Grits do not belong in fusion foods.
I will not eat chitterlings, maws, pig feet, pizelles, or chicken feet. I don't care what a local delicacy they are, no.
Poached or runny eggs are food poisoning in waiting to me. So is *gasp* rare steak.
Kale is delicious, except for kale chips. Those are just dead leaves.
My coworker the other day took American Cheese & put peanut butter on it. I was a bit horrified & intrigued

Cheese and peanut butter? That's just weird. Plus a major choking hazard. Hope other coworkers know the Heimlich maneuver.1 -

I do that too. Rice cake, spread a little bit of PB, and add a slice of Swiss cheese. Delicioso!1 -

Wait, what's a pizzelle to you? To an Italian like me, it's this:
<snip image of yummy pizzelle>
I'm thinking maybe pizzle, in context of the sentence. Yes, humans sometimes eat those, apparently.
Vegetarianism saves me from trying many scary things.
Yes you're right. Beef pizzle.
Dang autocorrect.
Do I even want to know what a beef pizzle is? From what it sounds like, I think I don't.3 -

My cousin used to do that. And then she'd add pickles.1 -

They protect you from bad luck; if you eat a couple of raw eggs first thing in the morning, nothing worse will happen to you all day long. :laugh:
I have been known to order them "runny side up" and mix them into grits. I haven't done that in a while; where I did that was Waffle House and the grits are full of butter and eggs are cooked in a buttery oil lining the pan thick enough that here is some in/on the eggs. That might qualify as an unusual food I like, though I haven't had it in some time.4 -

I have had uncooked (really just not rewarmed; all their canned stuff is cooked) Chef Boyardee many times as an easy to carry small filling waterproof lunch on paddle trips. Cheese ravioli is usually what I get for that; it's extra filling and spill proof (you can turn the can upside down and usually nothing will fall out or drip). This is not one of my favorite foods, but it doesn't disappoint me.3 -
I love mixing a sunnyside-up egg into oats, I'll add some cooked veg and feta too, but the yoke mixing in is key to the dish.2

aspartame is not the devil and coke zero rocks my world
Pepsi tastes like regret
Cheese and ice cream are a little overrated (not Brie tho)
nuts as a snack option are seriously overrated and a bad idea (for me at least lol)

Nuts are a bad idea because I can overeat them easily. But they are incredibly delicious. (I kind of overdid it with some pistachios last night.)
Salt and fat are way more cravable for me than sweet stuff -- and that includes nuts (especially salted), popcorn (which is just a salt delivery vehicle) and most of all, cheese.8 -

Speaking of nostalgia, I have another item for the thread - shrimp boiling. When I was young, we would visit some of my favorite older relatives in the FL panhandle and whenever there was a big family gathering (and it was whenever we were there) they would do a shrimp boil. Boiling shrimp makes some people want to retch; some people will tolerate it at best because they enjoy boiled shrimp. Very few people enjoy the odor of a shrimp boil. It stirs up a lot of emotions for me and makes me smile. Shrimp boiled with Old Bay is one of my absolute favorite foods.
I didn't try grits until I was in my thirties and I do like them! So you never know.
I absolutely LOVE a good shrimp boil, though. Gotta have potatoes, corn, etc, in there too...and whole cloves of garlic to smash onto French bread. Yum. My ex husband worked with a bunch of older ladies who lived communally in a big farmhouse they built themselves, and we would be invited to their shrimp boil twice a year. I miss that way more than my ex!5 -

I'm right there with you on the Pepsi Max. No other diet pop even comes close (although I do like Diet Dr. Pepper). Here's mine. Pumpkin anything tastes like *kitten*, coffee, wine & beer are disgusting. I love Fireball.
For those of you who don't like kit-kats or reeses cups, have you tried the dark chocolate versions? That's the best versions of those candies.
I definitely prefer Pepsi Max over Diet Pepsi.
Diet Mountain Dew I find sweeter than regular Mountain Dew.
Dark Kit Kats are 100% the best to me, too...and I've had all of the crazy flavored Japanese Kit Kats (beni imo, taro, strawberry, matcha) as well as some of the UK ones from the past (mint, orange). I liked every single type better than regular standard milk chocolate Kit Kats...but dark is the best, period!
I am going to try Pepsi Max ASAP. Until this thread, I never knew it was a "diet" drink, oddly enough, and I love Diet Pepsi...so I must try this magic.2 -
I don't like any soft drinks at all.0

Those are "fight-in werdz" down South...esp. ATL, where there is no such thing as Pepsi...all soda/pop/soft drink is simply referred to as "Coke" regardless of whether said soda/pop/soft drink is cola-based or not (orange pop/fanta/etc. = orange coke...in Atlanta at least)3 -

I'm a skim latte lover. Typical me/barista conversation:
"I'd like a large skim latte, please."
"What flavor?"
"Coffee. And skim milk."
Some places (automated machines) don't even make them that way. WTFlip?workinonit1956 wrote: »I get my lattes with nonfat milk, I can’t tell the difference once the milk is steamed and frothed.
Love my grande nonfat blonde latte
FireOpalCO wrote: »I don't care for mega-sweetened hot coffee drinks. It's like a hot milkshake: Why?
Because milkshakes are awesome!
Most of the time I want a standard hot non-fat latte or cappuccino. But every once in a while having a mocha is delicious decadence. Especially around Christmas when I can get a salted caramel mocha or peppermint mocha. It's hot chocolate with a hit of espresso.
I don't even like coffee. No amount of milk, cream, or fancy sugar syrups will change that
Every now & then I'll drink a fancy iced coffee drink since it's more like a dessert, but the one time I got a PSL I felt like a cat lapping at milk. It was disgusting! Hot coffee is not for me. I'd rather drink diet soda for my caffeine.
Coffee in ice cream is awesome.
Seriously? This time of year and you don't know what a PSL is?
I don’t know either...
Edit: read on and found out what it stands for. But still don’t know what it is!1 -
Go to a Starbucks, or many other coffee chains -- it's a seasonal thing.
