Who wants my hushpuppies? Frequently wasted food

Baked Beans
Fried Tomato
Fried Mushrooms

Why aren’t fried tomatoes included in American breakfasts? They are wonderful! I can do without the cold toast, the beans, the kippers(!), and most of the rest of a Traditional English Fry-Up, but fired tomatoes are heaven!

I thought fried tomatoes were big in America too–mainly because of the film ‘Fried Green Tomatoes…’. Hmmm.

Us Amurcans, living in the west, don eat no hillbilly grub like grits and chitlins.

Give us some good bruschetta, museli or sushi.

Now that is sum good 'murcan foods!!

That film was the first time many Americans ever even heard of the concept of fried tomatoes, green or otherwise.

I could really go for a full English Breakfast (beans included) right about now.

Myself included among Americans who hadn’t heard of fried tomatoes, by the way.

You’d possibly want me at your Unwanted Food Féte, as most of the stuff I don’t like is really bland stuff that nearly everybody else likes, and lots of the stuff I can’t get enough of, like burger pickles and olives, other people hate.
My unwanted foods include:

[ul]The flat egg and baked beans that come with Full English Breakfasts (I don’t like egg on its own as opposed to as an ingredient, ever)

[li]Mashed potato[/li]
[li]Bananas (I hate the mushy texture of these and the above)[/li]
[li]Peanuts, other Groundnuts and Peanut Butter (leave a horrible weird aftertaste in my mouth. I still remember the first and only time I ate a Snickers bar, it took about 5 glasses of water to get rid of the peanut-aftereffect. Likewise when I ordered chicken satay in Halls thinking “Mmm… curry” without knowing exactly what satay meant!)[/li]
[li]Glacé cherries (proper cherries are so nice but I hate these awful things)[/li][/ul]

and probably the weirdest one, that came up today:
[ul]The bases of cheesecakes. I eat the yummy cheesecake but leave the base on the plate. Again, it’s more of a texture thing–it’s like eating soggy chipboard, but it’s got a slightly dodgy, un-cheesecake-or-fruit-like taste too (unlike chipboard, presumably)

[/ul]

Man, I love cake sludge! It’s the soggy bottom where the cake meets the plate. Usually the frosting is too sweet and the cake is too dry; the cake sludge handles those two situations beautifully. Too bad I can only swipe my finger on the cake sludge when I’ve got cake at home in private.
