    If you’re allergic to shellfish, grow the fuck up. If you still have blue eyes, grow the fuck up. If you were born in January, grow the fuck up.

    See how stupid you sound?

    Don’t you think that if I could get over my revulsion of one of the most common ingredients in recipes across the entire world, I would? Do you know how much easier eating at restaurants and at other people’s houses would be?

      I agree that it’s dumb because people have their preferences but comparing not liking someone to literally being incapable of consuming it is a bit much.

        I have a gag reflex when eating onions (and a couple other random things, like sweet pickles… I love sour pickles, btw). It’s not a preference. My body physically rejects it.

      I don’t like fish. I have tried salmon, cod, tuna, sardines and a couple others MULTIPLE TIMES and my brains just refuse to accept any and all of it. I have tried it as a filet, in salads, on bread, fried, with onions, with whatever else in all sorts of dishes, even soups!

      Doesn’t matter. Brains go ‘nope’. I’ll keep trying it I guess until my brains no longer try to convince me fish are literal poison.

        I’m not fish averse, but my wife is. I have managed to make one fish she likes. Take a frozen Mahi Mahi filet, preheat air fryer to 400F, rub the filet with a bit of oil, and season with garlic salt, bit of black pepper, and a pinch of crushed red pepper. Place on the airfryer (still frozen) for 14 minutes, flipping halfway through. It should end up slighty crispy on the edges, moist and flaky inside. Finish with a good squeeze of fresh lemon juice (it’s essential, don’t use the bottled stuff).

        Mahi mahi is the least fishy fish out there. It still has a fish texture, but tastes like meat. Not dissimilar to chicken.

        But also, it’s perfectly okay to not like something. Don’t waste your money unless you really want to try it.

          Every time my mother decides to go on a diet, when we eat at her place she serves us fish.

          She always loses weight on those diets because she overcooks her fish. It’s nasty.

      As kindly as possible, it’s just a joke, maybe a joke in poor taste, but a joke nonetheless. No one would say this seriously.
