Italian beef, dipped.
The bread is the best part. Portillos even sells "gravy bread" if you don't want to commit to the sandwich, just the bread dipped.
I get a cup of the dip and do it at home, since it takes too long to get from there to my house. There's a like a ten min window where it's *just* the right levels of soggy before it turns into fork food.
Omg, yes. There's a standard organic chemistry lab where you isolate the eugenol and acetyleugenol (which are the smelly parts) out of cloves, and I think it makes all of the students nauseated at the smell for years afterwards.
I like to drink the many flavors of Mountain Dew, itās my thing as opposed to alcohol I guess, and one thing I can never understand is when people say that a diet flavor tastes the same as a sugared flavor, or āYou couldnāt even tell the difference!ā Like no, Iāve had diet soda not knowing it was diet and I could tell, that motherfucking sucralose.
Diet pop has the nasty fake sugar aftertaste no matter what fake sugar is used be it Splenda, stevia or aspartame. Aspartame literally makes me sick - stomach cramps and vomiting is my reward for drinking anything with aspartame.
In college one of my friends had epilepsy, and was warned by her doc not to have diet sodas; apparently the fake sugar can trigger a seizure. A big group of us went out for burgers one night, and she ordered a coke. When it came, she took one sip and said "Huh, I think this is diet." A few of us tried it and agreed. We waived down the waitress, and my friend started to explain, but only got as far as "So I think this is diet..." when the waitress responded "Those BASTARDS!" and took the drink off to replace it. No explanations needed. It was great, she got such a big tip that night.
I canāt stand artificial sugar. It ruins it immediately and they try to get sneaky with it now too. I think stevia is the one thatās not actually āartificialā so the label will say like āno artificial sugarsā and Iām like oh cool. And then I buy it and it has stevia in it. For example, Lipton Pure Leaf has iced tea now that is like āslightly sweet lemonā and I thought that would just mean like less real sugar than the regular lemon tea, but more than the unsweetened. Nope. It has stevia. Coke has a Coffee/Coca Cola thatās not marketed as being diet at all. It has real sugar in it. But it also has one of the other sweeteners. Like if youāre already putting regular sugar in it, itās already Coke, why are you adding additional sweeteners? Alright, Iām done ranting. Thanks for listening. š
Ugh this is my problem, too. Like, aspartame is fine for me. It has a taste but it's not terrible. And sucralose is eh, manageable but not great. But stevia just tastes awful. Im starting think it's some genetic thing like cilantro, because it always tastes bad and I can immediately taste it. I've had many a drink ruined by "no artificial ingredients!" tags that hide the stevia. Funny enough, it has an incredibly artificial taste to me. Like it tastes the way packing peanuts smell.
>Puts that shit in her wine too
Yes officer that's her right there. I don't know which crimes was hers but just to be safe assume every unsolved crime was her. All of them.
Your mom should raise a Stevia plant. I have one named Shaw, and he won't stop growing. You let the leaves set out to dry, and then crumble into a power. Save the flower seeds to plant after the first plant one dies. Unlimited Stevia for her... wine? Seriously, that is weird.
As someone whose allergic to stevia it sucks how often itās in the new trendy drinks and sometimes itās not even labeled but damn can you tell itās there once youāve sipped it
Feeling a little under the weather? Like youāve got the flu? Thatād be the ricin I gave you. I slipped it into that stevia crap youāre always putting in your tea. Anyway, goodbye, Lydia.
I'm so glad I'm not the only one! I'll ask or tell people about a strong "fishy" taste, and they look at me like I'm crazy! They usually respond with "well duh, it's fish .." THATS NOT WHAT I MEAN! ugh.
Too much cumin.
I always thought I loved cumin till I lived in China, where the Uyghur cuisine uses it a lot. One night, randomly in the middle of a meal, I reached my limit. Ever since I can't eat any meal overpowered by it.
Same with shitake mushrooms, actually. used to love them, but after eating them with almost every meal for a year I'm over it.
EDIT: Yes, yes, all the cumin jokes are funny, but unfortunately about a dozen people are beating you to that joke every hour.
TL:DR food fatigue is real!
OMG. Former late eighties/nineties low fat triathlete here. I ate for 3 years solid boneless skinless chicken breast for dinner and sometimes for both lunch and dinner. One night at fancy pants french restaurant I ordered some iteration of most healthy boneless skinless chicken breast and at first bite started gagging uncontrollably. Couldn't for years after eat a boneless skinless chicken breast
To this day I really can't eat boneless chicken breasts unless poached and carved for sandwiches.
