    This meme says that they want a specific word with a specific meaning while simultaneously misusing another word that has a specific meaning.

    Interesting.

    There was a Twitter post that said “I’m hungry and all I have are ingredients” and I think about that one a lot.

      I’ve not seen that Twitter, but I have seen that on a sign in somebody’s kitchen. They apparently sell them at Walmart or something now. Trademark your shit, people.

    Good ol’ ARFID (Avoidant/restrictive food intake disorder) for me. It’s cyclical for me, and when it rears its ugly head I’ll basically stop eating for a week or two. Normal meals turn into protein shakes since my throat will refuse to swallow normal food.

      I had not had an issue in over a year. All of a sudden, I lost my appetite. Since then, on most days, I struggle to make myself eat. I’ve been at the “protein shakes are good enough, I guess” stage for about a month now.

      I’ve lost so much weight, that everyone around me is telling me how concerned they are. It’s been over 2 months now. It’s not a good feeling, both physically and mentally.

      People who know, know.

      i have what i call the ihop theory. when you feel this way go-to ihop and order off their lunch menu. everything about the experience will be horrible and you’ll feel terrible for having paid for it. literally the next meal you have will be the best thing you had in ages and you will value every bit of it.

        Ah yes, corollary to the waffle house theory, which is when you have your first All-Star Special at Waffle House and realize that it’s now all you want to eat for the rest of your life.

      Learning to stock my kitchen with things that can be eaten as-is or microwaved changed my life.

      e: I want to share this “recipe” I have for frozen meal prep that’s massively improved my diet. I take ten tupperwares (0.8L, but it doesn’t matter) and roughly portion out:

      • crushed tomatoes with herbs
      • kidney and black beans
      • lentils
      • mushrooms
      • broccoli
      • spinach
      • fish scraps
      • barbecue sauce
      • salt

      Everything’s in a box or frozen without me needing to do anything except rinse the beans, which kind of sucks, but I manage somehow.

      I get the fish scraps free from a restaurant because they’re trash, and they cook in the microwave. I recommend replacing them with a vegan protein like tofu or seitan if you can. If you use meat you’re going to have to cook and separate it.

          I possibly should explain that the fish is safe to eat raw, and the cooking is done completely incidentally to reheating the frozen meal. This would not be a safe practice for most other animal proteins.

        This is key, I like the cut of your jib. Fruit tends to spoil quickly, but who’s going to stop you from eating 1 mango, 2 Florida oranges, 3 apples, and 4 bananas if you’re really hungry but it’s not breakfast or suppertime?

        This is how I ended up with a freezer full of broccoli and green beans, etc. Works great!

      Could be “Heißhunger”… A deep carving for something or a specific meal mostly not available at the moment…

      Appetitlosigkeit is in the dictionary unlike those other suggestions. But it just means not having an appetite. If the problem is making a decision you could talk about Entscheidungsparalyse bedingte Nahrungsaufnahmeverweigerung (rejecting food consumption because of decision paralysis).

      The German word would be exactly that but in German and without space.

      starvingbutwouldratherdiethaneatfoodinthekitchen

      This is how German have a word for everything.

      Nah we just stole “Gusto” (appetite) Also “Gusta” you can be hungry but not have an appetite for anything. And of course you can be full but then the desert arrives, triggering your Gusta

        We have a word for the latter tough: Nachtischmagen (literally dessert stomach). It doesn’t matter how full you are, you always have room for dessert.

      Yeah, or being burnt out/exhausted?

      I can cook relatively well. Not professional restaurant style meals, I have no problem finding a recipe and cooking a meal for mates.

      Often after a long shift and I need food, I just stare at the contents of the fridge and cupboards and think fuck this I’ll just put some chips in the oven

    The love of my life gets hangry like this… the conversation usually goes something like:

    I’m hungry

    what would you like?

    I dunno, I just want food

    We could make _____

    No! not that.

    Okay, does ____ sound good?

    that’ll take too long

    how about _____

    that’s too much work

    what about [takeout]

    I can’t wait that long for you to go get it. I’m hungry now.

    How about [fastest takeout in town]

    TOOOOOOOOO! LOOOOOOOONG!
    I NEED FOOD NOW!

    Uhh… Uhh… We have cereal?

    Eww! Gross!

    I don’t know how to help you.

    I don’t known how you can’t understand that I’M HUNGRY. All I want is food. It doesn’t matter what.

    Well apparently it does matter.

    I don’t need that attitude! I need you to FEEEEED MEEEE!

    Good God! Here’s a snackbar and a sparkly beverage. Go sit down away from the kitchen and I’ll have a box of risotto ready in less than 15 minutes.
