At Korean places they do pigs feet, it's called Jokbal and it's really good!!! I have never tried the pickled stuff in the jar lol but love jokbal

What is it like??? Is it like a pork chop and firm or does it have tender fatty bacony gelatinous shit going on?
kimchiman85@reddit
Is more gelatinous but has a delicious sauce and some meat for texture.
mjc500@reddit
I’m intrigued
kimchiman85@reddit
If you can find a Korean Jokbal place near you, that’s not too expensive, give it a try.
It’s a little expensive here in Korea too because they make you order large portions.
radd_racer@reddit
I’m curious too. I happen to love bone marrow.
warden976@reddit
I had them in a Szechuan restaurant. I probably would have liked them more if they weren’t stewed mercilessly in green peppercorns. It was like wet wintergreen-flavored flab. That said, I’ll give them another try and order jokbal if I ever see it!

My family is from Quebec and my mom used to always make ragoût de patte de cochon (pig feet stew) at Christmas. The tender meat from the feet is made into meatballs in this nice gravy. Didn't smell good while she was making it but I always looked forward to it.

Historical_Koala5530@reddit
I could put a thick layer of seasoning on my chicken when I bake it, temp it when it's done, and the outside still can look pink. It's a baking thing not a whatever this dude did thing.
(How I bake my chicken so all y'all know I dont do what this guy did) -brine chicken for least 30 minutes -pat dry and rub seasoning (usually garlic powder, salt, pepper, onion powder, Italian seasoning, and crushed red pepper) -bake at 450 for 15 mins(or until it temps out)
Immatool666@reddit
450? What, you cook in a pottery kiln?
Historical_Koala5530@reddit
When baking most meat (usually pork and poultry but it'll vary on whole or cut. steak I prefer slow and low after a nice sear) high temperature with a shorter cook time equals a moister meat, brining it beforehand makes it ultra tender, and always let your meat sit out for a minimum of 30 minutes to bring it up to room temp for an even cook and let rest for a minimum of 10 after cooking to lock the juices back in- I'm a cook
Immatool666@reddit
How does that address a cooking temp hot enough to melt zinc?
Historical_Koala5530@reddit
Food science. Chicken isn't zinc. Higher heat locks in moisture, shorter time prevents over cooking. The trick isn't to cook it for a certain amount of time but until it temps out to 160(technically 165 but after you take meat off heat it cooks for a few more minutes and will raise a few extra degrees. Go over 165 you risk drying it out or burning it. Some people do 425 for 30 mins, I do 450 for 15-20, or longer if it doesn't temp out after that.
Immatool666@reddit
Sure chicken isn't zinc, chicken is far more sensitive to heat.
165 internal temp? That's burnt baby burnt.
450 for 15 minutes? WTF, are you trying to make charcoal?
Food science? I don't think you know what that means.
Historical_Koala5530@reddit
Sir. The proper internal temp for any poultry(chicken, turkey, duck, ECT) is 165F, this is literally the safety guidelines to ensure any and all foodbourn pathogens are killed in the meat, you get baked/roasted chicken at a restaurant? It was cooked to 165.
You can try and tell me what you think you know all you want, but food is literally my job and has been since I was 16. (No not McDonald's, internships at high grade restaurants in my area and a 2 year college prep culinary course offered to me in junior year.) Truly don't believe me, feel free to use your fingers to head over to Google.
Immatool666@reddit
Oh, Farenheit, sorry I thought we were in the 21st century. Naturally when you said degrees without a qualifier I assumed you were using the world standard.

