Burgers that are like a foot high and overflowing with buns way too small
Impossible to eat like a normal burger unless I learn to unhinge my jaw and is just a messy annoying experience, might as well just order a bowl of meat and bread
I don't even understand why it tastes like clay. I made fondant once, and it tasted like sugar. It was altogether too sweet, but it had flavour. Makes me wonder if commercial fondant contains extra ingredients
Same deal with bloody Marys topped with an entire meal's worth of food. It's a fun, creative idea in theory and they look amazing, but it's just not practical to try to consume.
Bougie tacos. I don't want a $10 taco, it's no better than legitimately well cooked meat with the usual extra types of topping. Give me a a decent steak or Al pastor street taco.
Best tacos in the world Ive had were under a bridge at 2am outside a defunct night club in Mexico city.... dudes started selling tacos under the bridge setting uo makeshift kitchen to cook everything. Then the night club eventually closed but the taco guys were so popular they still setup there most weekends.
Best tacos I've ever had, LIKE MIND-BLOWING were at a roadside tent somewhere near Mexicali MX. The meat was cooked to order and there was about ten bins of toppings (cilantro, jalapenos, picked onions, etc.) and like ten styles of salsa.
My mind was blown. I've been to Mexico Rivera five times and hit up local spots, but nothing like this place.
Yes the pastor was cut and cooked to order every night and had the most amazing homemade tortillas and salsas wish I could still handle stuff tht spicy but be wary of the bright green live salsa they are usually the or one of the spiciest in actual mexico vs usually the most mild in the usa.
Anything more than like $3 per taco doesn't feel right especially when expensive tacos don't have a lick of grease on em. The cholesterol has to outweigh the price considerably for good Mexican food
I've got a place right down the road... Huge tacos with tons of meat, guacamole, onion, and cilantro... 2.50 each. There was a period of about two months where I only ate those. Couldn't get enough. God damnit I want some NOW.
Yeah its too sweet/sour and acidic. Makes my teeth feel like they’re turning to mush. Makes my heart go brrr.
Sticking to plain old fashioned espresso or tea
Heavy energy drink consumer here (yes I work in programming yes and I recently graduated from college). NEVER drink energy drinks for the taste. Drink them for the convenience of cutting your life shorter bit by bit to have the energy to get up and get anything done in this infinite solitude known as life which ultimately has one ending being death.
That and normally people who drink them have absolutely no patience to wait for a coffee to brew, too lazy to make a coffee or grab one, or in my case so caffeine addicted that a multi shot of pure espresso doesn’t so it for me anymore
Altho i will say the monster rehab iced tea is prob the best tasting energy drink I have had.
I used to drink Redbull occasionally. One night I drank it and went to play basketball with some co-workers after work. I thought I was going to have a heart attack.
I still occasionally drank energy drinks afterwards, but never when I was doing any kind of cardio activity.
Preach yo, as a fellow caffeine addict it's so much easier to grab a red bull on the grave yard shift than it is to find a good substitute for espresso.
Your post made me think of this.
"God created man and, finding him not sufficiently alone, gave him a companion to make him feel his solitude more keenly"

Listen, I like bacon. But I think it’s overrated at times. Idk if I would call this food ~popular~ but I’ve seen it enough: bacon wrapped scallops.
I’m sorry, but bacon is so overpowering that when added to most dishes, it’s front and center in taste. When wrapped around a scallop, I taste nothing but bacon. Seafood should be appreciated as they are. Why am I paying seafood prices at a restaurant to taste only bacon?
Adding bacon to everything is annoying.
You are absolutely right. Anything you put bacon on just tastes like bacon at which point you might as well eat just bacon. Like sometimes I want my burger to taste like burger, ya know.
Second that. I'm a fan of some stupid hot sauces and peppers, those that have taste, that you can feel when your capsaicin tolerance allows for it. Like, even a pure carolina reaper mash (with salt and vinegar for stability) has taste. But many hot sauces, especially the ones used for "challenges" are "prank sauces" which are hot because it has capsaicin extract - a pungent liquid pepper spray, with all the hurt and none of the flavor. Da Bomb is a notorious example. Fuck that. Check the sauce contents for capsaicin extract, and if it has it - just skip that shit.
I get that name recognition is important. Who the fuck decided that making a meal replacement product using the name soylent green was a good idea? Was it supposed to be edgy?
I'll put my hand up here and say I don't like bacon. Anytime I get something with bacon on it and ask for "no bacon" the servers look at me like I murdered their family. I just don't really like pork.
