Food that makes you go WTF!

[Cyched]

sushi - gross. Cooking meet is what separates us from apes.

So does our spelling

cilantro - tastes like soap and it seems like people try to put it in everything
coconut - don't like the taste, or the consistency
ranch - is just ok. I don't understand the midwest love affair with ranch. Fries are better with ketchup and wings are way better with blue cheese. Rach is for dipping veggies, that's it.
cold pizza - gross

Agree on the Midwest ranch love affair. I kinda understand dipping the crappy school cafeteria pizza in ranch, but seeing grown ass adults do the same with good pizza is a bit much.

For dipping veggies, tzatziki sauce is a healthier dip I've found that tastes great.

What is this abomination? Pickle and onion salad?

My gpa made a dill pickle, onion and apple salad that was very good.

Pickled herring is makes me want to gag every time I see it and why is it on a salad bar?

This is disgusting. I am of Danish ancestory and my grandpa made fun of me for not liking.

 

[Cyched]

I have Swedish ancestry, so I've had plenty of pickled herring.

Pickled herring on a Ritz cracker (Triscuit acceptable)....mmmm

Something our family *didn't* have that I'll rag on my fellow Nordic people for...lutefisk. Let's soak fish in oven cleaner for no reason until it's gelatinous and pungent, then think it's fit for consumption.

I love most foods, but I have a short list of "Hard Pass."

• Liver and Onions
• Smores
• Stuffing
• Carrot Cake
• Red Velvet Cake
• Brussel Sprouts
• Whipped Cream.. except on Pumpkin Pie

Carrot cake with real cream cheese frosting is the best. Mom made it for my bday every year.

Broccoli……vile weed.

I probably eat broccoli 4-5 times a week

Raisins in cookies. Keep those chocolate-chip-imitating, shriveled-up grapes out of my cookies!

Oatmeal raisin cookies are very tasty IMO.

Agree on this. Just about vomit every time I see it on a plate.

How about cauliflower? My grandma would cook the hell out of it. Smelled so bad. To this day I have an aversion to anything cauliflower.

I'm going to guess that you've never had properly made stuffing.

capers. **** capers

Capers with scrambled eggs is pretty f*cking delightful.

Whole fish with the skin/scales and head. Not only does it look disgusting, but it doesn't taste a whole lot better.

Fry or pan sear the filets with some seasoning, please.

Oatmeal raisin cookies are very tasty IMO.

Oatmeal cookies are great...I'm just not sure oatmeal raisin needs to be a thing when there is oatmeal chocolate chip and oatmeal butterscotch chip.

We probably had "oatmeal scotchies" as much as any cookie growing up, incredible.

I mean I'll eat oatmeal raisin too.

 

[SouthJerseyCy]

We have to be swiftly reaching a point where the raisins in cookies generation has passed on, right? I don't like putting the words "Grandma" and "disappointment" in the same sentence, but damnit Grandma.

Oatmeal raisin is the only cookie worth a damn.

 

[CoachHines3]

you have this yet?

I've heard about this. Haven't had it. Isn't it only made during a certain season?

As of a few years ago, I would have gone to my grave thinking cauliflower was one of the worst things that humans regularly consume, however I was out to dinner with some co-workers and someone ordered something called "crispy chili cauliflower" which is flash fried cauliflower tossed in chili sauce, with scallions and sesame seeds. I tried it out of politeness, and I have to admit that it was fantastic.

I was in Reykjavik Iceland about 20 years ago, and there was a restaurant that had a salad bar with 4 different bowls of herring... all of it was amazing. They had pickled, sweet dijon mustard, BBQ, and some kind of a wine sauce. In Iceland, herring is a regular food source (like cows in Iowa), so it's very commonly eaten there.

My point being, Herring is pretty good depending on how you prepare it. In America, we usually only get the pickled version. I'm assuming most people will like Pickled Beets that already like Herring.

Steamed cauliflower with a warm cheese sauce is terrific.
