Whats the one food that you just can't understand why people don't like it

Seems like it's more of a texture thing?

I will say that if you don't like seafood, chances are you have developed a dislike of it due to living in a region where it's not always guaranteed to be fresh or handled properly...

I'm not referring to those who are truly allergic or have other health or ethical reasons not to eat it.

But if you've had even just one encounter with seafood that's past its prime early in life, it can ruin the thought of trying it again.

Overcooked or undercooked fish, rubbery or overcooked calamari, shellfish that's been left sitting too long or hasn't been well cleaned, super-annuated sashimi, the unmistakable crunch of grit in your vongole alla crema or whiff of low tide in your crevettes étoufées, that can put you off forever.

Do yourself a big favour and go spend a little money to go to a proper seafood place recommended by people you know and trust (cross-reference with the reviews in the local papers). Even if you live in the middle of nowhere, far from any body of water likely to sustain aquatic life, you can get freshly prepared and well-kept seafood for the right price. (It's easier but not necessarily cheaper living on the coast)

A proper rye bread.

Gotta agree with Crunkatog on the seafood. It is hard to get fresh fish in lots of places and there is the problem. Or had some variety of nasty fish.

There are people that don't like rye bread, Daiena? WTF?

There's people that rob old ladies for a marble rye.

I don't really know anything about Japanese snacks, but oh my god, strawberry Pocky. I could eat an infinite amount of those things.

It's easy to see why someone might not like certain weeb snacks (wasabi, fish flavours, saltiness, etc). For the same reasons people might not like cheesy or chili-coated snacks or chicharrons or wine gums or Atomic Warheads.

Although the Japanese win the prize for classy (overdone!) presentation with their individually-wrapped sembei placed in molded containers, sealed in shrink wrap, nestled alongside silica gel desiccant sachets, and boxed up like a fancy shaving kit. OBviously intended to preserve the crispness for export and storage, but also an impressive amount of delayed gratification required to excavate through all the packaging and unwrap your golden reward.

Brussels sprouts. It's my favorite food (or yams cant decide) or cabbage it is basically gigantic Brussels sprouts...


Look I never eat anything with chemical names so about 90% OF FOODS you guys eat I never even tried. My parents were hippies and said never eat anything in packages or formerly frozen...obviously everything in packages has chems to keep preserved. So real earth foods is all I eat.


I dont eat bread, soda, chips, fast food, preservers juices, etc. Basically if it has a package I dont eat it unless package of its own. Like an orange or nut you can break through its natural package for goodness.

My meal today
- Ninja juice breakfast at 6 - 1/2 stock romaine lettuce, 1 avocado, 4 tbsp lemon juice, 1/2 cup spinach so ice blended.

about 10 I ate a bag of nuts - macadamia, walnuts, and almonds

about lunch I had a salad with tons of stuff on it like 3 typos of lettuce, squashes, onions etc

About 2 I had another bag of nuts

Dinner is coming up and I'm making cauliflower pizza

I dont eat meat either but I'll make one with meat for kids. The meat I buy is super pure tho grain fed never frozen, local farmer, like a chicken is $25 and beef is $17 a pound. I have a whole deep freeze of fish because my extended family loves to fish. Wallye, crappie etc. But I dont eat it unless desperate...again frozen problem

The only time I'll eat fish is right after I fillet it while his eyes are still moving from live well... so like an hour old.

Dear god, I forgot about Atomic Warheads.

The memories of my old classmates doing stupid things with them are all flowing back.

Whenever visitors come to my house and see these they always ask why you have such a mundane snack. I don't understand why they dislike them.

There was a fizzy variety for a while in the drugstores. Those were honestly the best, but if you were dumb enough to drink soda with Warheads in your mouth, you deserved the foaming caustic overflow that resulted. It would come out your nostrils, and if it could, would probably also pour out of your ears.