This is how my dad eats. He views food solely as fuel and will steam vegetable, meat, fish, any food really etc and eat it sans salt, pepper, or any seasoning of any kind. He steamed us scallops and brussel sprouts in the Sam span a few months ago and i still shiver thinking about that meal.
Olivia_Bitsui@reddit
I’m weeping about those poor wasted scallops ;-(
lemonleaff@reddit
I remembered people like your dad while i was cooking the other day. It made me realize that it's sort of like a super power for them. The mental fortitude to just eat so blandly because it's just fuel anyway is astounding to me.
0tacosam0@reddit
Your Dad wasted those scallops 😭
LaughingBeer@reddit
I think everyone can view food this way if they want to. I've gone back and forth on it for extended periods of time in my life. I especially see food as only fuel when I'm working out a lot. I know the macro balance I need, so I'll eat bland food if I'm being lazy about it to just get to the correct macros for the day.
jpparkenbone@reddit
I am on a diet and am moving more that direction but that really only applies to the amount I'm eating, not the flavors.
gears50@reddit
Were your parents good cooks? Don't know anyone with this mindset who grew up eating delicious food.
LaughingBeer@reddit
Yes, my mom is a very good cook. The first time I switched to "it's just fuel" mindset was hard, but it was tied to working out so I had a goal associated with it. However, now I can change my mindset about it pretty much at will and stick with it, until I decide to switch back.
DallasRangerboys@reddit
Very similar to how my mind used to becoming. It feels like a superpower
lemonleaff@reddit
I don't think i can do it, which is why i think it's borderline a super power lol. If I'm eating clean for exercise/gym reasons, i will still make it yummy and not bland. Paprika and pepper on pan-fried chicken breast, steamed ground chicken in cabbage wraps with grated ginger in the mix, etc. Adding these spices is barely any effort but will boost my motivation so much.
Kooky-Onion9203@reddit
Yeah, bland food is revolting to me. If I actively dislike something, I won't be motivated to cook or eat it and I'll often just starve myself until I make worse decisions like binging junk food or going to McDonald's. I need to make healthy food delicious to get myself eating healthily.
dylanholmes222@reddit
Well I cannot, I will need to be almost starving to eat whatever, it’s so fucking hard for me to bulk, even maintaining my weight is difficult as I’m so busy with little time to cook well and eating out is too expensive
kanemane727@reddit
Mental fortitude? Brother, I call it mental illness.
CrackinBacks@reddit
I can eat chicken breast with no seasonings all day long because I love the taste of chicken. Same with some sea food. But I realize it tastes infinitely better with some extra flavor.
It’s not something I have to grit my teeth and hunker down to enjoy. I just love chicken
lemonleaff@reddit
That's totally a super power, or at least a positive trait for the apocalypse. In a post-apocalyptic world, the rest of us can only hope that our taste buds transition quickly.
vamppirre@reddit

Sage1969@reddit
Unironically I envy him, I exercise a lot and struggle to gain weight & eat cheap. If I could just rawdog steamed veggies and boiled chicken life would be a lot easier
OhJeezer@reddit
Being poor changed how I viewed food. I was thankful for the energy and didn't really care if it was as tasty as it could be. I still find myself eating super plain foods like that when I am struggling with my mental health and just trying to get through the day. It's better than nothing!
cave18@reddit
I get it tbh. For some people eating is a chore
HerrBerg@reddit
It's a chore because they make it a chore.
dhstowe@reddit
Well if you're into weightlifting like myself it can often feel like a chore to get enough calories and/or protein every day. I find myself shoveling down meat and carbs at the end of the day when I'm not even hungry
HerrBerg@reddit
But I'll bet you actually enjoy food with seasoning instead of robotically eating everything completely plain. If you were lifting to the point of not being able to enjoy food, then you'd better be doing it as a job otherwise that's just a form of disorder.
FromTheGulagHeSees@reddit
I get it too but cooking bland food makes it even more of a chore to eat lol
Crackheadwithabrain@reddit

soupinmymug@reddit
Eating disorders or childhood trauma can do that to you. Certain medications too
JennyWillz@reddit
Can you elaborate more about how childhood trauma contributes to that mindset?
soupinmymug@reddit
Oh sure there’s a lot of way maybe your mom forced you to finish her plate all the time when you were actually allergic and didn’t figure that out till being a teen or adult hood maybe your appearance didn’t really feed you that much as a child so you just grew up Cooking for yourself and got familiar with stuff that doesn’t have a lot of flavor because you didn’t know how to cook. I’ve heard of grandparents that don’t take their grandchildren allergy seriously and have had major ER moments I think anything like that would be enough to traumatize someone away from just eating in general if you constantly grew up like that. Either just examples off the top of my head. There’s a bunch more. I’m sure.
JennyWillz@reddit
Ohh wow, yeah i definitely agree with you. Thanks for sharing your insight!
Sensitive_Yellow_121@reddit
Some people just have different taste buds too. I think most people overemphasize food in their lives because it's an addiction and I'm betting that these people aren't overweight as often.

Why even bother buying scallops at that point? If food is just fuel, there's absolutely no reason to splurge on expensive protein sources.

they must have been on clearance

That would have to be some serious clearance, scallops are normally like 5x as much per pound as chicken breast and 2/3 the protein.