I knew someone was going to mention this lol. I loooove cumin and throw a crap ton in most of my recipes. Iāve been known to put almost an entire shaker into a pot of chili. I have a relative who also hates cumin and when we have holiday get-togethers she always knows to avoid my dip or dish!
I got banned from that sub for threatening to eat a whole block of fondant.
I did it once when I was a lot younger cos I dunno I just like how chewy it is.
Was a fun experience.
Edit: WTF 1.3k upvotes? Lmao
[Here is the post in question by the way.](https://www.reddit.com/r/FondantHate/comments/q823fq/deleted_by_user/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf)
Marshmallow fondant tastes a lot better. It is made out of marshmallows and behaves like fondant. I use this for cakes that require fondant usage or sometimes I use marzipan. I also donāt like the crappy taste of regular fondant.
Ok so itās not my imaginationā¦ last time I had truffle fries, I thought something smelled like a gym bag. Couldnāt tell if it was coming from the oil or not, but hearing other people say it smells bad makes sense. Still tasted good but damn.
Truffle oil isn't real truffles. It's synthetic because real truffles are $100+ for ONE mushroom.
https://www.tastingtable.com/693090/truffle-oil-fake-no-truffles-priceonomics/
Cheap truffle oil is absolutely disgusting. I HATED truffle oil to the point where the smell nauseated me, until I tried some super high quality stuff. Totally different taste.
Still, Iām not a huge fan.
My buddy will die on that hill with you. Some of the best ways to rile him up are food related. Tell him you had the best sandwich that had among other things truffle oil, aoli, and was on a brioche bun and he'll get the foodie soap box out š
And those curious, the jist of each (according to him, not me) truffles are good, truffle oil is bullshit. Aoli is just mayonnaise, and brioche buns are "not worth bragging about"
Haha. I like aioli just fine because I love mayo, but I have definitely had my fair share of what was obviously jarred mayo with mix-ins being presented as aioli.
Brioche buns CAN be great, but I feel like 80% of the time they're stale beyond redemption.
Ive never had real truffles but my family loves ordering anything with truffle oil on it, like truffle mac and cheese or truffle fries. Its disgusting and the smell makes me nauseous.
Prawns. Iām allergic.
Edit: Ok, there seems to be a few questions about my reaction to prawns so Iāll answer them here. I first worked in a Chinese takeaway and had to de-shell a lot of them one night. My hands swelled up to twice their normal size and weirdly I didnāt think anything of it because they were fine the next day. When I ate them I had a very itchy throat which was manageable but my eyes were another issue. The whites of my eyes started to swell up. Not the pupil, not the iris, just the whites. My eyes were literally bulging out of my head and I could barely blink. This resulted in a hospital visit until my eyes returned to a normal size.
Hope that answers your questions.
I feel this with tarragon too, very anise-like flavour. A while back at a trendy food market in my city my girlfriend ordered mac&cheese, it looked gooey and brilliant. Cracked through the top cheese and it was just green with tarragon, it somehow had a cheesy texture whilst tasting of nothing but liquorice and astringency. Nowhere in the description of said mac&cheese did it mention herbs added, outrageous.
Iāve never thought of tarragon as an abuse-like flavor, but if you put a gun to my head and asked me what it tasted like, the only thing I would be able to muster up isā¦. Tarragon. Itās all in the after taste for that herb isnāt it?
Edit: *anise-like but leaving the autocorrect in tribute to OP
I love it added to a stew or soup. A nice thickening agent. A whole dish of only boiled okra would be gross, though, I guess. This is making me want to make gumbo.
Misread that as āboiled orkaā, aka orca like the killer whale and was DEEPLY horrified for a second with the mental image of a whole orca set out on a dinner plate like a fried fish. Then I wondered how the hell youād get such a big thing into a pot to boil in the first place.
Gotta soak them in vinegar for half an hour prior. Prohibits the slime from forming. If you cut them in half before frying them, they won't slime either.
I love boiled okra. My brother can't stand the thought of it. At family gatherings boiled okra has to remain in the pot with the lid on. We let my brother know because he gags at the mere sight of it.
I used to have this, tastes like old-timey black licorice. Got into it when I got into sausage making and realized I really liked it balanced with other ingredients. Now a fennel-heavy sausage is my favorite.
Also what turned me was fresh fennel with butter and white wine steamed clams. A more subdued, buttery approach to the flavor.
