That guy that performed his own appendectomy.

I would say I do enjoy food, but I probably don’t have the broadest palate there is. I very much prefer cooked food over frozen or other read-to-eat stuff … hence the regular ordering of food.

It is only when I’m actually cooking that I’ll eat the same food for several days. Usually I just cook something easy like a bunch of pasta and my dad’s custom sauce. Takes like 40 minutes and I’ll have food for 3 days, that kind of justifies it. But more fancy meals only very rarely make it over my effort/taste ratio.

Well, you should practice the basic skill of reading, because I didn’t say any of that. I can cook and I never said not being able to cook is in any way desirable, just that I don’t enjoy it and thus I avoid it.

If you’re trying to be clever edge lord, at least try to get a basic understanding of what the other person is saying. And maybe don’t try to make the same poop joke 3 times in a row.

Could be, maybe the ant is just doing it recreationally. But it sure as hell isn’t a defining trait of theirs.

Nah, that would be food.

Yeah, the it’s not getting funnier on your 3rd try. But I appreciate the attempt.

No she’s not qualified, the Groom of the Stool is a very prestigious position.

I have your mum regurgitate it in my mouth.

No it isn’t. Whales and birds sing … it’s a hobby.

Yeah, tell that to the people that keep telling me how “good of a stress relief” cooking is after I already said I don’t enjoy it. Seems they need the awareness more than I do.

I have no work addiction. It’s just that I don’t hate my professional work. So I’d rather work my job than work in the kitchen. I don’t think that’s that strange.

I’m sure it is if you enjoy it in the first place.

My point was about knowing what you’re putting into your body, knowing how it was sourced and prepped. Dining out is at least three layers of abstraction from that knowledge.

I see what you mean. I’m in Europe where restaurants and food are generally better regulated. Switzerland specifically has very strict laws for labelling the origin of meat, for example. A lot of the non-chain restaurant will source their ingredients locally. I don’t think the quality is much different than buying the expensive ingredients from the super market.

I guess the best option (health-wise) is only buying fresh produce from the farmers market and such, but that requires a whole other level of effort in the shopping department (and I don’t enjoy shopping either).

I mean yes. But I also absolutely love good food. Eating it though, not making it. My sense of taste/smell is not the issue.

I sincerely asked, and I assume you are similarly sincere in asking.

Right, but I don’t really know how to explain why you don’t like something. It doesn’t doesn’t appeal to me. It’s not fun. I don’t care about playing with knives (I hated woodworking in school, btw).

understanding the underlying physics and chemistry at every step

Yeah, that aspect is somewhat interesting, I would definitely consider reading a book about it. Trying to learn by own practical experience in this day and age seems like a bit late to the party, though.

In the end, cooking is just an ends to a means of eating.

Also, garbage in, garbage out on every level. This is stuff you’re putting in your body.

So tired of hearing this dumb fuck argument. Ordering food =/= fastfood. The amount of people that seem to think their little bit of homecooking can compete with professional chef’s is laughable.

Well, yeah.

A bit of a broad question. But I can assure that almost any activity makes me happier than cooking. It’s one of my least favourite chores.

That’s fair enough. I have better things to spend my time on than cooking. To each their own.

Have you been to primary school? We all got to try out instruments there … and some people, including me, really shouldn’t have access to them.
