#ive had a ton of different peoples recipes for turkey to make it not dry and they were all dry

I hate that when you say certain meats are dry (fish, certain leaner poultry, game meats, etc) in discussions about food preference people will automatically be like "only if you're cooking it wrong." NO. Some meats are just objectively drier than others because they have lower fat content to keep them tender and moist as they cook. If you've ever had something like duck then leaner poultry like chicken and turkey are dry in comparison no matter how well they're cooked. Likewise, compared to fatty mammal and poultry meat most fish is dry af. It has nothing to do with overcooking it, and I'm not even saying it's a bad thing in general. Just for me personally I don't prefer drier meats and I'd appreciate it when I talk about my food preferences if people didn't just jump right to "you're not cooking it right then". I'm allowed to not like the same foods and textures as you for reasons other than preparing them incorrectly.

#i get this the most when i complain about turkey and salmon specifically #people just like 'you must be cooking it wrong' #JOKES ON YOU I'VE NEVER COOKED EITHER OF THOSE THINGS #ive had a ton of different peoples recipes for turkey to make it not dry and they were all dry #and I've only ever had salmon from restaurants so like... you telling me every restaurant just overcooks tf out of their salmon steaks? #even raw salmon is a drier meat and i would know cuz i eat a lot of different raw fish regularly #but esp compared to the meats people usually eat like beef and pork? DRY. #ndr #not dog related #this is a weird rant lol sorry not sorry #im just sick of people criticizing me for being hyperaware of texture differences in my food and having preferences because autism #if you dont have ARFID then your opinion on food preferences means absolutely nothing to me whatsoever
