I’ve just worked out what was bothering me so much about WandaVision. It was Vision with his whole “I don’t eat food” thing when I am sure I clearly remember him cooking (and tasting from the spoon) in Civil War. I think he said it needed more of some kind of spice? And he would go to the store to get it. He was cooking the dish for Wanda to cheer her up and she wanted to go to the store but he had to say it was better she didn’t leave the tower.

So in that context making such a big thing about not eating seems odd to me. Maybe he didn’t taste it, maybe I’m misremembering but it still seems like it shouldn’t be that big a deal.

I could be wrong because it’s been a while since I saw the movie, but I think what was happening in that scene is he was trying to cook something for Wanda, and when she tasted it she corrected him saying what he put in “wasn’t paprika” and he alludes to the fact that he wouldn’t be able to tell

He said in that scene “in my defense I’ve never actually eaten food” when she made a funny face after SHE tasted it. He sniffed it and he didnt really protest when she said “I dont know what this is but its not paprika”, which leads me to believe he has no taste buds and wouldn’t know the difference even if he had. She might’ve been lying to get away but his response tells me it doesn’t matter. He doesnt eat. He doesn’t taste. He doesnt need to.

@jaythefangirl250 @bloopme911 thanks for clarifying that for me! My stupid memory doh.
