I like the idea.
Also, who's not into food, people who don't eat?
Lots of people don’t care about food, it’s just something to make them go from hungry to not hungry. “It fills a hole” is something I’ve heard many times, referring to food. Plenty of people just don’t care. I honestly was like that until I moved out and had to do the cooking myself. Now I can appreciate a home cooked meal or fancy restaurant meal more, but I’m still not a foodie. As long as it isn’t disgusting and it fills me up, I don’t really care. I’ll enjoy a nice meal more than a bland one, but I don’t have a strong feeling about it either way.
Cooking for my dad can be a little annoying sometimes because he’s definitely not a foodie. Many times my mom will make him a nice meal, ask him how it is, and his response is always “yeah it’s good” no matter what. Nowadays she cooks for herself and makes enough for him, because she knows he just doesn’t care, as long as it’s enough to fill him up. And I know a lot of people that are like that too.
I wish I could think of food as just fuel.
Silly human brain over here that loves food! Thinks about it all the time. All the time...
Stupid human brains.
I have ADHD and rarely remember the details of a meal. Maybe never.
But I do remember if I enjoyed it, so while I end up sounding like your dad it it is coming from a place of honesty when I say I enjoy something without being able to articulate exactly why or what flavors were in it. I'm also fine eating meh food for sustenance because the experience of eating it won't even be remembered 30 minutes later, but won't praise it.
I aim to articulate my thoughts (praise) during the meal, preferably early on, instead of having to recall the experience once its over. It also makes me more mindful of the meal if I try to find things to note while consuming it.
You likely won't remember to do so, lol, but if you do, try it!
But my.mouth is full from enjoying it right now!
Some "mm mMM mmh MMmm"s might suffice
Compared to most of my friends I'm not into food tbh. But not in the way that I don't care about it. I'll generally eat whatever and like it. I can enjoy a microwave meal or a frozen pizza. And I get very impatient with people who insist that the rice needs to dry to the air for god knows how long because it makes the taste better. Cooking is something I used to hate, so I'd always go the easy route. Either a microwave meal or something like pasta with pre-cut vegetables and premade sauce from the supermarket.
Nowadays I have changed to a diet with more vegetables and less overprocessed stuff, so I tend to just grab some veggies and throw them in a pan with some meat (or replacement), some random herbs and spices and a little bit of pasta or rice. Sometimes it's nice, sometimes it sucks, but I don't really care because I'll eat almost anything and I hate throwing away food. Most important to me is that it's healthy most of the time. But I don't really care for recipes or spending time to prepare something nice, I have better ways to spend my time. I also really like my rice to be sticky, so I don't really waste time on washing the rice either.
