    Processed cheese food and mass produced smoked meats in holiday gift packs. I used to get excited whenever someone would give us a gift box with all those processed meats and cheeses because they were packaged so pretty. But then the reality of eating them was always a disappointment. They now call the processed cheese a "cheese blend". Just give me REAL cheese!

    Store bought fruit cake. Blech! Now my mother used to make her own and it was pretty dang delicious.

    Liverwurst. Just no.

    I agree with bacon in sweet things like topping a maple bar. Just not my thing.

    Awwww - this Little Debbie reference actually DID make me a little sad. :'(

    Anything made by Little Debbie. With so much amazing pastry in the world, how does this crap even stay on the market?

    I buy these once a year, thinking it will taste like childhood and instead it tastes like sadness.

    Salty licorice was pretty bad. Plain licorice is bad enough to me.
    Musk sticks are strange. It is hard to imagine someone enjoying eating something that seems like an air freshener or old lady perfume.
    Kool aid pickles seem so very wrong.
    I'm not sure why people want to stick bacon into desserts now. Not appealing to me.

    Bacon coffee anyone?

    The holidays are here and I'm getting my fair share of impersonal corporate gifts. I can't tell you how many liquor filled chocolates I've received. I can't imagine who actually likes these things and for the life of me have no idea how they've become such a standard holiday item.

    I know we all have foods that we just don't like, but at least in most of those cases it's not too much of a stretch to see how/why others could like them.

    That said, some foods are so bad that it's impossible to think of anything appealing about them. What are they for you? What food items baffle you by their mere existence?

    Liquor filled chocolates and Danish salty licorice are mine...I can't figure out why anybody finds them appealing!

    wanna share those filled chocolates?

    Ambrosia salad.
    What kind of drugs were the people on who invented that?

    Had no idea what this was til I just googled it, literally looking at the recipe is making me nauseated.

    Fruit cake. I doesn't make sense... fruit? Good. Cake? Great. Fruit cake? Nasty crap.

    You're only saying that because you never tasted my mother's Christmas cake! :smile:

    OP Danish salty licorice & Dutch double salt licorice are acquired tastes!

    I could never figure out lutefisk.

    I LOVE fruitcake! Especially the cheaper, extra chewy, no actual alcholol kind. The texture, the spices even the chewy weird almost fruit stuff is awesome!

    Entenmanns fruitcake is life.