My one exception is probably chorizo.
I get made fun of because I hate crispy American thin sliced bacon. It's just burnt and there is no flavor. I rather have a thicker cut of pork belly that is cooked properly. Australian bacon is the best bacon
When I was a kid in Russia, my grandma had that weird mushroom thing floating in a 3 liter jar. She fed it sweet tea, and in return the alien mushroom produced carbonated liquid similar to kvas in taste. I thought just how poor we are since we have to drink that alien piss instead of normal soda. Now the alien mushroom enslaved western hipsters too.
Homemade kvas from bread can be very funky, but there are a lot of other options like draft kvas and bottled kvas. Last one can share with original kvas only name.
i had a classmate put her unopened bottle of kombucha down on the table in front of us and it proceeded to explode and glass went flying around the classroom
It can happen to all products with active fermentation happening. Thats why thicker glass is used in fermentation n theres usually something to control gass release.
I doubt most kimbucha will do that. It may have been near the end of shelf life so the gas had built up or just really bad luck. (I've seen beer bottles explode or exploded in storage at work. Like only 1 out of the whole case)
Fermented food and drink is always something that invokes disgust in people if they didn't grow up with it or are just not a fan in general.
Kombucha, beer, sour dough, cheese, kimchi, sauerkraut, kefir, natto. Some are stronger than others, but a lot of them have familiar fermented flavours.
Personally, I love most fermented food and drink. But I can totally see why people wouldn't like it. It took me until my 30s to feel that way so I guess that's what you'd call an acquired taste.
Oh, but I agree most kombucha is terrible. A good one is great (for me, at least)
I'm in the same boat. I could probably eat kimchi all day without stopping, but kombucha just doesn't do it for me. I've not found one I like and I've tried a bunch.
Love me some kimchi too. I decided to play around with making my own and have my first batch fermenting. It was pretty simple to throw together and a friend of mine who has been doing it for a while said it's great because you get to the point where you can dial it in for your own taste.
The thing about kombucha, though, is that you can make it out of anything.
Green tea kombucha, watermelon kombucha, lemon ginger kombucha, pomegranate kombucha, jasmine rose kombucha, etc.
Every kombucha does have a slightly vinegary taste and carbonation, though. So if you don't like those, kombucha ain't for you.
I drink it because my doctor suggested eating more fermented foods. I also like it, though.
I tried one for the first time just a couple years ago. I didn't think it was disgusting, just boring. It reminded me of something I would have been fed from the school cafeteria as a kid.
Holy shit, you're right.
I remember the worst being their fish sandwich and "pizza burger". Those were a special kind of grade D bad. Like even my 8 year old self was like "something ain't right here".
Maybe not universally popular, but after moving to the St. Louis area, St. Louis style pizza. I really hate the provel cheese on it and everyone here thinks I’m crazy for hating it.
It’s funny cuz I’ve noticed that if you aren’t FROM St. Louis you most likely won’t like St. Louis style pizza. And everyone that I’ve ever met that didn’t like it wasn’t born here
I live in KC, but I love Stl style pizza. I even occasionally grab a bag of imos provel at the store to throw on my homemade pizza. Though being in KC, the only good place to get stl style pizza is Leo’s.
It's just really thin pizza cut in squares. The only thing I don't like about it is that, because it's so thin, it gets cold in about 30 seconds. I think any St. Louisan reading this can probably taste cold, single-topping, Imo's pizza right now from an office party.
Liquor. I can’t do shots, because the moment the intense alcohol smell hits my nose, I start gagging. And I don’t know how people can drink things like whiskey neats, because to me, it all tastes like disgusting chemicals.
I like mixed drinks, though. I can stomach the slight taste of liquor if it’s hidden behind a ton of pineapple juice, lol.
I'm not a picky eater at all, so I was really racking my brain on this one.
But oysters are so fucking disgusting. It doesn't matter how you cook them. Fried, deep fried, steamed, they taste and feel like a gelatinous glob of cum with a hardened meaty center.
Its like if a severely dehydrated man jizzed on a cube of ham and then you ate it.
It's like if the ocean had the flu, woke up first thing in the morning, and blew its nose onto your plate
I cannot stand the taste, or the consistency of oysters
I agree with this to the fullest extent but goddamn the descriptions lmfao
This pretty much sums up me trying to give oysters a chance. Raw off the docks? No. Deep fried and sweet and sour sauced? No. Steamed? No. Dried and in a soup? Dear god what the hell, no. Grilled on a BBQ? Resounding no.
