Aw, that was oddly relatable for me. For awhile eating was just something I did because I had to. And I really loaded up on junk food because it was all the same to me.
Met my wife and now cooking and seeking flavor palettes and spices that go well together is fun. Eating is something I do to enjoy eating.

It was nice seeing another character's journey on it eating to survive to eating for enjoyment.

<3 aw thanks!~
My mom was legitimately kind of an awful cook and hated to cook too so she also didn't really teach my twin and I, we've spent a chunk of our own lives learning to cook and be comfortable experimenting with recipes. <3 Unfortunately I'm still in a questionable relationship with vegetables after what she used to do to them. -brr-.

      I think the best example was the Minute Rice.
      I spent -years- thinking rice was just... gross. Because she'd make minute rice for stuff and it always hit the plate looking like tiny maggots. She hated cooking SO MUCH she couldn't even follow the directions on the easiest rice I've ever set up, so it was overcooked and all exploded. Otherwise: lots of canned or limp frozen stuff. It was just... unpleasant.

        Goodness that all sounds so bad. I love rice.
        Shit I love mushrooms. I never heard of canned mushrooms before. That sounds like hell.

          I see them in the store, as well as jarred ones. I guess they're good if you need something that will just... live for ages in the cabinet but?? Sort of in the vein of canned asparagus.
