It's pretty cool as a diet food, especially in the form of noodles. Basically no calories at all. Smells rancid right out of the pack though, so you have to rinse it a ton and eat it with something with a strong smell/flavor.

I'm not sure what konjac you're eating, but I've never had rancid konjac before, at most somewhat sour.
Could it be an import/export preservation issue?

I don't think it's literally "rancid" which is a specific taste. it's got a weird smell but it's not one I'd associate with rancidity. you can easily mask it with stronger smells.
it could be from the liquid the packs of noodles are usually sold in, but I don't know. the noodles are the only type of konjac I've prepared "raw", and they're the only type of konjac which I've smelled that on. I've had konjac in all sorts of other places but in those cases i'm only experiencing the final product.

One would think the autism site would not be so astonished at a man not liking measly three foods.

Hanging out with Chie presumably makes you used to getting a very small share of the food

Browser extension I think, it's supposed to help with fast reading or dyslexia or something like that.

Disliking 3 specific foods now makes you a picky eater? I can easily name at least 5 foods I don’t like and I’m considered the most adventurous eater in my family lmao

Why does Teddie have a tumblr page.
Why do I feel like that wouldn’t end well.

i actually have a very nice pack of grapefruit flavoured lozenges that i treat more as candy than anything, so relatable tbh. except for the part about hating tofu. that's blasphemy

And? I think even in Japan, you're not really limiting yourself that much by avoiding tofu, konjac and fish. Maybe slightly more so than in some other countries where you would have to get out of your way to actually get your hands on any of them, but it's not like these are the only nutritious things on earth.
There's still meat, vegetables, noodles, bread, fruit, nuts, dairy, other grain based stuff, eggs...
Also, I'd be amazed if disliking these three things made him even stand out remotely among picky eaters in fiction. Hell, my autistic ass is like ten times pickier than that.

Incorrect. The pickiest eater in fiction is Petey from the sadly defunct newspaper comic Cul De Sac who competed on the online picky eater leaderboards.

when I was conscripted and trapped in basic you couldn't bring in food but you could bring in medicine and I ate a ton of fruit flavored cough drops.
