Foods You Don't Like

Re: Foods You Don't Like

And what's really cool, is while recently cruising my old stomping grounds of Maywood + (S/E LA) on the neat google satellite, my lil old Winchell's Donut shop was still there! Big maple bars, super glazed donuts covered thick with coconut, and raspberry filled sugar bombs (like malasadas only WAY better) were breakfast half the time. You can blame them for what I am today
Thank you Winchell's!

A - BAD DONUT

While we're on the subject of donuts, what is, or was the big deal a few years back when Crisy Creme was opening stores in Hawaii? Everybody was all aflutter about this supposed incredibly great new donut coming to the islands.
I've yet to see any evidence than these donuts are merely some of the most ordinary, bordering on bland donuts ever made.
Compared to the Winchell's Donuts I grew up with, even the plain cake donut they served was infinitely better than the overly vaunted Crispy Creme, especially if they aren't eaten very fresh.
You could let any Winchell's donut sit for day's and it was still great.

Maybe it was just that Hawaii hadn't seen a REAL donut in a long time.

No, it's not just Hawaii. They opened Krusty Kreme down here like ten years ago and everyone when all nuts over them. Why? They taste like $%^! Give me a Dunkin Donut any day of the week. Krusty Kreme donuts come in glaze (I've heard rumors of chocolate, but have yet to see one), and they sort of sink into themselves if left sitting for more than an hour. Plus they're too sweet and leave a sugary residue on everything.

People around here finally wised up, because Dunkin Donuts is back. I've seen four since we moved back. There used to be two in the whole city! Up North, they are on every corner! Why? Because Yankees know the goodness of a Boston Creme!

Finally thought of something I don't particularly like: the japanese pickled vegetable known as takuan.

But takuan goes so well with Musubi!

Now, back to the topic at hand...I do not like veal. One of the very few things I don't like.

One of the best restaurant meals I've had this year was the Wisconsin Veal Chop at Le Bistro in Niu Valley. Even my three fellow dining companions thought it was the best entree of the night!

I'm feeling a little bit like the odd man out on this thread, because I keep reading the posts and thinking: "hmmm... i eat this... and i eat that... and that... and that..."

Re: Foods You Don't Like

BEETS. I couldn't stand to have the juice "contaminate" my rice and everything else on the plate at family restaurants like FLAMINGO, COLUMBIA INN, and LIKELIKE. So I learned to ask what the vegetable was before ordering..

Danny Dunn would make for a great donut company or was it Homer Price

It was Homer Price, Scholastic Books, thanks for the memory Craig!

Re: Foods You Don't Like - Bitter Melon

The combination of Marshmallows and Chocolate for me is a NO-NO. Which also makes ROCKY ROAD ICE CREAM on my LEAST FAVORITE Ice Cream flavor list. PASS.

OOOOO! Send it all my way...love love love that combo. My father-in-law and I used to enjoy all those marshmallow eggs with chocolate coating at Easter and the santas at Christmas. Now I eat a couple in his honor every year.

Re: Foods You Don't Like - Bitter Melon

I used to loooooove all of them growing up. ... I think I kind of conditioned myself to consider the calories behind these foods and weigh something sweet vs something I love (meat and cheese kind of things). I'll go for a day old slice of pepperoni pizza every time over the most scrumptious piece of cake you can imagine.

Wow!, I completely agree, and I couldn't have expressed it better. I like white chocolate truffles, for example, but I'd rather eat more real food that I love, and pass on the dessert foods that I don't really care for so much.

What planet are you from?

Responding to this post by StinkyTheGrump:

Also forgot to mention that I don't like any sweets at all which I suppose is pretty odd. Chocolates, candies, cakes, cookies, ice cream...don't care for any of them

My best bet is he's from Mars, and you're from Venus.

Was watching Food Network this weekend, when Sandra Lee brought up one of her childhood favorites: S'MORES. BLECK! Cough. Cough.

I used to loooooove all of them growing up. Now it's not that I think they're gross or anything...I would just much rather eat something else or nothing at all. I think I kind of conditioned myself to consider the calories behind these foods and weigh something sweet vs something I love (meat and cheese kind of things). I'll go for a day old slice of pepperoni pizza every time over the most scrumptious piece of cake you can imagine.

Must be from Venus

All those sweets would melt quick on any planet close to the sun. Probably favors his meats papa'a.

Natto. Tastes and smells like Mastik. Could probably be used as mastik.

Some people love it, I don't.
