I’m from Chicago. I always put ketchup on my hotdog.
Cheap pudding cups. I especially like the butterscotch flavor.
Even the grandwreks gag.
You, Sir, are a gentleman of taste and refinement.
I like them so much I order whole tinned ones packed in oil from Greece because they’re just about impossible to get here. They are divine.
Well, that’s just good sense.
I like peanut butter and mayo sandwiches. I like saltines with butter. I like pasta with butter. I like rice with butter.
Pringles are mostly potato chips with MSG in them. People make a big deal out of I guess they’re not legally allowed to be called potato chips in a lot of countries but it’s mostly potato chips coated in cornstarch and MSG.
They’re still junk food because potato chips are junk food, but they’re unfairly criticized as not being “real food”.
They aren’t “real” potato chips, in that real ones are actual potatoes, sliced and fried. Pringles start as potatoes but they’re pulverized and shaped into that “saddle” shape that fits in a can so neatly. With, as you note, MSG and other chemical goodness.
Seaweed snacks.
Plain popcorn and olives, especially Kalamata olives: a mouthful of heaven.
I like saltines with butter. Doesn’t everyone? Pasta and rice too. But mayo doesn’t belong on a sandwich, or anywhere else in my opinion.
As, apparently, are you. But we knew that.
I like instant coffee. I think it’s even better than coffee made from a drip coffee maker.
Those dirt cheap Totinos party pizzas. I prefer them to 90% of the other frozen pizzas at the grocery store.
- White bread
- Pickle juice
- Buttermilk
- White Castle sliders
mmm
Is that a signature or a statement of gustatorial delight?
Is it wrong to like those?!
Mayo is wrong but not as bad as ketchup. You just butter the bread.
I used to like those horrible inadequate Arby’s roast beef sandwiches. I dunno if I’d still enjoy them now. They looked nothing like the ad,
being instead a sad little squashed-down bun with two or three small slices of limp brown meat. In college, I’d get the 5-sandwich special and put all the meat into one bun to get something nominally approaching that photo.
I like sauerkraut and no, my family did not come from Germany. Other European
nations also had variations of sauerkraut so that may explain why we had it
when I was a child. Didn’t exactly like when I was a child though. I’ve tried
Korean kimchi and have enjoyed the non spicy kinds.
I’ve found a lot of people from all sorts of backgrounds like sauerkraut. It’s pretty common on Reuben sandwiches and hotdogs. Other fermented vegetables are found in a lot of cultures. I’m not fond of it myself, it’s often too acidic for my tastes but in a Reuben it forms a reasonable balance with the other ingredients.
I get the most blow back for mustard on fries.
I have very pedestrian bland tastes and eat a boring limited diet, so I don’t usually consume anything all that controversial.
However I am a fan of liquorice and black jelly beans.
Whiner sandwiches for me. At least that’s what we called them. Take a couple uncooked seiners, slice them lengthwise, add Cheez Whiz and red relish. Only thing is, I can’t find red relish anymore.
