…well, I did audit a culinary program when my wife took it. I have restauranteers in my family. I could probably survive in a small restaurant kitchen. But I guess I don’t know how to cook :)
But I think you’re misreading my point. Have you not heard of things like “taste buds change every 7 years or so” or “food rut”? More specifically, our senses of smell/taste are heavily intertwined with our brain in a way no other sense is. What we enjoy is driven by memories. I will always have a place in my heart for Duck à l’orange because it’s the first meal I ate at the place we ended up having our wedding. I always crave a nice juicy hamburger on Labor Day because it was a family tradition for a decade.
Sorry, I am not convinced. Someone who can’t find umami flavour in plant based food easily isn’t a good cook.
You perhaps reach a satisfying result when you stay in your area of expertise, which is cooking meat based dishes. That might make your job a cook, but it certainly does not make you good at it.
But I ethically feel that eating meat is a good thing
I am very interested in how you argue it’s “ethically good” to breed lifeforms just to have them suffer and then eat them.
I kinda hoped moving away from reddit would lead to less “you hold a different view than me so you must be an absolute idiot”. I suppose I’m sorely disappointed.

I never called you an idiot or even implied anything like that.
Re-read your previous comment and try to consider why I might have taken it that way. Otherwise, have a great day.
