/ck/ - Food & Cooking

So I have to go on a diet but I can't stand the taste of any fruit, I just can't. What can I do?

Why are they so fucking perfect, bros???

Get in here and defend your favorite fruit.

Why are most fruits in the US so bland while the bread is sweet? Apples, bananas, pears all taste like wet paperboard.

For me, its any kind of fruit

this is the worst post maybe ive ever seen on here
>chicken wings
You can sauce them anyway you want fried chicken is always good always.
>burritos
Its a simple container for w/e tasting filling you want to put in it...
>most pizza
the fuck is wrong with cheese and bread and sauce and toppings? If you dont like pizza something is wrong with you honestly
>chicken Caesar salad
Salty chicken with some greens and coutrons/cheese? Sure its basic but I dont think anyone rates it highly anyway...
>pasta Alfredo
A good mushroom alfredo sauce served on properly cooked pasta is great
>chili
Now you have gone too far. Slow cooked meat in a spicy flavour packed sauce is overrated?
>Thanksgiving dinner
sure if the cook is terrible and uses the little turkey temp popper and "gravy magic" combined with powdered potatoes. A legit turkey dinner is amazing
>burgers
how can they be overrated? some burgers like a mcdonalds basic cheeseburger is universally known to be shit while others are loved.

the worst post ive seen on CK in a long time...
Anyway overrated food?
Im going to go with fruit as a whole. Far too sweet overall and honestly provides very little nutrition. A chili pepper has way more vitamins than an orange. Its not really cheap either

Have you ever just lived on fruit ? How would you know ?

Why dont you eat more fruits anon? Theyre amazing!

Why do fruit flavoured candies and drinks and such so rarely taste like the fruit they're trying to emulate? The only ones that come close are green apple, orange and lemon. The rest just taste like some arbitrary sweet shit they decided to call whichever fruit.
-Grape flavoured anything tastes nothing like actual grapes.
-Watermelon flavoured anything tastes nothing like actual watermelon.
-Mango flavoured things usually taste like cleaning solution.
And while I've heard they're supposedly real, I've never been able to get my hands on a 'Blue raspberry'.

Whats the thinking behind coming up with some arbitrary chemical flavour, and deciding to market it as 'Grape'.

I LOVE ALL FRUIT

What's the best way to

Anyone else hate fruit?

I've always hated sweet sickly stuff. It tastes like pure diabetes. Even as a kid I hated candy and preferred chocolate. The texture of everything but bananas is also horrible.

I like savoury stuff and bitter stuff. Earthy root vegetables. Traditional English ale. Strong coffee.

I tried forcing myself to eat fruit but all I've found tolerable are clementines, blueberries, and raspberries. Starting to get sick of smoothies too which was my go-to trick.

sports candy
Medjool dates are like caramels.

I've always disliked non-chocolate candy. It's just sugar and citric acid. These days, I usually make whole food desserts, with no extracted sugars or oils. Chocolate nicecream is one of my faves.

Why is fruit so underrated? If someone just went and invented fruit today, they would be considered the steve jobs of food.

I've always disliked non-chocolate candy. It just makes me frustrated I'm not eating the fruit it's imitating. Sports candy is best candy.

I've never liked candy without food value, and stuff that can be made any day of the year with shelf stable ingredients doesn't appeal to me much.

I like fruit. I make all sorts of fruit sweetened desserts.

What's the best sports candy?

what is the best kind of fruit?

I also eat ripened plant ovaries.

All right, boys. I'm looking for a cheap, nutritious, and most importantly filling breakfast meal plan.

I tried greek yogurt with granola and various fruits, but I'm usually hungry again by 10am.
