    Huitlachoche, BTW, is something that had sounded pretty yucky to me beforehand, having seen it growing on garden corn in my youth. It ain't pretty, at least per my definition. But I made myself order it, despite trepidation, because I like to try things. It was actually pretty good. I'd eat it again.


    I've had it and I really liked it.

    Raw meat smells mouth-wateringly delicious.
    Not that I'd ever actually eat it like that, but it smells so good.

    OMG, that's so disgusting I'm listening to it instead of watching him eat it! I wear gloves and don't cook most meat because I can't handle touching raw meat, especially fatty meat. I make faces the whole time I make it and try to only touch it with my pointy finger and thumb. Weird quirk, I know, I wish it was easier for me!

    Over cooked meat.

    Under cooked baked goods. Been eating undercooked cooked cookies and brownies all my life and haven’t gotten salmonella yet.

    Actual baked goods are overrated. Under-cooked is the way to go. TBH i won't eat them if they are finished :)

    The only good cake is cheesecake. The only good pie is pumpkin pie. The only exception to these rules are pumpkin cheesecake.

    Very unpopular opinion given the current discussion.... but I am not a fan of brownies at all. I don’t care for them and probably my least favorite type of baked good and I could take it or leave it. Hate how they are so chocolatey and dense.

    I fully agree. Actually most of the sweets posted here are mehhhhhhhhhh to me. The savoury things on the other hand, with the exception of horrible excuse of a pizza called deep dish, hell yea.

    I'm more savory myself... I love how drool-worthy desserts are, but find myself craving savory things > sweet

    I don’t get why people are so into steaks. I like them just fine but no more than any other piece of meat

    Same. When it comes to steak, I'm not really picky. honestly, I prefer the cheaper skirt steaks over the more expensive cuts! When it comes to meat I prefer steak > pork or chicken though

    Vegetable soup sucks and is pointless. I made mine with potatoes....huge mistake.

    I like a steak every now and then. For the most part, the more cooked the better; but I splurged on a porterhouse steak today, and will likely eat it rare or medium when I get it going.

    I love steamed white rice, and the stickier, the better.

    Same here. I like most of the carbs: rice, bread, pasta, potatoes, sweet and otherwise .... oh, well, everything in moderation.

    Since we're somewhat on the topic of undercooked brownies..
    Once, when I was a teenager, I accidentally baked brownies under "broil" instead of "bake."
    The HAPPIEST accident ever.
    The top was solid and had a bit of a crunch. And the underneath, the underneath part was hot, oozing, deliciously rich nearly raw brownie batter.
