicken and rice on my plate and I'll absolutely love it.
Cooked in what way, boiled, grilled or roasted? Grilled's fine with just some salt and pepper, and maybe a little lemon juice.

Would you dislike video related then?

>>196218
>Just plain meat is boring.
It would depend on its type:
Pork chops for example don't need much seasoning: salt and pepper would suffice, and maybe paprika if you like spicy food.
But game meat, like boar or hare, would need more herbs and spices as their natural taste is much stronger than regular meat.
>It needs to at least be cooked in butter with thyme or something.
Olive oil's fine too if it's available to you. It also goes well with boiled potatoes, vegetables and pasta as is or with minced garlic.

This right here is a crime. Don't mix things into the food. You can probably serve them together as a set meal but don't mix them. Even if this is technically the correct proportion of ingredients and I would eat the whole plate, the fact that they're mixed together means that 90% of the taste of rice disappeared for me because the sauce is permeating everything and overpowers the rest.

That said, I might like it if I tried. It might be fine, but it may be another "you're sooo picky le-lmao".

So you're more of a keep it natural and simple type of guy when it comes to food then.
There's some places in Europe where their food is separate from condiments in dishes, though I can't remember which now. Belgium perhaps?
>>196265
That seems like more a quirk or preference since you keep it under control.
I have one when it comes to food: whenever I can I keep each ingredient apart, very much like a child, though like you I don't go crazy over it.

That's probably a good way to explain it: rather than being picky about natural foods, I'm picky about how you combine or process them. I want to proportion things how I feel like and taste all of the ingredients, but I get neither of those if they're already mixed by whoever cooked it, especially if they mixed a bunch of sauces and spices in it.

Vegetables especially don't work well with most things in my opinion. I'm not a big vegetable guy and wouldn't eat them on their own, but like some of them like cucumber and lettuce on sandwiches/hamburgers, and bellpepper is ok with some kind of curry. Carrots are weird because they're the opposite, I hate them on literally everything except when eaten by themselves.

Another thing I forgot about fruits and berries. I like apples and oranges and bananas and pineapples and strawberries and raspberries and blueberries and grapes and watermelon. But if you start putting them into anything other than maybe apple pie or yoghurt, you're about to make me turn away. The only fruit I can remember not being a fan of was kiwis.

Also cheese, wouldn't eat it by itself but on a sandwich or pizza it's great. One of my favorite things to eat: put tuna (literally just tuna, pic related, not some tuna sauce paste) and cheese inside brown bread sandwich, heat in the oven for ~10 minutes at ~200 degrees. It's somewhere in-between a hamburger and a sandwich. Had to stop eating it because I think eating 4 tuna sandwiches per day for a long time was messing up my body (in the "I'm dying" kind of way, not the "I'm getting fat" way), just a guess though. I like it so much that I once thought about posting a "cooking guide" with pictures about it here.
