I don’t like most citrus fruit straight, too acidic to me, but Grapefruit is the worst of them. The others are usually good if thinned or sweetened but nothing will make the taste of Grapefruit palatable. And even the name, it’s up there with Eggplant in the race for the most misleading name of a fruit. ---

I love curry ketchup. I also enjoy pineapple on pizza, cheeseless pizza (if you put enough sauce on it and don’t overcook it, everything stays in place), and barbecue pizza (with barbecue sauce in place of tomato sauce). And I’m still not sure why people get so upset about Necco wafers, unless they’ve only eaten stale ones. ---

I was told “no grapefruit.” I wasn’t given exceptions. And all the stuff I’ve read through the ages has never made an exception for ruby red grapefruit. That’s like saying a red apple is better than a green one. ~VOW ---

Real maple is thinner and more astringent than what most folks have grown up on. I prefer the real thing but it’s too trivial to argue about. see if i remember right log cabin used to make a variety of syrup with varying degrees of “real” maple syrup sort of like Lindt does with the amount of cacao in its chocolate bars … tey went from 100% to 20 percent and priced accordingly I’ve even seen maple “flavored” syrup over the years > [@Dewey\_Finn](#): > > > [@Colibri](#): > > > > When I was a kid in the 1950s we used to make mini-pizzas from Thomas’s English muffins, with a spoonful of spaghetti sauce and a slice of mozzarella on top, and a sprinkle of olive oil and oregano on top, toasted under the broiler in the oven.

I think we bought that pizza sauce. It might have been the commercials that started us on the English muffin mini-pizzas. ---

Their idea of pizza was a hamburger roll with ketchup and a slice of American cheese on top. And no, I didn’t like them. If anyone ever did like them they could post about it in this thread, but like my friend’s dad who claims to NOT like pizza at all it won’t seem credible. ---

Is that because of medication? I got the same raw deal! Why does it have to be grapefruit? Why couldn’t it be broccoli? It’s already poisonous and tries to warn with it’s horrible taste! If I had an excuse that my meds forbade me from eating broccoli I might not have to hear the irritating comments from people whenever I refuse to eat that dirty diaper smelling weed! ---

I like thin cheap bacon. The extra thick cut stuff, considered quality, is good for only a minute or two and then it gets hard as a rock. Thin cheap bacon stays just soft enough with the same taste. ---

Imitation crab. It’s basically generic whitefish pressed into little chunks with some red dye on the edges. I like the taste and texture better than the real stuff. I’ll melt some butter in a ramekin and just dip away. Mmmmm! Also, Lunchables. Yes, I’m a grown man, but they’re great for a simple quick snack. So what if there’s enough sodium to preserve a horse? They’re tasty. ---

I like to make Spaghettioos with 2 big handfuls of potato chips crushed up and mixed in. Then, on the bottom of the bowl I place a slice of white buttered bread before pouring the mixture on top. That way I can get a little bit of bread on my spoon as I dig away. Whenever I eat this my wife insists she is going to change her name to Wilma. ---

> [@pkbites](#): > > Then, on the bottom of the bowl I place a slice of white buttered bread before pouring the mixture on top. That’s interesting. I lived in a big old house that had been converted to apartments one year while in college. My roommates and I were friends with the occupants of several other apartments in the house and we got to know each other well and wound up with something like an open door policy among each other. Anyway, one of the guys from downstairs would put a piece of bread in the bottom of a bowl and pour in a can of Dinty Moore beef stew. I saw him eat this many times and I think he even got me to try it once. He had a habit of leaving his gravy soiled bowls around, lol. I’d never heard of this cuisine before or since…until now. Here’s the part that has me wondering: The house was on Milwaukee’s Eastside, near Brady & Farwell. Is this a Wisconsin delicacy? ---

Background music. I am a serious collector of Seeburg Background Music System records–easily several thousand songs that would have been heard in stores in the 60s and 70s–and I listen to it all day long. Want to try?

> [@pkbites](#): > > Why does it have to be grapefruit? Why couldn’t it be broccoli? My dad was told by his doctor that he could have grapefruit, in small quantities, but 180 degrees from the responsible meds. That means, if he took the meds in the morning, he could have grapefruit in the evening. And if you have an artificial mitral valve, you have to keep track of all ingredients which contain high amounts of Vitamin K. Of which broccoli is one. My other confession? I normally drink single malt whisky. I also enjoy Fireball cinnamon whiskey. I will never mix them. I promise. ---

Miracle Whip. I don’t consider it better or worse than mayonnaise, just different. I particularly like it on turkey sandwiches or in tuna salad. People will erupt when you mention Miracle Whip and call it disgusting, but it’s still being made (and grocery chains sell their own store-brand versions), so I can’t be the only person who likes it. ---

I like all cheese. And almost always have hard sharp cheddar and Havarti in the fridge. But I also almost always have good old Kraft American cheese. Not the individual wrapped, but Deli-Delux. I love the stuff.
