Ice cream cake is not good. Only thing enjoyable about it is the fudge filling and the gel icing.2

If the biscuits you've been given were dry and crumbly, then you have been given some bad version of biscuit and I'm sorry to hear that! A good southern biscuit, while it will crumb a bit, should not be dry.
This. The problem with a lot of biscuits is that they are not made correctly. Some won't bother with cutting in cold lard or butter at all. Others overwork it. Even many southern restaurants do not take the time to really get it right.

Those were a huge disappointment to me. I like Impossible crumble, just not theirs.
Maybe I will have to consider giving some others a try. Right away when I got in the car, I noticed a scent from the crumbles that was offputting. I normally love Qdoba, but that whole experience was disappointing. I think I will just go back to getting both kinds of beans instead.0 -
This talk of Impossible crumbles makes me crave Morningstar Farms veggie chorizo crumbles...omg, seriously a favorite food for me. Anyone else like those?

The cake is usually lousy but ice cream and frosting is worth salvaging!0 -

Solid butter is gross.
I love it melted into things, but I'm not going to bite into something that has a big hunk of un-melted butter on top....i.e. muffin, bread roll, biscuit, toast. Which is why none of those things should ever be served cold. Must be warm so that the butter melts.1 -

Believe me, I've tried so many different biscuits. From all over the country. Flaky buttery ones and Southern ones alike. My friends love them. They'll go on and on about how I'll definitely like this one.
Nope. They all literally taste like chalk to me. I don't know what they put in them that I don't like, but biscuits don't do it for me. I'd rather go an entire day without eating than have to eat a biscuit.
Scones are the same. They're just sweet biscuits to me, with the same nasty chalk taste.

See, I am the opposite. I prefer cold butter over melted!1 -

As a tiny child, I loved it . . . until an indulgent farmer-aunt let me eat fresh home-made butter with a teaspoon, as much of it as I wanted. I don't remember this specifically, but my mother said I was shuddering as I fed myself the last spoonsful.
After that, I couldn't eat butter on things for decades, cold or melted (inside baked goods was OK). Eventually, I started liking melted butter, but I still can't enjoy the cold chunky stuff.

I love cold whipped butter... salted. sweet cream. YUM1 -
This makes me think of the trip to New Orleans my mother, sister and I took many years ago - for Mardi Gras. My sister and I wanted to try alligator, but they came deep-fried, and all we tasted was the batter. I don't remember the texture, so I guess it didn't bother me.
I don't like most things that come in shells; not sure why, but that's the way it is. Includes shrimp and lobster, which my brother finds appalling.
Yes, I'm from New England, have lobster fishermen in my family, and am the only one I know of who doesn't like anything that comes in shells.0 -

Is this syrup that comes from a tree in Vermont or a cornfield? BIG difference.3 -

Yes, Pillsbury calls them biscuits which gets confusing. In my head I differentiate "flaky biscuits" and "Southern biscuits". Both when done right are yumtastic, but easy to screw up
Pillsbury uses an ingredient in this and other ready-to-bake products that tastes weird to me.
Annie's and Immaculate biscuits taste like my Joy of Cooking recipes.0 -

My dad actually taps his own syrup, so the real stuff is what I know. Still not worth it!0 -

I know what flavor you mean! It's like... tangy... but not in a buttermilk way... more like a metallic tang?0 -

I prefer cornfield syrup. I think tree syrup is too thin.3 -

Me, too.
And I like sugar-free syrup. I'm a total heathen.1 -

I like sugar-free syrup too. Cary's, Best Choice, a few others...not so much Smuckers but it'll do in a dive restaurant. Walden Farms no thanks.2 -
Coconut water tastes like water that's already been in someone's mouth and the only way to eat sushi is to throw it in the trash.
And olives come straight from the pit of hell.3 -
Jalapeno poppers should only be filled with cheddar cheese. Cream cheese filled ones are like biting into a huge zit.
Edit - the cream filling of Oreos is disgusting. Tastes like sweet lard. I'd definitely buy a "biscuit only" version of them.2 -
Chips are overrated. Lays are gross and leave me with a greasy taste and feeling.
I've never got the appeal of chips with my sandwich.
I only like salt n vinegar kettle chips and even those only sound good a few times a year when I have a craving.0 -
Mushrooms are poison
Salt is blech and adds nothing to a dish. I consume it only because I don't like the consequences of iodine deficiency.

A favorite story in our family:

Mark Kurlansky also has a wonderful collection of food/ingredients and their effect on history. One of the books is about salt, and is a great read.2

I have that Kurlansky book but haven't read it yet.
Here's one of many articles about the uses of salt, especially for cooking and preserving: https://www.finecooking.com/article/the-science-of-salt
I find even just a little salt, along with other seasonings, makes a difference in cooking, and would be sad if I ever had to give it up. I typically don't salt already cooked food, but that is not an anti salt position.0 -
All mushrooms are poison in my world XD. The smell of them cooking is nauseating. I'm from a family of mushroom lovers. Sorry Mom.just_Tomek wrote: »

Salt is one of those things I do not like the taste of, at all. Since I'm prone to getting iodine deficient, mixed with chronically low blood pressure I have to make the conscious choice to eat more of it in summer months. I guess the positive is I don't get tempted to gorge on chips.0
