Almost all breakfast foods---I hate pancakes, waffles, French toast, regular toast, any kind of cold cereal, oatmeal. I will eat eggs, but I want them to be the least breakfast like. So, for example, I like a Mexican omelette but I'd never order just ham and cheese.

Breakfast for dinner is pure hell for me.

I’m not much of a breakfast eater my self. I can eat those foods, but my preference is for other stuff.

A family I grew up with always made lutefisk during the holidays. I was invited out for it once when I was in high school and holy hell what is wrong with people?!?!

 

[CoachHines3]

my wife does the french dressing thing - gross

who you think taught her?

Basically anything that made an appearance of Fear Factor.

Watching someone cover their brat with kraut only to take away the whole brat experience with that smell and taste:

Apparently, you don't believe in German heritage??

If that's the requirement, no haha.

Cold pizza is the breakfast of champions but should be limited to college students.

Fixed it!!

In the year 2025, why are we still ruining glorious banana bread with freaking walnuts?

Ketchup on chicken. Any type of chicken. Why?

 

[cydnote]

Why would you ruin good chicken and make chicken salad? yuck.

Thing is, you wouldn't (or shouldn't). Grocery store chicken is a far less tasty product than a farm raised chicken so I can see trying to put some taste into a rather bland meat. In fact, give me an old stewing hen with some homemade egg noodles and I'm a happy man. Yes, your arteries will clog within seconds but the flavor can't be beat. Growing up, if you dusted a piece of chicken with some flour and pan fried it you never had leftovers, same at picnics or potlucks. Haven't been able to replicate that with store bought.
My MIL liked liver and onions so she would always invite me over when it was on her menu, If there was one molecule of moisture left in it, she thought it was undercooked. Shoe leather.
Had a neighbor that stated he loved liver and onions--his caveat was that after preparing it, throw the liver away and eat the onions,

Pot roast in a crock pot with carrots, potatoes, etc. Never liked it. Why spend all day cooking something that is no good upon completion?

And I get this is an “Iowa” board and everyone prob grew up with this.

despised pot roast as a kid. definitely a regional fare (grew up in Central IL). bland and somehow the potatoes were rubbery and mushy at the same time. the carrots were downright awful. the beef needed a gallon of ketchup to make it palatable.

Taste or texture? Seems like most of these have a creamy or a little slimy texture.

Definitely a texture thing with me.

Cantaloupe/Musk Melon

Watermelon and Honeydew are fine. Cantaloupe/Musk Melon is vile.

Used to work with a person who would eat half a cantaloupe filled with cottage cheese, with lots of black pepper and a side of cold hotdogs, for lunch every week or so. I've never seen a meal that I had less interest in.

Haggis is quite good.... just don't fixate on the ingredients. Hot dogs are loaded with bad stuff, but we eat them anyway.

How Lutefisk is a food is a mystery to me. FFS, it's cured with:

Lye: a strongly alkaline solution, especially of potassium hydroxide, used for washing or cleansing.

And that smell.

I don't necessarily mind it but yeah, it gets in the way of something that didn't need fixing.

I don't know a single grocery store that raises chickens . . . .