But that doesn’t mean he’s RIGHT
Unseasoned meat is miserable
Not to mention this just looks dry as hell…I’m not even the one eating it and I can already imagine the bland, flavorless meat that fills me not with satisfaction, but of disappointment, dread, a chicken was slaughtered for the sole purpose of consumption, and that it will, despite the slog such a task will amount to be, but to call what has been done to this chicken as anything but disrespect would be a bold-faced lie.

Horvo@reddit
Mayo with chicken, Mayo with fries, Mayo in ramen. There’s little it can’t do.
bunchedupwalrus@reddit
I’m not judging but it’s wild how varied people can be. I hate mayo with an extreme passion, a single drop of it on any bite food ruins it for me.
Doesn’t matter if it’s mixed into other sauces or on its own. I can always tell if it’s in there and it always immediately kills my appetite
1egg_4u@reddit
Mayo in ramen? Wouldnt it be chunky or do youhave to aggresively mix it how does it work to put sauce in a soup?
Horvo@reddit
I was shocked, but if you create an emulsion by adding the broth slowly to the Mayo while whisking, you get a super rich, creamy broth without any oily/greasy/mayo flavour.
I personally prefer to do that method with an egg yolk over Mayo, but it’s extra work.
1egg_4u@reddit
First you had my attention but now you have my interest...
Horvo@reddit
Yeah if you think about it mayo is essentially just fats/oil like you’d find in a really rich ramen broth. Definitely give it a try sometime! Make sure to add the broth slowly while whisking to keep the emulsion from splitting.
AdInternal323@reddit

If it makes you feel better, last night I was watching a cooking competition with Michelin-star chefs.

I’d rather share the joy of Arrested Development with people! Let people get curious and look up Ron Howard. No need to make it some in joke. I really don’t see how that adds to the joke anyway.
kid_sleepy@reddit
This is sharing the joy. It’s the whole idea of the show.
Natural_Office_5968@reddit
No.. the whole idea of the show was a “The Office” style mockumentary sitcom about a cast of kooky characters watching their lives fall apart. ATP I’m positive I’m talking to a Reddit chatbot bc what?
kid_sleepy@reddit
Are you joking?
The show relies on you to know what certain references are made. Ron Howard isn’t credited.
Natural_Office_5968@reddit
I seem to remember the credits of, like, every episode having his name as an executive producer? Maybe he wasn’t credited as “The Narrator” but he certainly was credited

MarsScully@reddit
I’m honestly impressed if someone really can get any satisfaction from eating this
StealthyShinyBuffalo@reddit
Well. I'm one of those people who enjoy plain rice and plain chicken even though I don't mind if it's seasoned.
I also prefer my salad plain and will simply refuse to eat it with any kind of dressing. My father tried to indulge me with half a cucumber 'unseasoned' and was appalled when I went to wash the salt off it.
Part of it is from having a very sensitive mouth that will hurt from some condiments and the other part is not being so used to extra salt and everything that you can actually enjoy the natural taste the chicken and vegetables on their own.
LazyLich@reddit
but see now... "plain" rice and "plain" chicken is not actually terrible.
I'm using quotes because, if you just put enough salt to activate the flavors, plain chicken and rice can be bomb as hell!
The carb-y taste with the chickeny umami all blended and accented with the just-enough salt...
Personally, I'd pai it with a glass of milk, as the "weight" of the milk and the umami of the cream really ties it all together, though you could go with the "refreshing flavor" of water too (though I think a spritz of lemon in the water or on the chicken would crank that up).
BUT... there are ARE mfs out there that REALLY eat truly plain chicken and rice... usually workout-types that dont care about taste.
StealthyShinyBuffalo@reddit
When I say plain, I really mean plain without salt or lemon or anything. I'm not a workout type and I do care about the taste. In my own way.
I can eat it properly seasoned but I will sometimes choose to have it that way instead because it tastes good to me.
I would never have thought of pairing it with a glass of milk, though. See, that sounds weird to me.
To each their own. I guess.
Friendly-Lawyer-6577@reddit
I mean, as someone who diets relatively often, this is not unusual for a diet meal and would look good when im hungry.
Legitimate-Long5901@reddit
Which diets don't allow seasoning?
Friendly-Lawyer-6577@reddit
Seasoning makes food taste too good. Makes you more likely to overeat. When you are eating at levels where you are simply permitting yourself to get to the level of somewhat hungry but not famished the entire day, then you dont want seasoning.
hungry2know@reddit
Exactly, this meal looks delicious to a health nut who wants to starve themselves but needs nutrients for sustenance
LazyLich@reddit
There are people out there that simply dont seek satisfaction from eating.
That eating is "just a thing they have to do," but either dont care about taste, or dont care enough to put any effort in seeking better flavors.
It's a way of thinking alien to most of us, I know.

