Bottled water bought by people whose tap water is perfectly fine (i.e. almost everybody who buys it).
Raw oysters. They have the texture and salinity of snot
Avocados.
Starbucks
Truffle.
It’s so overpowering and stinky, I don’t understand why people want to pile it up on things or distill it to a liquid to turn the flavor of whatever you’re eating into gym socks.
Truffle fries? No. Stop. Go away.
Black Licorice.
Caviar.
Too expensive maybe, but it’s delicious.
I’ve seen a cook using fish leftovers, color and flavoring to make cheap fake caviar that people did not notice as fake.
Shellfish. The smell alone often makes me wretch.
Sea-bugs are awesome. Can I have yours?
Boiled peanuts
The fuck is a boiled peanut?
Caviar. Stop lying it’s gross.
Beer. And alcohol in general.
Raw tomatoes. You’re eating eyeballs and it’s not okay.
Craft beer. No way so many people genuinely enjoy that shit.
Craft beer
Are you talking about overly hopped IPAs? Because there’s “craft beer” versions of every style of beer that exists
I do hate that IPAs took over the craft beer scene. There are other good styles.
Not op, but yeah. If I wanted to drink a literal handful of hops I’d make a hops shake.
I like some craft beers that recognise that beer has more ingredients than just hops.
Gnocchi. Looks like larva grubs, thick enough that you can taste the blandness even through the sauce they come in.
You have had some sad ass gnocchi my friend.
Haha you’re probably right. I have only ever tried Slavic interpretations of what gnocchi is supposed to be. Open to having my mind changed though.
it’s worth trying Italian gnocchi. they are bland by themselves like most pasta, but they’re supposed to have a pleasant springy yet yielding texture that complements the sauce
Nuts of any kind. Peanuts, almonds, pistachios. Sure the flavor is fine, and the first crunchy bite can even be good. But then I’m left with not a nut in my mouth, but a bunch of smaller nut bits, and when I chew on those they turn into even smaller hard bits that get into every nook and cranny of my mouth. I swallow and feel the little bits scrape down my throat which is kinda uncomfortable.
Sure some of it ends up a manageable paste (which still isn’t great) but the time and effort it takes to dig every bit out from around my teeth and get every last bit ground down into paste so heavily outweighs the reward that I just don’t understand how people enjoy it. And all that is eating a single nut. You throw more in the mix and it just gets worse and worse.
All that said, peanut butter and nut-derived foods that don’t have that texture can be pretty great.
I don’t mean this to be insulting. I think something might be wrong with the way your mouth works.
Whatever you do don’t try to swallow the nut whole you have to work up to it
Complains about texture. Goes on to say peanut butter is great.
?!?!?!?!
Yes? One is smooth and the other isn’t.
