B: AND I THINK LIKE BROWN BROWN SEEDY BREAD I DIDN'T I DIDN'T LIKE SEEDY BREAD AS A KID AT ALL I HATED THE TASTE OF SUNFLOWER SEEDS BECAUSE I ATE THEM TOO MUCH WE HAD SUNFLOWERS WE TOOK THE SEEDS AND THEN I JUST LIKE I JUST OVERDID IT UM BUT APART FROM THAT MOSTLY THE SAME THING I I DID EAT AS A KID I ATE A LOT OF KETCHUP ON TOAST WHEN I WAS AT A BABY SITTERS

A: MM HMM

B: AND I PROBABLY WOULDN'T EAT THAT NOW I'M NOT GONNA LIE TO YOU THINLY SPREAD SO IT WASN'T TOO UNHEALTHY BUT I I WOULDN'T I THINK I THINK I'D GIVE THAT ONE PASS BUT APART FROM THAT I DON'T THINK I'VE REALLY CHANGED I EAT MORE VEGETABLES NOW THAT'S THE ONLY THING BECAUSE I MY PARENTS BLESS THEM THEY THEY WERE VERY GOOD COOKS IN ANY WAYS BUT THEY WERE NOT GOOD AT JUST PREPARING PLAIN VEGETABLES

A: MM HMM

B: BECAUSE THEY WOULD DO THAT THE THING THE BRITISH THING OF BOILING THEM AND NOW I'M A BIT OLDER I KNOW TO STEAM THEM AND THEN LIKE VERY LIGHTLY SEASON THEM AND THEY TASTE MUCH BETTER

A: OH WELL THAT THAT IS CERTAINLY A STEP FORWARD

B: YEAH <LAUGH> YOU LIVE AND YOU LEARN DON'T YOU

A: YEAH YEAH I THINK LIKE GROWING UP IT IT WAS ALSO A THING FOR FOR ME I MEAN I'M I'M AN ONLY CHILD AND STILL IT WAS A THING OF SORT OF FINISHING FOOD AND IT IT BEING REGARDED AS BEING GOOD IF YOU FINISHED FOOD AND UM

B: DO YOU THINK THAT'S SOMETHING TO DO WITH THE OLDER GENERATION LIKE

A: QUITE YEAH THAT'S THAT'S POSSIBLE LIKE I I DON'T KNOW IT DEFINITELY CAME FROM MY PARENTS AND ALSO SORT OF EVERYONE AROUND AROUND ME BEING LIKE OH YES WE'LL WE'LL OR IT'S IT WAS IT WAS NOT NECESSARILY ENFORCED THAT YOU WOULD FINISH YOUR FOOD BUT

B: MM HMM

A: IT IT WAS SUGGESTED OR ALSO LIKE WH WHEN WE WOULD GO TO A RESTAURANT OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT YOU WOULD YOU WOULD TRY TO EAT UP EVERYTHING AND I THINK THAT IS ACTUALLY NOT A GOOD IDEA LIKE

B: NO I THINK IT'S GOOD TO KNOW YOUR LIMITS INSTEAD

A: EXACTLY EXACTLY SORT OF BECAUSE FOR EXAMPLE SAY PASTA I CAN EAT A LOT OF PASTA VERY QUICKLY AND THEN I FEEL VERY VERY FULL AFTERWARDS BECAUSE I'VE OVEREATEN BECAUSE I DON'T REGISTER QUICKLY ENOUGH HOW HOW MUCH I'VE EATEN

B: MM HMM

A: AND UM SO YEAH I I THINK THAT'S THAT'S ACTUALLY NOT REALLY A GOOD IDEA YEAH BUT OTHERWISE I THINK LIKE IN TERMS OF WHAT I NOW EAT IS I THINK I'M I'M A BIT MORE TOLERANT TOWARDS CHEESES UM I CAN SO AND I THINK THAT'S ALSO A KNOWN THING THAT THAT CHILDREN DO NOT OR THAT FOR EXAMPLE SOME BITTER FLAVORS ARE PERCEIVED MUCH STRONGER BY CHILDREN THAN THAN BY ADULTS UM

B: I'VE HEARD HAT AS WELL THAT THEIR THEIR TASTE SYSTEMS ARE HEIGHTENED

A: MM HMM

B: SO WHEN THEY PREFER BLAND FOOD THEY LITERALLY ARE ARE TASTING IN A DIFFERENT WAY TO YOU THAT THEY'RE NOT JUST UNINVENTIVE IT JUST IS STRONG FOR THEM

