I enjoy all food*
Except celery and anything with fennel in it.
* excludes anything with aspartame in it, which doesn't qualify as real food.
Love cooking and love food.
I do all the cooking in our house and I find it really relaxing and enjoyable. I don’t do as much elaborate stuff as I’d like but when I do I enjoy it.
And eating out, I love to a Michelin star meal. You don’t need to be full to have enjoyed a meal, enjoy the flavour, enjoy the atmosphere, enjoy the occasion.

You can always stop off for a kebab on the way home........
Given the amount of us on chub club, then I think it's safe to safe we care about food (quantity)!
That’ll be the salt
I got a Grossman pasta sauce the other week. I was astonished at how salty it was, never again.
I do cook as well, tbh, but there’s only me, so only if I feel like it.
That's what freezers are for.
When I was cooking for one, I'd make enough for four at a time. Eat one meal now, one in the fridge to take to work* the next day, and the other two in the freezer. Do that for a week and you'e got home-cooked ready meals for the rest of the month.
(* - In theory. In practice I'd forget to take it in and leave it in the fridge for a couple of days, remember to take it in and then forget I'd done so and make Pasta 'n' Sauce or go to Subway, then chuck it in the bin after it'd gone off.)
After years of weight training and cycling I just see food as nutrition to help my sports.
I went in Sainsburys earlier - they were completely out of Grossman curry sauces! So I bought one of their own brand ones: Salt per 100g - 0.7g
No wonder it doesn't taste as good as Grossman's, which has 0.84g...
One of those every few weeks, no wonder I've got a heart condition!
I sit in an office all day, well not at the moment, so I love doing something totally different in the evenings, I love cooking. Sous vide duck breast tonight. Yummmm.
After i rode my bike today I made a pie.
This morning after our morning walk I made a batch of pizza dough. After jnrs in bed I'll fire up a batch of pizzas.
Also made an experimental fruit loaf which is nice but not enough sugar in.....
Life is too short to eat crap food. Question to those of you that can’t be arsed with food.... if someone else prepared your meals would you enjoy them more?
That’s a flan.
would you enjoy them more?
Only if they washed up.
That’s a flan.
Do please show your working for your wrong observation.
Flans are short crust and without a lid.
That was puff top and bottom with a lid.

Good question. Sometimes, yes. But I also think that sometimes those who have graciously made meals for me have gone to too much trouble. I truly appreciate what I am given, but I also think that I would have been just as happy with simpler food and a beer and the good company.
One of the unexpected side effects of the lockdown is my wife has taken an interest/has time for cooking...spending more on food but for the first 4 weeks I got a home cooked dinner almost every night without having to lift a finger! Complete role reversal, normally I sort dinner every weekday and it's expected to be served within 10 minutes of the front door slamming, 40 minute warning for anytime between 7 and 9pm!
[I]Whenever I am abroad ad I see something on the menu that I do not know I will order it[/I]
This very much, if I go anywhere with a inventive menu I'll generally pick the most random thing I can find! There is (or was...let's hope they survive) a family run restaurant near me that we go to a couple of times a year, and there is usually something interesting on the starters. Hot peach stuffed with cream cheese, oh yes. Filo pastry with prawns, banana and curried mayo, mmmmm. Baked banana, ham, mustard, stilton, no contest!

Ah! There was second photo my apologies.
For me mostly it's about whether the food I'm eating is good for me. Don't get me wrong I love a good burger and all the trimmings, BBQ food, curry, pasta and I could eat a whole loaf of tiger bread and half a block of butter in one go but I choose not to (most of the time)
Mostly I eat food I believe is good for me, it may not be gourmet but I know the ingredients contain what my body needs. Eggs, fish, meat, butter, leafy greens, nuts, seeds and loads of water. I love the food I eat and rarely feel hungry, I believe this is because I keep carbs and sugar to a minimum.
In my experience being hungry will make me enjoy my everyday food more. Skip eating for a day and the brain starts creating interesting menus on its own. Fancy food and not hungry < simple food and hungry
