Food: Canned green beans and canned peas. I like them warmed with a vinegary mild hot sauce like Trappeys, Texas Pete’s, Franks, etc.
Non-food: I think Chevy Chase is hysterical.
I don’t actively dislike bacon but it’s my least favorite breakfast meat. Sausage (patties or links) is heavily favored, then ham, unless we’re counting corned beef hash which races to the top of the heap. I dont really care for bacon on sandwiches or burgers.
Pineapple, cured pork (pepperoni, ham, Canadian bacon) and jalapeno is the ultimate sweet-savory-spicy combination.
Instant ramen is what I crave after not feeling well and just starting to get my appetite back again. I stick to a few Maruchen flavors: Chili, picante chicken, creamy chicken (I think it has nondairy creamer in it, lol), shrimp, soy sauce (formerly Oriental). Add about four drops of sesame oil and 10 cilantro leaves for a pretty satisfying meal in an uneasy tummy.
Most of the stuff listed here are things I definitely do NOT like. However, I never knew you weren’t supposed to like chili cheese fritos. I LOVE them. And everybody I’ve introduced to them has loved them, too.
I agree. Slow Train Comin’ had Mark Knopfler all over it, and Shot of Love has some of the best lyrics… and it’s fun musically.
For me, I really appreciate good chocolate, and I’m willing to pay for a New Guinea 70% Dark With A Touch of Small-Batch Caribbean Rum and Hawaiian Sea Salt…
(and it’s about as healthy as candy gets… 70% is low in saturated fats and high in flavonoids and antioxidents and other good stuff).
But I’d rather have a Mounds bar.
Or a Twix, or Rolos, come to think of it, or a Skor bar! Guess I’m not a *gourrrmand, *after all.
I feel at some point 99% of the internet agreed that the “official only way” to enjoy pizza was ordering it from an Authentic Eye-talian Mom and Pop Pizza from a small shop on 57th Street in New York City, and that ordering from any chain pizza shop is the greatest sin in foodom. I’ve had good mom and pop pizza but if you need a good pizza under $10 in less than 30 minutes Domino’s is never a bad idea.
I’ve heard people on podcasts rip apart Domino’s claiming it was literally inedible and that’s not a rare comparison you see online.
Those square pre-sliced plastic-wrapped slabs of “American cheese”. (Not the ones with individually wrapped slices, I’m not a total barbarian.)
I like good-quality artisanal cheeses too, maybe even more, but that Kraft Deli Deluxe White American is callin’ my name.
So is the Campbell’s Vegetable Beef Soup, even though I can and do make better soups from scratch.
Pickle brine. Sipped from a little glass. Even the neon green stuff from those jars of brand-name kosher dill pickles, although here again, I can and do make superior dill pickles from scratch.
She could be a little cheesy or kinda saucy as well.
Lately my wine selections might draw some laughter and pointing of fingers. For awhile, I was big into this stuff:
They made a neutral grape wine and flavored it with cinnamon…kinda like Fireball without the major punch in the brain. It was pretty inexpensive, too…$8 or $9 for a liter. But now you can’t find it.
They made agave wine, then made it into Margarita Wine Cocktails. Again, you get the taste without the jolt. And cheap? 1.5 liter for $9.
While I’m consuming on the cheap, in the canned section I loved those Dinty Moore scalloped potatoes with ham. Also, Campbell’s Split Pea with ham soup.
I think little kids are the only ones supposed to like McDonalds cheeseburgers, but they really hit the spot for me. I rarely eat red meat, but the dash of beef nestled inside that bun, cheese, ketchup, mustard, pickles and diced onions are perfect to me!
I’ll go along with Taco Bell too. The wife and I both think they’re the best Mexican-food place in Hawaii. (No Chipotle here, and I’ve never tried them anywhere.)
I’m sorry to tell you this, but you must be banished. Go. Go now. In shame.
(I may have to join you, though, because while I like bacon, I also like … Bugles.)
Decades ago watching the midnight Creature Feature, we would make a pizza from a box mix, the kid with a little can of parmesan cheese to sprinkle on. (it’s in a packet now)… It was basically a baked crust with bland tomato sauce and that pinch of cheese dusting, but it was fun to make, for a couple of 12 year olds. …or a cheapie no-name frozen pizza if my mother remembered to buy one. … so frozen pizzas have gotten better in the last 60 years, but sometimes a cheap, no-name barely edible pizza is the only thing that will do when watching ‘4-D Man’ on Svengoolie. A small, dim taste of the past, but it’s something.
Where I live, some vegetables are indeed waxed somewhere in the process. I mostly see this with parsnips and rutabagas; this is done so they don’t dry out before they otherwise spoil.
I rewatch French Kiss periodically, a romcom with Kevin Kline and Meg Ryan that’s generally regarded as sugar-water romcom tripe by a lot of reviewers. I guess it just hits a nice spot for me and I like it.
If you’ve never had it, don’t let the name fool you. There are no chilis of any kind in it. What it is, is a zippier, zestier kind of ketchup; and I can attest that it makes a great chip dip all by itself.
