What? :eek: What about file gumbo when okra’s not in season?
My response to the OP would be lemon merangue pie sans merangue. Blech!
I know that what you guys call mayonnaise has very little relationship to the Spanish sauce, but the Spanish sauce doesn’t have vinegar. bloody heretics, invent your own food names!
I like to order a chicken salad sandwich on wheat toast. Hold the butter, the lettuce, the mayonnaise, and the chicken.
Wasn’t that the point? Liking a dish without its key ingredient?
I like gyros without the tzatziki sauce, but that’s technically a discretionary ingredient.
So that’s, what, toast with celery?
Rumaki without the chicken livers - just bacon wrapped around a water chestnut, and baked.
I need to cut down on my high-GI carbs, which means pizza without the crust.
And although I love salads, I can’t stand lettuce in sandwiches. For one thing it’s usually iceberg, which I don’t even consider a food. And also, it’s usually wilted and warm. When I get a fast-food burger, I remove the lettuce, tomato and pickle, and eat them separately. The onion stays.
I have a friend who often orders a Reuben, hold the sauerkraut and dressing.
I’ve told him more than once that that’s not a Reuben, it’s a corned beef and Swiss sandwich. But he prefers doing it his way.
Potato and/or macaroni salad, no celery please. Celery is one of those foods that, for me, ruins anything you put it in. Like walnuts in brownies.
Isn’t “mayonnaise” French?
No, it’s Jack Nicholson: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6wtfNE4z6a8
Any baked good with raisins is better without raisins. WAY better.
I don’t hate raisins, but boy do they not belong in baked goods.
Exactly. Raisins are fine alone, but I hate them as an ingredient.
Cooked, soft celery in soup or stew is fine, good even, but I hate raw celery in anything.
Back in college I worked at a pizza place. One night these two college girls came in and ordered a taco pizza. Except they didn’t want lettuce or tomato on it, and I’m thinking there was something else, maybe onion or black olive. And they didn’t want the cheddar cheese we put on the taco pizza, they just wanted regular mozzarella.
I said, “So basically you want a hamburger pizza with taco sauce?”
Chicago Dog without the sport peppers.
Sliced in five pieces. That way it’s easy.
Agree about raisins, one of my favorite cookies is oatmeal cookies w/o the raisins. My wife refuses to make them like that and so I eat the raisins first and save the cookie for last.
I’m the opposite with celery: hate cooked celery, love it raw.
I’ll add eggnog and french toast both of which I make without nutmeg-hate the stuff though I can live with it if it’s not a lot. I use cinnamon instead.
I never even knew that French toast was supposed to have nutmeg. Or any other spice, for that matter. I’ve always had it just as bread fried in an egg/milk mixture.
Wouldn’t the main ingredients in cheesesteak be…cheese and steak?
Personally, I can’t think of any. I’m strongly against all forms of mayonnaise, but there aren’t really any foods that need mayo - maybe tuna/chicken salad? I don’t eat those.
A coworker of mine is vegan, and he comes in with some really interesting dishes that you’d never think would work. For instance: a bologne sandwich. How the hell does a vegan eat a bologne sandwich without the bologne?! Answer: you get tofu bologne, it tastes EXACTLY like bologne (i.e. disgusting).
Chimming in as a non-fan of olives and kraut.
I like eggs, bacon, Spam and sausage without the Spam.
