Food that makes you go WTF!

[throwittoblythe]

I like to think about what the conversation was like the first time someone tried these foods.

“Hey I found this wheel of cheese down in the cellar. It’s been sitting there for months and now has all this blue stuff in it. It smells terrible so I’m going to toss it.”

“Oh yeah that sounds awful. Alternatively, what if we ate it instead?”

I'm pretty open to most foods, but I can't do canned tuna. We fed it to our cats growing up as a special treat, and it makes me think of cat food. Meanwhile, I also don't love the texture of refried beans. Too mushy while also gritty, and they look wholly unappetizing.

TOMATOES!!!!!!

Couldn't agree more, I wish so bad that I liked them and even try a garden picked one every year but still no luck. Still holding out hope that I will like them someday.

And don't get me started on the people that ask me if I like spaghetti sauce or ketchup! Yes I like those things and no they taste nothing like a tomato

Lima beans? Did you grow up during the Great Depression?

Yes, I am 101 years old . . . Now, get off my lawn message board!

Drown one in olive oil with a little salt and pepper. That's how I started liking them, didn't like them growing up.

R & R: rice and raisins with milk/white sauce. Mom made when I was young. Slimy and disgusting

Circling back to pot roast: If you don't like roast in general, understandable. If the aversion is to mixture of roast w/ potatoes/carrots/vegetables, do the roast separately, and prep separate carttos (I have a reliable glazed carrots recipe) and could roast the potatoes (oven or perhaps grilled) or just do mashed.

Less convenient than the full mix, such as for slow-cooker, but might help, and keeps the gravy/meatness away from vegetables/sides.

One I love but most think is demented is popcorn with milk.

That's the only way my dad eats popcorn and it's stomach turning.

Broccoli……vile weed.

And asparagus! Not only does it taste bad, it makes your pee smell strange.

Now that I'm taking GLP1 pretty much all food sounds disgusting.

Tapioca pudding is disgusting

Refried beans mixed with rice are a gift from the heavens.

I love sweet and salty so the strawberry jello desert with the pretzel crust with whip cream and strawberries is amazing

Is it a salad or dessert? Recipes call it a salad

 

[cyclones500]

Agree.

When I was super-young, I liked it quite a bit. It was among my grandma's numerous specialties, and a lot of things as a child, if it's "dessert-ish," it has a tendency for appeal.

Only if you eat enough of it.

Please, someone, I need mustard!

Brussel sprouts. My girlfriend loves them, makes the house smell like s**t!

They make me fart too.

I can take or leave them as a side. But I do like to use them as a dip for tortilla chips.
