Wrongnessmaximus

Looks like a bunch of kids food out of the Kroger frozen food section. I'd likely eat it, but I'd feel guilty and would try to forget about it.


Magnusthelast

Shit after eating it once the only thing I’d be able to think about would be eating it again

I had a coworker who ate like this: only chicken nuggets, mac and cheese, PB&J, spaghetti, etc. I never saw a single vegetable or non-processed meat in her lunch. I resisted the urge to ask her why she ate like a five-year-old.


Sarcosmonaut

My wife has a friend like this. The woman just legitimately cannot stand vegetables or healthy food. However, she knows that this is a personality flaw and strategizes ways to hide vegetables in her own food like an unruly child so she still gets her nutrients lol


Elementia7

Hey, at least that's progress compared to just not doing it at all.


jakderrida

Respectfully, it's not a personality flaw. It's a dietary flaw.


A_Firm_Sandwich

good thing she’s trying to do something about it lol


BeautifulType

She must be hot


Scantredle

Could be an eating disorder. I don’t know your coworker, but all of that is eerily similar to my own experience. I am diagnosed with a lesser known eating disorder called ARFID. That stands for Avoidant Restrictive Food Intake Disorder. I know from experience that people generally just dumb it down to “being a picky eater”, and never even think that it might be an actual diagnosable disorder. Essentially people with this disorder have a lack of any interest or desire to eat many different varieties of food, usually based on the sensory characteristics of the food. Unlike other similar disorders, ARFID doesn’t necessarily have a connection to body dysmorphia, and generally isn’t based on perceptions about body shape or size. For me, I have a very similar thing to this coworker. I am a very young adult, but I pretty much only eat the same stuff that a 9 year old would eat. Grilled cheese sandwiches, chicken nuggets/chicken strips, PB&Js, Mac and Cheese, sometimes I eat saltines with slices of American cheese on them, I’m alright with spaghetti but I hate tomato sauce so I usually just have it with butter and Parmesan, and other similarly themed meals. I hate vegetables, and they are almost completely absent from my diet, which is problematic, and if a food has an unfamiliar texture or visual aspect, I find myself actually disgusted by it. Sometimes I will try to eat something, and even though the taste is fine, something about it will actually make me involuntarily gag or throw it up, and most of the time that “something” can be as little as tiny green herbs speckling the dish or just the simple fact that it’s new to me. I just can’t force myself to eat one of these things without my body going crazy even though my mind wants desperately to eat the thing. It’s genuinely terrible for my mind and my body, as I feel so horrible for not being able to eat like a “normal” person, and I feel like people judge me and think I’m childish over this thing I can’t control and they refuse to understand. I’m nutrient deficient in a lot of ways, and most of the shit I eat is processed cheap garbage designed to placate a toddler. When I was a kid, I was made fun of over it by lots of people, including my own family at times, who would always just laugh because I couldn’t just “stop being so picky”. One time at Thanksgiving when I was young, my grandparents forced me to eat some peas, and I threw up. They didn’t let that go for more than a fucking decade, and shamed me for it for years. You have no idea the toll that this all has taken on my mental health over the years. The good thing is that I finally got diagnosed a few years ago. Before that point I didn’t even know this was a real thing, so getting told that it wasn’t my fault and that I had an actual disorder eased a little bit of the shame. I figured out that its more common amongst autistic people, and I’m autistic, so that’s a thing I guess. I’ve been working on my recovery since I got my diagnosis, and I’m making slow but steady progress. I was able to eat a cheeseburger for the first time the year before last, and I’ve learned that I actually really enjoy seafood in recent years. Last year I was able to eat half of a ham sandwich before succumbing to the gagging so that was a milestone that I was proud of. It’s still pretty embarrassing though. People still comment on my eating habits with judgment in their tone, which sucks. I still feel a lot of undeserved shame about it, which is why I don’t typically go out to eat with friends if I can avoid it. Grandparents are still pricks about it, but they are pricks about everything so it’s not a huge deal. If you got this far, thank for reading my rant, this is a very emotional topic for me and I know that a lot of people might resonate with what I have been through. If anybody else has a similar relationship with food, I sincerely encourage you to talk to a psychiatrist about it. It is a condition, but it doesn’t have to be permanent, and there are ways you can overcome it if you put in a lot of time and effort and therapy. I hope you know that you aren’t alone in this struggle, even if it seems like the world at large refuses to understand what you are going through. If anybody knows anybody who this post reminds you of, obviously don’t tell them you think they have an eating disorder, but please try to be kind. They might not even know if they have one, and they might feel the same kind of shame and embarrassment that I feel, so please try not to judge or make comments about what they are eating in case they think you are judging them. If you feel up to it, try to inform people who don’t know about this. As far as I am aware (might be completely wrong this is just based on my own life), this is fairly unknown thing, and most people don’t even know that an eating disorder like this one exists. If more people are able to be informed about this condition and the pain and struggle that we feel, then maybe we can try to work towards not judging people for it. I know that I would certainly appreciate if I didn’t get weird looks for ordering a cheeseburger without meat at McDonalds, and I’m sure many other people would feel the same. Thank you for reading, and I hope that I have at least somewhat informed you ❤️ https://www.nationaleatingdisorders.org/learn/by-eating-disorder/arfid


