cooking and Si

[Joy]

Obviously any type can cook and even be good at cooking, but how is this related to Si? Are people with weak and/or unvalued Si who enjoy or are good at cooking outliers? Or is it a reasonably common occurrence? This question is arising from this post:

... I also think a EII would be more likely to attempt cooking at least once in a while and would appreciate learning little tips that make cooking easier and food tastier and would appreciate being able to add recipes to their personal dinner menu. They'd probably be willing to try cooking meals themselves even if they did live with someone who was a good cook and would feel pretty darn good about having the meal/dish complimented. Maybe this is less type related than I see to think it is, but it seems a pretty obvious Si-related activity to me. I'd be interested in hearing about this from LII's/EII's about this.

I'm Si PoLR and I can cook and usually don't mind doing it. I can cook quite a lot of dishes pretty well.

I think the Si food connection might mean that a person might be more inclined to cook as part of hosting/caretaking and so in much the same way as anyone else, they get better with practice. I learned for purposes of independence and sustenance, so the inclination to cook often over time in order to get better and more self-reliant was there instead of reasons of being a foodie or wanting to host parties oriented around food.

Some of the best chefs I type EIE.

PoLR can be a place of neurotic perfectionism, and can create a sort of insane obsession over the topic. It's unsuprising Aushra created socionics, as topics can be a area of neurotic perfectionism for polr.

Also cooking/dining has many , and other functional associations as well.

Si-polrs never eat. They live off of hatred and thanatonic energies of death and dispair.

I have weak Si and I will only cook if it is necessary to impress somebody. Otherwise I find the whole procedure of cooking consuming way too much of energy and time. I would rather spend that time reading a book. I am also unwilling to experiment when cooking and don't find any pleasure in dining at all.

I dislike cooking but I will do it to please people and to feed them.

I appreciate your sarcasm for the record, its refreshing

I don't think there's a relationship, I've seen all kinds of people being good or bad at cooking (I personally like cooking even though I recognize it's time-expensive).
