    Yeah, similar to potato salad in that way.

    I so agree!

    Me too; I'm not generally a mayo fan. When I make cole slaw, it's with vinegar; for potato salad, oil and vinegar.

    The devil used food to doom all mankind and we continue to use it to doom ourselves by over indulging 😔😆

    Ketchup, avocado and mushrooms are nasty.

    Also, I work in long term care wiping *kitten*. I can handle poo, pee, pus, phlegm, blood etc no problem but theres no PPE in the world to make me not get disgusted by touching the dirty dishes during meal service.🤷‍♀️ Clearly I'm not the one who does dishes in my house.😂

    I'm not a fan, but flavored stuff people add to coffee, can be dairy based or not, sugary or not, although I think it's normally sweet. You add it as you would milk or cream. (I hate sweet coffee or flavored coffee, although I don't mind adding milk. I prefer it black most of the time, though.)

    Traditionally people cream their coffee with milk and variants of milk and actual heavy cream. One of the most well known and commonly used here is a product called Half & Half, which is exactly what it sounds like, half heavy cream, and half milk. The purpose that it will make your drink creamer than standard milk alone. Sometimes milk, or an above variant is referred to as "cream" for ones coffee.

    "Creamer" is usually a lactose free product made of milk proteins and other "enhancing ingredients" (to mimic heavy cream). Creamer used to be used because it had a longer shelf life than milk and can even be in powdered form. But today it is usually mixed with flavoured syrup, like caramel or hazelnut etc., the purpose to add "creaminess", but also a flavour, and sweetness to your coffee at once, and due to the flavour variety has become very popular.

    I can't stand pickles (or anything pickled for that matter). If pickle juice even touches the other food on my plate, whatever it is is ruined (usually a hamburger bun or French fries).

    I was just reminded of one of the worst popular foods I ever had the misfortune to come across.
    Green Bean Casserole! 🤢🤢🤢🤢

    Apparently thousands of people grew up eating this concoction during the holidays (here in The States at least). I thankfully never came across it in my youth. Didn't even hear of it until I was in my late twenties, when I came across it at a friends holiday gathering, and discovered it is beloved by many clearly, insane people.

    Green Bean Casserole is only food at Thanksgiving/Christmastime. Try to whip one of them bad boys up on a random weekend in June? Fuhgeddaboudit, inedible sludge.

    It's also properly made ONLY with canned green beans and cream of mushroom soup. I've tried to do it "from scratch," with fresh green beans, a homemade cream of mushroom soup, and onions I fried up myself - that is also delicious, but it is not Green Bean Casserole. It's creamy green beans and mushrooms with crispy onions.

    The only way I'd eat veggies at one point. :)

    My family also did the creamed spinach/creamed corn/baby carrots mixture recipe. Only way I'd eat spinach!

    Love green bean casserole cause it says “HOLIDAYS” 🎄🎅 like nothing else. But one spoonful a year is plenty, thank you.