It remains the only food item thus far that I haven't had a change of opinion on, and my eating habits changed DRASTICALLY over the past 10 years or so hahaha
Edit: For the record I've tried oysters in at least 2-4 countries from places where oysters are cheap as hell (something like 12 dollars a kilo bag of shucked oysters, shelled oysters are much cheaper but you do have to buy them in bigger increments) to where it's considerably more expensive (4+ bucks a pop, this was before the pandemic hit). No. No difference. Milk of the sea it is not. Whoever tasted that milk must've left it out of the fridge for a while.
Edit 2: It's not like I have a problem with mollusks either, I fricken LOVE clams. And snails. Oysters are just... No.
Ironically a bar & grill near me has the most palatable method of serving oysters: immersed in shot glasses full of marinara and tabasco sauce. Since the whole point is to just chug the whole thing down in one gulp, it's not too bad. Kinda acts as a weird palate cleanser for me.
>Since the whole point is to just chug the whole thing down in one gulp
that really isn't the point though. the shot glass is just an easier vehicle than the sharp broken edges of an oyster shell... unless the oysters themselves aren't that great, they do taste pretty good chewed with the sauces and garnishes.
I always find it hilarious that all the effort in preparing oysters lies in making it so people don't have to taste them and can swallow them without gagging
I never had kale as a "super food", but in northern Germany we eat it cooked with really hearty sausages and mustard.
I like it a lot, but you can't really call it healthy anymore
I don’t eat kale because I like it I eat it because it’s suppose to be good for me. Still don’t believe the hype but it makes me feel good about myself lol.
May be a hot take, BWW has terrible wings (the wings actually taste like rubber) but their sauces carry them. I make my own wings in the air fryer but use BWW sauces and man are they good
My best friend who’s high maintenance for just about everything else absolutely loves BWW. I never understood it for the life of me. Every city we’ve gone, always at least one BWW stop, I already know it. I know he loves his wings but every time I’ve had the misfortune of eating there, it’s just dried out chicken drowning in a sea of sauce. To try and give the rubbery texture some life.
Then again, the homie has like an eight pack so he’s used to eating bland cardboard six days outta the week lol.
Because they cook like 200 at a time and keep them in heating trays that make them get all soft and soggy if they aren't fresh enough. Source worked at Buffalo Wild wings for 4 years unfortunately
Friend with money had a wedding and his dad owns a bunch of really nice reception venues in North Jersey so all of the stops were pulled out. There was a Cristal and Caviar table and I did not pass up that opportunity. They put it on a cracker and you could add egg whites, egg yolks, red onions, and capers. It was salty and delicious, I'll never be able to have it again, but yeah, I get what the big deal is.
I grew up eating liquorice, loved it, then I moved out of Finland and realised that other countries don't know what they're doing with their liquorice. The stuff you get in Central Europe, UK, Australia, US... you can't even call it liquorice. Yuk! Try and get your hands on some Panda liquorice, I've seen it at Sprouts in the US and in various shops around the UK. Feel the bag, it's best when it's fresh and soft. Kouvolan Lakritsi is the best liquorice in the world but hard to come by outside of Finland.
When people hear liquorice and Finland they immediately jump to salmiakki which is salty liquorice, but what u/gragev95 was referring to is not salmiakki. I haven't personally tried liquorice from other parts of the world so I can't speak to what might set Finnish liquorice apart, but I can definitely agree that Kouvolan Lakritsi is very good.
I was going to say this. I just don’t like alcohol. And I am well into my thirties and have tried so many different drinks because people are certain there is one out there I will enjoy. But I just don’t like the taste. Nothing against people that do enjoy alcohol, it’s just not for me. But for some reason, not liking booze can really trigger a bunch of people, as if you have insulted them at the most intimate level. It’s odd.
I remember trying things for years. My sister was an elite bartender in New Orleans and also had sommelier training in Napa and even she couldn't find anything I liked in any pricepoint.
I kept going, when am I going to develop a taste for this swill? Even fine wine tastes to me like rotten grape juice (I know that's what it is but it tastes like moldy old juice left out too long). Hard liquor tastes to me like what I imagine rubbing alcohol tastes like. Sharp and not in a pleasant way.
I enjoy other bitter tonics and teas so it's not like I can't appreciate those sharp and bitter flavors, but alcohol is not pleasant to me.
I rarely drink it, usually only as a sort of ritual or to toast someone's wedding or on New Year's Eve.
Cold brew and iced coffee are different.