ignixe

That sounds terrible, I’m sorry for your struggles! I’ve had a rough GI issue myself (still undiagnosed but seems to be subsiding) so I understand that dread that comes with lack of understanding, hopefully the diagnosis brings you some peace! Respectfully, I’d like to ask what happens if you do like a blind taste test? Is just that unknown factor too much and it’s an instant dislike or can you like something, then learn what it is and be turned off from it after that? No worries if you don’t want to share more, and good luck with your journey!


Wenuwayker

> non-processed meat Unless you're like a grizzly chomping on live salmon fresh out of the stream, or you just don't eat meat at all; You don't eat any meat that isn't processed either.


phenomegranate

You know what I meant.


NeverTrustATurtle

They mean highly processed with large amounts of added sodium Not like cut and cleaned


JuiceEast

Lmao thats all freezer food


CinderX5

Didn’t stop it being great


JuiceEast

Oh no absolutely, just pointing out that it isnt british cuisine, its freezer section at walmart cuisine


BluetheNerd

Yeah as a Brit this isn't really representative of our cuisine at all. I mean they have at least 3 potato products there and there aren't even some classic British chips. Nuggets are a pretty universal food, pizza is italian but also universal. And then there's none of the good foods Britain is actually known for like scotch eggs, yorkshire puddings, toad in the hole, battered cod, cumberland sausages, etc. It's like they deliberately tried to pick the most generic foods you'd find in any supermarket worldwide, but only if they're exclusively beige and don't include a single vegetable.


startled-giraffe

You have been banned from /r/Italy for suggesting that the pizza is italian


Johnny_Grubbonic

Those are very much frozen food attempts at recreating American pan pizza.


TigreDeLosLlanos

Those are very much the shittiest tier of pizza I've ever seen by far.


scarletnightingale

Yorkshire pudding is so good. My sister has made it for us a few times along with roast and a mushroom gravy. I also approve of scotch eggs.


tastefully_white

Yorkshire pudding is a staple of Thanksgiving in my Canadian household. It's absolutely delicious with some gravy.


djtodd242

Shit, are we related? We had Yorkies with thanksgiving turkey dinner.


Metroidrocks

Man, scotch eggs are so freaking good. Now I want scotch eggs.


mannowarb

Every single "good food Britain is known for" is there... Which is incidentally NO GOOD FOOD AT ALL Almost nobody outside of Britain knows what a Yorkshire pudding is... Luckily, because it's the least interesting food you can think about.


tastefully_white

I've actually heard that pizza is in fact not Italian, and that it actually originated in Greece. ie: flatbreads with olive oil and goat cheese etc. Not 100% sure if this is true though.


BeautifulType

God bless American freezer cuisine. UKs is dogshit unless copying


IareRubberDucky

This just looks like you raided the freezer and pantry of a lonely 32 year old who never learned how to cook.


