Raisin bread grilled cheese sandwiches are bomb. Especially with a side of sausage and scrambled eggs 😋9

I can't drink coffee. I even hate the smell of it more than the taste. The whole thing is gross for some reason.
I go through phases where I adore coffee and then poof! I just hate it. Right now I'm in a hating phase. I'm sure some day I will once again smell it, want it, and love it again. It's happened quite a few times in my life. It's really odd.
And no, It's had nothing to do with pregnancy or anything like that.3 -
Ranch dressing is vile7
-
Mushrooms - the look, texture, smell *shudders*. Its a fungus people! Adding to the list, most seafoods, blue or any other smelly cheese, game meats, olives. I know I have lots more lol - I can be SUPER fussy..7

Fruit has no place in salads.17

This is the stupidest thing. I can understand taking the hit for like, fried chicken (I can hardly ever find GF fried chicken anywhere and it kills me) or like fancy patisserie but bread?
Black breakfast tea is gross murky leaf-water and I don't understand how anyone enjoys it. Green tea is no better, its just less-burnt leaf water you can't even add milk and sugar to to make it taste less like tea. God help me I have tried but life is too short.
-Parsnips taste like dirt. They're carrots with no soul left. Carrot-ghouls that hide in soup pretending to be potato.
-If red meat isn't still bleeding it's ruined.
-Chicken breast is a terrible cut of meat usually cooked to death, thighs being cheaper makes no sense when they're twice as delicious (not complaining tho).
-Salmon should never ever be cooked, only smoked. Dried out salmon fillets covered in white goop are a crime.
-Sweet chilli sauce is disgusting.
-Sandwiches are a terrible lunch option, just find a fork and eat the fillings, that's the good part. The bread is a waste of calories.
I'm thankful to find so many people who agree with me on starbucks tho. HOW is it so popular when its so bad?12 -

When I'm pregnant even the smell of coffee would make me vomit. Otherwise I love coffee.1 -

What's wrong with questbars? They're actually pretty good!
I have had a couple of flavors that were almost indistinguishable from each other and both had the texture of a tootsie roll. My favorite protein bar is Pure Protein Salted Caramel flavor which sets the bar too high for any Quest bar I have tried. Like everything on this thread, it's a personal preference.2 -
- Avocados are only okay
- Smoothies are overated
- Salted caramel things never have enough salt in them (ditto salted chocolate)
- green apples > red apples3 -
Flavored coffee of almost any type tastes bad to me.
I like almost all vegetables, but turnips are a little hard to take, especially since potatoes would work in their place.
The deep fried fair food - candy bars and various desserts - are generally not good. It isn't just the insane calories that turn me off; it just isn't a combination I like.
I like onions, but my preference for a sweet Vidalia is strong enough that just about any other is meh at best.
I eat zuchini, but I think it is usually added almost more for color and contrast with the better tasting yellow summer squash.0 -

I also like thigh meat more, but I still do eat a lot of chicken breast. It's very easy to overcook and then it is pretty bad.3 -
I still eat it since I buy whole chickens but I would never in a million years buy fresh skinless chicken breasts. Eating the breast meat is a price I pay to get a whole carcass for stock and the tasty underneathy-bits.CarvedTones wrote: »I also like thigh meat more, but I still do eat a lot of chicken breast.

Reminded me of another one- green apples > red apples
Pink lady apples are garbage and taste like washing up liquid

I bought 6 of them (each a different flavor) when they were on sale at the grocery store. For every single one I tried I took one bite, encountered a horrible fake chemical taste and even worse after taste. Immediately threw it in the trash and went to rinse out my mouth. I tried 4 of them over several weeks to give it fair shot and make sure it just wasn't a flavor I didn't like. Nope, they were all trash and the last two went into the "free" pile in the break room.8 -

Every few years since forever, someone will try to introduce me to "the BEST bagels", whether that's a chain like Panera or Einstein Bros. or authentic NYC freshly made bagels. I'm always just like mm, not terrible? They aren't for me. Yes those are better than Lender's in the freezer case but not by that much. Just kinda tough and chewy bread? I'll take a slice of toast, thanks.
I have very similar feelings about croissants.
My description of a perfect bagel is a donut shaped bread-thing that has a crisp/chewy crust with a soft/chewy interior, and, that was boiled and then baked somewhere that uses water from the NYC region.
If there isn't a distinct difference between the crust and the inside, it's a bagel-wanna-be. (Lenders, Dunkin, Wawa - give it up, or rename that thing you currently call a bagel. IT's just a very dense donut shaped piece of bread)
btw - I was once informed that water is the regional taste-enhancer that makes breads vary so much from one place to another. Based on my own travels, I'm inclined to agree with this.

Caffeine is more important than water. Without it, I end up buying crunchy PB for my power pancakes...