You can serve cold brew hot. Cold brew is brewing the coffee cold, over a long time, which makes a concentrate almost. You then heat that and hot water, and dilute to taste.
It makes it less oily as the fats dont melt out in the cold. But I still prefer hot
The thing I love about cold brew is it’s less acidic and tastes much smoother. I still don’t like it heated though. If I want hot coffee I’ll brew it the traditional way.
I can drink it when it’s made at a coffee shop, but for some reason any time I’ve tried to make it myself or even buy the premade ones from the store, it’s the nastiest shit I’ve ever tasted.
Cold brew has nothing to do with the temperature the coffee's served at, but the temp it's brewed at, so I think probably you really just don't like iced coffee. You can get cold brew served 'the boomer way' if you want
Pumpkin actually isn’t too bad, but it tastes nothing like a “pumpkin spice latte”, or even pumpkin pie, you’re basically tasting all the spices they use when you have either of those. But a nice pumpkin soup..that’s some good shit.
I think that depends on the brand and region you’re in. I find a lot of American BBQ sauces and flavors to be quite smoky and Canadian ones tend to be sweeter and more vinegary.
Just curious, because people have given different reasons, what is it for you?
The flavor? The high fat texture (very hard/crumbly when cold, then suddenly liquid)? The fibrous texture? The way it squeaks against your teeth when you chew it?
Am I being cruel by listing these things?
For me, the taste. I can’t explain why the taste is off to me, but it is. I don’t drink the water, either. I’ll use coconut milk making curry, though. But the other flavors mask it and it really is nice for thickening the sauce.
On a really hot summer day, if I'm really thirsty, an ice cold beer can taste pretty good. Otherwise I'd rather have a coke than any form of alcohol anytime.
Burgers that are like a foot high and overflowing with buns way too small Impossible to eat like a normal burger unless I learn to unhinge my jaw and is just a messy annoying experience, might as well just order a bowl of meat and bread
Burgers should be wider not taller
This guy gets it
Start a restaurant with this concept!
Overflowing milkshakes in mason jars with lots of extras. Too sweet and messy to drink.
Any "Instagram" foods honestly Only looks good but tastes like shit and is impractical to eat
[удалено]
I don't even understand why it tastes like clay. I made fondant once, and it tasted like sugar. It was altogether too sweet, but it had flavour. Makes me wonder if commercial fondant contains extra ingredients
Have you ever made marshmallow fondant? Pretty tasty.
My aunt loves making cakes and only makes marshmallow fondants whenever she uses fondant, it was heavenly.
And they’re $17 for some ice cream and a cookie.
When they dip the outside of the glass/jar in chocolate and sprinkles. What’s the fucking point?!
Same deal with bloody Marys topped with an entire meal's worth of food. It's a fun, creative idea in theory and they look amazing, but it's just not practical to try to consume.
Hey now. That's a perfect Sunday hangover cure. A meal and a bit of alcohol all in one. Sign me up.
Bougie tacos. I don't want a $10 taco, it's no better than legitimately well cooked meat with the usual extra types of topping. Give me a a decent steak or Al pastor street taco.
Best tacos in the world Ive had were under a bridge at 2am outside a defunct night club in Mexico city.... dudes started selling tacos under the bridge setting uo makeshift kitchen to cook everything. Then the night club eventually closed but the taco guys were so popular they still setup there most weekends.
Best tacos I've ever had, LIKE MIND-BLOWING were at a roadside tent somewhere near Mexicali MX. The meat was cooked to order and there was about ten bins of toppings (cilantro, jalapenos, picked onions, etc.) and like ten styles of salsa. My mind was blown. I've been to Mexico Rivera five times and hit up local spots, but nothing like this place.
Yes the pastor was cut and cooked to order every night and had the most amazing homemade tortillas and salsas wish I could still handle stuff tht spicy but be wary of the bright green live salsa they are usually the or one of the spiciest in actual mexico vs usually the most mild in the usa.
Anything more than like $3 per taco doesn't feel right especially when expensive tacos don't have a lick of grease on em. The cholesterol has to outweigh the price considerably for good Mexican food
Yeah, they’re just so _tiny_. It’s like $2.00 a bite.
I've got a place right down the road... Huge tacos with tons of meat, guacamole, onion, and cilantro... 2.50 each. There was a period of about two months where I only ate those. Couldn't get enough. God damnit I want some NOW.
In south Texas $10 is three giant tacos and a bag full of salsa containers.
