To be fair, most things don´t taste that well on their own.
Now finish your bowl of ketchup.
Spinach meet lime.
Tell that to some fruit.
Yeah, I’ve tasted a lot of single men who taste great!
To be fair!
Defenders of McDonald’s chicken nuggets surprised to learn they contain 38 ingredients.
Not to mention drowning each bite in a little tub of bbq sauce
I eat mine dry. Would this get me into the Salty Spitoon?
As do I. I would never sully my delicious tempura fried compressed chicken matter by dipping it in cups of high fructose corn syrup.
Doesn’t matter. Everything besides water and chicken-ish “meat” is only in there in microscopic amounts. Especially water.
Oatmeal like rice, tofu, grits, or any number of other foods is a flavor vehicle.
I dunno man, rice is pretty delicious on its own
I prefer it with water and maybe some salt though
Oh no I’ve been doing it wrong …
As a kid one of my favorite memories is just eating a plain bowl of white rice with some salt and pepper.
That doesn’t sound that plain.
Yeah man, I love that!
Bread, especially naan, is great on its own or as a carrier for more flavorful foods.

Steel cut oats don’t need anything except maybe a little milk. They’re delicious, fight me.
Dude, you enjoy plain oat meal. I ain’t getting in a fight with someone like that. That’s like picking a fight with Popeye because he eats plain spinach.
Only someone that eats plain grits can beat someone that eats plain oats.
I could never get into steel cut, but this is how I eat rolled oats. But its gotta be Quaker Original or Bobs or something. Instant oats suck ass.
Oats, water, pinch of salt. Maybe its cause I was raised protestant but the day should start as miserable as it will go on.
Well no shit, ever heard of cooking?
Wait until you hear about rice and pasta.
Pasta? You mean flour with a bunch of stuff added to it?
Rice and pasta are great on their own or even with just basic seasons. Oatmeal is usually not
I beg to differ. Just a bit of honey and milk make 'em fucking delicious, and if milk and honey are complex seasoning, something is very wrong with your ability to cook.
I eat oats just about every single day. The only time I’m not eating oats is around the holidays.
But I definitely don’t mind unflavored oats. Normally I eat them savory, but plain oats are fine I suppose.
No matter how much you try to trick us by posting on the internet, we can still tell you’re a horse!
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.
And here I am, enjoying just plain oats with tap water 🤷♂️
If all you eat is flavoured, over salted, over sweetened, highly processed food, then that’s all your tastebuds will find enjoyable.
Hey, not everyone can be a gruel eating peasant /s
I’ve had pain oats for probably 40 years now and at this point I don’t think I can have a normal morning without a bowl of oatmeal.
At first my parents feed us this because we were poor, then I ate it out of habit, then I ate it to save money, now I just eat because I don’t want anything else any more.
sounds like a painful breakfast
My sibling in oatmeal, I’ve found you! Plain oats taste good. It’s my favorite way to eat them.
This. But I use very little water. I love when my oatmeal won’t slip off my spoon.
Uh…brown sugar is one thing, not 17.
Most brown sugar is a combination of white sugar and molasses, so technically it’s two…
Molasses is a byproduct of sugar production, so its just one ingredient that was separated and recombined.
Meanwhile I don’t even cook the oatmeal, just eat the little flakes straight up and like it.
Sure, it will have the flavor of cardboard if you are making instant oatmeal with hot water. It tastes great if you make kasha: slowly simmer oats in milk and sugar. It is just not worth the time investment if you are not a babushka.
I eat it plain most of the time, but with brown sugar and/or strawberries is a good combo too.
Who “defends” oatmeal? And since when does it require more than one or perhaps two additives?
