If I ever save anyone’s life and they want to repay me, they can make Alton Brown’s coconut cake. It looks so delicious but it’s too much of an ordeal for me to bother making myself. But it looks so delicious.
I voted ‘Meh’, if only because I make one exception for coconuts. I usually find the stuff disgusting, and I’m especially not fond of the texture, but I love coconut-flavoured popsicles. Delicious, and I don’t have to worry about anyone else taking them; everyone else seems to agree they’re revolting.
Agreed. When I first heard of coconut shrimp (sometime in the 80s) I thought, “No way, no how, will this abomination ever pass my lips.” I figured it for a food fad that would quickly die out once people came to their senses.
Twenty-some years later, and I was still seing it on menus, so I figured maybe there was something there that I was missing out on, and gave it a try.
Abominable abomination; I was getting nauseous after only a few of them. I took them home anyway to feed to the cat, but he took one sniff of them and gave me a “You gotta be fugging kidding me!” look, and left them where they lay.
Furry little bastard gave me dirty looks for a week for that stunt.
Also agreed with the pineapple on pizza thing, but I’ll generally just pick the pieces off and eat a ham-and-cheese pizza.