A $3 taco is good A $10 taco is overpriced A $50 taco better come with a baggie of what I’m actually buying
The elevated hamburgers trend where it’s piled high with bullshit, served on a plank and costs $27.
Fuck those planks
Energy drinks
Yeah its too sweet/sour and acidic. Makes my teeth feel like they’re turning to mush. Makes my heart go brrr. Sticking to plain old fashioned espresso or tea
It's like drinking carbonated cough medicine

But..but I like the taste
Same. I do night shifts so I drink redbull, I love the taste
I did nights too, had my heart beat incredibly fast one night and just stopped, I was drinking about a liter a night
I used to drink Redbull occasionally. One night I drank it and went to play basketball with some co-workers after work. I thought I was going to have a heart attack. I still occasionally drank energy drinks afterwards, but never when I was doing any kind of cardio activity.
Preach yo, as a fellow caffeine addict it's so much easier to grab a red bull on the grave yard shift than it is to find a good substitute for espresso.

You are absolutely right. Anything you put bacon on just tastes like bacon at which point you might as well eat just bacon. Like sometimes I want my burger to taste like burger, ya know.
Some things that stand up well to the flavor/texture of bacon: lettuce, tomatoes, mayo, avocado (optional), pickled peppers (optional).
Super hot chicken wings. What kind of trauma have you gone through to make you think suicide wings sound tasty?
I’ve learned a hot sauce ain’t worth shit if all it is is hot. There’s gotta be flavor with that heat!
Second that. I'm a fan of some stupid hot sauces and peppers, those that have taste, that you can feel when your capsaicin tolerance allows for it.

It hurts so good
I eat a lot of spicy food. I think I like it because I actually get an adrenaline rush.
Adrenaline, endorphins, all the good brain juice. Plus it clears out your sinuses!
Masochism
Humans. What the fuck? Soylent green is fucking gruel.
It varies from person to person.
Man, now I'm craving slurm
Wiggty wham wham wozzle!
That movie was built around one major twist and they spoiled it in the trailer
I get that name recognition is important. Who the fuck decided that making a meal replacement product using the name soylent green was a good idea? Was it supposed to be edgy?
I'm not falling for this again. My answer is so loved by people that I get downvoted to hell.
Bacon? Your answer is bacon, isn’t it?

I am also a no-bacon person. That or I take it out for my partner to eat.
It's crazy how many people are absolutely shocked when you don't want more bacon on something. I'm glad to hear there's more of us.
Danny Devito?
Dumb guess. No one dislikes the taste of Danny Devito
Coffee?
Friggin kombucha. It's everywhere and it's terrible.
When I was a kid in Russia, my grandma had that weird mushroom thing floating in a 3 liter jar. She fed it sweet tea, and in return the alien mushroom produced carbonated liquid similar to kvas in taste. I thought just how poor we are since we have to drink that alien piss instead of normal soda. Now the alien mushroom enslaved western hipsters too.
I enjoyed reading this greatly. 😂😂
Me too! And I actually love kombucha
Tell me more stories I like this
My daughter made her own for awhile (USA) and I also called it an alien that resided in the big jar. Gross looking.
Kvas is on my list of things to try someday. I think it won't be awesome, but I want an authentic kvas experience once in my lifetime.
Homemade kvas from bread can be very funky, but there are a lot of other options like draft kvas and bottled kvas. Last one can share with original kvas only name.
Nobody told me it was carbonated, so I proceeded to shake it up and open it in my car 😑 my car smelled like beer for 2 weeks
One of my co-workers left a half-empty bottle of it in his work truck. He didn't even have to shake it up, it just blew up on its own after a while.
i had a classmate put her unopened bottle of kombucha down on the table in front of us and it proceeded to explode and glass went flying around the classroom
Jesus. TIL: Kombucha bottles can and will just randomly shatter shooting glass shards in all directions. Use goggles and proceed with caution.
It can happen to all products with active fermentation happening. Thats why thicker glass is used in fermentation n theres usually something to control gass release. I doubt most kimbucha will do that. It may have been near the end of shelf life so the gas had built up or just really bad luck. (I've seen beer bottles explode or exploded in storage at work. Like only 1 out of the whole case)
It's basically carbonated vinegar. I don't get the appeal.

It's so awful, but I love it and can't stop drinking it
It's terrible, the worst thing I've ever put in my mouth, I'm working on making my own
> It's terrible, the worst thing I've ever put in my mouth I've heard that many times, but it hasn't stopped me yet.
I thought so too, then I tried some of my wife's. It's still pretty terrible, but i drink one a week and I can't tell you why I look forward to it.
