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.
Yeah? Maybe we mean different things when we say that word though.
To me, I mean that I enjoy food the way other people enjoy whatever it is that they’re passionate about. So I have a few fancy kitchen gadgets and a well-stocked spice cabinet, and I’d budget for and save for a trip to a nice restaurant the way other people budget for sneakers or makeup or whatever. I don’t think that’s a weird thing to ‘admit.’

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 …
