One time I talked to an acquaintance about why she hadn’t tried the best taco truck that I love that is literally next to her house. She was like ‘I’m from the Midwest, flavor is just not for me, I know I won’t appreciate it’ and I laughed so much and I appreciated her self-awareness.

I then interviewed her about her fear of flavor and grease in an ethnographic exercise. I told everyone back home about it, and it was like telling them about aliens.

She then told me about how her favorite taco restaurant is this place I would totally never go to, and I finally understood why those places exist. Something for everyone I guess.

She said ‘the lack of flavor is just very comforting for me’ and I was so amazed to hear that, because everyone I’d met til then is a flavor maximalist

@skinnylatte@hachyderm.io this is my confusion when I had a chat with a colleague and she said she "just want to eat the same things and not have to think about food."

(I get bored after eating the same thing twice)

@geraineon I tell people I get annoyed if a *single meal* is not AMAZING and they get so confused. I think we have been spoilt by our homes

@skinnylatte@hachyderm.io when I have a single bad meal, I had to compensate by eating again 🤣

I get so mad too!
