Where is fallacy ? Sugar is sweet I’ve never ordered a cup of sugar in a cafe or seen it on the menu

  Parent claims that because we don’t eat meat plain, this shows that it isn’t the meat that ”tastes good”, its the seasoning. The fallacy is that we could have applied the exact same logic to the seasoning: we don’t eat steak seasoning plain, therefore it isn’t the seasoning that tastes good, its the meat. By parent’s logic, meat both does and does not taste good. The resolution, which has always been obvious to everyone (except hackernews, apparently) is that flavour is the result of the combination of ingredients. That you typically eat X and Y together doesn’t mean X is tasteless and Y is tasty (or the reverse). It just means X and Y combine to make a good dish.

    This is the same site where I read a post about making puree vegetables and freezing them as meal planning, because flavor was secondary to efficiency. So. . .

      Vegetables puree? That's amature hour. This is the same subculture that VC-funded Soylent.
