Homemade vegan Spaghettios

"Due to the spices I used, the flavor is only vaguely reminiscent of spaghettios, but the texture is definitely similar!"

I thought people might get a chuckle from my cake disaster. So many things went wrong but the most visible is that I made the wrong frosting for creating a design on the top and then just went "gently caress it!" and did what I could:

The stock needs to be blended a hell of a lot better, but otherwise that doesn't look terrible

I started trying to draw the schematic of an opamp on it. Then things started to go very wrong.

About the only success in my frosting is that people can go, "Oh, I can kind of see it!" :v:

One thing that a lot of people have to get over with food is that a lot of dishes(especially restaurant dishes, but just generally any time someone else is cooking for you) may have one or two ingredients in them that you may not typically like, but when you eat everything together it tastes great and you don't even notice that one thing you thought you didn't like. Or even better, the dish ends up showing you a way that certain ingredients can be prepared that you actually do like.

Sushi probably is the cuisine that taught me this. Sushi always has at least several different ingredients in it, and you're not supposed to focus on this one or that one, just pop it in your mouth and experience it all at once, as intended. There's really no such thing as tentatively eating a piece of sushi, you go all in or you don't eat it at all. It helps develop the ability to just say "gently caress it I'm tasting this with an open mind".

Food is a blend of ingredients that taste better together is the sort of thing that's really only a revolutionary idea to picky or mono eaters.

Like my sister, who preferred divided plates and--when faced with a normal, single-area plate--would create elaborate systems of leverage and barriers to prevent liquid from one side--probably loose corn--from getting into another side--fake mashed potatoes--and gravy from the meat from mingling with either. Peas wouldn't touch her plate, she wouldn't and won't eat green.

Now, imagine a bunch of mashed potatoes, corn, peas, and meat all jumbled together with gravy. Sounds loving amazing, right? She would literally yell at you if you subjected her to such a torment. She would sooner collect bags of dog feces from the park and spoon the collected, noxious paste into her mouth than even sit at the table with the horror of "food touching."

Oh yea, ideally its something you learn by the time youre like 8 or 10 years old. If its a revolutionary thing and you're in your 20's, that's a problem.

I mean, I wouldn't want to just mix all that poo poo together either but I wouldn't whine about it merely touching. They're is a pretty large middle ground between demanding sperate plate sections and eating everything out of a blender.

This is how I eat if you replace bowl with my mouth.

Serious post ladling anything is going to look like poo poo without plating skills and plating skills are about the last thing I''m worried about when cooking but I'm also not taking pictures of my food.

The greatest problem with that stew is making a tomato and grain stew and feeling the need to equate it to vegan spaghettios.

I just have one of those emergency showers that you see in factories, but it pours lukewarm cream of mushroom soup out instead of water.

At a glance I thought the olives formed a swastika and was kinda relieved for a second, because then there's a reason.

Anyway, if there was an olive swastika on that spread of beige, at least all you fuckers would finally understand the importance of rules and regulations regarding pizza and assorted doughs.

more like spaghettilumps

(I enjoyed meat substitutes and certain faux-meat/dairy/egg things when I was vegetarian and vegan a long time ago but if I revisited that diet now, I'd emphasize vegetables and stuff on their own as opposed to TVP and soy nuggets and poo poo, you know?)

They don't understand what the gently caress a 1/4 Pounder w/Cheese is...

Anyway, I have a friend who is of the "food can't touch each other" variety. Not so much a picky eater in regards to what's on the plate, just picky that it cannot loving touch, ever. And she eats each item completely before moving to the next. And she's from Ohio. I kinda thought there was tons of food touching/mixing going on at those church basement gatherings, but I guess she missed out or something.

I'm curious as to what triggers a gag reflex/food aversion to raw vegetables and certain textures, I don't have any of that but my husband does and it's frustrating sometimes. I've managed to cook things so they have a better texture (onions cooked until the crunch is gone [but he eats apples and it's like the same texture??], homemade kale chips, marinating and dehydrating zucchini slices into chips, etc.) but I don't get poo poo like how he dislikes tomatoes but eats pizza or enjoys my chili that's full of tomato and peppers???? like I know certain things literally make him nauseous or throw up but I can't understand it personally :(

thank gently caress for kale chips tbh I don't think he'd eaten anything green in the decade before we met

e: or like he won't test pasta by eating it and can't handle plain/just buttered pasta (gotta have the ol shakey cheese on it but I add spices and poo poo to it at least) but he'll eat ramen noodles sautéed in soy sauce and garlic??? they're the same texture! augh!

For me at least it has partially to do with my Autism, I'm lucky that my condition is fairly mild in most regards but I do suffer from adverse reactions to certain sensations and textures, especially when it comes to food, although I have definitely been working on improving the variety of foods I'll eat

Childhood trauma, in my case. Ruined tomatoes for me forever.

Had something similar occur to me as a kid with zucchini, was served fried zucchini and since I had never seen it before I thought they were chicken nuggets so I grabbed one and took a big bite and well wasn't expecting the texture zucchini has, so I ended up barfing from that, my grandpa got really mad at me for that, that experience kept me from eating zucchini for about a decade, kinda ironic that these days I really like fried zucchini
