This is something an alien would do. It would perfectly fit as a scene in the Resident Alien series. And now I'm kinda disappointed it wasn't.

[–] Psythik@lemmy.world 1 points 7 hours ago

"Resident Alien Series"? Is that like a spinoff/knockoff of Third Rock from the Sun?

Well at least anon was nutritionmaxxing, because frozen fruits and vegetables have higher content in nutrients than those stored at room temperature. Not cooking them also keeps a lot of the good stuff intact. But please go ahead and cook and eat vegetables and fruit regardless of temperature. Because it's more important to have plenty of them regularly in your diet and the nutrition differences barely matter.

Furthermore, although somewhat funny post, there are way too many people who don't know how to cook even basic stuff. This is bad. For them, their health, finances, and independence, and a shame on a societal level.

Yeah this is silly and cringe but eating frozen fruits while they're still frozen is amazing.

[–] cheat700000007@lemmy.world 1 points 8 hours ago

Especially banana

They are better while they are still frozen. Love me a bowl of frozen mixed berries, even worth the seeds that stick in the teeth.

If you have a good blender frozen fruit is great with some soy milk. Makes a nice smoothie.

[–] Buddahriffic@lemmy.world 1 points 8 hours ago

My protein shakes when I worked out were some kind of milk, yogurt, protein powder, creatin, frozen berries, and a banana if I had them. If I wasn't in a rush at least.

So true! I really think that banana, grapes and pineapple work particularly well when frozen 🤤

What fruits do you enjoy frozen?

[–] MrsDoyle@sh.itjust.works 1 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

Cherries. Mmm, especially with plain yoghurt.

[–] Nangijala@feddit.dk 2 points 11 hours ago

They can be so friggin good @,@

One of my sibs has a cherry tree in their garden and the cherries are so red, they turn black and the taste is fucking ridiculous, dude @,@ ❤️

I have to try the frozen cherry and yogurt combo! Sounds rather perfect in this summer heat, actually!

My father likes to tell this tale of when he made fried spaghetti because he was a poor student and his buddy liked it so much that he asked how to make them. My father replied "Like normal spaghetti. But you fry them in a pan."

That's what he did. Instead of cooking he fried the dry spaghetti in a pan.

Going in another direction, but ramen is great if you fry it after boiling it. Just drain the water (save it if it's a broth type as you can add the noodles back after frying), then drop them in a pan with heated oil, fry them for a few minutes, just to the point where the noodles on the bottom start to burn a bit (don't stir them before this but do stir after to interrupt the burning) and your ramen will have a satisfying crunch.

My dad tried frying frozen peas once. Turned the kitchen into Viet goddamn Nam. I still have flashbacks.

Italians also do it. Although they put tomatoes in and smash them first.

I knew a guy like this. He said he didn't like sunflower seeds for the same reason he didn't like shrimp. "Too crunchy". Apparently he was eating the shell and all of both of these things...

[–] Pandasdontfly@anarchist.nexus 3 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

For most of my life I willingly ate them shell and all

[–] BeUnique@lemmy.zip 3 points 12 hours ago

At least you didn't know that wasn't the social norm. Eating sunflower seeds whole is like swallowing splinters and causes constipation. As for shrimp, it's just an unpleasant chew as far as I'm concerned.

I had that experience with lychees. Nobody told me you weren't supposed to eat the crunchy center!

Belongs in the category of things you know once somebody told you. I think we all have little things that nobody has ever taught us and everyone else knows.

[–] Simulation6@sopuli.xyz 3 points 11 hours ago

There are always cooking directions on the bags.

[–] Zephyr@sh.itjust.works 11 points 1 day ago

Legitimately I've snacked on frozen veggies in the hot summer. Anyways, just get all your macros and take in fewer calories than you burn and you'll lose weight.

[–] TheTechnician27@lemmy.world 27 points 1 day ago (6 children)

I won't dog on them since the context implies this is ESL, but seeing "etc." punctuated as though it's an acronym is unholy.
