What Do You Like That You're Not Supposed To?

You’re not. I like it too. Great on all kinds of sandwiches, and it works well as a standalone dip for cold veggies (carrot sticks, celery sticks, etc.).

I like canned veggies better than frozen. Peas, corn, beans, string beans.

I like fresh produce just fine, but some of my favorite recipes call for canned.

I grew up in a mixed household, so I was exposed to both the good and bad of mayo and Miracle Whip. You are totally correct - there are some things that just call for a tangier spread than mayo. MW fits the bill quite nicely.

I’ll jump in on the grapefruit bandwagon. I have one everyday for lunch, and love to mix grapefruit juice with tequila. Love the bitterness!

But I actually jumped in to say vanilla sandwich cookies. Like Oreos, but yellow cookies with the cream between. They make a Golden Oreos version, but for me, the cheaper, the better they are. Like gas station, no name version. I can polish off a pack on the drive to work.

I like the Impossible burger at Burger King even though it’s no healthier than eating a real Whopper.

BTW, I thought that the Impossible Sausage at Dunkin Donuts sucked ass, but my Muslim friend exclaimed that it was great and no wonder everyone raved about pork! :yum:

I like the MGM ‘Our Gang’ shorts.

I like french freedom fries.

I remember that show!

Mine is plain black freshly-brewed decaf coffee - no sugar cream frappe latte tall short cinnamon stuff needed.

My goodness, there’s a lotta hate for prewrapped Kraft singles.

I have a batch in the fridge. Ostensibly, it’s because that makes the best grilled cheese on white bread, but I’ll confess to occasionally just … eating a slice.

I make a cheat chicken corn chowder out of a can of creamed corn, shredded leftover chicken, onion, garlic, dab of chicken demiglace/you can use the bouillion cube or goo of your choice and half and half. I chuck a tablespoon of butter in the bottom of my sauce pan, sautee up finely minced garlic and shredded onion [probably equal amount of onion to the chicken shreds and maybe a teaspoon of garlic] until they are translucent, dump in the chicken and can of corn and stir around til hot and add a scant teaspoon of glace stir until dissolved in thoroughly, then dump in a cup or so of half and half and stir until warmed through. Adjust salt and pepper [i don’t season my demiglaces] and eat. Takes maybe 15 minutes at best.

Heck Yea! When my wife and I go out with a couple, we frequently end our nights with a nightcap. Which pretty much means “the ladies will order wine, and the guys will order White Russians.” It’s a pretty nice tradition that we fell into. I don’t know that I could/would drink them throughout an evening, but I enjoy 2 or 3 to close out a night!

From time to time I get a strong urge for Boars Head Olive Loaf and I enjoy it on white bread with American or cheddar cheese and yellow mustard.

Ditto. I love Jack-in-the-Box tacos. They don’t have them up here in New England (although Burger King sells a knock-off version), so I always make a point a scarfing down a few when I visit family in Texas.

My contribution: beans in chili. My mom always apologizes that her chili recipe includes beans (because real Texas chili isn’t supposed to include beans). So sue me. Authentic Texas chili or no, my mom’s chili is the best.

I consider myself kind of a food guy but, when it comes to coffee, I’m not too discriminating. As a matter of fact, I haven’t had a cup of hot brewed coffee in over three months. I drink exclusively instant at home, though I do prefer Nescafe Classico among instants.
Since Covid, the kitchen at work has been closed and our Flavia (single cup brew packs) machine has been off limits. I’ve been buying pretty crummy jars of instant to mix with lukewarm water from the bathroom tap to drink at work. It’s …not good but turns out I’m just in it for the caffeine.

@robby : Wendy’s chili is probably my single favorite item from a nationally advertised fast food chain. Bean & all.

That’s a feature, not a bug.

Yes, this is very contentions, but I put beans in chili too. A couple of different kinds. Canned. As well as pickled jalapenos and tomatoes, onions and celery. I like to add saltines, cheese and sour cream when I dish up a bowl.

That’s a meal. Non-bean chili is a sloppy joe without the bun.

Coworker won a local chili contest. No beans or anything. He brought it in to work for everyone to have a taste. It was at best… meh. Ok as a side dish or topping I guess.

I generally drink tea at work, but am fine with Tasters Choice coffee. I don’t understand the big deal about coffee. Had some friends that we went out to breakfast with and they had to stop and buy their special cup of coffee at a different store and take it in for breakfast. Stop meaning stop car park, get coffee and then travel to where we where going for breakfast.

I craved Subway veggie sandwiches when I was pregnant. I don’t think I’ve eaten one since, though.

I love practically all vegetables. The only ones I don’t like, that come up semi-often, are okra and eggplant. When I was a kid, I was a huge veggie eater, and very much resented the stereotype of the child who hates vegetables. I are everything when I was a kid, except for the aforementioned eggplant, asparagus, and peppers. Since I would eat seconds and thirds of everything else, my mother never pushed those three. I never had okra as a kid. I eat peppers and asparagus now.

We had battles over meat, but never vegetables.

Not a food, but there was a book I was supposed to hate; all the critics hated it, and I want to hate all the right things. It was even endlessly parodied. But I loved it. Tama Janowitz’s Slaves of New York.

Aren’t lima beans and butterbeans the same thing? There seems to be some discussion on this on the internet but, the University of Illinois, among others, seems to say they’re the same thing. Best I could find is that limas are the smaller green ones, while butter beans are the larger yellow versions of the same thing, but that’s not the case when I’ve bought them. I’ve had little “baby limas” around here that were green and regular “lima beans” that were yellowish when big.