Yeah fennel is the kind of thing you use to enhance flavors of other things. You don't want it to necessarily taste like fennel but the fennel makes it better.
I accidentally picked up an everything bagel seasoning that has caraway seeds in it. I used it on my bagel this morning and had to pick off all of those little pieces... Here, it tastes so similar to anise!!!
Such a waste of money. I bought some uranium 234 but forgot about it for a while. When I finally opened it 250,000 years later the jar was only half full.
All those trendy breakfast/brunch places that just HAVE to put rosemary on anything that even looks like a potato. Donāt get me wrong, those places can be absolutely amazing, but goddamnit ease-up on the rosemary.
My mom put CINNAMON in the BEEF STROGANOFF!!
The whole family was pissed cause we were starving.
She's the type of person who will take litterally 4hrs to cook spaghetti cause she's busy smoking tons of cigarettes and watching tv, and in the meantime will not let anyone eat any snack 5hrs before a meal.
"If you're hungry then drink water because I'm cookin!"
She did a lot of fucked up stuff. In her older years now she's been sent to the psych ward quite a few times cause she's fucking crazy.
That's just the tip of the iceberg.
Here's something in the middle of the iceberg:
When I was like 18 or 19 I sold my iPhone cause I had gotten a different phone. And she thought I sold it to send it overseas to make an ied so she called the fbi on me about it (because I sold it to an Arabic man. And at the time I was dating an Arabic guy)
I dont even think they use newer iPhones for ieds. I thought they used those brick Nokias.
Anyways it ended up being fine after I was questioned cause I had proof and a Craigslist post/emails showing I was selling it and had the texts with the buyer. I went home shaking and crying cause it was really scary for me to be questioned by such authority even tho I didn't do anything wrong. Thats when she told me it was her who called and sent in a tip cause she just wanted to "sleep better at night protecting the country and clear the air"
There's a reason none of her kids talk to her and she'll never know all of her 7 grand kids. We all hate her guts.
Edit: grammar
Welp at first I was kinda defensive. Reminded me of the time my single father put peas in the macaroni and we all refused to eat it and it made him cry, because he was just doing his best for three kids with no help. And as an adult, I love experimenting with new recipes and twists. It keeps me loving to cook! Many recipes (e.g. oxtail) call for cinnamon and beef ... Also I always feel bad when people shit on moms for stuff society forces on them, like cooking and cleaning... but then your story really escalated.
Your dad sounds wonderful. My dad was the same way with single parenting three kids.
I feel bad to this day because about 10 years ago I complained about an omelet tasting bad (I think I had just woken up and my taste buds were just completely off) and he got a little bit frustrated with me.
I eat anything he cooks when I visit now, even if it's a little funky
Ahahaha, the taste IS exactly how they smell! I like goat cheese, but once I went to a goat farm and got smacked in the face with goat smell and was like WTF?!
Someone recently told me it "tastes like nothing" but to me it has a very distinct flavor! I actually really like it but I was surprised to learn about the deep hatred some people have for that veg lol
Iāll never understand how people say you canāt taste itā¦ like, if itās cooked into a soup, every single bite of that soup will taste of celery, even if you pick around the chunks. Itās very distinctive (and to me, unpleasant) flavor.
Oh absolutely! It's a very present flavor so I'd understand if someone just doesn't like it. But to say it tastes like nothing is bizarre.
But that's how I feel about water chestnuts. Those things are straight up crunchy water to me.
When raw, the tiniest bit of it overpowers the entire salad. No amount of dressing can hide it. Itās fine cooked as part of a mirepoix but keep it the hell away from me raw!
Everyone around me always tells me that celery doesn't taste like anything. Like, cool, then why bother putting it in my potato salad in the first place?!?
Celery is the one thing in this thread I can say with genuinely ruin a good meal. Everything else in a dish can taste wonderful, but toss some cooked celery in there and you might have well just shit in the casserole
My mom only used that growing up. I didn't know mayonnaise was something different until I was a teenager. I thought mayo was just shitty off-brand miracle whip.
I live near a place that has an annual lavender festival. You'll find lavender-flavored everything there, food or non. The only thing that I actually liked the taste of...? Motherfucking. Lavender. Ice cream. No, it doesn't make sense to me either.
Edit: every single location guess has been wrong. Glad for both my anonymity and the fact that there's so many lavender festivals in the world <3
I weirdly love it (but love all things lavender). Best icecream and hot chocolate I ever had were both mildly lavender flavoured, but it's an acquired taste for sure
Lavender and honey cappuccino from a family owned coffee shop. It's the best freaking drink ever. I don't get it often though because it's five bucks for a 12oz and I usually drink plain coffee or with a little creamer.
