Taste and Texture

Turns out taste and texture don't always go hand in hand. You might enjoy the taste of oatmeal but you find its texture boring. Then you mix the oatmeal and bake it like the kids on TikTok. Your brain is attempting to extract the maximum pleasure from food. You can eat it just as is, but our brains seek pleasure, which is why you're saving recipes and adding bits and pieces to achieve the satisfying texture.
