it's weird, in my first year at university I almost lived off mcdonalds but I haven't touched it in so long ... I am such a goddamned food snob nowadays

Actually the amount of people who seem to believe McDonald's burgers don't contain "real" beef is surprising.  Low quality sure, but not any less healthy than any other burger you could make.

I very much prefer preparing my own meals both because I can make them without adding sugar/starch/other carbs and because I've gotten pretty good at it in the past couple of years to the point where it genuinely appeals to me more than eating out.

Something I never learned in school that has arguably applied to more of my life than 90% of my academic career.

I know loads of people who don't cook for themselves and it just baffles me

I mean I understand it takes time but I'd make time to do it if I had to

if it was a choice between going out after work and coming home so I could cook for myself I don't think there'd be any contest

and it doesn't have to take loads of time, you can make something in half an hour pretty easily

I guess for a lot of people they can't get past the initial learning curve where everything is frustrating and unfamiliar.  It's very rewarding when you finally begin to know your way around your own kitchen and have more generally applicable knowledge, like how to cook meat, and what heat does to different mixtures.

yeah

I don't know, I don't consider myself a brilliant cook or anything but I've always kind of had the idea in my head that one day I'd have to cook for myself, so I suppose I just absorbed it as I went along

I remember my sister taught me how to cook a couple of things, then I picked up some other things when I was living with other people at university and afterwards, and yeah, I dunno

it just always seemed valuable knowledge to me I suppose so I accumulated it wherever possible

if i could afford it though, i would eat out for every single meal

apart from anything else I think I'd have a serious self respect problem if I did that

well, on top of my existing serious self respect problems

When I lived in las vegas I ate out almost every meal. You can eat like a king for next to nothing in that town.

if vegetables could somehow be magically washed when i buy them, i would be waaaaaaaaaaaay more inclined to cook more though. that's the most annoying thing, washing and scrubbing fucking vegetables

it's fair enough, probably a commonly held opinion tbh

yeah I won't deny it's tedious, when I make curry I'm always like fuck do I have to do all this bullshit at the start again

tbh that's probably the only reason i don't cook. i love making potatoes and onions for example but it just takes too long to wash and slice them, after i've just worked 8-9 hours
