Hungarian here, people often try to minimize seasoning in the food they cook, because they saw some French star chef on TV doing things that way, often they're going even further. I.e. instead of replacing bouillon cubes with soup stock, they just use tap water, jet still claim it's more "luxurious cooking" that way. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 5 child comments replies: [–] ElChinchilla@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago I dont cook pasta in water I used glacial ice permalink fedilink source parent [–] Phanlix@lemmy.zip 0 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (3 children) That's not it at all. Look, I know it's easy to place the blame on those cheese eating surrender monkeys, but this one is on human nature. Multiple scientific studies done by the big food corps have shown, consistently, that the majority of people in the world prefer blander food. You may not personally, but multiple double blind studies have shown that the average Joe prefers blandness, and bland unspiced food tends to sell better than the opposite. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 3 child comments replies: [–] Datz@szmer.info 6 points 1 month ago (1 child) I think there's some context missing here, otherwise cooked unsalted chicken would be a common treat (it's not).

In a blind taste test most people prefer the flat one because it's less 'eggy'. I mean strong spices, most people prefer blandness, at least in the US. permalink fedilink source parent [–] Eheran@lemmy.world 1 point 1 month ago Can you link those studies? My 5 minute "research" was pointing the other direction. There are people who like bland more, but not the majority or something. permalink fedilink source parent
