    Both mozzerella sticks and chocolate-covered strawberries are a complete disappointment.

    I agree

    I hate pork. All forms of pork. It tastes like sweaty burps.

    I agree

    Mozzarella sticks, yes. But I have an enormous weakness for chocolate plus nuts or chocolate plus berries (well, red berries or cherries). Not those chocolate fountain ones, though, as that chocolate is ick.

    I love pork. I especially love Berkshire pork from a local farm, way better than super lean supermarket chops or loin IMO. I have purchased half pigs from local farms, and that was great, and filled up my freezer for ages.

    Granted, my great uncle raised hogs (for food), so maybe it's a family thing!

    I still think bacon is overrated. It's fine, but the excitement it inspires is odd; I'd rather have a good chop.

    I'm the opposite lol. I love mozzarella sticks, but couldn't care less about chocolate-covered strawberries. I would take one or the other alone though.

    If you've not been to the Southeast, do specify, if you order iced tea, whether you want sweet or unsweet . . . or you will get sweet, unless they're insightful enough to ask. True many places, not just talking about McD. [/quote]


    Agree. Unsweetened tea or lemonade, often sweetened with simple syrup, is the default in the Southeast. There's even enough sugar added to Kool Aid to choke an elephant.

    Maybe I’m biased because I’m Canadian, but dunkin donuts is gross. I’ve tried it twice while in the states and it’s been a no from me both times. Tim Horton’s is 10x better IMO.

    Also, chocolate chip cookies are overrated and would much rather have a white macadamia nut, ginger, or oatmeal cookie any day over a chocolate chip.

    Oatmeal chocolate chip cookies are good. With high quality chocolate discs or chunks, not Toll House morsels with the weird waxy coating.

    Raisins, however, do not belong in cookies. Or carrot cake or cinnamon rolls or bread pudding. Just NO!

    I always hated eating an oatmeal cookie when I was younger & realizing raisins were in it.

    Yes! Raisins are gross and I don’t understand why people enjoy putting them in perfectly good desserts 😂

    I was so pissed one time I thought I was buying chocolate covered almond and it was raisins -_-
    I threw the whole thing out lmao

    Also, I don’t buy Tim Horton’s coffee - I was talking about food/donut wise. I need to try McDonald’s coffee though. A lot of people seem to like it.

    In the "classic" southern sweet tea I grew up with, it is sweetened with cane sugar that is added while the water is boiling and has an almost caramelized taste to it.

    When I could still have gluten? Jalapeno poppers > mozzarella sticks.

    I can have gluten and I agree with this.

    I'm expressing this clearly unpopular opinion in response to page 2.

    Through a straw, I'm sucking a delicious smoothie consisting of ice, banana, blackberries, kale, peanut powder, kefir, hemp seeds, powdered vegetables and creatine.

    What's not to love about that? Protein, fiber, fat, probiotics, micronutrients, and vitamins.

    Only thing I see on page 2 that would relate to that smoothie is kale hate. Several of us have already said we like kale, however.

    I really dislike eggnog unless there is dark rum in it.

    I just dislike eggnog. It's cloying and the texture is gross. Plus I cannot convince myself to use that many calories on a drink, no matter how 'festive' it may be.

    Ahhh, something I can disagree with! LOL Raisins are awesome. Oatmeal raisin cookies are superior to chocolate chip. Fight me.

    Also, raisins are always included in my stuffing and chicken salad recipes.

    I won't fight you over them - you can just have my share and leave more chocolate for me! :smiley:

    I drink one a year because it is a family tradition. By itself eggnog is too thick and sweet. I think mine ends up being mostly dark rum with a splash of eggnog for appearance sake.

    I like egg nog. After I've cut it in half with milk. Bonus points if I added rum and nutmeg. But by itself it is very gloppy feeling.

    I agree. I rarely eat sweets but I do enjoy a good oatmeal raisin cookie.

    As much as I love raisins I've found that dried cranberries are better in stuffing and chicken salad.

    Coffee, even sweetened, is bitter and unappetizing to me. I've had coffee drinks in the past that were mostly sugar and ice cream, and I'd still rather just not have any coffee flavor.

    Beer is also not that tasty to me. I like cider well enough, but my town is big into the whole craft beer thing and it drives me up the wall when I go out with people because they'll want to go places where the only alcoholic drink is $8 for a glass of fancy-beer.

    Which reminds me that I loved that supermarket carton eggnog as a kid, it was a fun thing to look forward to at Christmas. It's sad to me that I now find it disgusting.
