@Louisa then they fight for 18 hours about chicken noodle vs chicken and dumplings, still tagging you in every single one

@balrogboogie YES

@balrogboogie @Louisa It's optimised for reproducibility ... maybe it's Guix

@glitterwitch it's hard not to fall into the trap of "everyone should have the time and energy for the thing I've chosen to devote my time and energy to" but you gotta fight it

@Louisa I used to be that freaking guy, I was so snobby about ~whole foods~ thankfully I got my head out of my ass

@radicalrobit ✨✨✨

@zzz it's an easy thing to fall into!

@finn I know the food part, and what it's like to *hear* the tech part, so I'm like 75% an expert

@Tel oh man that's a good point

@anarchiv me too! But I do *try* to find a willing audience

@Louisa aye that's the difference

@Louisa they have this weird abhorrence of canned foods

@Aleums there's a lot of parallels in these interests! I try to keep food opinions to myself unless asked, but I definitely slip up

@Aleums @Louisa Im gonna go out on a limb and say it's likely bc lots of canned stuff is either oversalted or over preservatived, so the flavors are off...unless all you're looking for is "salty"

@ItsJenNotGabby @Louisa thing is I've tried their soup and it's always way too salty, so it's mysterious to me

@Aleums @Louisa lmaoooo that is the only difference i notice in my soups vs canned soups, but idk what theyre doing so 🤷‍♀️

maybe theyre just the culinary equivalent of "oh i dont even HAVE a tv" people lmao

@ItsJenNotGabby @Louisa I think you're spot on with that analysis jen, we don't have a microwave and they pride themselves on it lmao

@Aleums @ItsJenNotGabby @Louisa@mastodon.xyz see I’m the opposite of a food purist as I live solely on hot chocolate, coke, and m&ms, but I hate microwaves just because they make everything taste like death

@Aleums @ItsJenNotGabby @Louisa that's fucking insane, it's a heat source. Yeah, you can ruin things with a microwave and pre-packaged food meant for it is not the height of cuisine but it's like getting snobby about an oven vs a range top. It's for different things!

@Aleums @ItsJenNotGabby @Louisa sounds like they... 😎 spoiled the broth.

@robotcarsley @Aleums @ItsJenNotGabby :ohno:

@Aleums @Louisa You just need a salt vacuum

@jasonscheirer @Aleums ha, they're called potatoes 😌

@Louisa @Aleums there are no problems anymore

@DarkWitchClaire @Louisa been waiting to go off about SoupBase, the SoupChain, and my cloudy-with-a-chance-of-meatballs based microsoup architecture
