The defense of Oatmeal is that it’s insanely good for your health and will help you lose weight if you can shovel unsweetened oatmeal down your pie hole every morning.
Doesn’t have to be unsweetened, just unsweetened with natural sugars like, sugar or honey. Stevia or other artificial sweeteners are okay for weight loss.
You eat oatmeal because it’s good for your health.
I eat oatmeal because it gives me feel good fiber poop.
We are not the same.
I eat oats just about every single day. The only time I’m not eating oats is around the holidays.
But I definitely don’t mind unflavored oats. Normally I eat them savory, but plain oats are fine I suppose.
No matter how much you try to trick us by posting on the internet, we can still tell you’re a horse!
Salt and sugar, that’s it.
Honey and peanut butter.
Cum and additional cum
Oatmeal like rice, tofu, grits, or any number of other foods is a flavor vehicle.
I dunno man, rice is pretty delicious on its own
As a kid one of my favorite memories is just eating a plain bowl of white rice with some salt and pepper.
Rice with butter was what I ate as a kid instead of butter noodles. So unhealthy, so tasty.
That doesn’t sound that plain.
Yeah I think like 80% of foods have some combination of salt, pepper, and garlic. I feel like those three things alone are the most valuable flavorings possible, with many things coming in a close second
Never forget fat as a flavour enhancer too. There is a reason why plain potato makes your gatherer brain go crazy with just some fat (and salt) added
True! There’s a reason butter or oil can be found in so many recipes
Yeah man, I love that!
Bread, especially naan, is great on its own or as a carrier for more flavorful foods.
Almost as nice as a plain slice of dry white bread washed down with a refreshing glass of government juice
I prefer it with water and maybe some salt though
Oh no I’ve been doing it wrong …

My dudes got whole towns hyped up on flavor.
plain tofu or rice is good though.
Sometimes I just eat cubes of tofu as a snack.
Same with wheat though?

I agree that oats are great.
olny blueberry instant oatmeal
A packet of instant flavored oatmeal weighs 43 grams and has 15 grams of added sugar. It’s more than 1/3 sugar. I’m not complaining, but that’s why it’s tasty. It’s the same nutritional make up of a serving of reese’s peanut butter cups.
Same with rice enjoyers. Either you like rice or you mix it with other stuff. Be honest to yourself
I like rice
What does Rice with Msg count as? Does it count as plain rice?
No, when you’re poor, rice taste sweet.
You can survive on rice alone. Every Asian country can testify on that. But rice, alone, gets boring fast.
At least throw some kind of sauce on top, if nothing else to put back the vitamin A rice lacks.
No you cannot, malnourishment from rice heavy diets is absolutely a thing.
You’re correct.
After writing my first comment I started thinking and remembered I once read an article on how deplorable the conditions were on japanese warships due to a strict rice based diet.
Not all rice is enjoyable by itself. It’s an unfair comparison between common long or short grain rice and jasmin or other varieties, specifically chosen to have diferentiated aroma and flavour.
Oats, milk, chia seeds and maple syrup in a container. Leave overnight in fridge. Great breakfast meal and a good substitute for sugary cereal.
It’s fine by itself. I mean, it ain’t winning any awards for taste, because it’s not good but it’s not awful either. It just exists. 🤷🏻♂️
I just put a handful of blueberries or cut up strawberries in mine for some stimulation. The main reason for me to have oatmeal is that it is super quick and extremely filling with just a small portion. Efficiency food.
Sure, it will have the flavor of cardboard if you are making instant oatmeal with hot water. It tastes great if you make kasha: slowly simmer oats in milk and sugar. It is just not worth the time investment if you are not a babushka.
Anyone making the assertion that ingredients must taste good on their own to be considered tasty is free to go try vanilla extract to compare it to vanilla icecream.
Literally just milk, honey, and fruits.
I use stArch BTW
7 of those 17 things are sugar and sugar accessories
As much as I love a good, sweet sugar and cinnamon oatmeal, just adding berries and some nuts is actually really good as well
Its still sugar, Berries are just carbohydrates and water.
That’s only true from a calorie standpoint.
The carbohydrate structure is much more complex and is released much slower than with refined white sugar.No one has ever gotten diabetes from eating to many berries alone (no data to back this claim up, but this is the internet. I’ll take a leap)
Calorie wise berries are just natural sweeteners to give food flavor. If you’re eating berries for national values you are probably eating berries wrong.
The large quantities of bioactive compounds place blueberries high on the Aggregate Nutrient Density Index (ANDI). This index rates foods based on their vitamin and mineral content, phytochemical composition, and antioxidant capacity.
I feel like that is a pretty valid reason to eat a berry over just adding sweetener
Isn’t that the same for literally everything that we eat?
Found the tofu fan

Random thought: like eggs, depending on how you cook the tofu determines how good it is.
Lightly fried tofu flipped over a few times? Delicious. Tofu while it’s limp from, gross.
Uh, no? There are all kinds of foods that are delicious exactly as they are. Most fruits, plenty of vegetables. Noodles need only butter. Meat needs only salt. It’s pretty sad if you need to add 17 things to make anything taste good.
Everything needs some level of processing to taste good. Noodles are made from more than one ingredient so that doesn’t count. Meat is great with only salt yes, but even better with a pepper corn sauce or something.
The same can be said for oats, it’s fine with water and sugar or salt. But better with other things. When you combine ingredients you make something greater than the sum of its parts.
I imagine you have an empty spice cupboard and live on butter and noodles.
That’s pretty rich coming from the person that apparently only eats hot pockets and other ultra processed garbage.
Never eaten a hot pocket in my life. I don’t even know what they are and I’ve never seen them in the shops here.
Do you know what a spice is? Do you know what a herb is? When would you use an aromatic? What is mirepoix?
I bet your soup is butter and water and not praise worthy at all.
I literally cannot imagine being this pathetic.
Shh!
