Oatmeal is a nothing base.
Do you know how much work it takes to make a filling base stock that can pivot in any direction?
Savory, Sweet, Salty?
Oatmeal is a fucking miracle centuries in the making.
Fish, Chicken, Beef, Pork, Vegetables, or Botanicals all go well with it.
And it fills your stomach a lot.
To be fair, most things don´t taste that well on their own.
Now finish your bowl of ketchup.
Tell that to some fruit.
Well, here I am!
Lemon
To be fair!
I literally eat oatmeal raw and dry like a godamm horse eating out of a trough. Yes I have a problem.
Alright, well, fuck off then. Go eat whatever. If I catch you wrinkling your nose at my breakfast I dehumanize you and treat you as an NPC, just one of the things that’s installed in here that I have to walk around.
Or you can let people eat their food without commenting on their business
Wait until you hear about rice and pasta.
Pasta? You mean flour with a bunch of stuff added to it?
huh? d-does your rice and pasta not taste good just boiled with some salt?
get better pasta and rice dude
I don’t even need to put salt on my rice. It’s great on its own just boiled.
Thai Jasmin rice. Once I found a good hookup oh baby did my view on rice change.
Idk what they’re doing to rice over there but everything about it is perfect. Aroma, flavour, texture. It’s delicious fluffy white rice every time.
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)
Pizza is made of flour.
Same with wheat though?
Wheat is bread and nothing else without Roux. Even Rye does better.
You need corn or soy beans to make anything else without industry.
I hate this statement cause wheat does a lot. It’s a ton of calories, and that matters.
Roux is fucking amazing, but 2 centuries sit between Roux and Oatmeal/Tofu.
People don’t realize how amazing oatmeal is. It’s Tofu without industrial processing, and Roux without the immediate human involvement.
Add sugar, fat, and an Acid it’s a world class dish.
How many stock bases can claim the same.
Edit; I updated during the downvote don’t hold it against them. My Original comment was not great.
I agree that oats are great.
Oatmeal is a grain product, so yeah, adding other things to it to make it more to your personal liking is kinda the point.
This is like saying bread is bad because most people like it in a sandwich.
Wheat is bad because you have to add more than just water to make bread
Yes, no one who says “I love pasta!” is saying that to mean “I love just the pasta on its own without any sauce”
I have a friend who eats pasta not only plsin, but raw.
I’m eating a bowl of tasty paste right now. Magical.
Oatmeal can’t compare to the natural tasting notes of cinnamon toast crunch
Edit: On a serious note, Oatmeal is kind of like Coffee where you start by getting the ready made instant stuff, get a taste for it, begin to narrow your selection and then create your own perfect formula
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.
Everyone defending blank canvases arw like, “once I add 17 things to it, it looks so good.”
That’s what op sounds like.
I’ll eat oats by themselves and dry
Defenders of McDonald’s chicken nuggets surprised to learn they contain 38 ingredients.
