Like do adults just throw away food that taste bad? I mean like say you are at a restaurant and want to try something new… and end up hating it like two bites in…
Or perhaps a new receipe for at home…
As an adult? I paid for it, I’ll eat it. Then I won’t order it again.
Seriously. I get pissed at myself if I let bread or cheese get moldy.
I generally make food I’ll like, or if it’s a new recipe, a small batch. I can eat a small batch! Or give it to my husband lol.
If out to eat, I’ll stick to things that I’ll enjoy. If even that is bad, eat what I can then be annoyed later at myself or at the restaurant. I could complain, but doing that would make my brain explode.
If I burnt something, salvage what I can, feed family with that, and eat prepackaged stuff for myself. It’s not their fault I fucked up the food, so they should eat first.
I give it to my chickens if I can’t stand to eat it myself.
I’m generally pretty good at figuring out what I will and won’t like when ordering from a restaurant. The only reason I wouldn’t finish something I ordered is if I physically cannot force myself to swallow it. If it comes to that, and my wife doesn’t like it either, into the compost it goes.
As a child, I was taught to eat what was served and to finish what I was served, Whether I liked it or not.
It’s even simpler as an adult because 1) I like to try new things and I know I will often need more than a single bite of anything to really appreciate anything new 2) I want to show some appreciation to the person cooking (I simply don’t cook things I know don’t like, myself ;)
I’m fortunate I like most everything, but the few times I didn’t like something I was still expected to eat it, mostly. Onions burned my nose sobthey didn’t make me eat them raw, and lima beans made me gag, but that’s about the only things I just wouldn’t eat. I never gave my food to a parent, but my kids did give some things to us when little and full.
Unless it is spoilt, I try not to throw anything away. When I do, I try to recycle it (e.g. by composting). Even when I live in one of the world’s richest countries, it just feels wrong to throw away food.
I only cook stuff I like and never go out to eat so the problem never arises.
This is the way.
Or you learn to like things you burned or cooked badly lol.
Well you don’t cook it. But yeah I generally weigh if I’m willing to pay the cost of the meal not to eat it if I really fuck up dinner or order something I wind up not liking
Your an adult. You make an effort, you try and suck it up because you’re not a kid anymore
Why? Just toss it and never make that food again? You don’t need to spend your life hating what you eat, literally ever.
I think that the hypothetical question is more « if you’re out » at home do what you want.
But eating TV diner because you hate anything else is not being an adult (I know someone like that)
What do I do with food I dislike as adult? Throw it out.
I hate nothing I’ve met so far.
Each individual decides that for themselves. Personally I’ve always thrown away the food I don’t want. If I didn’t want it, no way my mom would.
