Not to seem Western-centric, but I lived in China for a time and they have the market cornered on "Foods I don't understand why people like."

I DO understand they have a long history of famines, though, and perhaps eating odd things is rooted in necessity, not desire.

Never was I more grateful to be a vegetarian.

I'll try to limit this to 'new' or recently popular items.

1) Riced cauliflower - I've tried it several times. No - it's not a decent substitute for rice. It's got nothing to offer. When did rice become something to avoid?

2) The brussel sprouts invasion into every menu. They're OK, but 8 halved brussel sprouts that are usually overcooked with some charring on them and some parmesan cheese on top - this is not delicious and not worth a $10 appetizer.

3) Cauliflower 'steak'.

4) Veggie puffs or crisps. They're not THAT much healthier than regular snacks. Just use portion control of regular tasty snacks.

I do like cauliflower-based pizzas though.

I always thought black licorice was flavored with anise, but it turns out there’s more to it (according to Wikipedia).

“Liquorice (British English) or licorice (American English) (/ˈlɪkərɪʃ, -ɪs/ LIK-ər-is(h))[1] is a confection usually flavoured and coloured black with the extract of the roots of the liquorice plant Glycyrrhiza glabra. A wide variety of liquorice sweets are produced around the world. In North America, black liquorice is distinguished from similar confectionery varieties that are not flavoured and coloured black with liquorice extract but commonly manufactured in the form of chewy ropes or tubes. So called "black liquorice" together with anise extract is also a widespread flavour in other forms of confectionery such as jellybeans.”

I used to eat Grape Nuts in the 80’s, right out of the box dry. Just a small handful at a time. I loved how hard, hearty and crunchy they were. Like a small snack. They always gave me an energy boost. Quite yummy like that.

Eating them like cereal in a bowl with milk was too exhausting and the moist texture ruined it. IMO

R78 I always felt a similar way about sugary alcohol drinks like daiquiris or things with crusty sugar on the rim. Alcohol with fermented sugar already in it (like wine) is fine, but cocktails with large amounts of sugar added are a drag. A cocktail shouldn’t be like a dessert. It’s like something made for kids. The sugar rush (and quick comedown) seems to cancel and ruin the “high” of the alcohol. I go right to sleep, messy sleep.

LOL I love Grape Nuts. If you warm it in the microwave and throw two teaspoons of sugar on it, it tastes great. But I completely get why people don't get it and I do feel like an old man eating it.

[quote]I too go ballistic when they add Mayo

You are upset about a sandwich spread? My what fancy establishments you dine at. Next time tell the head waiter you would like to speak with the Chef.

Mayo is just oil, eggs, lemon juice and salt whipped into an emulsion.

R142, Have you ever had Grapenuts Custard/Pudding?

Oh my god. So good. I have not had it in 20 years. I was probably 22/23 and in college.

I looked up a recipe around Christmas. It looked like a pain in the ASS to make.

Oh shit. I DESPISE CAULIFLOWER. And vaginas do make me wretch. Especially when they are all spread open. They look like raw meat.

Not to totally derail this thread. It's such a weird coincidence that Grape Nuts is getting so much attention.

After not eating it for YEARS, a few weeks ago I had a hankering, but could not find them anywhere at my local grocery store. And then on this thread I saw the post of there being a shortage of Grape Nuts cereal.

by Anonymousreply 148January 30, 2021 9:51 PM

R147, no I never heard of that but now I am fascinated! I will need to try Grapenuts Custard. Cauliflower only tastes good in "rice" form. I hate the vegetable itself when it 's in a vegetable mix, boiled, steamed, etc. It ruins almost everything.

Rotisserie Chicken--disgusting. Like chicken slathered with slime. Stick to fried chicken instead, at least it tastes fucking good.

R149- I bought a pizza once because it said "Oprah" recommended it-

It turns out it had the cauliflower crust.

When I really read the label, I said FUCK THAT and hucked it!

Cauliflower SUCKS. And it has that distinct taste and plastic texture. Fuck. That.

I used to get sent to bed early for not eating that shit. And broccoli makes me vomit. Those little spriglly things make me gag.

This thread is giving me flashbacks.

by Anonymousreply 154January 30, 2021 9:57 PM

R 152- It has a wonderful texture and works with creamy desserts. I am now obsessed with finding that ice cream and making that custard.

As far as a bowl of cereal? No. Just No. It is very, very dry, bland, and almost medicinal.

I do like that Kashi Cinnamon Harvest.

LETTUCE--the filler vegetable of all vegeetables. It's like people don't know what to do so they just add lettuce to things. I hate lettuce in cheeseburgers!

Asparagus--it really depends on how it's cooked, it's hit or miss. It also makes sperm tastes terrible.

by Anonymousreply 162January 30, 2021 10:20 PM

Cauliflower has no taste to me so I use it as filler in stir fry, usually diced. I also like it lightly roasted so it is firm with curry powder. I will eat that as a snack.

I always thought I hated BBQ because I grew up in the midwest with that McDonalds notion of what BBQ Sauce is supposed to taste like. It's so gross and disgusting.

I moved to texas, and ... wow. Night and day. Texas BBQ sauce is amazing. Not sweet. And none of that gross chemically fake smoke flavor.

Rudy's BBQ sauce is the best, but Poke-E-Joe's is great too.
