    Birthday cake sprinkles - they taste like little hard/waxy substances...

    Yeeeesss!!
    I have never understood the love of sprinkles. I remember being so disappointed the first time I had them even as a child. They looked so exciting and promising.

    Agree! Birthday sprinkles look so good and then disapoint. It's like catfishing.

    I don’t know why, but I actually like sprinkles. Only the rainbow ones, though.
    The brown ones look like mouse turds.

    Someone got me to try a mussel once and it wasn't bad. It was also drowning in melted butter. :)

    I grew up with canned green beans and they were my most hated veg. Once I tasted non canned, they became a favorite. I cannot imagine preferring anything with canned green beans. We never did a green bean casserole (although I hated all casseroles as a kid, esp with mushroom soup -- people would make some disgusting post T-giving turkey casserole which I never ate), but as an adult I added a fancy green beans dish to Thanksgiving (with fresh green beans, mushrooms, dill, and walnuts, sauteed in olive oil) and it has generally been popular and I love it.

    Mussels are pretty good, I prefer clams and oysters.

    I could eat pounds of mussels...but, yeah, they need the butter/white wine/garlic broth.

    Raw oysters on the other hand...no...just slimy snot.

    Mushrooms. I don't like the texture. Except that one time, coincidentally enough, when a friend made some and they were drowned in butter. :)

    Did you eat them together with the butter drenched mussels? I don't like mushrooms either and it's totally a texture issue.

    Two totally different times and now I'm thinking about just cutting out the middle man and slurping up the butter all on its own!

    I love love love cooked mushrooms, dislike to tolerate raw ones (with dressing they are okay in a salad).

    Correct. Horseradish is also delish.

    Snails are great, but mainly bc of the garlic+butter.

    Nope. Not horseradish, not snails. Also not tomatoes. I'll eat things made with tomatoes (blended salsa, chili, etc.), but I don't like the texture of tomatoes by themselves.

    Cookies are not best fresh out of the oven. They are best when the chocolate chips have a chance to cool and settle

    I get that - I don't want the chips melted either.

    They at least have to settle down from the "hot lava" stage. Warm is fine. So is room temp, later.

    I like soft (cake-ish texture) chocolate chip cookies better than crunchy ones, but some chewy ones are OK. I'm prejudiced, I'm sure, because my favorite cookies since childhood, that I still love, are a banana-chocolate chip cookie that my mom used to make. The original recipe called for lard. I no longer use lard, but usually butter or coconut oil.

    Agree. I don't care for them warm, and I like the texture of the firmer chips mixed in with the soft cookie.
    Unless! you plop a little ice cream on top of the hot fresh cookie. That is delicious.

    It is unpopular. My entire family will rush to eat them as soon as they are out of the oven.

    But I'm willing to wait for it (Wait for it.)
    I am inimitable
    I am an original

    you play a daring game though...those cookies might disappear before they are 'ready' for you.
