    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.
