I don’t know as not liking jambalaya makes him a “man-child.” His reasons for not liking it aren’t the most eloquently expressed thing I’ve ever heard, but to be fair, he does basically get hit in the head for a living. I know nothing about the guy other than he plays football and has a very famous lady friend, but this seems like a weird/inconsequential detail to judge a person on.

Up until this point I had no problems with this guy.

Different strokes for different folks; next non-issue.

You’re being awfully judgey about somebody else’s food choices there, buddy, when it’s literally none of your business.

Most everyone I’ve met doesn’t like at least one food that I like. Life goes on.
This seems like a weird attempt to foment resentment and controversy where there really should be none.

Haha! Look at that guy eating a crust less PB&J in a private jet on his way to Europe for the weekend!
And maybe this is exactly why Taylor loves the guy? He’s not a fussy wealthy everyone tend to my needs type of person. Obviously that Midwestern, good time guy, meat and potatoes persona (dressed in bespoke one off designer suits) does it for her.

Where the hell is he getting that jambalaya, because it should not be soupy

A proper gentleman eats most every food that is presented to him and pretends to love it, rather than expressing personal preferences. For, you know, manliness reasons or something. He is only allowed to have emotions about liquor, and those should ideally be based on the price tag rather than flavor.

Pussycat hates green beans, but she loves far more yucky (to me) shit like squash and Brussels sprouts - and yet we live in the same house

Yeah, and it’s not like he went out of his way to disrespect a local cuisine. The other guy brought up the subject and kept asking him about it, and Travis repeatedly described the issue as being his own mental block, not that the food itself is inherently or objectively bad.

More beans for you, more squash for her. People’s dislikes should complement each other.

I also like Lucinda Williams’ cover.

I don’t eat beans. Or really any legume. I just don’t like the texture. At all. They make me want to vomit. I’m also not a big fan of soup in general. With the exception of vegetable beef barley soup, which if you told me was the only thing I could eat for the rest of my life, I would be ok with that. People are weird. People’s likes and dislikes in food are, unsurprisingly, weird. Travis Kelce seems like a good dude. He has no trouble playing second fiddle to his girlfriend. He’s been strongly pro-vax, to the point where Aaron Rodgers called him Mr. Pfizer, and when Elon Musk creeped on his girlfriend, he did not feel the need to sweep in with toxic masculinity and threaten Musk. For a pro football player, he seems like a pretty enlightened guy, so I think we can let him not like jambalaya because it reminds him of poo. If that’s his worst trait, he’s ahead of 99% of the rest of the NFL.

A BF during the late 80s thought it was ridiculous that I dislike brussels sprouts. He thought disliking any vegetable was absurd.
I bet he hadn’t yet tried kale.