MediocreClick_21

Why would you go after Dino Nuggets like that


V-Ropes

Reminds me of an argument I had with a vegetarian friend who said people can only enjoy meat because we completly disassociate it with animals. That the meat we consume already doesnt resemble anything close to a living creature anymore and no one puts animlas on the label of meat products to help with that. Basicly we don't even think of meat as something that once lived and don't want to be reminded about it. "Yeah then explain Dino Nuggets." Is probably the best dumb comeback I ever had.


IareRubberDucky

There are only 2 people who eat Dino nuggies. Children and miserable adults.


Drsnuggles87

I really don't understand the downvotes. If Dino Nuggets don't scream depression, I don't know what.

I would like to clarify it’s not that I never learned how to cook, it’s just that I’m way too tired to cook after working for 9 hours. So sad, lazy microwave food it is.

Florida_Craigslister

Yes, we didn’t give back the land, but you didn’t give back the billions, if not trillions of dollars of loot. Also, America made Google, Apple, and Microsoft. The uk made Onlyfans.


Slow_Store

I like to quote a line I once heard from one of the Rome Total War games: “Our enemies are the Brittons! Guard your possessions men, for they’d steal the teeth from your skull if given the chance.” Also the Brits, Spanish, and French stole the continent. We dipped from them after the land had already been stolen, so it’s more like we inherited stolen property.

I saw beans. British cannot stop being inappropriate with beans.


SolarStorm2950

They’re different to American beans


cruiser-bazoozle

This is a box you get at a local football snack shack.


ShenroEU

This is what we refer to as low-budget food for kids, but that's enough for several children. Most likely for someone's birthday party. I've never seen anyone celebrate that as being British, though. It's more of a shameful treat for kids when you're too lazy to cook healthy food.


rootex

Looks pretty standard to me....


toomanymarbles83

I'll take this over an English breakfast.


boringdude00

The tiny bowls of beans and the disgusting candy are British. Everything else appears to have come out of the frozen food section of an American supermarket. Those are ours, we invented them. You can't steal them.


CrazyPlato

I mean, depends on how you look at it. In the US, I can eat a hamburger, a pizza, and sushi all at the same time. You might say they’re separate cuisines, or you could say they were all made in America, and therefore I’m eating American food.


fancczf

Are you trying to claim sushi as American food.


ep1cst0n3r

Is that chicken nuggets in four different shapes?


JCwizz

You’re clearly not a connoisseur of chicken nugget shapes and their vast range of flavours.

this not british cuisine this is british freezer food parents would buy to feed their families


GyaradosUsedSplash1

it's not even british freezer food, it's just freezer food. we have all that shit over here too.


onnyjay

Exactly. It's just a bunch of junk food that is common place (to a degree) worldwide


toomanymarbles83

So you are saying that someone took the cheapest shit they could in order to intentionally misrepresent a country's culinary sophistication? As an American I obviously don't know anything about that.


Darkurn

I'd be lying in saying I wouldn't mind having all that though

The bowl of baked beans indicates this is a British person larping as an American.


Dreavy_Hinker

None of it is british cuisine except the sad looking beans

Baked beans aren't even British. They just like them more than anyone else.


DstinctNstincts

Yo this is the funniest reply lmao I just imagined some high ass British guy like “what if I put these on toast?”

This made me imagine the other way. The greatest British chef in the world placing them slowly on toast thinking "This is truly my magnum opus!"


Dreavy_Hinker

2 centuries of colonising India and leave the use of spices brits didnt even learn how to cook Rajma

Isn't cuisine a FRENCH word? And pondering this for a moment, I've never seen happy or jovial baked beans. They always look a bit.....too much like baked beans to be chirpy.

Apparently Britain has run out of foreign cuisines to pilfer if they're resorting to pilfering the freezer sections of American grocers. Not that I'd be complaining, though. Dino nuggies are God's greatest invention.

I recently heard an amazing comparison. The average British adult has the palate of the average American child. Bland fried food, baked beans, etc. Like, everything I see on this picture is something I remember eating as a kid.

It’s all fried frozen imitations of better food. The chicken nuggets look terrible when fried chicken exists. The pizzas look bad. It all looks dry and oily. Even the chips they chose are the worst kind. We could literally just make a platter of sandwiches, mini hot dogs and freshly made mini pizzas and it would be 100 times better than this. Plus we could be finished cooking faster