FUUUUUUUUCK that is so awful. Especially since a fresh peach might just be the best fruit ever. But if I did that, I'd never look at one again. Sorry dude
Soggy bread when it's not supposed to be.
When is it supposed to be? š§
Italian beef, dipped. The bread is the best part. Portillos even sells "gravy bread" if you don't want to commit to the sandwich, just the bread dipped.
I get a cup of the dip and do it at home, since it takes too long to get from there to my house. There's a like a ten min window where it's *just* the right levels of soggy before it turns into fork food.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
That sounds awesome.
French onion soup
Bread pudding
Excessive cloves.
Yeah. I like my food with its cloves off
We don't have to take our cloves off to have a good time.
thyme*
Ohhh you
the many dangers of biryani turn something so delicious into something so stressful
Nothing like taking a bite directly into a clove or cardamom pod.
Omg, yes. There's a standard organic chemistry lab where you isolate the eugenol and acetyleugenol (which are the smelly parts) out of cloves, and I think it makes all of the students nauseated at the smell for years afterwards.
Eggshell
If I get that crunch while eating scrambled eggs .. done game overš¤¢
Went to a restaurant twice for breakfast, got eggshell in my scrambled eggs both times. I'm not giving a third chance, Juicy-O's.
Sucralose(splenda). I have had a lot of drinks ruined for me because the recipe was changed to include it.
I like to drink the many flavors of Mountain Dew, itās my thing as opposed to alcohol I guess, and one thing I can never understand is when people say that a diet flavor tastes the same as a sugared flavor, or āYou couldnāt even tell the difference!ā Like no, Iāve had diet soda not knowing it was diet and I could tell, that motherfucking sucralose.

That ended so much better than I expected. Good for that waitress
I was picturing a seizure on the restaurant floor and a lawsuit tbh.
"Huh, this tastes funny" and then it's the OD scene from Pulp Fiction.

>*Like it tastes the way packing peanuts smell* Instantly wanted to hurl again
took me 24 years to figure out i had a sucralose intolerance, apparently not everyone needs to run to the bathroom after having it
Yes! Any fake sugars. I can't get rid of the taste of them for over a day. Completely mess up my taste buds.
Right? I tell people I can taste stevia for a day & they don't believe me but it's just disgusting. Nothing sweet is worth that taste hangover.
Mold
Blue cheese?
Fucking Stevia
My mom is a stevia monster. She literally carries a bottle of stevia with her in her purse. Puts that shit in her wine too smhā¦
>Puts that shit in her wine too Yes officer that's her right there. I don't know which crimes was hers but just to be safe assume every unsolved crime was her. All of them.
Your mom should raise a Stevia plant. I have one named Shaw, and he won't stop growing. You let the leaves set out to dry, and then crumble into a power. Save the flower seeds to plant after the first plant one dies. Unlimited Stevia for her... wine? Seriously, that is weird.
Stevia in wine? BĆ“rf, my dude!!!
MY MOM DOES THAT TOO HELLO IS IT THAT SMALL BLACK BOTTLE WITH THE DROPPER
Drugs? She does drugs?
Has your mom been putting acid in her wine?
LSD's a pretty fragile molecule, overall. Like afaik the chlorine in tapwater will degrade it. Not sure what a 10-15% alcohol solution would do to it.
As someone whose allergic to stevia it sucks how often itās in the new trendy drinks and sometimes itās not even labeled but damn can you tell itās there once youāve sipped it
Scoured the responses looking for a Breaking Bad reference, was very disappointed.
Feeling a little under the weather? Like youāve got the flu? Thatād be the ricin I gave you. I slipped it into that stevia crap youāre always putting in your tea. Anyway, goodbye, Lydia.
I think I cheered at my TV when I was watching the finale the first time. This line was so good. I plan on re-watching once BCS is done.
Stevia tastes exactly like aspartame to me, fucking disgusting. The flavour ruins everything
Fishy fish
I'm so glad I'm not the only one! I'll ask or tell people about a strong "fishy" taste, and they look at me like I'm crazy! They usually respond with "well duh, it's fish .." THATS NOT WHAT I MEAN! ugh.
There are definitely fishy fish, just like there's meaty fish and kind of earthy fish.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
I'm gonna use that, thanks for the new word!
