Defenders of oatmeal

To be fair, most things don´t taste that well on their own.

Now finish your bowl of ketchup.

Tell that to some fruit.

Yeah, I’ve tasted a lot of single men who taste great!

Wait until you hear about rice and pasta.

Pasta? You mean flour with a bunch of stuff added to it?

huh? d-does your rice and pasta not taste good just boiled with some salt?

get better pasta and rice dude

I don’t even need to put salt on my rice. It’s great on its own just boiled.

Thai Jasmin rice. Once I found a good hookup oh baby did my view on rice change.

Idk what they’re doing to rice over there but everything about it is perfect. Aroma, flavour, texture. It’s delicious fluffy white rice every time.

Thank you. That’s exactly what I was thinking. This is not so much a “meme” as a “laughing at things stupid people say”.

I beg to differ. Just a bit of honey and milk make 'em fucking delicious, and if milk and honey are complex seasoning, something is very wrong with your ability to cook.

Get a load of this guy from the land of milk and honey. Must be nice to live in the promised land with your fancy oatmeal. /s

What if I hate the taste of honey? But also, I actually like mine with tomato sauce like a regular sane human being. Who eats pasta with honey anyway

even with just basic seasons

What are we calling basic seasonings? Brown sugar is pretty basic imo and oatmeal with brown sugar is basically crack.

Chinese person here, the spices that work well on rice also work on congee, which is already similar to oatmeal, and IMO they work just fine on actual oatmeal too.

Hell we even have a “lazy congee” where you literally just add leftover rice to hot water to make a sort of rice oatmeal. Super convenient in the morning when you’re in a rush!

Once you add 17 things to it?

Defenders of McDonald’s chicken nuggets surprised to learn they contain 38 ingredients.

Not to mention drowning each bite in a little tub of bbq sauce

I eat mine dry. Would this get me into the Salty Spitoon?

As do I. I would never sully my delicious tempura fried compressed chicken matter by dipping it in cups of high fructose corn syrup.

There is a place for people like you but it’s not the salty spittoon. You will get to see lots of sponge though and a jacket with lots of cool buckles.

38 different chickens per nugget.

Doesn’t matter. Everything besides water and chicken-ish “meat” is only in there in microscopic amounts. Especially water.

Oatmeal is a grain product, so yeah, adding other things to it to make it more to your personal liking is kinda the point.

This is like saying bread is bad because most people like it in a sandwich.

Wheat is bad because you have to add more than just water to make bread

That’s actually not even necessarily true. You can just leave flour around in water and the natural yeast ferments. Then you can throw that in with some more water and flour and it’s sourdough. Would be better with some salt though.

Or you can make super depressing unleavened flatbread.

you don’t even need yeast, in sweden we have “stick bread” which is just flour, water, baking powder, and salt which you wrap around a stick and grill over a campfire. Perfectly tasty.

Yes, no one who says “I love pasta!” is saying that to mean “I love just the pasta on its own without any sauce”

Er…n-no one? ^^’

I have a friend who eats pasta not only plsin, but raw.

Have you ever had fresh baked bread (even flatbread)?

Oatmeal like rice, tofu, grits, or any number of other foods is a flavor vehicle.

I dunno man, rice is pretty delicious on its own

I prefer it with water and maybe some salt though

Oh no I’ve been doing it wrong …

As a kid one of my favorite memories is just eating a plain bowl of white rice with some salt and pepper.

That doesn’t sound that plain.

Yeah man, I love that!

Rice with butter was what I ate as a kid instead of butter noodles. So unhealthy, so tasty.

Bread, especially naan, is great on its own or as a carrier for more flavorful foods.

Almost as nice as a plain slice of dry white bread washed down with a refreshing glass of government juice

My dudes got whole towns hyped up on flavor.

plain tofu or rice is good though.

Sometimes I just eat cubes of tofu as a snack.
