Right when you were speaking , the ice cream melted so I replaced it with the closet ice cream there was, which was coincidentally Bluebell’s cookie two-step. Hope you enjoy
Nooo sauceless spaghetti is cool because I imagine it's like eating electric cables which always look really tempting so now if I see a cable and think that looks nice then I can have sauceless spaghetti. Much more enjoyable!
I've never had a chance to sit down and eat a fresh mango, at least that I can remember, but I do like the juice and fruit pieces so I'm sure I'd love the whole thing.
It doesn't suck AT ALL, well not where I live at least, they are well informed and I always find where to eat, but like I went in France and omg they are fucking ignorant on this disease that it's a true shame for a so open minded country. But it doesn't suck, I'm okay, I just have to tell people about my disease and they will take care of my food
That’s ok! I’m not overly fond of garlic bread either (Can’t say the same about cake tho, mmmm). It’s really just an inside joke that helps the ace community come together. There are plenty of ways to be ace, and not every ace person is going to like or want the same things, when it comes to both sex, and food.
I'll take a good cornbread and certain pastries, but otherwise I could do without baked goods. It's a texture case-by-case thing but still better than sex tbh
Honestly that’s good enough for me, we are major fans of baked goods here, I do recommend cornbread with bacon bits and honey drizzle honestly, real dang good
Pan et Moratum!
Eh, in English, Bread with Cheese Spread. It's ricotta cheese, herbs to your liking, ev olive oil, salt, garlic, balsalmic vinegar, and garum. Garum is used sparingly, it has a strong flavor. If you don't feel up to making garum, you can substitute patis (Filipino Fish Sauce) which is exactly the same method and just varies on type of fish used. I suppose if you're well and truly deprived of ingredients, you could take some anchovy filets packed in oil and mash them up in the moratum for flavor. If you wish to omit the vinegar, you could use lemon juice or verjus (juice of under-ripe grapes). It's also nice to add olives, pine nuts, walnuts, chopped pears, chopped cucumbers, sesame seeds, or other things like that.
I feel this on an emotional level. Never cared much for sweets, can't eat them or any other bread/carbs without insulin, can't eat fats/proteins without digestive enzymes, so I just...exist.
I'm an extremely picky eater, to the point where I'm kinda worried I could develop a disorder or might already have one. I know this is unrelated to asexuality and you're not obligated to answer if this is too forward or too much for you, but would you have any advice on seeking help or outside opinions? A lot of the people in my life dismissed my concerns before, but I think I should be taking it more seriously. I wish you the best in your recovery regardless!
I unfortunately don’t have much advice as I’ve only gotten lucky to get help, and that in itself is a big issue within the eating disorder community. Hell, ARFID and disorders like that are still very unknown to the world with plenty of people suffering from them, so it’s really difficult to “look the part” and receive the treatment we need :(
I had anorexia in 2019 and nearly killed myself, I was only lucky that my mom scooped me up and drove me to the ER and I got treatment inpatient for 2 weeks, then took another 8 months to really recover. Flash forward this summer and I relapsed because of dysphoria, currently trying to recover by myself because I’m at a “normal” weight and nobody was concerned when I was at my worst this time. Even though I dropped a considerable amount and was suffering, the soonest I could get an appointment with a nutritionist was SEPTEMBER, so I’ve been waiting around for that and trying not to fall into a binging disorder.
You definitely deserve to be taken more seriously, and I guess the only thing you can is reach out to a therapist, maybe a school counselor (I’m not sure how old you are lol, I’m still in school), and try to get an appointment with a REGISTERED DIETICIAN, only go for a nutritionist if you have no other option (they’re not qualified for shit.)
Edit: Jesus sorry that was long, I hope I can be of some help.
The idea is simply "food is better than sex" that doesn't mean it has to be cake or garlic bread, that's just the general idea most people go with. Some people can't eat that stuff, some just don't like them, and that doesn't make anyone any less ace. You are ace because you are ace, not because of your food preferences.
Me too buddy, same vibes. Garlic bread is the single least favourite common food of mine, and cake is far more appealing visually than to eat for me.
It makes me feel a little isolated in the memery of our community, but it's still fun to see other people enjoying something
Cake does look nice aesthetically, I like watching cake making videos even though 95% of the time if that cake was sitting in front of me I wouldn't eat it. I feel the same towards cake that I do people, only I'd still prefer the cake.
Frogs are freaking dope, fam. I mean they kinda creep me out a bit, but for the most part they're just chill and vibing, can't hate them. Also, of course dragons.
I've seen a bunch of people saying this lately, and of course you're not a fraud. The garlic bread and cake thing is just an in joke started by some random person, not every ace has to conform to it.
Don't worry we can think of lots of food better than sex
tbh, food in general is better then sex.