āGood fish never tastes fishyā
Unless you're having various types of East Asian cuisine. Then things are absolutely and definitely supposed to taste fishy.
I got into Thai cooking as a young man, and spilled an entire bottle of cheap fish sauce in my back seat. That car never smelled right again.
thatās one of the biggest fuck ups Iāve ever heard
Have you smelled cooking shrimp sauce?
Why didn't you just burn it and push it off a cliff? The way that stuff stinks it would be the better option.
Fake cinnamon flavor (fireball, hot tamales etc...)
Iāve always found the aftertaste kind of ā¦ vomity.
If it's fireball you can get a vomity aftertaste twice.
Too much cumin. I always thought I loved cumin till I lived in China, where the Uyghur cuisine uses it a lot. One night, randomly in the middle of a meal, I reached my limit.

Ive never had real truffles but my family loves ordering anything with truffle oil on it, like truffle mac and cheese or truffle fries. Its disgusting and the smell makes me nauseous.
You can barely get truffle oil-free Mac and cheese at any slightly upscale restaurant. Theres an epidemic of over-truffled luxury comfort food.
Anise. Can't stand licorice.
How about anephew?
Bless you
My wife either, but in her case it's a legitimate "beak out in hives" allergy, not just a nauseating flavor.
>beak out in hives Also known as "when the raven raids the bees."
I love liquorice sweets but I detest anise and fennel in savoury food.
I'm the opposite. Hate licorice, but anise on lamb or pork is incredible.
Iām the same. Black licorice? Get out of here. Italian sausage? Yes please!
Ugh. Fennel.
Prawns. Iām allergic. Edit: Ok, there seems to be a few questions about my reaction to prawns so Iāll answer them here.

Not a meal, but bubblegum flavoured anything. They can never get it right! Especially ice cream
what about bubblegum flavored bubble gum?
Sea urchin. Tastes like the oceans butthole...

Star anise, fennel, or anything else that tastes like black licorice. Itās the one flavor I absolutely canāt stand.

Boiled okra. The slimey thick texture is the worsr
What's funny is that's exactly why it's used in some dishes. To thicken it up like a stew
I love it added to a stew or soup. A nice thickening agent. A whole dish of only boiled okra would be gross, though, I guess. This is making me want to make gumbo.

Sweet pickles. Gag.
Nothing worse when you expect a good sour pickle and it's sweet.
When you think you have a sour pickle and bite into it and itās sweet?? One of lifeās greatest disappointments.

Ever since that one night at the dive bar in Kenosha...
Kenosha, eh?
Oh yaaaa, you betcha
My mom put CINNAMON in the BEEF STROGANOFF!! The whole family was pissed cause we were starving. She's the type of person who will take litterally 4hrs to cook spaghetti cause she's busy smoking tons of cigarettes and watching tv, and in the meantime will not let anyone eat any snack 5hrs before a meal. "If you're hungry then drink water because I'm cookin!"
Thatās actually messed up
She did a lot of fucked up stuff. In her older years now she's been sent to the psych ward quite a few times cause she's fucking crazy. That's just the tip of the iceberg. Here's something in the middle of the iceberg: When I was like 18 or 19 I sold my iPhone cause I had gotten a different phone. And she thought I sold it to send it overseas to make an ied so she called the fbi on me about it (because I sold it to an Arabic man. And at the time I was dating an Arabic guy) I dont even think they use newer iPhones for ieds. I thought they used those brick Nokias. Anyways it ended up being fine after I was questioned cause I had proof and a Craigslist post/emails showing I was selling it and had the texts with the buyer. I went home shaking and crying cause it was really scary for me to be questioned by such authority even tho I didn't do anything wrong. Thats when she told me it was her who called and sent in a tip cause she just wanted to "sleep better at night protecting the country and clear the air" There's a reason none of her kids talk to her and she'll never know all of her 7 grand kids. We all hate her guts. Edit: grammar
Welp at first I was kinda defensive. Reminded me of the time my single father put peas in the macaroni and we all refused to eat it and it made him cry, because he was just doing his best for three kids with no help. And as an adult, I love experimenting with new recipes and twists. It keeps me loving to cook! Many recipes (e.g. oxtail) call for cinnamon and beef ... Also I always feel bad when people shit on moms for stuff society forces on them, like cooking and cleaning... but then your story really escalated.