lizardground@reddit
Nah, chicken breast looks like this when you bake it with nothing on it. This is how we made our chicken for the salad bar when I worked in a kitchen. Just chopped it up in pieces after. If you bake it too long it gets this weird hard texture on top.
noho-homo@reddit
I'm genuinely confused by everyone freaking out about how it looks, this just looks like straight up regular baked chicken. Have most people never baked plain chicken before?! Granted, I wouldn't eat it plain, but this is pretty normal for getting some basic cooked chicken to throw into salads or sandwiches or whatever.
RatherGoodDog@reddit
No, because we are humans not robots in meat suits pretending to be normal.
noho-homo@reddit
You don't have to season chicken if its going into a dish that is heavily sauced and flavoured. It's way more versatile to just batch up a ton of plain chicken than to season it with a specific flavor and be limited to what you can use it in.
RatherGoodDog@reddit
Have the decency to at least fry it for god's sake.
Raivix@reddit
Not even salt and pepper? Wowza
lizardground@reddit
No, some of the guys had specific tastes or diets so there was always a section that was very plain like this available and then we had actual good food seperately lol. If we put salt on everything then someone who can't have much sodium couldn't eat that day.

I never put any seasoning on my stuff and eat it plain after cooked.
For one thing, It's better than you think. By never using salt, you can actually taste the natural salt & flavor in meat. Secondly, i'm a CHF patient, so it's a good idea for us to avoid salt anyway.
On the flip-side, Zero salt consumption means minimal water retention. So i always look extra 'ripped' in the Gym! You'd be suprised just how much water weight you carry around on a daily basis, mainly due to salt consumption.

He’s technically correct …it’s not necessary to season your food, but most reasonable and sane people tend to enjoy seasoning on their food, so they don’t feel like they have to choke it down their gullet like it’s some form of cruel punishment instead of it being an enjoyable dinner experience.
Your friend must be a body builder. Most of my body building friends who were in training ate like this all the time. They weren’t interested in enjoying their food, as much as they only wanted to consume as much protein in a day as possible.
Cool good for you, but most seasonings are 0 calories and carbs…so wtf. If you’re determined to eat a whole chicken in a day why not at least make it somewhat enjoyable with some dang seasoning? It takes 2 seconds to do the bare minimum and shake some mixed seasonings on the chicken before cooking it. Way better than whatever this is.
Besides the lack of seasoning, I’ve never seen chicken that looked so overcooked and rubbery, but yet raw at the same time. How did this even happen?

Huge-Basket244@reddit
The idea is to make food more of a fuel for your gains instead of a pleasure thing, that way you get your macros and micros without feeling as tempted to eat extra. Because your food sucks.
Kooky-Onion9203@reddit
Stoicism; the food isn't there to taste good, it's there to fuel your body. They don't want to make it enjoyable because that promotes excess and requires you to make extra decisions about what flavor you want. If you're just going to have one flavor every time, it might as well be plain.
_mad_adams@reddit
It might literally just be that they don’t want it to taste too good or they might overeat. A lot of people with really strict diets train themselves to only see food as nutrients and taste/enjoyment isn’t a consideration
post-death_wave_core@reddit
I’ve heard that too. If I had to guess, cause it appeals to the ‘stoic’ attitude of avoiding things that are comfortable.
droopymaroon@reddit
I think it's also just a weird way of looking at food in an attempt to try to break out of what they perceive as bad habits. Had one of these guys one time tell me he had to learn to "eat to live" rather than "live to eat." So I guess the idea is to boil it down to literally the most basic of elements you need.
MeCagoEnPeronconga@reddit
No, it's because it's faster and cheaper and you don't need to do any thinking. If you had to cook this 5x a day like some bodybuilders do to reach their protein intake goals, you'd try the easiest way to cook your meals, too
RAM-DOS@reddit
you can mix together spices ahead of time. All you have to do is throw a couple tbsp into a bowl with the chicken and some salt and let it sit for like 10m. And unless you’re competing for ms Olympia, some olive oil too.
side note, 5 times this much chicken would be like 300 grams of protein - which is more than could possibly be useful for basically anyone unless you’re like hapthor or Tom haviland on a cut.
Rodrat@reddit
Those I've talked too have said that it makes it harder somehow to eat the amount they do.
I don't understand it personally.
BannanDylan@reddit
A lot of people bulk and then cut, probably makes the cut easier if you aren't really enjoying your food
BannanDylan@reddit
I can imagine if someone is cutting weight, then not enjoying food would help them to do that.
Nothing about it being "manly" - plenty of women bodybuilders do the same
kai58@reddit
I think for the biggest ones they just need to eat so much food that properly seasoning all of it would get very expensive and unhealthy, I’ve also heard it might be easier when cutting because it’s easier to stop eating if it doesn’t taste good.
Other than that I think people are just copying it because they see the big guys doing it.
Rider434@reddit
It’s so they teach their body to not seek enjoyment out of eating. That way it’s purely a fuel source for them.

