"Why is breitbart bad" is kind of on a similar level to "why is stormfront controversial" I think most people already know and if they don't it's because they don't want to know.

Shyrka posted:Going out to restaurants you haven't visited before with your friends is cool and good. Even if it turns out the place isn't actually great, how else are you going to find out? Send one member of the group alone the day before to scout it out? What if their tastes are different from everyone else's? Genuinely, I really really hate trying new food. I hate almost every food I have ever tried in my life. I have basically the same phobic reactions that an arachnophobe has around spiders, except that I'm expected to eat the spider. Most of the time I just can't. Which is then awkward and embarrassing, because of course I look like a massive baby because I won't even try the food. But I can't, no matter how much I know it's ridiculous, I just can't do it. If I get as far as actually eating, I get immediate impulses to spit out what's in my mouth, now, and if I resist that impulse my body will use my gag reflex and potentially vomiting to stop me from consuming it. On the extremely rare occasions where I find I can eat the food I've been served, this doesn't turn out to be a lovely new experience, most of the time I'm just relieved that I haven't massively embarrassed myself once again in front of other people, and I'll still feel sick from fear for the following few hours. I'll force myself to eat the absolute minimum I could possibly eat so I can pretend I'm full (when in reality of course, I've completely lost my appetite before the first bite). Of course, any attempt to talk about this with people usually evokes mockery (as I expect I might get now), because of all things to have a phobia of, I'm scared of loving food, and what sort of functional adult is scared of trying new food? So it's something I can't reveal to most people, and instead forces me down the route of just saying I don't feel well if there's nothing on the menu I am confident I can eat without humiliating myself.

How about we just let people eat what they want without forcing them to try things ? Is that hard?

That sounds tremendously shite tbh. I'm terrified of stinging insects which makes summer a bit difficult but I'd definitely take that over being unable to eat new food. E: Also being more than about 10 feet off the ground.

Cornish have a version of goy for 'outsiders'. Emmit... though it is derogatory. It's funny, and almost exclusively used by racist Londoners who have bought massive estates in Cornwall and live on them 2 weeks a year.

This reminds me. I work for one of the heath trusts here in Northern Ireland and there is a team in the organisation that is dedicated to trying to reduce instances of old people having falls. To be fair, I wouldn't have guessed that dealing with the consequences of old people having falls costs so much in terms of hospital bed occupancy and that but there you go. Anyway, these people launched a campaign across the organisation to tackle this problem. They made desktop publishing style ads and there were big posters put up in all the hospital premises and everyone who uses a computer was treated to a screensaver of it. They had decided to call elderly inpatients deemed to be at risk of falls "falling stars" and had them wearing loving yellow star badges and had big yellow stars put up above their beds

For example, he once sieved a packet of pasta/dried sauce so he just got the dried pasta. He would also walk 2 miles to a McDonalds for a Big Mac with tomato sauce, nothing else on it. With dozens of fast food places around us. He eventually got around to trying new stuff, but on his own terms, so don't let anyone force you to eat anything you don't want to.

This sounds horrific and I'm not going to mock you for something that is obviously having a massive negative impact on your life, but it's also not what the original situation was about, at least as I interpreted it. It was more the type of people who automatically refuse to try anything new because it's new, not because there's a phobia. Anecdote =/= data, but there does seem to be a correlation between people who won't eat rice/hummus/carbonara because it's 'foreign muck' and those who think foreign people are also 'foreign muck'. Funny food story: someone I know spent years having a hissy fit if a red pepper went anywhere near his food. One day he commented that he didn't know how we could eat red peppers raw with dip, because didn't that burn our mouths? Turns out he had never eaten red pepper, but had assumed it was just a bigger Scotch Bonnet chili pepper. Lady Demelza fucked around with this message at 20:32 on Apr 19, 2019 |

My favourite thing about them though is that the absolute worst kind of roast dinner is reserved for Christmas day. Have you ever had, like, a good one? I knew a turkish guy at uni who felt that way but that's because literally everything he ate had piles of spice in it so yeah I get they'd seem bland in that case but you can absolutely do all aspects of a roast in such a way that they taste good.

Our house does real good roasts. Two tips - season the gently caress out of whatever needs seasoning, and use semolina to get your roast potatoes nice and crispy.

Darth Walrus posted:Our house does real good roasts. Two tips - season the gently caress out of whatever needs seasoning, and use semolina to get your roast potatoes nice and crispy. My suggestion was if you're doing meat with it you want it to be quite fatty because otherwise it dries out. I think a lot of people go for lean meat and it comes out like a biscuit. For roast potatoes my grandma used to do them in parts, you take them out midway through and ruffle them with a fork. Also beef fat makes them taste best but you might be able to substitute it for vegetable oil and seasoning, maybe something like garlic would go well with them. If you're wanting to save how much you use you can also re-strain your fat and reuse it. Just put it in a bowl in the fridge until you want it next.

I don't resent those people, they're speaking from their own experiences and don't have a reference to understand mine. But I can tell sometimes they assume I must be exaggerating or lying, and at times I feel anxious about what they might think of me even if they don't mock me to my face.