A: YEAH YEAH EXACTLY AND UM SO I THINK THAT HAS CHANGED A BIT BUT WHEN WHEN I'M ALONE I BASICALLY DON'T EAT CHEESE UM AND ALSO

B: ALL RIGHT <LAUGH>

A: YEAH I I TRIED TO TO EAT MM FAR MORE VEGETABLES AND I COOK A LOT AS OPPOSED TO EATING A LOT OF BREAD WHEN I'M AT HOME AND I THINK THAT HAS MORE TO DO WITH SORT OF UM TRYING TO EAT AS HEALTHILY AS POSSIBLE AND UM ALSO SORT OF BEING A BIT MORE AWARE OF WHAT IS WHAT THE ACTUAL CALORIE COMPONENTS OF FOODS OR CALORIE UH AMOUNTS IN FOODS ARE OR ASSUMING THAT I KNOW I'M I'M NOT QUITE LIKE UH YEAH ANYWAY BUT UM I I THINK YEAH THAT IS THAT HAS MASSIVELY CHANGED

B: MM

A: AND AND I ALWAYS LIKED FISH AND YEAH OH GOING HOME IT WILL BE NICE TO HAVE SOME FISH AGAIN BECAUSE WHEN I'M ALONE I USUALLY DON'T PREPARE FISH BECAUSE IT'S KIND OF A HASSLE

B: YEAH I KNOW WHAT YOU MEAN

A: AND IT MAKES NO SENSE I THINK TO PREPARE FISH WHEN YOU'RE ACTUALLY WITH SOME OTHER PEOPLE AND THEN YOU CAN SORT OF DO IT ALL YOU KNOW IN SORT OF ALMOST IN BULK

B: YEAH

A: AND THEN ALL THE TIDYING UP AND SO ON WILL WILL I MEAN IT'S THE SAME AMOUNT OF TIDYING UP AND CLEANING AND TAKING OUT THE RUBBISH IMMEDIATELY IF YOU'RE EATING IT TOGETHER OR IF YOU'RE DOING IT ALONE AND SO IT'S MORE WORK <LAUGH> TO DO IT ALONE THAN TO TO DO IT WITH OTHER PEOPLE

B: I FEEL LIKE YOU YOU KNOW I I FEEL LIKE AS STUDENTS GO WE BOTH BETTER COOK FOR A LOT OF STUDENTS PARTICULARLY UH LIKE WHEN WE'RE IN THE FIRST THE LIKE FIRST SECOND THIRD YEARS I THINK WHEN YOU GET INTO THE LATER YEARS OF THE DEGREE PEOPLE GENERALLY HAVE LEARNED HOW TO COOK BY THEN

A: MM HMM

B: BUT I I I STILL FEEL IT'S FRUSTRATING WHEN YOU KNOW THE IDEA OF STUDENT COOKING A LOT OF IT IS BECAUSE I JUST DON'T HAVE TIME TO PREPARE BIG MEALS 'CAUSE IT'S JUST ME I'M KIND OF OKAY TO COOK FOR JUST ME BUT IF I'M YOU KNOW AND I DON'T MIND IF IT'S IF IT'S LIKE SIMPLE FOOD OR REPETITIVE FOOD BUT IF I'M COOKING FOR SOMEBODY ELSE OR MY FAMILY I'M THEN A MUCH BETTER COOK THAN I NORMALLY AM SO IT'S NOT THAT I CAN'T COOK IT'S JUST THAT YOU KNOW YOU DON'T WANNA PUT IN ALL THAT EFFORT WHEN IT IS JUST FOR YOU YOURSELF

A: YEAH

B: YOU KNOW THAT YOU'RE A GOOD YOU DON'T HAVE TO PROVE IT TO YOURSELF

A: ALSO LIKE I MEAN I KNOW I KNOW SOME PEOPLE DO BULK COOKING AND THEN JUST EAT IT FOR A COUPLE OF DAYS BUT I'M ALWAYS A BIT LIKE FIRST OF ALL IF I HAVE THIS FOOD SITTING IN THE FRIDGE I FEEL REALLY BAD ABOUT IT AND I FEEL LIKE I HAVE TO FINISH IT AND I ALSO FEEL LIKE I HAVE TO FINISH IT WITHIN TWO DAYS OR SOMETHING BECAUSE I THINK OTHERWISE IT WILL GO BAD AND IT IT SORT OF PUTS PRESSURE ON ME AND