ED
Beefwhistle007@reddit
That one is called orthorexia. Somehow putting a bit of rub on that chicken is weakness.
713nikki@reddit
Well, not only weakness (because I knew plenty of them who didn’t look at it like that), but rather ‘why add that unnecessary sodium and calories to my intake?’
Beefwhistle007@reddit
"Why add that sodium?" sounds like a more acceptable way to say "I can't add that sodium. I'd be weak if I added that sodium." Why add it? Because it tastes better, and evidently wanting things to taste better would be a sign of weakness, because joy isn't as important as strength (despite the fact that the salt would do absolutely nothing to them.)
713nikki@reddit
A lot of women don’t have this hang up about weakness that you’re attributing this to. I’m not saying it isn’t orthorexia or avoidance of weakness for SOME people, but not for all of them who eat restrictively like this. I can see men having the hang up about the perceived weakness, but I’ve known many more women with ED who eat like this and has nothing to do with weakness avoidance.
Beefwhistle007@reddit
It makes them think they are stoic and more resilient than other people, and can eschew all bodily pleasures in some pursuit of masculine superiority.

When you're eating your feelings, you want that shit to taste good. This chicken would make me more depressed.
_Rohrschach@reddit
and I'm still lazy and unmotivated as fuck, so it's either some premade food with a few extras to make it more appealing or I take a whole afternoon to make a big pot of chili that will feed me for a week.
or, if the budget allows it, some fastfood.
right now I#m testing how long I can live off of shrimps with tomatoes in chicken broth. It's probably healthier than fastfood, slightly cheaper and easy+ fast to make. my cats go crazy smelling the shrimps though. One day I'm gonna make an unseasoned portion like OPs' friend and surprise them
SMTRodent@reddit
I sometimes wake up with depression the way people wake up with a cold, and the way I break those spells is by making myself a decent meal. It usually takes a whole, entire day of doing that and nothing else, but it makes me feel cared for when I eat it, and that seems to push out the brain weasels until the next time.
Going for a walk when the dawn is blue helps too, during the depths of winter when that light is there at 7-8am.
Phillyfuk@reddit
Or he likes food as is.
I enjoy foods before the seasoning and have eaten chicken like this before. I like the flavor of the actual thing I'm eating. It's not all the time, but I still do it.
I'm also not a fan of salt after the way my dad used to cook with it.
tris_majestis@reddit
Seriously, I'm severely depressed and cooking is one of the few things I actually enjoy.
F-ck_spez@reddit
My brother in law would make a meal for himself before he married my sister which was just a pound of ground beef, cooked on the stove top. Nothing else, just cooked ground beef.
Some people are just different, man.
LittleVesuvius@reddit
I’m severely depressed and I season my chicken. This is just sad. Put some sauce or spices on that at least. And cook it properly; that’s food poisoning waiting to happen!
Indecisive-Diver555@reddit
I was severely depressed for a while and literally drank flavorless protein and carb supplements mixed with water to keep myself alive. While in therapy I bounced in and out of that cycle but when I was in it you could see the effect in my face. Combined with trying to keep up the image of my life being fine on the outside I was burning the candle on both ends.
guave06@reddit
Nah I think he’s just starving and undernourished
liberatedhusks@reddit
We don’t claim this man. I put garlic powder, steak seasoning and rosemary on my chicken before I air fry it at least.
Swimming_Repair_3729@reddit
I prefer to consume my meat uncooked and unflavored things like "heat" and "seasoning" just get in the way