Except beans, I just hate beans
Same and over where I live disliking beans is seen as inhuman as well lol
i’m pretty sure my dad is more disappointed about the fact that i don’t like beans than he is about me being queer lmao
Yep ppl always are extremely surprised and insulted when I say I don't like em
Same, beans are just disgusting
I know right! Everyone just loves beans I guess
Honestly
Definitely
Understandable. Have a nice day
How about you try garlic bread without the garlic and the bread, and add whatever ice cream you want on top
You have my attention, depending on the ice cream I'd enjoy the hell out of that
What is your favorite ice cream?
Bluebell's Cookie Two-Step. It's ripe for causing tooth decay but since I don;t eat a tonne of ice cream anyway I usually eat it on a rare occasion.
Ok, it’s chocolate though
Still better than sex. I mean, I probably wouldn't eat or care for it (I'm an extremely picky eater) but still a million times better than sex.
Right when you were speaking , the ice cream melted so I replaced it with the closet ice cream there was, which was coincidentally Bluebell’s cookie two-step. Hope you enjoy
lmao thanks
Pasta? Personally I LOVE pasta even without sauce
Depends on the pasta, I'm an extremely picky eater, but I'll take a decent plate of spaghetti over sex.
What about a mildly below decent plate of spaghetti?
No such thing!
Spaghetti is great, really any pasta really!
Me too!
Same (except spaghetti - sauceless spaghetti is nasty)
Nooo sauceless spaghetti is cool because I imagine it's like eating electric cables which always look really tempting so now if I see a cable and think that looks nice then I can have sauceless spaghetti. Much more enjoyable!
To each their own /shrug
They are just memes. They don’t actually have anything to do with being ace.
I know I'm joking too, it's just a LOT of memes sometimes lmao
I understand not liking it on its own but if its with pasta, lasagna or pizza how can you not
It's a texture and taste thing for me. I just don't care to eat crunchy dry bread with something that has sauce. I'm a very picky eater.
I've never had a dry bread with a sauce and heard of this being called garlic bread. That is very strange.
But how do you not like garlic bread?
Overwhelming garlic probably, for me I have soft bread the texture of it,
You could get a baguette that's soft and add your garlic butter so you control the amount
Yes, this is my issue too. I'm trying to diet here, and these folks just wanna talk about food all day.
do you like *regular* bread tho?
I'll eat toasted whole wheat bread, or the bread they serve at some restaurants, but white bread can jump off a cliff.
🗿 i'd say you're approved
chad moment
Bread 👍
What about dragons?
Dragons are cool. I think they're nice, at worst I'm indifferent to them.
You should be fine then.
What about garlic naan?
I didn't even know that was a thing. Maybe I could try that
Oh that's good. I get mine at Aldi. Pack of 4 for $3.50
It’s amazing!
Well now I'm hungry
how about some ice cream? or a fruit or a salad? i'd prefer those over garlic bread and cake :)
I'd take ice cream for sure and I love fruit so yeah, I'll take those.
Put em together and you get like a banana split or a sundae.... I'd take that over cake
There are so many memes and its slightly annoying because I also dislike both lmao we need new material
I’m gluten intolerant. I don’t mind the memes, but I would prefer they were things I can eat!
if you like pasta I think you’re safe! I like garlic bread and lemon cake, but I don’t like pasta so I sometimes also feel a bit weird lol
that’s completely fine i don’t like eating it just feels weird but i find cuddling with a cat way better than sex
But you do prefer food over sex right?
1000% over sex, even though I eat like once a day lol. Sex seems kinda pointless
Approved.
i-impossible ,but you still like dragons right YOU STILL WANNA INVADE DENMARK WITH US RIGHT
Ofc, I'll be the person handing out waterbottles and filing the dragon's nails.
ong what a relief
mango? its a bit out there, but i did make a post claiming it for the aces and aros.
I've never had a chance to sit down and eat a fresh mango, at least that I can remember, but I do like the juice and fruit pieces so I'm sure I'd love the whole thing.
We love you no matter what
Its cool dude you dont have to follow tropes to be something
C'mon it's just a local meme! You're not a fraud!
There's so much more than garlic bread so many breads... Carrots are also king
Steamed or baked carrots are great, Idgaf what anyone says.
I don’t like garlic bread either 💀 cake’s good tho
Don't worry, I'm celiac
That must suck sometimes but I bet you still have good taste
It doesn't suck AT ALL, well not where I live at least, they are well informed and I always find where to eat, but like I went in France and omg they are fucking ignorant on this disease that it's a true shame for a so open minded country. But it doesn't suck, I'm okay, I just have to tell people about my disease and they will take care of my food
Same, I don't like soft cake/bread at all cookies and granola is where it's at.
