Hate soup.

If you spilled that much water over my plate of pasta in a restaurant I'd send it back and nobody would question it.

[–] massive_bereavement@fedia.io 28 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I'll say you didn't have good soup yet.

[–] MudMan@fedia.io 15 points 1 month ago (2 children)

You are probably correct, because I will go way out of my way to have my meatballs the normal way instead of at the bottom of a pool of dirty water.

[–] TheBat@lemmy.world 14 points 1 month ago (2 children)

I'll feed you meatballs at the bottom of a pool of dirty water 😏

[–] MudMan@fedia.io 15 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I mean, buy me a proper dry dinner first, at least...

[–] PunnyName@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago

Just not soup, I guess.

[–] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 9 points 1 month ago

This sounds so erotic

[–] RaivoKulli@sopuli.xyz 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Dirty water? Lmao who cooked for you

[–] MudMan@fedia.io 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

It's hard to keep water clean when you put meatballs inside it.

To flip my original post, if you dropped that much meat into my glass of water I'd send it back and nobody would question me.

[–] RaivoKulli@sopuli.xyz 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

You're not making a soup by just dropping shit in a glass though lol

[–] MudMan@fedia.io 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

And yet the end result is still wet meatballs.

Someone hasn't tried sloppy steaks at Truffoni's

[–] Slimthickens@lemmy.world 7 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Well, they said no sloppy steaks.

[–] killeronthecorner@lemmy.world 11 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Yeah but I used to be a piece of shit

[–] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 7 points 1 month ago (1 children)
[–] killeronthecorner@lemmy.world 8 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I'm scared OP thinks people don't change

[–] Slimthickens@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago (1 children)

People can change. I used to be a piece of shit: Spiked-up Blonde hair, itty bitty jeans, chicken spaghetti at Chicolini's. People can change.

[–] PunnyName@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago (2 children)

I feel like this is a series of Always Sunny quotes or references, and I've never seen that show.

[–] ivanafterall@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

Let him hold the baby. People can change.

[–] ivanafterall@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Btw, it's not Always Sunny, it's this, fyi.

I’m not a fan of Tim Robinson, but I get why people like him.

[–] buttnugget@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

It’s kind of hard to get a read on your comments here. You keep referring to soup as water, but broth does not taste like water, so it’s difficult to tell if you’re joking—it doesn’t seem like it though.

Do you just not like the liquid texture? Do you like any type of sauce?

[–] MudMan@fedia.io 2 points 1 month ago (2 children)

I mean, I'm joking in that I'm not mad that you guys like soup. You put whatever you want in your mouth, I'm not here to kink shame.

But I do legitimately hate soups and creams in (almost) all forms. I don't understand how someone can grab a liquid in a spoon with chunks of floating meat and carbs in it, put it in their mouth and not be repulsed by what's going on there. It's just immediate gag reflex for me.

The weird exception to the rule is ramen, which I can do more or less fine because it's sort of at the edge of what my brain will process as a sauce rather than a soup. With the caveats that I do that by eating what's in the ramen and then either discarding or filtering the broth through my teeth, and that if given the choice to have a dry ramen I will do that 100% of the time.

Honestly, I was going to write "process as a runny sauce" up there instead and I could feel my throat tightening up. It's just not cool. I have eaten insects, molluscs, mold and the testicles of multiple animals. All delicious. I will eat tripe if done correctly, tongue if sliced thinly and I've tolerated a blob of solid fat just to say I had tried it.

Can't do soup, won't do soup, don't understand how this is not a more widespread thing.

[–] buttnugget@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

I really appreciate the earnest response. I agree: everything is subjective to our own tastes. Makes sense if you just don’t like certain things. My girlfriend loves ramen without broth, so that also totally tracks for me.

[–] Knock_Knock_Lemmy_In@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I presume you have no issue drinking water. Do you have trouble with othet drinks? Drinks with ice? Cocktails with olives? Etc. (You can see where I'm going, where is the line)

[–] MudMan@fedia.io 2 points 1 month ago

Well, ramen is the line, apparently.

No, I don't have problem with ice or olives. Those don't go in your mouth unless you put them there.

If you want to wrap your head around this, here's a clear distinction: Cereal is ok, but if a cookie gets soggy, breaks and falls into a glass of milk then that glass of milk is fully spoiled, can't be salvaged and has to be thrown away.

[–] RaivoKulli@sopuli.xyz 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Makes me think of noodle soup or just noodles with a lot of water. I prefer them that way, the tasty water is the best part

[–] MudMan@fedia.io 2 points 1 month ago

I am 100% not joking, this sentence made me queasy.
