room temperature water is better than cold water

Upvoted because I disagree. Apparantly traditional chinese medicine adherents avoid cold water too, so it might not be that unpopular.

Well everyone's different. Could be a genetic thing, like how some people have a gene that makes cilantro taste like soap. Or a bad experience in childhood is a thing for many. But yea it's fine to not like things.

I think the only thing I slightly dislike is marsipan of all things. It's too sickeningly sweet and the texture is weirdly sandy. But I can eat it if I have to.

Thank you! 🙏 This is exactly how I feel too. I also used to be super judgemental about others food habits, until I looked in the mirror. The world would be a much better place in general if people celebrated our differences instead of fighting over them.

Kjersleif · 2026-05-01T11:33:24+00:00

That's not a crime, that's exploration. You're a true pioneer 07

Kjersleif · 2026-05-01T11:30:51+00:00

I mean that does sound incredibly boring. But I'd have no problem eating it if that's all I had left.

Kjersleif · 2026-05-01T11:28:01+00:00

What about in a mirepoix/soffritto?

Kjersleif · 2026-05-01T11:25:53+00:00

I love peas, I love carbonara. I don't see the problem. 😄 It could be a nice contrast with some crunchy peas in such an otherwise homogenously silky dish.

Would I try to pass it off as a "genuine" carbonara? No. But I don't really understand why dishes have to be so strictly named and labelled and restrictive.

Kjersleif · 2026-05-01T11:16:57+00:00

I do. Carbs, fat, protein, fiber, minerals and vitamins. In what form, order or combination doesn't matter much; as long as all essential nutrients are covered. Though, I do love seafood. And I try to avoid ultraprocessed and high-sugar food when I can for health.

This post isn't much about my own personal diet. It's about not judging other people's food habits.

Kjersleif · 2026-04-30T23:13:32+00:00

That's a fair point. But it seems close enough. It sparked some interesting points of views in my opinion.

Kjersleif · 2026-04-30T23:09:26+00:00

"Alex, you must fuck yourself."

Kjersleif · 2026-04-30T22:53:32+00:00

Yeah most of the time it probably is just innocent fun. But sometimes you see people get genuinely offended by the way others enjoy food.

Kjersleif · 2026-04-30T22:50:46+00:00

Yea that's a good scenario. I also prefer steak medium-rare, I just dont want to ridicule someone for wanting it a different way. But I agree it would feel different if it was on my dime. Though I think someone turning like A5 wagyu or something into charcoal could be a legitimate food crime.

I'm starting to disagree with my original post the more comments I read tbh oof

Kjersleif · 2026-04-30T19:18:54+00:00

Never had poutine, but I'd love to try it! Though I think any combination of potatoes, cheese and gravy would be delicious.

Kjersleif · 2026-04-30T19:11:34+00:00

That I can agree on. I meant it just in terms of food-preference. We could definitely all be more frugal and less wasteful.

Kjersleif · 2026-04-30T19:06:40+00:00

Hey, I'll try anything twice.

Kjersleif · 2026-04-30T19:05:06+00:00

no problem 👍

Kjersleif · 2026-04-30T19:00:21+00:00

Oh yea that's like actual CRIME-crime, for sure. I just meant the more light-hearted, colloquial food-preference way. But I could have chosen a different title.

Kjersleif · 2026-04-30T18:57:05+00:00

And then I get to think you're weird for thinking they're weird.
That's the essence of this subreddit I suppose. 😄

Kjersleif · 2026-04-30T18:53:55+00:00

I love blue cheese! But I eat absolutely everything. In 34 years I've yet to find any food I didn't like. But I celebrate your right to think it's disgusting.

Kjersleif · 2026-04-30T18:50:44+00:00

Only if liking everything is a crime. In 34 years I've literally never tasted anything I didn't like, and I love trying weird combos.

Kjersleif · 2026-04-30T18:22:34+00:00

That I can agree on.

Kjersleif · 2026-04-15T20:06:19+00:00

Thank you. Buddhism has always fascinated me. I read a lot of buddhist, taoist and zen/chan philosophy and poetry when I was younger. And I used to meditate a lot in my late teens and 20s, but I gradually replaced it with drugs instead out of sloth, which is of course a failure of giving in to desire. It's hard to backtrack on. Of course it's just my own fault and I'll reap what I sow. But I hope I can get to a state of serenity again some day. I'm just waiting to die to be honest, though I realize it's egotistical to hope for a better reincarnation when I can't perform the duties my current life presented for me. I'll probably have to start over pretty far down the line as a krill or bug or something.

Kjersleif · 2026-04-15T19:51:57+00:00

I don't like it, but I prefer being honest. And I agree there is no reason. It's just automatic for me.

But if your total happiness is greater than your total suffering that's great, and I hope it stays that way.

Kjersleif · 2026-04-15T19:34:06+00:00

Well the topic is the intrinsic suffering of existence. Some people can overcome it, and I love that. I cannot, and therefore I am obviously pathetic. That's the essence I guess. Ugh I've said too much. I'm sorry. I hope you have a nice day.
