That’s why I know I’m never going to be a foodie or even remotely enjoy cooking. I just don’t want to spend all that time only to be done eating so soon. Some dishes just aren’t worth the time invested.
If you enjoy cooking as a hobby, great. But since I don’t, I’m choosing easy to make things whenever possible.
Heck, I don’t even like going to restaurants. The wait is usually far too long compared to the actual meal.
I also kind of hate the foodie thing (probably class resentment), so I like making easy “one pot” type meals that aren’t too fussy on the timing. Like tomato baked beans, dal, tossed chickpeas, etc.
I like that even if I decide to just do the simplest version imaginable. Like lentils with salt and pepper, it’s still going to be delicious and nutritious. Then if I feel like doing a bit more work on it, say adding some more interesting spices, I get to see the benefits of every little bit of extra effort immediately.
But I’ll fukn die before I call myself a foodie rofl.

Cooking isn’t just a hobby. It’s a necessary life skill.

I’m a foodie and I make those kinds of meals. I just probably use more spices than average.
You admit it??!?
But I also use a lot of spices … like to give em a little toast too … hand-ground of course …
