I was just in the office kitchen making myself a cup of coffee and there was a holiday basket in there with some gourmet popcorn opened. I took a hand full of some orange colored popcorn which I assumed was cheddar, well I was wrong, it was Sriracha Lime popcorn. Obviously the flavor dynamic was significantly different than the cheddar I was expecting so I had to try another sample. I did, and now I just can’t decide if I really, really like this or if I hate it. lol
Another food like this for me is “country gravy”, you know the sausage grease, flour and milk version. I eat it, I think I enjoy it, it grosses me the hell out. I can’t decide if I like this stuff or hate it.
How about you? What are some of your love/hate foods?
I can’t think of any food I don’t like except Green Papya Salad. Once was quite enough, thank you. I ^think^ I won’t like Lutefisk after all I’ve heard about it, and probably durian since I have a very keen sense of smell. But I usually like to at least taste a small bite of something before I BFL.
Fried chicken. Seems like a good idea for the first few bites, then quickly turns to regrettable, so I pick off the skin from there. Fried fish, too. Probably most things battered or coated and fried. I can still eat plenty of french fries in one sitting though, somehow the oiliness of french fries never bothers me.
Just to be clear, Bob – is this going to be another thread about what foods people hate vs. what foods people like… or are you hoping they’ll answer your actual question about love/hate relationships with particular foods?
The latter, it was suppose to be foods that you love/hate.
As I was trying to use my example, I tasted that popcorn and was like wow, this is an interesting and new taste, then by the time I finished my second handful, I was like, “wow this is pretty disgusting”.
Ha! That’s a good one, I haven’t had boxed mac-n-cheese in I don’t know how long. There are just so many different great cheese’s and cheese combinations, I could never just make a boxed mac-n-cheese. I
