      The image is a shitpost. It is reposted here as a starting point for discussing whether people prefer foods to be simple, which is autism related.

    This post makes me want grilled cheese, but I don’t have any bread right now and all the stores are closed because Thanksgiving.

    I certainly like simple foods with bright, bold flavors. Though I use a shitload of spices. I get hot salsas and blend them smooth.

    I don’t like it when my foods touch, especially if there is any liquid. I can tolerate it with effort and even seem like I’m enjoying it, but my discomfort will come out in other ways, such as seeming distracted or in a bad mood.

    Also, bacon on anything is over powering, and takes away from the meal. I usually prefer all my meals without bacon, except for meals where bacon is the central ingredient (e.g. BLT).

    I don’t like eggs because I find that they have a vomit-like quality to them. I will not eat a hard-boiled egg yolk, and I haven’t in over 20 years. I will not eat deviled eggs. I will not eat egg salad. I will eat scrambled eggs or fried eggs. However, sometimes, I wont eat the egg yolk of a fried egg. If I do, I usually eat very quickly and in one shot because the taste and texture are disgusting to me. I then have to distract myself so that I don’t think about it too much.

    While I know that my particularities may seem trivial or childish to some, this is the best I can do. If you saw me in one of these situations, I wouldn’t mention it nor make a big deal out if it. If anything, I will come up with a reason for why I am not eating, such as feeling sick or full from eating earlier.

      I only like eggs when they’re scrambled. Any other way is gross to me. Especially hard-boiled and deviled.

    My issue is that I seem to only like about 5% of ingredients. So that gets exponentially out of hand pretty quick the more ingredients something has. Although not every “wrong” ingredient immediately ruins something. Some are tolerable, and some even completely redeem themselves in specific combinations.

    So basically, more ingredients just vastly complicates things. When I find a complicated food that I do happen to like, I lock it down and make sure I can make it exactly the same every time so that it never potentially slips out of that comfort zone. Cuz it really sucks when you put an hour or more of work into something and then finally take that first bite, and either have to give the rest away or throw it in the garbage.

      I’ll take your money if you’re throwing it away. A truck like this would thrive only on opportunism, no one is traveling to get this food. Having it be cash only would absolutely kill it.

    I say go to $5 and use high quality ingredients like aged cheddar and sourdough bread. Otherwise the same.

      See, that’s a different kind of truck. This is a truck for generic white bread and kraft singles. I can appreciate both, but it’s like, when I was a kid, my mom bought all kinds of quality sandwich ingredients, and that was cool, but sometimes I wanted to go to my neighbor’s house and have a balogna on wonder bread with miracle whip.

      Exactly. Panera can afford to feed their grilled cheese (fresh American cheddar on baked-in-house miche) with a cup of soup to employees for $3.70 ($7 for general public). So $5 for just the sandwich is absolutely feasible. Might get more customers and increase profit at $3 though, you’d have to experiment with discounts, figure out how many customers certain areas have, etc.

    Okay but this is a little too boring. Add upcharges for vegan cheese, better bread and tomato and basil, maybe garlic, oregano… you’ll still have a killer profit AND product.

        I know butter is the standard, but a few years back someone said I should use mayonnaise as the spread. Way easier to spread it evenly and I feel like it doesn’t get burnt as quickly. I was skeptical at first, but now it’s my go-to. Don’t knock it till you try it.

          Sometimes, when I wonder what people are typing, I look at the keyboard and see that the letters are adjacent and give them the benefit of the doubt.

          Also sometimes, I enjoy grilled cheese sandwiches and I have to wonder what it is that would make someone so sad as to not eat them on what seems to be principle? Cause cheese and butter is delicious and is the basis of basically all french cooking and if you don’t like it, I have to assume that you are a tears and coffee as a staple kinda person.