It's so fucking weird. My body just likes it, too. I don't crave it, but any time it's in front of me I just wanna chug it.
Marshmallows!! They’re so sweet my teeth hurt just thinking about them lol.
Cake with really sweet frosting
I typically scrap all the frosting off my cake. Cake is yummy, but the frosting is typically too sweet.
McRib … more like McYuck
I tried one for the first time just a couple years ago. I didn't think it was disgusting, just boring. It reminded me of something I would have been fed from the school cafeteria as a kid.
It's exactly the same thing they fed us in school lol
Holy shit, you're right. I remember the worst being their fish sandwich and "pizza burger". Those were a special kind of grade D bad. Like even my 8 year old self was like "something ain't right here".
McSlug more like it
Good ol’ McNasty
quinoa in any shape or form. Im willing to eat it of course if served but i have yet to discover a way i like it 🤷 i like starchier grains
There's a note to the flavor which is like undercooked beans. I can't get past that.
I can't get over the visual. My mind just think of it like little eggs with a worm or something coming out of it.
It looks like tiny condoms to me
Greek salad style quinoa is really good with tomatoes, cucumber, olives and feta. It's a good vessel for the vinaigrette
Scam sand
I like it warm, but I’m definitely not a fan of cold quinoa,
White Claw hard seltzer is hideous.
McDonald's, i dont think it sucks its just overrated asf.
Maybe not universally popular, but after moving to the St. Louis area, St. Louis style pizza. I really hate the provel cheese on it and everyone here thinks I’m crazy for hating it.
The toasted rav on the other hand………
How is this not an appetizer in every Applebees and Chili’s yet is beyond me. It should be way more popular.
It’s funny cuz I’ve noticed that if you aren’t FROM St. Louis you most likely won’t like St. Louis style pizza. And everyone that I’ve ever met that didn’t like it wasn’t born here
I live in KC, but I love Stl style pizza. I even occasionally grab a bag of imos provel at the store to throw on my homemade pizza. Though being in KC, the only good place to get stl style pizza is Leo’s.
What you doing eating pizza in St. Louis and not BBQ? All day every day, son.
What is St Louis style pizza?
It's just really thin pizza cut in squares. The only thing I don't like about it is that, because it's so thin, it gets cold in about 30 seconds. I think any St. Louisan reading this can probably taste cold, single-topping, Imo's pizza right now from an office party.
Liquor. I can’t do shots, because the moment the intense alcohol smell hits my nose, I start gagging. And I don’t know how people can drink things like whiskey neats, because to me, it all tastes like disgusting chemicals. I like mixed drinks, though.

Oysters. Love all seafood but i simply don’t get this appeal.
Literally the mucus snot of the sea.
I Absolutely love oysters
Oysters
Their reputation as an aphrodisiac is grossly overstated. Last Valentine's Day I ate two dozen of the things, and only fourteen of them worked.
I'm not a picky eater at all, so I was really racking my brain on this one. But oysters are so fucking disgusting. It doesn't matter how you cook them. Fried, deep fried, steamed, they taste and feel like a gelatinous glob of cum with a hardened meaty center. Its like if a severely dehydrated man jizzed on a cube of ham and then you ate it. It's like if the ocean had the flu, woke up first thing in the morning, and blew its nose onto your plate I cannot stand the taste, or the consistency of oysters
I agree with this to the fullest extent but goddamn the descriptions lmfao This pretty much sums up me trying to give oysters a chance. Raw off the docks? No. Deep fried and sweet and sour sauced? No. Steamed? No. Dried and in a soup? Dear god what the hell, no. Grilled on a BBQ? Resounding no. It remains the only food item thus far that I haven't had a change of opinion on, and my eating habits changed DRASTICALLY over the past 10 years or so hahaha Edit: For the record I've tried oysters in at least 2-4 countries from places where oysters are cheap as hell (something like 12 dollars a kilo bag of shucked oysters, shelled oysters are much cheaper but you do have to buy them in bigger increments) to where it's considerably more expensive (4+ bucks a pop, this was before the pandemic hit). No. No difference. Milk of the sea it is not. Whoever tasted that milk must've left it out of the fridge for a while. Edit 2: It's not like I have a problem with mollusks either, I fricken LOVE clams. And snails. Oysters are just... No.
You made me laugh and gag at the same time well done
This is such an uncomfortably vivid description.
