Oatmeal like rice, tofu, grits, or any number of other foods is a flavor vehicle.

[-] glimse@lemmy.world 35 points 9 months ago

I dunno man, rice is pretty delicious on its own

[-] Droechai@lemm.ee 21 points 9 months ago

I prefer it with water and maybe some salt though

[-] ebits21@lemmy.ca 8 points 9 months ago

Oh no I’ve been doing it wrong …

[-] ininewcrow@lemmy.ca 8 points 9 months ago

As a kid one of my favorite memories is just eating a plain bowl of white rice with some salt and pepper.

[-] Leate_Wonceslace@lemmy.dbzer0.com 15 points 9 months ago

That doesn't sound that plain.

[-] kautau@lemmy.world 6 points 9 months ago

Yeah I think like 80% of foods have some combination of salt, pepper, and garlic. I feel like those three things alone are the most valuable flavorings possible, with many things coming in a close second

[-] Droechai@lemm.ee 3 points 9 months ago

Never forget fat as a flavour enhancer too. There is a reason why plain potato makes your gatherer brain go crazy with just some fat (and salt) added

[-] kautau@lemmy.world 3 points 9 months ago

True! There’s a reason butter or oil can be found in so many recipes

[-] glimse@lemmy.world 4 points 9 months ago

Yeah man, I love that!

[-] Catoblepas@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 9 months ago

Rice with butter was what I ate as a kid instead of butter noodles. So unhealthy, so tasty.

Bread, especially naan, is great on its own or as a carrier for more flavorful foods.

[-] smeg@feddit.uk 4 points 9 months ago

Almost as nice as a plain slice of dry white bread washed down with a refreshing glass of government juice

My dudes got whole towns hyped up on flavor.

[-] naevaTheRat@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 9 months ago

plain tofu or rice is good though.

Sometimes I just eat cubes of tofu as a snack.
