LOL. Can you describe the taste? I’m just so off-put by the look of it. ---

Hmm. Sort of like a cross between a fish cake and a matzoh ball. ---

> [@EinsteinsHund](#): > > Disco. I’m also a rocker who does not hate disco, but actually listens to it. It helps that I’m a bass player, since disco music has bass at the forefront doing cool stuff. Chic to me is the epitome of worthy disco, and there’s loads of bad elevator music type disco out there, but the good stuff is solid. ---

I like Spam. The trick is to combine it with something bland, to dilute the salt. ---

In a Cafe Society vein: The 2013 movie version of _The Lone Ranger_ (people probably hate it even more these days after the recent negative stories about Hammer and Depp) The original version of Pete Townshend’s _[Psychoderelict](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Psychoderelict)_–most fans detest the "concept " part of the album and much prefer the “music only” release, but I really like the story and how it was presented both on CD and as a live performance. ---

I’ve seen Manischevitz. Don’t know if I’ve seen Yehuda, but it shouldn’t be hard to find here. Do you like it? How do you eat it? As a side? A main dish? Thanks for the reco. ---

> [@needscoffee](#): > > Get yourself a jar of Yehuda Gefilte Fish, Original style. (I don’t recommend Manischevitz, personally.) I recommend Meal Mart, which is a little tastier than Yehuda (I don’t recommend Manischevitz either). But like I said above, there’s nothing like home-made. And I also enjoy the gel it comes in. ---

> [@Grey4791](#): > > German Potato Salad Love this. Doesn’t seem to be worth the effort to make it for myself, and my husband’s not much of a fan. Black licorice, including the salty kind and black jelly beans. Necco wafers. I can down a whole roll in one sitting. Candy corn. I can eat it until I’m almost sick. Peeps, especially if they are a bit stale. ---

I remember one of the seasons of the Great British Baking Show when they had their meat pie episode, and Paul Hollywood was saying you should use gelatin to fill in the gaps in the filling. Up to that point, I thought I might really want to try a meat pie. ---