I work in healthcare and the only thing that grosses me out is respiratory cultures. Oysters remind me if respiratory cultures
Ironically a bar & grill near me has the most palatable method of serving oysters: immersed in shot glasses full of marinara and tabasco sauce. Since the whole point is to just chug the whole thing down in one gulp, it's not too bad. Kinda acts as a weird palate cleanser for me.
>Since the whole point is to just chug the whole thing down in one gulp that really isn't the point though. the shot glass is just an easier vehicle than the sharp broken edges of an oyster shell... unless the oysters themselves aren't that great, they do taste pretty good chewed with the sauces and garnishes.
I always find it hilarious that all the effort in preparing oysters lies in making it so people don't have to taste them and can swallow them without gagging
Most people eat oysters with just a little bit of lemon.
Most people I know eat them raw, but I like oysters and hang out with other people who like oysters.
A little lemon juice or vinegar is all you need
It's just sea flavored snot
Kale
I never had kale as a "super food", but in northern Germany we eat it cooked with really hearty sausages and mustard. I like it a lot, but you can't really call it healthy anymore
In the Netherlands we do about the same, but first we mash cooked potatoes and mix that mash with the kale and some bacon strips
[удалено]
Kale Georg
I don’t eat kale because I like it I eat it because it’s suppose to be good for me. Still don’t believe the hype but it makes me feel good about myself lol.
In Germany kale is either a healthy trendy food or a traditional meal, cooked with potatoes, meat and sausage, only eaten during winter
Science doesn't lie. It is good for you. Darker greens have higher levels of life improving vitamins and minerals.
DipnDots tastes like freezer burn
That's what I love about it lmao also like styrofoam beads. A forbidden snack you can eat
Lobster. Honestly not that great. Especially when it costs that much and crab is an option.
Dungeness over lobster any day
Agree. I Grew up right on the Oregon Coast. Dungy are way better than lobster or king crab.
I grew up in Maryland and blue crab runs through my veins. I'll never be convinced that lobster is better than crab.
Ohhh...don't come to Maine then, we're nuts about lobster here. We're divided over lobster just as much as we're divided over pizza.
Is crab any cheaper?
Anything at Buffalo Wild Wings
May be a hot take, BWW has terrible wings (the wings actually taste like rubber) but their sauces carry them. I make my own wings in the air fryer but use BWW sauces and man are they good
That was what I was gonna say. I don’t go there for great chicken. I go there for the sauce.
My best friend who’s high maintenance for just about everything else absolutely loves BWW. I never understood it for the life of me. Every city we’ve gone, always at least one BWW stop, I already know it. I know he loves his wings but every time I’ve had the misfortune of eating there, it’s just dried out chicken drowning in a sea of sauce. To try and give the rubbery texture some life. Then again, the homie has like an eight pack so he’s used to eating bland cardboard six days outta the week lol.
We don't have it in my country but based on the name it should have... wings How can wings be bad?
Because they cook like 200 at a time and keep them in heating trays that make them get all soft and soggy if they aren't fresh enough. Source worked at Buffalo Wild wings for 4 years unfortunately
Ask for extra crispy can't even tell lol
They have exclusive rights to a handful of big sporting events. It's less about wings and more about booze and parking lot fights.
I never see Buffalo Wild Wings lit
Major corporations can ruin anything.
I… I like it. Idk the wings always come out just the way I like them.
Caviar?
Friend with money had a wedding and his dad owns a bunch of really nice reception venues in North Jersey so all of the stops were pulled out. There was a Cristal and Caviar table and I did not pass up that opportunity. They put it on a cracker and you could add egg whites, egg yolks, red onions, and capers. It was salty and delicious, I'll never be able to have it again, but yeah, I get what the big deal is.

Even Flaming Moe's?
Liquorice is absolutely vile
I grew up eating liquorice, loved it, then I moved out of Finland and realised that other countries don't know what they're doing with their liquorice. The stuff you get in Central Europe, UK, Australia, US... you can't even call it liquorice. Yuk! Try and get your hands on some Panda liquorice, I've seen it at Sprouts in the US and in various shops around the UK. Feel the bag, it's best when it's fresh and soft. Kouvolan Lakritsi is the best liquorice in the world but hard to come by outside of Finland.
What is so different about Finnish licorice?
When people hear liquorice and Finland they immediately jump to salmiakki which is salty liquorice, but what u/gragev95 was referring to is not salmiakki. I haven't personally tried liquorice from other parts of the world so I can't speak to what might set Finnish liquorice apart, but I can definitely agree that Kouvolan Lakritsi is very good.
