I’m autistic, and this is absolutely disgusting.
0/10, different foods are touching each other.
I am autistic, my current workplace gives us meals like this and it becomes super boring after a week of this every dinner.
Jeeves! A beige banquet for one, my good man!
I can only identify half of this and the ones I can identify have conflicting textures, this would be vile to eat. This is coming from an Autist who eats MREs for fun.
I don’t get the connection to autism. Could someone explain the joke?
I think we have here another example of neurotypicals not getting the difference between adhd and autism.
Yes, they can coincide, but they do not have to, and they are different.
My husband is autistic and he hates cheese (pizza is the ONLY exception), noodles, soup, anything creamy, beans, pasta, etc. What does his sampler plate look like?
Pepperoni pizza and fried coconut shrimp.
My autism will go into overdrive when eating this for bad reasons. There’s nothing healthy on that plate. I need some veggies. Some nice tomato or cucumber slices, grilled eggplant or zucchini (why don’t y’all just call it courgette smh). Maybe some mushrooms or something. Or pickles. One plate of veggies and then a little bit of the plate in the picture with a nice chunk of salmon, that’d do fine.
hardened arteries.
Oh look. A bunch of shit my granddaughters claim they’re going to eat, so I buy, but then they only take a couple of bites and announce that these don’t taste the same as the ones mom gets.
Fried scrub daddies?
Yes, Scrub Daddies are made from polymerized mashed potatoes so they are delicious fried
Lol they’re actually fried mashed potatoes.
Ick, they’re all touching each other
Once you pour ketchup all over everything it doesn’t matter.
Y’know, I have a big squeeze bottle of ketchup sitting in the fridge unopened. Several times I have thought, “this dinner could use a squirt of ketchup to dip into.” But because it’s just me, and I only ever use a little squirt, I always decide it’s not worth starting the clock on that big jug. Probably silly because ketchup is famously long-lived, but better for me not to get all that sugar in my system anyway. Sometime when the kids are all home I’ll have to plan a dinner that justifies breaking the seal.
I just take little shots here and there to make sure it eventually empties in a few days
You’re over thinking it brother! Open that thing, enjoy it. It will outlive us both.
Mmmm, English breakfast.
… Autistic people eat only fried garbage? That doesn’t seem exclusively neurodivergent to be honest. I know some have that thing about food textures, but…
Yeah, agree that this is not very accurate.
Don’t get me wrong, pizza is great, fried chicken is great… but I’m an autist and I’m the opposite of a picky eater, and if I want quick/no prep food, I will snack on carrots, have a salad, eat some greek yogurt, apples or grapes or pickles or something, maybe trail mix.
This is more a ‘I eat out of a microwave because I have no time or money or stress/planning capacity to meal plan and cook’ kind of thing.
If I want something like pasta, I’ll boil the noodles and fry up some jimmy dean sausage, toss the marinara into frying pan for the last few minutes, then grate a block of mozzerella over it.
Sure, I could just microwave some canned chef boyardee in 5 minutes… but it really only takes like 30 minutes to do it a bit more intensively, and it tastes waaaay better.
Where are my dunkaroos, and broccoli?
It’s more the fact these processed foodstuffs are absolutely held to the same flavour and manufacturing over and over and over. It’s routine in food form
nutripaste simulacrum
I couldn’t agree more. I love veggies
Untrue. I like certain fried garbage as comfort food when I need something to stabilize myself back to my routines, but that doesn’t mean I only eat that. I keep a varied diet with tons of veggies (those with a texture/taste I can stand, and most of them raw, I prefer their taste over the cooked ones) and I try to keep my animal consumption to a minimum.
However… That plate has a lot of interesting textures to eat (but it’s missing the mayo to dip them all, I can’t stand fried garbage without a bit of mayo).
Also, the pizza is wrong. That kind of whatever topping it has is probably going to overwrite the rest of the flavours of the pizza.
… pepperoni? Or are you talking about the slightly overcooked cheese?
Yeah, like what? I know my veggies.
not autistic, just adhd and picky but oh my word that looks divine
