    I love cherries soaked in whiskey and covered in chocolate...though, homemade liquor treats are way better than store bought, some of the store ones aren't half bad.

    I'm more baffled by chicken feet and pigs feet...why would anyone want to eat feet, and what the heck is there even to eat on a chickens foot???

    Have had both those feet and they're not bad. But there's definitely better parts of the animal to war instead.

    Why is carrot cake a thing? Why in the world did someone look at cake and say to themselves, "This needs a vegetable"?

    Lol, that is my favorite kind of cake, especially with lots of cream cheese frosting!

    Candy corn. Wtf.

    Exactly how can they even call it corn. Why does the corn industry not sue for defamation of character.

    Do you realize that candy corn is one of a whole class of candy called "mellocreme"? It also includes the peculiar squatty-shaped orange pumpkins with fat green stems, Valentine hearts, and some odd Christmas shapes. I think they contain carnauba wax (seriously).

    I only know this because one of my rowing coaches was obsessed with mellocreme candy, malted milk balls, and slightly stale marshmallow Peeps.

    Canned meat
    Licorice (including Twizzlers and red vine)
    Original tootsie rolls (the flavored are yum!)
    Banana FLAVORED anything. It TASTES grainy.
    Cherry flavored things. Taste like cough syrup.
    Canned cheese.

    Love carrot cake, hate spam, always had pan fried bologna with ramen noodles when I was a kid.

    turducken
    ham spread
    bologna
    rocky mountain oysters (google it if you must)

    What's wrong with turducken? Slight poultry overload perhaps...

    If it hasn't been said already. Peeps, there are so many varieties? I find it so confounding that these little bits of Styrofoam are so popular.

    One of those things your rowing coach was obsessed with is not like the others.

    In that it is a perfectly palatable candy (which I can no longer eat). The other two? Blech.

    And up here we call them prairie oysters. A by-product of the steering process. Nope. Not gonna try them.

    They would take away from my wine calories is all.

    Wine > candy corn

    Fair point well made.

    Fruitcake? Well, if you are what you eat....

    Salted licorice? Never heard of that. You take a nice cherry Red Vine, and somebody went "This needs sodium" WTF is that?

    Like all things, Spam (in moderation) is okay. Cubed and mixed with scrambled eggs is better than ham, IMHO.

    3 Musketeers? Only candy that gives me instant diarrhea.........just horrible

    Salted licorice is licorice flavoured, not red vine flavoured (calling that stuff licorice is wrong imo)...
