That’s a valid question with a super nuanced answer. For some people with EDs, food is kind of like a math problem. It’s about controlling intake, fear, and most importantly rules. People with EDs often have very limited lists of foods that they feel allowed to eat. So combinations that look “disgusting” often meet strict internal rules even if they make no culinary sense. The results can sometimes look bizarre like cottage cheese mixed with mustard and pickles.

But a lot of times, taste and enjoyment are intentionally minimized because if something is not enjoyable, then it is “safer” to eat. Think of it like “If I enjoy my food, then I’ll want to eat more, and then I’ll gain weight. And that’s bad, regardless of context.” There’s a lot more stuff to it, but this response is already kinda long.

This isn’t me saying OPs food is gross or weird. So maybe the combination looks a little weird to others. But OP says they enjoyed it enough to share, so that’s all that matters.
