Todayβs Ask PHlemmy: What's one food that you cannot understand why people enjoy?
I usually have a "don't knock it until you try it" stance when it comes to food, but... okay, this is a stretch, but meal replacement drinks.
I don't think people enjoy it. I don't think anyone would really opt for it instead of a, IDK, freshly cooked lechong paksiw over steaming hot rice or whatever tempting meal of your imagination.
I just can't comprehend it. Why would anyone enjoy it, masochism? a desire to achieve the ultimate in asceticism? an acquired taste?
Just the sound of it is disgusting enough
It takes a hell of an effort to mix properly, it tastes horrible (and you're discouraged from adding sugar into the mix, only fruits if you have access to a blender), and it has an icky texture.
Yeah, it's worse than it sounds.
Why not just blend fruits then if there's already access to a blender, at least that's soothing and delicious. I swear some people just create the most nonsensical stuff just for the heck of it.
You know the explanation I got when I asked a similar question? Nutrients. Kesyo ma-kukumpleto daw nung drink na yun yung nutrients na nakukuha mo from food. It's also part of a pretty low-calorie diet (aimed for losing weight), so I don't think taste is of particular importance when making it.
This is the soylent stuff, right? I dunno man, ever since I've seen the "soup" eaten on the Matrix, I said to myself to never just go full meals on juice. There's just something about being able to chew and enjoy your food (as well as the variety). I get it, it has everything the body needs, but tasting the way we want it? surely there's no harm in adding that (most of the time).
EDIT: That being said, I've had a ton of fun preparing oat meal in various ways (sweet, savory, wtf, etc.)
Yung nabili ko hindi yung soylent, Nutrilife or some MLM-sounding shit. Di naman na din ako umulit after I bought one week's worth of that shit. Di na rin ako bumalik sa gym na yun, hahahaha!
Pucha, gusto kong pumayat via exercise, hindi dahil sa gutom!
Oof. Must be really bad then. But as you said, the itch to find out just how bad is scratching at me rn. LOL
Not a food, but the culture, hobby or whatever: MUKBANG
I don't know why many Filipinos enjoyed it, and its ASMR doesn't entertain me, in fact it's disgusting.
buro/burong isda :(
it literally looks and tastes like vomit :(
Same. It smells like vomit too. I don't get it.

I've found another nostalgia-invoking anime song, which is Snow Halation from the anime Love Live! School Idol Project. S1E2 palang ako so I have to restrain myself from playing it on repeat or else I'll diminish the significance and ruin the experience for me when I get to the Snow Halation scene, whenever that is.
Puro na lang ata deaths/accidents/horror yung nasa auto-downloads ko (I listen during commute or to fall asleep) I've started dreaming about them π
Medyo nakakatakot? I wanna dream about eating delicious food and cute stuff, not that. I think I need to horror cleanse π it's gonna be difficult tho. I myself can't believe I think I need a break from that.
"Ngano gipilo man nimo nang wantawsan na bag-o? Bawal mana ipilo kay di na dawaton!"
"Kinsay nag-ingon? Taga-pesbuk?!"
"Mao man ako nabasahan kay nagtrending mana."
