          Well, it does suck. I remember when I was in high school and I found some cookbook with recipes from different countries. I tried cooking some of them and was amazed at how intense the taste was. Only later I realized that those recipes were pretty normal, they just tasted amazing compared with my mother’s cooking. It’s not that my mother’s cooking was very bland but Polish cuisine is pretty boring. It’s mostly salty and sour, not much variation. And some people never venture out beyond what they grew up with.

          Speaking as someone with texture issues and a very sensitive pallet, it fucking sucks ass. Lived in India for 4 years, couldn’t eat fucking anything even though I tried to force myself every day. I wish I could enjoy Asian food the way everyone else does :( At least I had butter chicken 😭

        You basically can, albeit not in pill form. There’s a whole category of complete meal replacement options, mostly in the form of shakes. The best known is Soylent by Rosa Labs, but there are dozens of others targeting every nutritional profile around. Most are a fraction of the cost of even the most basic foods.

        Strangely, most of those people will still not even try these.

          I remember reading somewhere that you need to use your teeth and chew food for health reasons (tooth decay otherwise?). So it’s not a great replacement, even if you hate taste

      I just replace it all with shallots. They’re way better, no nasty slimy texture. Fuck cooked onions, nastiest shit ever, texture-wise

        Yall have some wrong kind of onion. Where I am, raw onion is clean and crunchy like fresh cabbage. Do yall buy onion only after it has been lying around in warm air for a year?

        What really has awful texture is boiled cabbage or onion.