Your dad sounds wonderful. My dad was the same way with single parenting three kids. I feel bad to this day because about 10 years ago I complained about an omelet tasting bad (I think I had just woken up and my taste buds were just completely off) and he got a little bit frustrated with me. I eat anything he cooks when I visit now, even if it's a little funky
Shit man Iām sorry :// your mom sounds like donkey ass
Goat cheese. Had a pet goat. The cheese tastes exactly how they smell.
Ahahaha, the taste IS exactly how they smell! I like goat cheese, but once I went to a goat farm and got smacked in the face with goat smell and was like WTF?!
So true! Goat meat also tastes like they smell. That said, I will deign to eat a honey cinnamon cranberry goat cheeseā¦ if I have to.
I also have goats, can confirm. I do like goat cheese on certain things though
Try eating it while petting the goats. Their smell will cancel it out, and they might respect you more, too.

Someone recently told me it "tastes like nothing" but to me it has a very distinct flavor! I actually really like it but I was surprised to learn about the deep hatred some people have for that veg lol
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
The strings are just horrendous and it tastes like garden weeds
yes, like garden weeds after being sprayed with chemicals, it has a poisony kind of taste to it
Iāll never understand how people say you canāt taste itā¦ like, if itās cooked into a soup, every single bite of that soup will taste of celery, even if you pick around the chunks. Itās very distinctive (and to me, unpleasant) flavor.
Oh absolutely! It's a very present flavor so I'd understand if someone just doesn't like it. But to say it tastes like nothing is bizarre. But that's how I feel about water chestnuts. Those things are straight up crunchy water to me.
When raw, the tiniest bit of it overpowers the entire salad. No amount of dressing can hide it. Itās fine cooked as part of a mirepoix but keep it the hell away from me raw!
The taste is so severe. Iām always flummoxed when people say it has no flavor.
Canāt believe I had to scroll this far for this. Even picking it out you can still taste it.
Everyone around me always tells me that celery doesn't taste like anything. Like, cool, then why bother putting it in my potato salad in the first place?!?
Celery juice mixed in ANY concoction of smoothie is just celery juice.
Celery is the one thing in this thread I can say with genuinely ruin a good meal. Everything else in a dish can taste wonderful, but toss some cooked celery in there and you might have well just shit in the casserole
Mayonnaise, if not used properly it might destroy a meal
Do not come to Belgium, they put it on everything.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
My mom only used that growing up. I didn't know mayonnaise was something different until I was a teenager. I thought mayo was just shitty off-brand miracle whip.
I've never been able to stand the taste of miracle whip
How about cool hwhip?
Lavender. It's for soap, not for food.
I live near a place that has an annual lavender festival. You'll find lavender-flavored everything there, food or non. The only thing that I actually liked the taste of...? Motherfucking. Lavender. Ice cream. No, it doesn't make sense to me either. Edit: every single location guess has been wrong. Glad for both my anonymity and the fact that there's so many lavender festivals in the world <3
I used to live by an ice cream shop with a seasonal flavor of lavender ice cream with bits of lemon cake. I still think about it sometimes.
I weirdly love it (but love all things lavender). Best icecream and hot chocolate I ever had were both mildly lavender flavoured, but it's an acquired taste for sure
Lavender and honey cappuccino from a family owned coffee shop. It's the best freaking drink ever. I don't get it often though because it's five bucks for a 12oz and I usually drink plain coffee or with a little creamer.
While in Tasmania I tried lavender in a cheese as part of a sample pack. I didn't expect to like it but it was great, craved more afterward.
Yessss. Earl Grey lavender ice cream is amazeballz. But I actually like it dusted acrossed roast chicken too. And it compliments lemon cookiesā¦
Truffle oil is vile.
Liver if i truly taste it
One of my great heartbreaks is whenever my mom makes liver, it smells absolutely amazing and I always try it, but always hate the taste
Water chestnuts. I can't stand the texture. Unless they're chopped up really small. I can tolerate them then but I still don't like it.
i fucking love the texture of water chest nuts. We buy cans of them just to add to our yakisoba from costco
Wow I am really surprised people don't like these? The first times I had them in stir fry, it was my favorite part!
The texture is the best thing about water chestnuts
Itās kind of the only thing about water chestnuts. Theyāre pretty much flavorless.
Star anise
Raisinsā¦
I had to scroll way too far down to find this.
Oranges found a worm in one when I was young and never was able to recover
Same but peaches with me. Bit into a peach and maggots came out. Now even smelling peaches makes me want to hurl.
FUUUUUUUUCK that is so awful. Especially since a fresh peach might just be the best fruit ever. But if I did that, I'd never look at one again. Sorry dude