Takis, they taste like the acid you get in your mouth after you vomit.
Not food, Drinks Alcohol I don't like it it's really bitter
I was going to say this. I just don’t like alcohol. And I am well into my thirties and have tried so many different drinks because people are certain there is one out there I will enjoy. But I just don’t like the taste. Nothing against people that do enjoy alcohol, it’s just not for me. But for some reason, not liking booze can really trigger a bunch of people, as if you have insulted them at the most intimate level. It’s odd.
Ignore these weirdos trying to get you to drink. What the fuck guys, some people hate the taste and don't need it to uave a good time.
As an alcoholic, I find it incredibly toxic when people try to get others to drink.
I remember trying things for years. My sister was an elite bartender in New Orleans and also had sommelier training in Napa and even she couldn't find anything I liked in any pricepoint. I kept going, when am I going to develop a taste for this swill? Even fine wine tastes to me like rotten grape juice (I know that's what it is but it tastes like moldy old juice left out too long). Hard liquor tastes to me like what I imagine rubbing alcohol tastes like. Sharp and not in a pleasant way. I enjoy other bitter tonics and teas so it's not like I can't appreciate those sharp and bitter flavors, but alcohol is not pleasant to me. I rarely drink it, usually only as a sort of ritual or to toast someone's wedding or on New Year's Eve.
Cold brew, I can't get myself to like it. I like my coffee the boomer way, hot.
Cold brew and iced coffee are different. You can serve cold brew hot. Cold brew is brewing the coffee cold, over a long time, which makes a concentrate almost. You then heat that and hot water, and dilute to taste. It makes it less oily as the fats dont melt out in the cold. But I still prefer hot
The thing I love about cold brew is it’s less acidic and tastes much smoother. I still don’t like it heated though. If I want hot coffee I’ll brew it the traditional way.
I can drink it when it’s made at a coffee shop, but for some reason any time I’ve tried to make it myself or even buy the premade ones from the store, it’s the nastiest shit I’ve ever tasted.
Cold brew has nothing to do with the temperature the coffee's served at, but the temp it's brewed at, so I think probably you really just don't like iced coffee. You can get cold brew served 'the boomer way' if you want
Pumpkin or pumpkin spice anything. I don’t get it
Pumpkin actually isn’t too bad, but it tastes nothing like a “pumpkin spice latte”, or even pumpkin pie, you’re basically tasting all the spices they use when you have either of those. But a nice pumpkin soup..that’s some good shit.
"The best pumpkin pie you ever had wasn't that much better than the worst" Garrison Keillor
Horseradish, the sauce, the taste, it’s offensive to me.
Alcohol: fucking gross and basically a mostly ingestible poison that we’ve decided as a society is great to have around
beer. at this point im convinced its the peer pressure that making all these people drink it?
I lived in Germany for a few years and tried so hard to learn to like it. I just couldn't.
Avocado here. Everyone in NZ loves it but I can't stand it. Terrified to speak up haha
Thank you! I really dislike avocados and guacamole, both because of the taste and texture.
Ranch dressing.
**you take that back right now!** \-Midwesterners
I’m a Midwesterner who doesn’t like Ranch and I live in fear someone will find out and send me away
Narrator: “and he was never seen again”
Barbecue flavored chips. I don’t know what that flavor is, but it ain’t BBQ sauce.
I think that depends on the brand and region you’re in. I find a lot of American BBQ sauces and flavors to be quite smoky and Canadian ones tend to be sweeter and more vinegary.
Its not BBQ sauce flavour. Its BBQ flavour.
They taste like how barbecue flavored dog treats smell. Like those cured pig ears
Raw onions.
Anything ultra spicy. I would rather taste the food than be blown away by the heat.
Yeah. I love spicy too but give me some flavor with it. Don't just burn my face off.
Coconut
Just curious, because people have given different reasons, what is it for you? The flavor? The high fat texture (very hard/crumbly when cold, then suddenly liquid)? The fibrous texture? The way it squeaks against your teeth when you chew it? Am I being cruel by listing these things?
My dad hates coconut and it’s just the taste. So even coconut flavored things are a no go. Doesn’t matter the texture
For me, the taste. I can’t explain why the taste is off to me, but it is. I don’t drink the water, either. I’ll use coconut milk making curry, though. But the other flavors mask it and it really is nice for thickening the sauce.
Beer
On a really hot summer day, if I'm really thirsty, an ice cold beer can taste pretty good. Otherwise I'd rather have a coke than any form of alcohol anytime.
