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

Now finish your bowl of ketchup.

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

Wait until you hear about rice and pasta.

[–] Squirrel@thelemmy.club 9 points 9 months ago

Pasta? You mean flour with a bunch of stuff added 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

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

[–] glimse@lemmy.world 28 points 9 months ago (10 children)

I dunno man, rice is pretty delicious on its own

[–] Droechai@lemm.ee 19 points 9 months ago (1 children)

I prefer it with water and maybe some salt though

[–] ebits21@lemmy.ca 8 points 9 months ago

Oh no I’ve been doing it wrong …

Anyone making the assertion that ingredients must taste good on their own to be considered tasty is free to go try vanilla extract to compare it to vanilla icecream.

[–] BruceTwarzen@kbin.social 37 points 9 months ago

Well no shit, ever heard of cooking?

[–] HiddenLayer5@lemmy.ml 30 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago) (4 children)

Why do people insist on randomly hating what other people eat? The textbook definition of differing tastes between different people than cannot be accounted for? Unless your kid is named Oatmeal and they ate them, maybe mind your own business.

[–] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.world 10 points 9 months ago

You heartless bastard! Oatmeal was my second-favourite son and that bastard seasoned him with store brand ketchup! STORE BRAND!

Steel cut oats don't need anything except maybe a little milk. They're delicious, fight me.

[–] WarmSoda@lemm.ee 20 points 9 months ago (4 children)

Dude, you enjoy plain oat meal. I ain't getting in a fight with someone like that. That's like picking a fight with Popeye because he eats plain spinach.

[–] idiomaddict@feddit.de 10 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Plain canned spinach. I could do plain spinach all day, but the idea of canned spinach is horrendous.

Oatmeal is a nothing base.

Do you know how much work it takes to make a filling base stock that can pivot in any direction?

Savory, Sweet, Salty?

Oatmeal is a fucking miracle centuries in the making.

Fish, Chicken, Beef, Pork, Vegetables, or Botanicals all go well with it.

I mean, in a pinch you can get away with just butter and salt. Oats taste fine by themselves, it's just really boring after two bites.

EDIT: I am not a horse.

[–] CosmicCleric@lemmy.world 10 points 9 months ago (1 children)

EDIT: I am not a horse.

Too bad. I would have been very impressed if you were, considering you're posting comments on an Internet forum.

I love and eat oatmeal every day. More than ones through the day actually, plain

Just oats and water.

If i want something different than nothing beats fruits in this game for me. A good apple sauce is also awesome on oatmeal.

[–] rothaine@lemm.ee 10 points 9 months ago

Not even salt? Whoa

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.

[–] m0darn@lemmy.ca 7 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago)

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

I eat oats just about every single day. The only time I'm not eating oats is around the holidays.

But I definitely don't mind unflavored oats. Normally I eat them savory, but plain oats are fine I suppose.

[–] Hegar@kbin.social 22 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago) (1 children)

No matter how much you try to trick us by posting on the internet, we can still tell you're a horse!

[–] Showroom7561@lemmy.ca 14 points 9 months ago (6 children)

And here I am, enjoying just plain oats with tap water 🤷‍♂️

If all you eat is flavoured, over salted, over sweetened, highly processed food, then that's all your tastebuds will find enjoyable.

It's fine by itself. I mean, it ain't winning any awards for taste, because it's not good but it's not awful either. It just exists. 🤷🏻‍♂️

I just put a handful of blueberries or cut up strawberries in mine for some stimulation. The main reason for me to have oatmeal is that it is super quick and extremely filling with just a small portion. Efficiency food.

I literally eat oatmeal raw and dry like a godamm horse eating out of a trough. Yes I have a problem.

[–] EatYouWell@lemmy.world 12 points 9 months ago

Same with Starbucks coffee

[–] Ilflish@lemm.ee 12 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago) (1 children)

Oatmeal can't compare to the natural tasting notes of cinnamon toast crunch

Edit: On a serious note, Oatmeal is kind of like Coffee where you start by getting the ready made instant stuff, get a taste for it, begin to narrow your selection and then create your own perfect formula

Alright, well, fuck off then. Go eat whatever. If I catch you wrinkling your nose at my breakfast I dehumanize you and treat you as an NPC, just one of the things that's installed in here that I have to walk around.

Or you can let people eat their food without commenting on their business

[–] GBU_28@lemm.ee 9 points 9 months ago

Oatmeal with some cinnamon is great, if you don't have the palate of a child

[–] Uncle_Bagel@midwest.social 8 points 9 months ago (1 children)

I just do a cup of soymilk, pinch of salt, teaspoon of molasses until it boils, them i add a cup of oats and a quarter cup of raisins and it's a quick and delicious breakfast

Meanwhile I don't even cook the oatmeal, just eat the little flakes straight up and like it.

[–] RampantParanoia2365@lemmy.world 7 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago) (3 children)

Uh...brown sugar is one thing, not 17.
