Idk cant relate, im Autistic and I love spicy foods and generally foods with lots of spices. I would take a spicy Indian platter :3
Yeah, same here. The thought of eating what’s in that photo is actually repulsive to me. My go-to if I want something simple would be plain broccoli, black beans, and some lightly seasoned chicken.
The scale of this picture is very consufing.
- The dino nuggies are huge
- the bowl with rings in em seems very smol
- idk how large the face ones are
What is up with this one?
Everything seems normal to me, the mini-pizza might be throwing you off
If this is a mini pizza, then that bowl must be super smol
I have a bunch of bowls that size and they’re quite small. It’s the pizza, it’s really small and has tiny pepperoni that make it look like a bigger pizza.
looks like a custard bowl to me, which are indeed super smol
That’s a family sized pizza. Everything else is enormous
Are you by any chance not from the UK?
Spaghetti-Os are disgusting.
I… I love them. I don’t know what it is but the more processed the food the more I want it. And these things taste like they’ve been assembled from compounds never actually found in nature.
Did you grow up eating them? My wife did, and she loves this trash, too.
I am disgusted by this and similar canned pastrocities. But I didn’t eat it when I was a kid. What I did eat was Vienna sausages. Some people call them viennie weenies where I’m from. They are objectively garbage, but I like them still.
I have a fondness for cheap canned meats, including fish. I’m sure this is a result of spending a good part of my childhood in poverty, but damn does that shit hit.
Hell yeah I’ll wreck some sardines. I also like fried spam with rice. I like most canned meats really. I LOVE corned beef hash from a can. I fried some up with eggs for dinner just a couple days ago.
I had them again for the first time in probably 15 years and man that shit is nasty. Overly sweetened mildly acidic sludge in a can. The “meat” might be the worst part.
I tried them last year and I have to say they brought back childhood. So many memories!
But when I tried again, they didn’t have the original style without meat. That stuff was vile even when I was a kid. You know it’s bad when chopping up cheap hot dogs to put in it are far above the “hot dogs” style
Can confirm, my autistic brain wants this Platter badly
Why is it that autistic people prefer bland processed food sometimes? I’m pretty sure my brother, who is not diagnosed, is autistic and he went like eight years only eating microwaved pizzas and microwaved pizza-adjacent products.
for me autism contains a form of neophobia, the aversion to new things. this food is the edible pendant to a comfy couch, that formed its cushions around you, because you sit in it all day the same.
Autism affects how senses are processed, and taste is a sense - some autistic people don’t want things that are strong or that vary a lot, preferring consistency instead.
With that being said, it’s not a universal thing, different people are affected differently.
These are probably the least safe foods for me. I can feel the oil just looking at the picture. Sometimes it’s hard for me to have a hot plate of food in front of me because of the fumes. Knowing that the smell and the oil are clinging to me.
Heartburn platter.
Heart attack platter
Poverty charqutery.
as if i wouldn’t continue eating this no matter how rich i was, only difference is that they’d be more ethically sourced and where possible vegan.
Probably same, but, for now I have an excuse lol
My brain had a really hard time with the scale of the items on the plate. Where does one get a pizza the diameter of two dino nuggets, topped with tiny pepperoni?
wait, is liking beige food autistic?
Because of sensory difficulties, some people with autism may have “safe” foods- foods that don’t have upsetting textures or tastes. These are different for everybody, but the foods pictured are pretty commonly inoffensive.
why this the kind of food that makes me upset
Legit hissed at that faux pasta in the middle. That is not sauce.
Just need some kind of mayonnaise based dipping sauce and then I’m good.
like mayonnaise?
You son of a bitch. I’m in.
Is it a sign that you’re not young when you see that and go ugh. How bout some veggies and stuff.
Maybe you haven’t aged enough. There’s an awkward period in your 30’s ~ 40’s where your brain is confused and forgets what delicious looks like. Don’t worry: you get it back in your 50’s.
You’re eating this shit in your 50s? I mean I love fried foods but if I’m gonna eat them I’m gonna get good stuff.
Oh, yeah. Ima take up smoking again when I turn 60. Statistically, something else will kill me long before I develop cancer if I start at that age.
I’m not opposed to better quality fried food, but there’s something comforting about being able to dig into the freezer and pull out something to shove in the oven, without having to make a trip out, wait for for, and/or eat in public.
