Once you pour ketchup all over everything it doesn’t matter.
Mouselemming@sh.itjust.works 4 days ago
Y’know, I have a big squeeze bottle of ketchup sitting in the fridge unopened. Several times I have thought, “this dinner could use a squirt of ketchup to dip into.” But because it’s just me, and I only ever use a little squirt, I always decide it’s not worth starting the clock on that big jug. Probably silly because ketchup is famously long-lived, but better for me not to get all that sugar in my system anyway. Sometime when the kids are all home I’ll have to plan a dinner that justifies breaking the seal.

Fried scrub daddies?
DebraBucket@lemmy.world 4 days ago
Yes, Scrub Daddies are made from polymerized mashed potatoes so they are delicious fried
razzazzika@lemmy.zip 4 days ago
Lol they’re actually fried mashed potatoes.

That looks absolutely delicious.
Not sure if that’s Autism or Britishness to be honest.

I’m autistic, and this is absolutely disgusting.

Oh look. A bunch of shit my granddaughters claim they’re going to eat, so I buy, but then they only take a couple of bites and announce that these don’t taste the same as the ones mom gets.

I don’t get the connection to autism. Could someone explain the joke?
nullspace@lemmy.world 3 days ago
A lot of autistic people lean towards eating ultra-processed foods because it’s a predictable sensory experience. They might order a burger, but request no tomato/pickles. Or a pizza, but only cheese and pepperoni.
It follows that an autistic person might eat children’s food into adulthood because it’s what they know.
Of course not all autistic people are like this, but it’s why a platter with dinosaur nuggets and spaghettio’s would be called an autistic sampler.

I think we have here another example of neurotypicals not getting the difference between adhd and autism.

Some autists only eat beige food. Same as some non-autists. No real connection, just a cutesy meme making autists look like children.
Modern_medicine_isnt@lemmy.world 5 days ago
My autistic son wouldn’t eat any of those. Not even one. I wish he would.
But it looks like a sampler for just about any NT kid I’ve known.razzazzika@lemmy.zip 4 days ago
Whereas I feel called out. I eat all of these… Just not at the same time but its all my easy no effort meals. Except those waffle looking things, not sure what those are.
sp3ctr4l@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 days ago
I think they are just some kind of microwaveable or quick bake waffles.
Drekaridill@lemmy.wtf 4 days ago
Just out of curiosity, what does he eat?
Modern_medicine_isnt@lemmy.world 4 days ago
He eats cheese pizza only, peanut butter, cereal, sometime yogurt, hamburgers sometimes, hot dogs, ham and cheese (but often not the bread), suprisingly buttered bread, toast and mostly food that comes in bar form. Granola bars and many of the variations of those. And of course ice cream, candy, and a variety of deserts.

Also out of curiosity, what is NT?
blackjam_alex@lemmy.world 4 days ago
New Technology. Those kids run on Windows XP SP2.
autriyo@feddit.org 4 days ago
NeuroTypical probably, at least in this context…
Modern_medicine_isnt@lemmy.world 4 days ago
Nuerotypical.

Sample platter for a 10 year old kid. Just need some hotdogs 🌭
gerryflap@feddit.nl 4 days ago
My autism will go into overdrive when eating this for bad reasons. There’s nothing healthy on that plate. I need some veggies. Some nice tomato or cucumber slices, grilled eggplant or zucchini (why don’t y’all just call it courgette smh). Maybe some mushrooms or something. Or pickles. One plate of veggies and then a little bit of the plate in the picture with a nice chunk of salmon, that’d do fine.

I am autistic, my current workplace gives us meals like this and it becomes super boring after a week of this every dinner.

Kolanaki@pawb.social 5 days ago
The only vegtable is the tomato sauce on the pizza and in the spaghetti o’s. Like c’mon… Where are the fries?
halfeatenpotato@sh.itjust.works 4 days ago
My husband is autistic and he hates cheese (pizza is the ONLY exception), noodles, soup, anything creamy, beans, pasta, etc. What does his sampler plate look like?
Pepperoni pizza and fried coconut shrimp.

Sketti hoops in the bowl perfection I mean beans is superior but I don’t look a beige buffet in the mouth
hraegsvelmir@ani.social 4 days ago
I don’t know, I feel weirded out seeing someone serving that bowl without a single bit of gammon or bacon ribs on the plate. We have a few occasional customers at work who seem to subsist solely on a diet of Lucozade, sketti hoops, bacon ribs, gammon, and WKD.
vaultdweller013@sh.itjust.works 4 days ago
I can only identify half of this and the ones I can identify have conflicting textures, this would be vile to eat. This is coming from an Autist who eats MREs for fun.

… Autistic people eat only fried garbage? That doesn’t seem exclusively neurodivergent to be honest. I know some have that thing about food textures, but…
CanadianCarl@sh.itjust.works 4 days ago
Where are my dunkaroos, and broccoli?
AbsolutelyNotAVelociraptor@piefed.social 5 days ago
Untrue. I like certain fried garbage as comfort food when I need something to stabilize myself back to my routines, but that doesn’t mean I only eat that. I keep a varied diet with tons of veggies (those with a texture/taste I can stand, and most of them raw, I prefer their taste over the cooked ones) and I try to keep my animal consumption to a minimum.
However… That plate has a lot of interesting textures to eat (but it’s missing the mayo to dip them all, I can’t stand fried garbage without a bit of mayo).
Twipped@l.twipped.social 4 days ago
… pepperoni? Or are you talking about the slightly overcooked cheese?
Pixel_Jock_17@piefed.ca 5 days ago
I couldn’t agree more. I love veggies
sp3ctr4l@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 days ago
Yeah, agree that this is not very accurate.
Don’t get me wrong, pizza is great, fried chicken is great… but I’m an autist and I’m the opposite of a picky eater, and if I want quick/no prep food, I will snack on carrots, have a salad, eat some greek yogurt, apples or grapes or pickles or something, maybe trail mix.
This is more a ‘I eat out of a microwave because I have no time or money or stress/planning capacity to meal plan and cook’ kind of thing.
If I want something like pasta, I’ll boil the noodles and fry up some jimmy dean sausage, toss the marinara into frying pan for the last few minutes, then grate a block of mozzerella over it.
Sure, I could just microwave some canned chef boyardee in 5 minutes… but it really only takes like 30 minutes to do it a bit more intensively, and it tastes waaaay better.
MonkderVierte@lemmy.zip 5 days ago
Yeah, like what? I know my veggies.
