so… beige…

Can confirm, my autistic brain wants this Platter badly
Why is it that autistic people prefer bland processed food sometimes? I’m pretty sure my brother, who is not diagnosed, is autistic and he went like eight years only eating microwaved pizzas and microwaved pizza-adjacent products.
for me autism contains a form of neophobia, the aversion to new things. this food is the edible pendant to a comfy couch, that formed its cushions around you, because you sit in it all day the same.
Autism affects how senses are processed, and taste is a sense - some autistic people don’t want things that are strong or that vary a lot, preferring consistency instead.
With that being said, it’s not a universal thing, different people are affected differently.

Charcuterie ?

as if i wouldn’t continue eating this no matter how rich i was, only difference is that they’d be more ethically sourced and where possible vegan.
Probably same, but, for now I have an excuse lol
My brain had a really hard time with the scale of the items on the plate. Where does one get a pizza, the diameter of two dino nuggets, topped with tiny pepperoni?
If this is British - and it does look like British tapas - then that could well be a Chicago Town frozen mini pizza. They’re…not great, but they are convenient.
It is British, this is:
- Chicago Town Microwave Pepperoni Pizza.
- Bernard Matthews Turkey dinosaurs
- Potato smiles
- Chicken dippers
- Chicken fingers (all four above by McCains)
- Cajun Curly fries
- Heinz Spaghetti Hoops
It’s a lovely bit of beige, and nice for a treat, but I’d rather have something a bit…less processed?
It is British, and it is a complete list of things my 7-year-old British son eats.
Good work!
Man, I want those tiny pizzas. I’d cook up a stack of ‘em, separate with wax paper, and keep ‘em as a snack on the go.
Fuckin pocket pizzas you kiddin me?
Not gonna lie, they’re great for what they are. In five mins you’ll have something that’s kinda like a pizza, that tastes nice, and is so hot you can heat a three bedroom house for an hour or two.
What are the grid shaped ones?
Ah, missed those. They’re birds eye potato waffles.
Maybe, hear me out, the pizza is normal size, but everything else is just huge.
My brain legitimately went through a brief phase of entertaining that concept before deciding to use the Spaghetti-O’s as the scale anchor. It’s still entirely possible at this point.
You do know that pizza can be made in any size right?
Same with sausages
The confusing thing about this pizza (to me at least) is the crust. The smaller you make the crust, the harder it is to make it consistently shaped. Being a small pizza, the crust must also be very small, and this is an incredibly consistent crust thickness.
Sure, but the rest are convenience foods. There’s nothing convenient about making a tiny pizza from scratch, and I’ve never seen anything like it in the frozen foods section.
I live in the states, they’re pretty common. They usually come in a little foil lined box with microwave instructions 😕
I’ve seen Celeste pizzas, but this one appears to be half that size.
Is the grid shaped thing at the bottom made of potato or wheat?
Is it a dip in butter and syrup or dip in ketchup kind of snack.
Potato.
Ketchup.
Is that not a waffle? I wanna know wtf the things above it are supposed to be.
It’s a potato waffle.
The things above are:
Spaghetti hoops (kind of like hoops of pasta in a tomato sauce type thing…hard to explain)
Or are you referring to the alphabet bites? They’re potato.
Above the alphabet bites you have “chicken” nuggets.
Yeah the alphabet bites… I was wondering if those were just malformed mozzarella sticks for the “chicken” though
Are those waffles?
Not enough dark chocolate for me.
fresh from the fridge, so you can shave it with your teeth and enjoy the shavings melting and for a moment feeling like chocolate pudding
Ware your dark chocolate sources, my dear. Apparently Lindt has a ton of metals in it, which is tragic because they’re my favorite chocolate.
Baker’s chocolate, any brand.
Just need some kind of mayonnaise based dipping sauce and then I’m good.
like mayonnaise?
You son of a bitch. I’m in.
British charcuterie
wait, is liking beige food autistic?
It isn’t irl though. Some people may prefer it, but it’s not an autism thing.
Because of sensory difficulties, some people with autism may have “safe” foods- foods that don’t have upsetting textures or tastes. These are different for everybody, but the foods pictured are pretty commonly inoffensive.
Yeah
/hj
Is it a sign that you’re not young when you see that and go ugh. How bout some veggies and stuff.
Maybe you haven’t aged enough. There’s an awkward period in your 30’s ~ 40’s where your brain is confused and forgets what delicious looks like. Don’t worry: you get it back in your 50’s.
You’re eating this shit in your 50s? I mean I love fried foods but if I’m gonna eat them I’m gonna get good stuff.
Oh, yeah. Ima take up smoking again when I turn 60. Statistically, something else will kill me long before I develop cancer if I start at that age.
I’m not opposed to better quality fried food, but there’s something comforting about being able to dig into the freezer and pull out something to shove in the oven, without having to make a trip out, wait for for, and/or eat in public.
I’m being all smug over hear just finishing one of my most healthy meals ever. I made tuna steak, roast potatoes, and spinach salad. Lots of bright colors!
Speak for yourself, this platter just gave me a second wind!:))
It’s giving me wind, all right …
That’s half the fun!;)
one part of my brain sees this and drools, another part of my brain knows how miserable it will be to poo after a day of eating only carbs and protein.
And this is why i feel you could make a tidy profit from selling chicken nuggets with ground up vegetables in them, like vitamin gummies except with food instead of candy. Meatballs are already basically this since they generally contain onion (at least in sweden).
Veggie “chicken” nuggets are already delicious! They’re just expensive. I’d rather have morningstar nuggets than anything in this picture on taste alone, and I’m not vegetarian.
yeah vegan nuggets are basically the best vegan meat replacement, and it fucking baffles me that they are at all expensive since it’s basically just pea/bean protein.
That all looks pretty fucking delish, ngl…
Legit hissed at that faux pasta in the middle. That is not sauce.
