I knew a guy like this. He said he didn't like sunflower seeds for the same reason he didn't like shrimp. "Too crunchy". Apparently he was eating the shell and all of both of these things...

I won't dog on them since the context implies this is ESL, but seeing "etc." punctuated as though it's an acronym is unholy.

Yeah this is silly and cringe but eating frozen fruits while they're still frozen is amazing.

My father likes to tell this tale of when he made fried spaghetti because he was a poor student and his buddy liked it so much that he asked how to make them. My father replied "Like normal spaghetti. But you fry them in a pan."

That's what he did. Instead of cooking he fried the dry spaghetti in a pan.

tbf, ignorance is something you giggle at once, before getting over it and educating them. Hopefully OP and their friend got over it and managed some actual change

Belongs in the category of things you know once somebody told you. I think we all have little things that nobody has ever taught us and everyone else knows.

I love frozen fruit and veg! If you've never tried it then don't knock it

Legitimately I've snacked on frozen veggies in the hot summer. Anyways, just get all your macros and take in fewer calories than you burn and you'll lose weight.

Well at least anon was nutritionmaxxing, because frozen fruits and vegetables have higher content in nutrients than those stored at room temperature. Not cooking them also keeps a lot of the good stuff intact. But please go ahead and cook and eat vegetables and fruit regardless of temperature. Because it's more important to have plenty of them regularly in your diet and the nutrition differences barely matter.

Furthermore, although somewhat funny post, there are way too many people who don't know how to cook even basic stuff. This is bad. For them, their health, finances, and independence, and a shame on a societal level.

Totally gay, because office bro was totally hoping to get some booty.

But damn if I can't believe this is true. I've met people that are that unaware of that kind of thing. Shit, I once had to teach a 76 year old man how to operate a can opener because up until then, his wife had done all kitchen stuff.

I started the case maybe two weeks before and had been doing the meal prep because home health. One morning, I show up and my man is stabbing at the top of a can with an old butcher knife. I freak out a little because, damn, dude needs a nurse's assistant, so an already less than ideal tool was crazy dangerous. Also, dude had decided to ignore the nicely arranged food I had cooked the day before, which is story in itself.

So I dig through the drawers and find a shitty old can opener. Show him how to use it, and Bob's your uncle. Mostly.

Dude wasn't senile, believe it or not. Just not the brightest crayon in the box and woefully a product of his generation. Nice guy though! Not always the case on a case.

This is something an alien would do. It would perfectly fit as a scene in the Resident Alien series. And now I'm kinda disappointed it wasn't.

The bag (usually) has cooking instructions written on the it...

Ignorance I can forgive, but lack of curiosity is inexcusable.

Very in character for anon.

We live in a hot climate and all my kids loved to eat frozen corn, frozen. I could never cook it because if I bought a bag they would raid it.