That poor chicken did NOT die for this mess
ScumbagLady@reddit
A chicken died for this kind of mistreatment after death?!
Not only does it seem to lack any sense of seasonings, it also looks dried out as well! Someone needs to get this person a multi function air fryer and an air fryer cookbook to go with it, as well as some spices.
Before I moved back in to be a caregiver for my elderly mother, she only had salt, black pepper, and paprika... and the paprika was from when I left it accidentally on Thanksgiving!
Yet, she has the nerve to complain about my cooking. Apparently, an entire stick of butter goes into everything.
I have taken over Thanksgivings now, and have to pretend like I'm listening to her suggestions but do things my way anyways. Juicy, wonderfully seasoned turkey? She didn't like it. Her so dry it's tough turkeys from past Thanksgivings? Perfection. She does the easiest, simplest versions of everything or wants to try to make "something she saw on YouTube". It never turns out right, leaves the kitchen like a warzone, and wastes a ton of food.
fusiongt021@reddit
Watch out because he'll be eating you soon. No seasoning needed
Gloomy_Discipline_66@reddit
no seasoning is fine i guess but does it have to be raw???
troysplay@reddit
It looks like he doesn’t think cooking it is necessary either.
curiousdryad@reddit
I feel sick. Tell us more about your friend. He must be studied

logic-is-god@reddit
Some people only eat food out of necessity, not flavor. Especially if they are trying to strictly control their diet and their gastro system.
Gingrish252@reddit
Neither is cooking it, apparently.
cahillc134@reddit
My father in law does this. He also doesn’t like tacos because they are too messy and he won’t eat anything with bbq sauce. He claims to not like vinegar, mustard, or ketchup but little does he know, many of my dishes that he says he loves have varying amount of these fine ingredients…. And food is just one thing that he is incredibly weird about.
UserPrincipalName@reddit
Aaahhh, sun dried chicken cutlets.
International_Let_50@reddit
I even used seasoning when I had an eating disorder
One-Injury-4415@reddit
I mean, seasoning ISNT necessary, it’s mainly for flavor.
Eating is solely for fuel, we eat to fuel our body with the nutrients it needs.
We season things because we WANT too.
So he’s right, if he likes it like that, then it’s perfectly fine. Some people eat solely because they have too much that’s ok.

I had a college roommate who ate egg sandwiches. Egg, bread, one slice of cheese. No seasonings or sauces, no other meals, unless it was at a pub (which is probably how he survived his own diet).
Billy0315@reddit
Did he cook it

I hope you're planning an intervention.

Why do people always shit on others food. Let's see what you made, OP?
Spiritual-Wing-962@reddit
Ummmmm...
Did you see the name of this sub?
"(Shitty food) porn"
That's the whole thing. Shitting on food is what happens here. Did you say "shit on others food" ironically, because that is funny.
Stock-Mission-7561@reddit
I get making fun of stuff that I make, but this sub is so full of ingrates that can't cook anything and then make fun of the people that cook for them.
I just don't like the posts where someone other than OP is being made the subject of fun.

Snarky_Critic@reddit
This has to be a joke.
Theabsoluteworst1289@reddit
I’m going to guess your friend thinks of food as “fuel” and not something enjoyable because I don’t see how else anyone would be happy with consuming this.
NorthernSkeptic@reddit
Seasoning might not be, but cooking is. Wtf
midgethepuff@reddit
Reminds me of that Off Menu episode my husband showed me once where the guest didn’t really enjoy eating food and literally blended his chicken in a blender so he could drink/eat it faster.
Noeckett@reddit
Apparently cooking it well isn't necessary either
OldBabyl@reddit

Kection@reddit
I am 100% with your friend. Steak and chicken breast need no seasoning. I used to eat this all the time in my teens and 20s when I was out partying.
Spiritual-Wing-962@reddit
But...
You were out partying. So like, people eat all kinds of random or gros shit when they are partying
Also- Who eats steak when they're out partying?

No one, you read what you wanted and I can't retort cause you'll do it again.

I mean it doesn’t NEED seasoning, he’s not wrong. But if you want to actually enjoy eating the shit you’re chewing, you should do something.
TotesNotGreg_@reddit
Haha that’s hilarious. We all have our own tastes. Is he just picky or is there more going on here?

Idk how the hell he turned chicken breast into chicken nuggets without cutting it. But it’s a no from me. He still poops like a baby.

Being a civilized human being also doesn’t seem necessary, and so here they are.

I can honestly respect not using seasoning, but at least try to cook, boiling 5 pieces of chicken doesn’t count, at least get some veggies on the side
irishchug@reddit
No respect, our ancestors committed atrocities and waged wars for salt and spices, and now this guy who has access to them for pennies can’t be bothered to use them.
Insult to human civilization is what it is.

Even if you only use food as fuel, spices have all sorts of nutrients and health benefits. https://www.nutrition-and-you.com/healthy_spices.html
