This is something an alien would do. It would perfectly fit as a scene in the Resident Alien series. And now I'm kinda disappointed it wasn't.

This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.
Be warned:
- Anon is often crazy.
- Anon is often depressed.
- Anon frequently shares thoughts that are immature, offensive, or incomprehensible.
If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.
"Resident Alien Series"? Is that like a spinoff/knockoff of Third Rock from the Sun?
Well at least anon was nutritionmaxxing, because frozen fruits and vegetables have higher content in nutrients than those stored at room temperature. Not cooking them also keeps a lot of the good stuff intact. But please go ahead and cook and eat vegetables and fruit regardless of temperature. Because it's more important to have plenty of them regularly in your diet and the nutrition differences barely matter.
Furthermore, although somewhat funny post, there are way too many people who don't know how to cook even basic stuff. This is bad. For them, their health, finances, and independence, and a shame on a societal level.
Yeah this is silly and cringe but eating frozen fruits while they're still frozen is amazing.
Especially banana
They are better while they are still frozen. Love me a bowl of frozen mixed berries, even worth the seeds that stick in the teeth.
If you have a good blender frozen fruit is great with some soy milk. Makes a nice smoothie.
So true! I really think that banana, grapes and pineapple work particularly well when frozen 🤤
What fruits do you enjoy frozen?
My father likes to tell this tale of when he made fried spaghetti because he was a poor student and his buddy liked it so much that he asked how to make them. My father replied "Like normal spaghetti. But you fry them in a pan."
That's what he did. Instead of cooking he fried the dry spaghetti in a pan.
Going in another direction, but ramen is great if you fry it after boiling it. Just drain the water (save it if it's a broth type as you can add the noodles back after frying), then drop them in a pan with heated oil, fry them for a few minutes, just to the point where the noodles on the bottom start to burn a bit (don't stir them before this but do stir after to interrupt the burning) and your ramen will have a satisfying crunch.
My dad tried frying frozen peas once. Turned the kitchen into Viet goddamn Nam. I still have flashbacks.
I actually love frozen peas because they can easily be thrown into whatever I'm currently making. Especially something like fried rice.
Of course, just frying them alone is probably pretty difficult.
It's not that it's difficult, it's easy to drop frozen peas in hot oil. It's just that doing so would explode hot oil (and peas) all over yourself and your kitchen.
Ok I'm going to attempt that
Italians also do it. Although they put tomatoes in and smash them first.
I knew a guy like this. He said he didn't like sunflower seeds for the same reason he didn't like shrimp. "Too crunchy". Apparently he was eating the shell and all of both of these things...
Did he like bananas?
You take of the skin? Such a waste.. that's where all the electrolytes are.
For most of my life I willingly ate them shell and all
At least you didn't know that wasn't the social norm. Eating sunflower seeds whole is like swallowing splinters and causes constipation. As for shrimp, it's just an unpleasant chew as far as I'm concerned.
I had that experience with lychees. Nobody told me you weren't supposed to eat the crunchy center!
Belongs in the category of things you know once somebody told you. I think we all have little things that nobody has ever taught us and everyone else knows.
There are always cooking directions on the bags.
Legitimately I've snacked on frozen veggies in the hot summer. Anyways, just get all your macros and take in fewer calories than you burn and you'll lose weight.
I won't dog on them since the context implies this is ESL, but seeing "etc." punctuated as though it's an acronym is unholy.
tbf, ignorance is something you giggle at once, before getting over it and educating them. Hopefully OP and their friend got over it and managed some actual change
This isn't ignorance, it's pure idiocy.
"Eat some frozen peas!"
"Ew WTF why are your frozen peas frozen?"
No, it's just ignorance. Expecting the name to be literally accurate is completely understandable. Unashamedly pointing and laughing just makes you a dick.
