Ketchup on eggs is great. But gotta love ketchup on mac and cheese.
I prefer salsa on eggs0 -
I once ate at a trendy restaurant where Green Eggs and Ham was on the menu. The last item in the brunch section. Eggs and jambon de Paris smothered in salsa verde. The concept was better than the eating.

I sometimes see that dish name at local (Chicago) brunch places. I've never tried one.
At a place I've gone to (not especially trendy, just a local place near where a friend lives), this is the description:
"Green Eggs n' Ham -- egg whites, basil pesto, smoked ham, scallions, spinach, pea sprouts; rosemary hash browns"3 -
I'm curious to see if you know what this is, IME people either really love it or really hate it:
Aspic (kholodets, zalivnoe. etc.)?
ETA: If that's what it is, a hard "no" from me. (I have no idea whether I like it or not, but I've been vegetarian for 45+ years now.)1 -
I'd probably like the aspic.0

Mortadella is the respectable variant of Bologna which is properly Italian. And if you google fried mortadella, it is a thing for sandwiches.2

These cookies look like they were made by angels.1

As a non-American I don't even know what this is. Candy corn? Is it corn covered with candy like a toffee apple?
Consider yourself lucky to never had this 'candy'...it's just terrible..sugar, corn syrup, confectioner's glaze, salt, dextrose, gelatin, sesame oil, artificial flavor, honey, yellow 6, yellow 5, and red 3. It also contains gelatin and the coating on top is made from lac-resin, an insect secretion from lac bugs found in Asia...yummy3 -

Bologna, there's a food for ya. Fried, it's good.
I love fried bologna, have it every 2 or 3 years. I bought a can of chicken bologna out of curiosity. Haven’t opened it yet.1 -

And it's part of a larger class of candy called "Mellocremes" (sometimes "Mellowcremes") that include equally unlikeable tiny flat-bottomed/big-stemmed pumpkins, bicolor Christmas bells, and much much more.
One of my former rowing coaches loved these so much we called her "Coach Mellocreme".
She can have 'em.
And yes, they're not vegetarian. And you forgot to metion the carnauba wax that's in some of them.2 -

My wife and daughter buy these nasty things every year around Halloween... not sure if they really like them or if they are doing it to hassle me (since they know I can't stand them)...0 -
I haven't had them as an adult but I always liked candy corn as a kid.
Not the pumpkins etc though.0 -

yes...a kid thing I think. I use to love these, and then had one a few years ago. One was enough that is for sure...2 -

I actually prefer canned cranberry sauce haha
so does many members in my family...hence it always makes it's appearance on the table every holiday season...along with some homemade stuff too...1 -
Candy corn and circus peanuts are disgusting to me.
On the other hand, I don't mind the canned cranberry sauce, but when I finally discovered not just how delicious but also how easy to make fresh cranberry sauce is, I never looked back.2 -

^^ Jellybeans.
Are they polarising?
I wouldn't eat them all day long but I don't mind some now and then.
I never thought of them as a love or hate them thing.2 -

When it comes to jelly beans, it's these vs. Jelly Belly. So yes, I'd say they are polarizing2 -

I HATE jelly beans, yuck! Always have. I just don't understand the appeal at all.

I've always seen these and wondered what they taste like. Are they peanut buttery?0 -

I agree...these jelly beans taste like granulated sugar bombs...Jelly Belly is a different story though - I like them!2