B: MM

A: I I WILL THEN DEFINITELY HAVE TO EAT IT BECAUSE I DON'T WANT TO CHUCK IT BUT UM I I DON'T KNOW I'M I'M NOT I'M NOT A GOOD BULK COOK MAYBE MAYBE IT'S IT'S BETTER IF YOU HAVE MORE FREEZER SPACE AND YOU CAN ACTUALLY STORE IT FOR A BIT LONGER

B: THAT WOULD BE NICE

A: YEAH YEAH

B: I I HATE REHEATING FOOD FROM THE FREEZER THOUGH IT TAKES FOREVER I JUST I HAVE IT IN THE FRIDGE BECAUSE LIKE I'M DEAD PARANOID ABOUT STUFF GOING OFF BUT I FIGURED THAT IF IT'S ONLY VEGETABLES IT CAN BE IN THE FRIDGE FOR THREE OR OR MAYBE LIKE THREE AND A HALF FOUR DAYS AND IT WILL BE OKAY LIKE IF IT'S VEGETABLE SOUP

A: YEAH YEAH I MEAN

B: AND IT'S AN AIRTIGHT CONTAINER THAT'S ALL RIGHT AND THEN I CAN JUST I DON'T HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT I CAN JUST HEAT IT UP

A: YEAH YEAH DEFINITELY ALSO I MEAN YEAH GOING TO UNI THE HEATING UP THING IS ALSO A PROBLEM

B: YEAH THAT'S IT IT'S JUST SO HARD TO LIKE TRAVEL WITH IT BECAUSE THE LIBRARY DOESN'T DO YOU KNOW

A: YEAH YEAH

B: THEY HAVE MICROWAVES I SEE WHY THEY HAVE MICROWAVES BUT THEN THE STUDY ROOM IN THE ENGLISH BLOCK HAVE A MICROWAVE AND THAT'S VERY USEFUL BECAUSE YOU CAN JUST GO YOU KNOW HEAT THE WHOLE THING UP

A: TRUE TRUE TRUE HOW HOW DO YOU FEEL YOUR YOUR FOOD HABITS WILL CHANGE WHEN WHEN YOU GRADUATE

B: I HAVE A PARTNER

A: DO SOMETHING ELSE OR SOMETHING DIFFERENTLY

B: WELL I'M GONNA COOK FOR MY FAMILY WHEN I GET HOME AND IT'S IT'S USEFUL NOW THAT ONE OF MY BROTHERS HAS MOVED OUT UM BECAUSE HE'S A VEGAN SO I'LL HAVE TO THINK ABOUT THAT

A: MM HMM

B: BUT THAT STILL LEAVES MY YOUNGEST BROTHER WHO ONLY EATS QUITE SPECIFIC THINGS AND THEN HE WON'T EAT FOOD THAT'S <DTMF> IN THE WRONG WAY AND THEN MY DAD EATS NORMALLY UM BUT HE DOESN'T LIKE SOUP AND MY MOM IS A PESCATARIAN BUT NONETHELESS I'M GOING TO BE <LAUGH> COOKING NOW SO I I GUESS I'M GOING TO BE THINKING CREATIVELY

A: MM HMM

B: UM BUT IT'S NOT EVERY DAY UM AND IT'S I'M STAYING THERE PAYING LITTLE OR NO RENT IT'S IT'S THE LEAST THAT I CAN DO SO I THINK I'LL JUST GET MUCH MORE INVENTIVE

A: MM HMM

B: AND I THINK I'LL LEARN NOT TO STRESS ABOUT IT SO MUCH BECAUSE I JUST PHYSICALLY CAN'T STRESS ABOUT IF THIS IS PERFECT OR NOT IF I'M COOKING AT THREE DAYS A WEEK MY RESPONSE LIKE WOULD BE WELL IF YOU IF YOU WOULD RATHER HAVE SOMETHING ELSE FOR DINNER YOU CAN MAKE IT YOURSELF THEN

A: YEAH YEAH

B: BECAUSE YOU KNOW I AM THE ONE COOKING TONIGHT AND YOU ALL ARE GOING TO GET WHAT I COOK UM BUT THEN THE THE OTHER THING IS WHEN I MOVE IN WITH MY PARTNER HE EATS A LOT A LOT OF MEAT I DON'T WE'LL HAVE TO WORK THAT OUT SOMEHOW
