Taste and Texture

It appears that the texture and the taste may not always align. You might enjoy the taste of oatmeal, but find its texture boring. You mix the ingredients and bake it just like the kids in TikTok. This is your brain trying to maximize the enjoyment of food. Our brains are constantly seeking satisfaction. You could just take the food and eat it as is. But you save recipes and then add bits and pieces in order to achieve that satisfying taste.
