Seeing this always makes my mouth drool (personally abstaining non-veg, but looking at the MC makes me feel hungry) As a foodie I get the feeling of selfishly eating tasty food by yourself. But after a period of time, it gets boring no matter how good a dish is made. Idk whether he was taught to share food or it's just his inferiority complex when it comes to fast food and preferred ones. So stingy, although it's funny how both humans & NPCs love his cooking (he doesn't need to open charity house for free meals but he can nurture them well then let them go out and learn something or gathering ingredients so MC can eat more and share that joy with trusted and caring others