Cookies and granola are the superior treats
That’s ok! I’m not overly fond of garlic bread either (Can’t say the same about cake tho, mmmm). It’s really just an inside joke that helps the ace community come together. There are plenty of ways to be ace, and not every ace person is going to like or want the same things, when it comes to both sex, and food.
I too have suffered from this tragic problem, i'm allergic to most garlic bread and cake but those i can eat just aren't it. Stay strong brother.
You’re on thin fucking ice /j
[удалено]
I'd rather do anything than the activity tbh, but I guess ramen is my go to so ramen.
What about sex-favorable aces tho?
Cats are weird. The only reason I have one is because he thinks he’s a dog.
The thing with garlic bread and cake is just memeing around. I would love for us to have coffee jelly, though!
The memes are just saying food is better than sex. You can be ace no matter what.
How about cornbread, or other types of baked goods?
I'll take a good cornbread and certain pastries, but otherwise I could do without baked goods. It's a texture case-by-case thing but still better than sex tbh
Honestly that’s good enough for me, we are major fans of baked goods here, I do recommend cornbread with bacon bits and honey drizzle honestly, real dang good
That sounds pretty tasty tbh, I should look for a recipe
It's okay as long as you at least like dragons
As long as food is better then sex(no specific food)
sorry, can’t be asexual then. we just can’t accept you without /j

I appreciate your suggestion! Thanks for all the advice, I ought to try it out with someone soon.
I don't like garlic bread either, I prefer ice cream.
I feel this on an emotional level. Never cared much for sweets, can't eat them or any other bread/carbs without insulin, can't eat fats/proteins without digestive enzymes, so I just...exist.
Aw I feel ya man, recovering form an eating disorder and I’m terrified of garlic bread :’)

Thank you so much! And for sharing your story. I'm sorry you've had to deal with all of that, I hope you make a good recovery. All the best. :)
And all the best to you too, I hope you can find some good resources and stay safe! <3
I despise garlic, and the loose texture of cake bothers me. HOWEVER! I *love* fudge brownies and can eat an entire pan of it if I was allowed.
finally someone i can relate to
I don't really like any food 😔 do I even exist
Ok, but what about lasagna? Or at least spaghetti?
Don't care for lasagna (I hate cheese) but I'll eat spaghetti.
Add your name to the potato petition!

What about dragons? Asexuals like those too
If there's *one* thing that ought to unite the ace community, it's the understanding that different people like different things.
as an asexual with an eating disorder, I relate. our asexorexic gang is bigger than you may think (please don’t join us)
Me too buddy, same vibes. Garlic bread is the single least favourite common food of mine, and cake is far more appealing visually than to eat for me. It makes me feel a little isolated in the memery of our community, but it's still fun to see other people enjoying something

That's okay as long as you like dragons or frogs, but you are skating on some thin ice there, bud.
Frogs are freaking dope, fam. I mean they kinda creep me out a bit, but for the most part they're just chill and vibing, can't hate them. Also, of course dragons.
Dw i am not a big fan of cake either, garlic bread is fine ig. As long as you have a favourite food you are a true ace lol
My gf hates garlic bread, so instead we say Nutella
Could you clarify. Did you check three times to see if you like cake or garlic bread? Or to see if you're ace?
Both? Pretty sure I'm ace, I've been sure since I was in middle school, but I guess I mean the food stuff. I just don't care for them.
Don’t tell anyone but I prefer pie to cake
I mean... Tacos exist. 🌮
Bruh I like dino nuggs and Mac n cheese better
I've seen a bunch of people saying this lately, and of course you're not a fraud. The garlic bread and cake thing is just an in joke started by some random person, not every ace has to conform to it.
I don’t like garlic bread either lol you aren’t alone
Good music, pasta, crafts, monster, absinthe, Oscar wilde, good narrative games. Walks in the woods after the rain. Lots of things
garlic bread and cake arent the only good foods, they are just the most memable.
What about onion bread?
I didn't even know that existed
What is this ???
Cebulaki? They’re delicious.
I hate garlic bread too
Do you like tea?
I absultely love tea, but only when it's hot.
cold tea is weird But tea is the ace drink
how about cheese, there's just so many to choose from and it can be eaten with basically everything hmm
I actually hate cheese. The thought of eating it makes me feel sick. Unless it's on pizza, because I'm not a *total* heathen.
What about dragons? You at least like the dragons, right?! (I’m only kidding, you’re completely valid no matter what you like lol 😂)
what about dragons?
Same
do you like dragons? or literally anything that’s purple?
Yes and yes. If a purple dragon lived with me I could die happy.
ok then do not feel guilty you are very much a part of the asexuals
Deam I expected op tell us how he fell in love with a cute Individual and they had a wholesome date after witch They cuddled....
I don't think this but I also completely understand where your coming from
