Not quite sure how to do quotes..,
I cannot wrap my head around your thoughts on bacon, even though I only infrequently have it. Just finished our homemade shrimp and grits (with bacon) for our Super Bowl meal. Super Yum!
Nah that DOES sound good to me! But I find so many times every burger, sandwich, and even some pastry/baked goods (!) have bacon and people say "bacon makes everything better". While shrimp & grits with bacon sounds super delicious, I don't want it on everything.1 -

exactly why Dino nuggets are the superior chicken app
EXACTLY! 😅
I saw the butterscotch opinion and gasped LOL. Sorry my friend I also had to dislike your butterscotch opinion. I feel too strongly about butterscotch not too!
Butterscotch and salmon both got gasps out of me! I choose butterscotch over caramel and I love caramel!2 -

I'm agreeing with you again but taking it a step further! First there's the gross skin which has all the tasty BBQ sauce, then you have to wade through the fat and bone for meat, and there's two little pieces of you're lucky. My brother is amazing at smoking and BBQing so it's more the meat that bugs me than the cooking. Ribs are another one, fatty with a big old bone. Yes, I cut every piece of fat off even chicken breasts before cooking, not a popular technique!1 -
I had some pizza with pineapple (and some without) at our SuperBowl party. Just have to go back to the age-old argument and say that pineapple is a valid and tasty pizza topping.8

No filling in doughnuts, IDC which filling! Blech!1 -
Scones are too dense.
Biscotti (at least purchased biscotti) is annoying. It is either too hard or already crumbling in your coffee.
The only packaged doughnut-like product worth buying is a little debbie doughnut stick.
Powdered doughnuts should all be banned.
Once a chocolate covered doughnut has cooled enough for the chocolate to harden they are trash fodder.
Fruit (not jelly) filled doughnuts are okay.
Creme doughnuts are horrid. Custard doughnuts are okay.
Cupcakes are somehow worse than cake which is already pretty meh.

Exactly correct, with the narrow exception of paczkis on the day before Ash Wednesday, which are tasty and which I will have if offered.0 -

Food that doesn't smell good; onion; garlic; most of the middle aisles.
I have a picky 2-year old and am very very open to suggestions! What do you think is better/more appealing?
What foods does he/she like??
He loves bread, cheese, and crackers. He generally loves fruit - raspberries, strawberries, mandarins, bananas, apples, grapes, and avocado - but seems to be getting tired of most of them. He will eat just about anything in a pouch, but that's probably because those are primarily applesauce with hints of other foods. He used to eat blueberries in lots of baked goods, but now picks them out. He will eat muffins, pancakes, etc with shredded zucchini in it. He used to love corn, but one bad experience now makes it food non grata. Won't touch eggplant anymore, even in pesto pasta. Used to eat quesadillas with monterey jack, goat cheese, corn, black beans, and bell pepper. Now picks everything out so it's just cheese and tortilla. Still eats red pepper hummus but is getting tired of it.
He generally does not like meat or vegetables. Used to eat pig products like pork tenderloin and deli ham, but not anymore.
ETA: He loves cinnamon pear balsamic vinegar.1 -
Mushrooms are gross and ruin every dish they are in!5

I eat over a pound of mushrooms a week.7

Pizza is over-rated, fizzy drinks (coke etc) are blinking revolting as are most fast food options (McDonalds, KFC etc). Any shop bought pre packaged cakes (Mr Kipling etc). All vile. Generally sweets are pretty grim as well - in fact, most things with a lot of additives/preservatives are horrid.1

I would like them more if it was like, thin slice of jelly and not rim of doughnut with mostly jelly.0 -

More doughnut, less jelly. Kind of like if they glazed a doughnut with jelly, but it was in the middle. They might be out there, but the ones I've eaten always have too much jelly.0 -
I really dislike crab and do not understand the hype around it.0

Agreed!! When I get creme filled, the person in front of me is almost always getting custard filled. No!
See, this is a thing I just don't understand: If the person in front of me orders something I think is yucky, I just feel happy that they left the things I do like for me, instead of gobbling them before I get to the front of the line.
Back on topic: I think modern fancy cupcakes, the ones with inches of frosting on top, are revolting. Most of the time, it's not even good frosting, i.e., tastes more like shortening than butter. (I will leave these beautiful but - to me - unpleasant things right there in the display case, where one of y'all frosting lovers can enjoy buying/eating them.)

I like frosting so much that I will sometimes peel the cupcake off and just eat the tower of frosting.2 -
Zebra Cakes taste of nothing and disappointment. Eating the coating is like eating plastic.
The same can be said of most snack cakes.
Cupcakes are only good if the frosting is buttercream and the cupcake is filled with something delicious. Example: I make a mean Irish Car Bomb cupcake with guinness batter, whiskey chocolate ganache center, and irish cream buttercream. Heaven. I'm a bit of a cupcake snob, so most cupcakes are disappointments. But the ones that aren't, tho...4 -

Ah yeah, I can see that.. but with a cream filling, the more the better!1 -
"Healthified" dessert recipes where dates are the primary sweetener are highly inconvenient and annoying. Also vegan "cheese" recipes where you need to soak cashews, etc... just too time consuming and not worth it5

like how could you turn this down?5 -
This is going to be unpopular and I’m embarrassed to admit that I like these Entenmann’s donuts. When I was a kid we called them “chocolate wax donuts” because the outside is so waxy. But I grew up right near the factory so we’d get them fresh right from the factory store. Haven’t had them in a while, but I wouldn’t turn one down.

I wouldn't say they taste great, but I also like them because they taste like nostalgia. Same with Entenmann's coffee cake.0 -

Agreed! These are my childhood. Grew up dunking them in milk, letting them get really soggy. love!0
