"throwing away food you bought, paid for, and cooked yourself."
i made a pot roast in my slow cooker yesterday and i already know i don't want to eat it. i paid $7 for that pot roast and i ate a corner of it. oh, plus the money i spent on the other ingredients. and i ain't finna eat it. it's b/c there's too much onion in it and my body rejects onions. i'll have bubbling guts all week if i eat that pot roast. so it's going in the trash and i'm eating a Lil Ceez pizza for the next couple of days.
when i was a kid i recall my mom forcing me to eat veal parmesan for a few nights b/c she'd spent so much money on it. i hadn't asked for the veal and had never had it. i didn't like the veal parm (b/c i hate parmesan cheese) and i didn't wanna eat it and that experience was so traumatic that i haven't eaten veal in over 30 yrs. and now as i face the prospect of tossing out that roast i remember my mother yelling at me about how much she'd spent on that good meat that i didn't want. and now the table has turned. and vengeance is mine!

to work. Grad students and even professors will eat anything as long as it's free.
My Mom never forced us to eat anything, but she made us at least try different things. I tried asparagus when I was 6, hated it, and have never eaten it again.

it as mushy meat.
but it was smothered in tomato sauce and cheese so, oh well. but it was nastier than salisbury steak. which was really salisbury hamburger in brown gravy, but i'm digressing.
you picked out the prolly best exception to the no food wasting rule (for food you cooked). you overdid it on the onions and you know its gonna fuck w/ your innards.
i like hot sauce. nay. LOVE hot sauce. and i'll stop and buy those crazy ass hot sauces from the lil boutique shops and whatnot w/ the crazy names.
but hot sauce really don't like me. i KNOW my hind parts gonna pay a penalty. so its a measured risk.
i got this stuff now from NC called Insainasylum sauch or some shit. for a big old plate of rice or something like that, TWO drops is the limit. that shit will burn a wooden spoon like on the old bugs bunny cartoons.
one time i did 3.5 drops. my wife had made hoisin chicken. it was good af. already type spicy. but i *HAD* to add my .02. 3 drops is what i meant, and 3.5 came out by accident.
i'm tryna eat that shit at the dinner table, sweat pouring out my head like on that one key and peele sketch about browser history. my kids go from snickering to cracking the hell UP at the dinner table.
i ate about a fourth of the plate and the heat was too much. i took the L and threw it all away.
so i know what you feelin, bruh.
you can't salvage the pot roast (like warsh your meats on the outside, and then slow cook it again w/ some barbeque sauce or messican flavors to make barbacoa? then throw it on top of a salad or on some tortillas? )

like you said, eating food i really dont like is f*cking awful. i have a similar story to your veal story, but with roast beef. for all i know, i might like roast beef now. dont even care. im scarred.

Was this your first time making it?
This just sounds weird to me because I don't really cook that often but when I do its something I really like so I couldn't imagine cooking it and throwing it away unless it was burned beyond recovery or something like that.
I have a bag of chicken noodle soup mix that I can't use bc it's way too heavy with the onion. I ate some and the next day my gut was torn up. I thought maybe it was cream - but I checked and onion is the second listed ingredient. I have had to toss out the rest of that mix.

but at the same time i wont force myself to eat something that doesn't taste good/will give me an upset stomach (i have various digestive problems). As a result, i am very careful about what i buy & cook.

and they frequently don't eat much, so there is almost always leftovers that I don't want or simply can't eat and that aren't worth saving.
We used to compost anything that wasn't meat; but then we got chickens. The leftover food (and cooking scraps as well) still gets composted but almost all of it gets processed by the chickens first. Those things will eat ANY damn thing. Including chicken.
In short, it feels a lot better to put something I don't want to eat to good use rather than throwing it out.
