How Different Food Textures Affect the Choice of Foods People Like to Eat
Did you realize how much the different food textures will affect the different choices of food that people like to eat? There is much more to just making quick and easy meals because unless you are also aware of the textures of the food you could find that your meal planning has not been as popular as you thought it might.
The flavor of food has always been paramount in our thoughts but the difference between soft and slushy food and hard and crunchy foods for example, also makes a different in the choice of food we want to eat.
So many people just cannot eat raw oysters but are quite happy to eat Fried Oysters or Oysters in a cream sauce? The oyster is the same but it is the slippery nature of the raw oyster that most people dislike, not the actual flavor.
Feeding babies Many parents just cannot understand why their babies will not eat mashed or creamed food but that is why, it is the soft slushy texture.
Some parents just by-pass that stage altogether and start with finger food because the baby prefers to pick something up in their fingers and eat something a little more solid, something like peas, corn, beans, avocado and cheese to name a few favorites.
Meal planning As children get older they do tend to drop their strong dislike for different food textures but a preference often still remains into adulthood with some people.
Understanding the differences may help you realize why some meals you cook are more popular than others.
This factor of human nature also relates to meals we plan when we are entertaining.
The only difference you might need to make is to change the presentation of your food to the family.
In other words, you may serve roast vegetables instead of mashed vegetables and you may serve boiled eggs instead of scrambled eggs.
See the difference in textures, not necessarily the product? This also is why some people like to eat a lot of raw food like salads which tend to be crunchy whereas other people prefer cooked vegetables which are softer.
Another example is that some people like stews whereas other people would prefer to just have a grilled steak rather than all the gravy.
By understanding and seeing the results from serving different food textures your meal planning should be so much easier and it should help you put quick and easy meals together for the family that you know will be popular.
