Mixing Random Foods

[FayetheADHDsquirrel]

Does anyone else relate to this? When I am eating, my wide reaching seemingly perpetual curiousity tends to get the best of me. I want to find out what the various food or drink items are like combined. Even if I expect it to taste nasty, I still like to try the combination once to find out for certain what the flavor combo is like. Sometimes I actually get surprised and find something yummy. There is a very wide range of foods and drinks that I will sample together and occasionally make a point to attempt to combine all potential combinations in a meal at least once. I'll even try the desert with the meal if it is already on the table (eg. a bite of green beans with a bite of pumpkin pie or a swallow of my tea with a bite of my ice cream).

Yep i like to try strange combinations too.
Recently found an osso bucco (some type of meat with bone) recipe with a tiny bit of chocolate in the sauce. Now i am curious to try that!

Wow! I actually wasn't expecting to find people who shared this trait on here due to so many autistic people being very particular about their foods. I thought I would be just as much an anomaly on here in regards to this as I often am around presumed neurotypicals.

Oh, I like trying different foods like that too, but I rarely give something nasty another try. I prefer mixing together different tasty foods

About the only extent of this in nearly my last 70 years would be to add orange juice to root beer.

Yep. Especially when I was little. Are you a scientist by any chance?

I wish. Maybe one day. Of course, if it doesn't have to be a career to count, I do actually do a lot of science experiments at times. I've come up with experiments since very early childhood.

 

[Levelskid]

Me too. I've write reports about the experiments I do.

As for the outfit in my photo, I took a certificate level course at the community college earlier this year. I got to learn some interesting chemistry techniques as well as some interesting microbiology techniques.

I'm learning chemistry on the side, but I love biology and computers.

Are you pursuing a degree in it?

 

[FayetheADHDsquirrel]

I actually experiment with my food in other ways besides the flavor test. My grandparents weren't very impressed that I could dissect my veggies and explain whether they were monocots or dicots based upon their anatomical structure.

 

[Levelskid]

No. It's a hobby. But I am doing a computer networking certificate. Carrots are my vegetable to dissect.
