I mean I get remarking on something that's delicious when it is. You want to acknowledge when a dish is well done/prepared. But I don't linger, dwell on and analyze it, deconstruct it in my mind later and have dreams about it. It's just food. It goes in the mouth hole, you absorb the nutrients, and you expel it in the crapper. The pleasure part of eating tasty food is just a fleeting sensation.
Now I get that its also a passion for some. And I can respect the concept of something exciting you and wanting to gush about said thing. I do the same. But in a RL discussion, food just isn't a very interesting topic to me, beyond 2-3 minutes of exchanging a recommendation. It can only go so many places and there isn't much controversy or greater meaning to it unless you're two hard-core foodies with differing opinions in a clash.
Like there are only so many times/ways you can tell me that something is delicious and make yummy faces and rub your tummy before I get bored with what you're saying and begin to drift off into the nethers of literally anything else. Great, it's tasty, I believe you. What else? Whats going on in your life?
My friend and his family can (and have) go an entire dinner gathering talking ONLY about FOOD. it's just bananas to me. I left the first time aghast that we didn't touch on a single other topic.
And I actually hate talking about food whilst eating a big meal too. If it's something that clashes with what I'm eating, it can make me feel ill. Or it just serves to make you more hungry for more and then you over-eat.
A small gear grinder but one, nevertheless.

I feel you on this one. I find the topic of food to be pretty boring in general. I’m a utility eater as well. I have tastebuds and enjoy a good meal but it’s forgotten in about 3 mins after I’m done.
I despise food pictures on Instagram, it’s an instant unfollow for me.
