And also about the personal and cultural contexts that mediate our relationship with specific foods, how gender is involved and how joyful it can be.
Mostly the guy nuts tho

in reply to @NoelBWrites's post:
that's interesting; id never really thought about the gender association with nuts, but it definitely was my dad that always had a tin of cashews in the car
im not sure if my tastes have changed much. i think i did eat more nuts during T puberty—i ate more of everything then—but i think that consumption mellowed out long before i transitioned
I also wonder how much of it is culturally specific to the US (or even, white Midwestern men)
Growing up in Argentina I definitely associated nuts with women. Specifically, with "moms"
Meanwhile the adult men I knew were more likely to order dessert or eat a pastry than the women (but then, how much of that is body image issues in the early 2000s?)
