    You WILL try complex and challenging flavors.

    You WILL eat a nutritionally balanced meal.

    You WILL appreciate the years that the chef and cooks spent honing their craft.

    You WILL enjoy it.

    This is part of what I mean when I say that Anglo countries have such shitty food culture. Too many people are content with the most basic flavors and preparations (no matter how unhealthy) because the society-wide standard is set so low. Add to that people who just see food as means to an end instead of a fundamental part of human experience to be savored.

    To me, people who don't appreciate good food are the same as people who look at Starry Sky and scoff "pfffft, that doesn't look like the sky I'm used to", or worse yet "this can't be used to advertise something, so it is of no value".

      no, fuck you, and learn what a comfort food is for autistic people

      I won’t “appreciate the years the chef spent honing their craft” because I will be too busy having a sensory meltdown over how weird and slimy the food is or how the tastes are too overwhelming

        no, fuck you

        First of all, don't threaten me with a good time.

        Second, I'm exaggerating to parody the WEF "You will eat the bugs" meme, not proposing a real policy where people are forced to eat different food.

        Third, when I talk about societal standards I'm talking as a broad generality. Obviously there will be reasonable exceptions to most social standards and accomodations should be made for those people. If I say "the societal standards of fitness is too low, everyone should be able to climb a flight of stairs", I'm not trying to target the elderly, or pregnant people, or people with disabilities or illnesses, etc. Nor does the existence of those people invalidate the point.

        Edit: I saw your other post on accommodating people with sensory issues. I want to say that I agree that people should be accommodated and add that a skilled chef or cook is going to be much more able to accommodate people with specific requirements compared to someone who is forced to cook to a rote recipe or is just heating up pre-prepared food.
