Meat should never mix with anything and only tastes good on its own, amirite?

I think you might have an eating disorder.

by Anonymous 2 days ago

Not necessarily an eating disorder but sensory avoidance contributing to this opinion. My brother has certain sensory and textural triggers, can't stand the texture of pasta or taste of pineapple and something like a sweet and sour pork even if he likes pineapple on its own.

Classic autism.

by Anonymous 2 days ago

Maybe, but not everybody with a sensory or textural avoidance has ASD. Plenty of people who aren't on the spectrum don't like the taste or texture of oysters. I have certain foods they can't stand that other people like. In this case, we don't know if they've been diagnosed or not and I'm reluctant to speculate because some people in online spaces use autism like an insult these days.

Who uses meatballs and pasta as an example? Meatballs are literally ground meat + breadcrumbs + other stuff. OP is using them as an example of not combining meat with other stuff when meatballs are exactly "meat with other stuff" just in a ball shape!

I see you and I hear you champ, but Daddy is gonna need you to eat a little dinner. Look, I even separated everything out just the way you like it.

Other then salt, which barely counts and is basically required for good meat, yeah I don't like any seasonings. Pasta with tomato sauce is fire, never tried it with much else though. I'd probably like some other pasta sauces though.

by Anonymous 1 day ago

Yes 1800s is a very odd choice. But meat production in the 1800s was like 1/16 or at the very most 1/8 what it is today. Our meat consumption has skyrocketed in the last century. It started growing in the 1800s but in the 20th century it accelerated to an absurd rate. Meat consumption in the 1800s was a lot closer to that of the 1400s than it was to ours.

My point is that OP doesn't seem to know the difference between having a personal opinion and thinking it applies to everyone. Like he's trying to convince us that meat combined with anything is gross for us as well. There are opinions that you could argue should apply to everyone "killing people is wrong", but you can't reasonably try to tell people what their internal experience is.

That sounds like a you only problem, if meat should never be mixed, does that mean it should never get anything on it? So no spices? Not even salt and pepper? You do you, but I see why it wrong, and that can be said for a lot of people, if not most, as most don't seem to have a problem with it. Also if the texture is wrong with meatballs, does that mean the meatballs themself are the problem? So you don't like minced meat?
