#i remember doing research for aer like ‘aphrodisiac foods’ bc it was a scene of seduction 💀

out of all the research rabbit holes i fall into for fics, food is perhaps the most mundane & fascinating of them all. i’m the furthest from british cuisine and a vegetarian on top of that, so i have no frame of reference for meat-heavy breakfast/lunch/dinner, especially with cultural/geographical mores added onto it. it makes no sense to me, especially without rice/roti. the spices are a completely different game. cooking preparation methods? poles apart. it’s fun, to be sure, just…different.

#like i can name dishes off the top of my head #can probably give a vague recipe for it too bc i watch so many cooking shows #but i don’t know *how* they work ykno? #like i had to look up what u eat a roast dinner with lol #surely it isn’t just a huge chunk of meat on its own and u call it a day (or night)? #i remember doing research for aer like ‘aphrodisiac foods’ bc it was a scene of seduction 💀 #but that’s an outlier #just finding casual everyday foods is so tricky #bc i’m used to how we eat but that’s obv not things r done #so now i look up ‘average dinner’ #what is ur main carb? main protein? where do u get roughage from britty brits? 🤔🤔 #just the weirdest rabbit hole #then i find weird food facts that i’ve never seen before #which is another Trip #pen’s writing
