Cheerios and Bugles (each separately). Nothing in either item should make them smell like death. But every flavor of either I’ve encountered always has. They’re not even the same kind of grain.
I’ll eat most ingredients in a wide variety of contexts. It’s pretty rare that I’ll find something that I don’t like, and can’t eventually find a way to like.
I’m not expecting them to be amazing, but them being substantially worse than bland and boring is still a surprise.
I love chocolate and licorice but there’s those licorice balls with chocolate coating which I just find to be an unpleasant and weird combination.
MAYONAISE
Loaded potatoes. Most times they just look like shit.
Growing up my mother would occasionally make a dish my father enjoyed that she called “Depression Dinner”. It was mashed potatoes covered in fried ground beef with beef gravy poured on top of it.
I like mashed potatoes. I like using ground beef in a variety of dishes. And who can say anything bad about gravy? But mix those three together — ugh, no thanks. It was like baby food for adults. There was a reason why my brother and I took to calling it Depressing Dinner growing up.
Doesn’t sound that far from Shepard’s Pie though, a tasty dish beloved by zillions.
Oh certainly changing the presentation, texture, and separation of the ingredients can make a big difference in a dish! I’d say the difference between “depression dinner” and Shepard’s pie is like the difference between cake batter and cake — they’re both made up of the exact same stuff, but one is a gloopy mess you’d probably not want to eat a whole bowl of, and the other is delicious cake you’ll want a second serving of.
I hear ya, altho at the same time your DD as is doesn’t sound that bad to me.
Of course, I’d want to drain the hell out of that ground beef and cook it with some chili mix, too. Without some simple steps like that I could indeed see how it might taste more like oily Gerbers.
To be clear — Mom’s “Depression Dinner” was in fact just greasy fried ground beef poured over mashed potatoes. No spices. I don’t even think she used any salt or pepper. Oily Gerbers would be a perfectly apt description!
Yeah, the mistake here is in putting the beef and gravy on top resulting in mush. Putting the potatoes on top and allowing them to crisp would really change the flavor and texture.
Potatoes and hamburger gravy, yep that’s a thing
meatloaf, mashed potatoes, and gravy but with fewer steps?
Similar to beef mince, onions, gravy and mash for me. My da loves it but I found the combo depressing despite the fact I used to eat mash out of the pot with a spoon. And yes I’m Irish.
This is what I ate after I could finally graduate from soup after having my wisdom teeth removed
Cottage cheese and fruit. I just can’t do the cottage cheese saltiness and texture with the sugary flavor and chunkiness of pineapple.
Have you tried it with peaches or pears instead of pineapple? Fruit halves work better than small pieces IMO.
It’s definitely very texturally special, so I don’t blame people for not liking it, lol.
How bout something like onion jam and cheese?
Bet you don’t like Hawaiian pizza then.
Pineapple rings on ham is, however, another story!
A number of years ago when cupcake shops were opening everywhere, there was this one called Mancakes that did “manly” cupcakes (think bacon and alcohol). I finally broke down one day and decided to try one. I went with the “Buffalo wings” cupcake which turned out to be what I guess was Frank’s Red Hot flavoured cake, topped with icing and some sort of crispy sprinkles (chicken skin?), and stuffed with (to my gagging surprise) blue cheese icing.
I love hot wings, I love blue cheese dip, and cupcakes are just fine.
But a buffalo wing cupcake has to be the nastiest concoction to be called a cupcake that I’ve ever tasted.
Thank you for experiencing this so the rest of us don’t have to.
Do want.
Edit: but it needs some form of hot pepper.
That’s the greatest thing I’ve ever heard that I absolutely wouldn’t try.

Starts off in a universe completely separate from my own, and keeps veering further.
A Canadian Ceasar cocktail.
Do i like clams? Yes.
Tomato ? Yes.
Fried pickles/onion rings/prawns/burger/etc? Yes.
Vodka? Yes.
All together? …I… Where are you buying Caesars that you’re getting them with fried pickles/onion rings/etc?
Or am I misunderstanding and you meant that those are on the side?
A lot of places do some really crazy garnishes, rather than the traditional celery. I don’t like clams or tomato juice, but I have seen a Caesar with a burger slider on a skewer.
I got one when i visited Vancouver at a place called Score on Davie, the ‘toppings’ were great but i wasnt ready for the clamato cocktail.
A lot of what Midwesterners consider “salad”.
I think they got it from us Germans. Basically throw whatever into a bowl with Mayonnaise, boom, salad.
And then there’s Kabelsalat, but it usually has no Mayo. ;) Kabelsalat wiki (in German)
You’ll pry my Caesar salad from my cold dead hands! My Kartoffelsalat is similarly cherished. You can take the miracle whip salads.
That weird jell-o gelatin / cool whip combo they serve at cafeterias.
But everything’s better with cool hwip.
cool what?
Mint chocolate. Hate that stuff, but I don’t mind mint or chocolate.
Non native english speaker here, not trying to have an argument but to learn.
Is it correct to use “whose” in this context?I kinda thought “whose” was meant to refer to a person and not an object, but really I don’t know.
Though I’d use something like “of which” or whatever else instead.(Or just do what I do and rephrase it so you don’t need to bother with this syntax to begin with.)
“What is a dish where each individual component you like, but when combined together become a dish you think is nasty?”I’m not a native English speaker either but I’ve spoken English from a young age. “Whose” is used to denote belonging, not necessarily personhood, which can be confusing as “who” does denote personhood. There isn’t really a “whose” equivalent for objects so it’s used for any noun which another noun belongs to.
Yeah, you shouldn’t use who’s for objects, as in the one “who is” doing something; that should be “that’s” or "which is. But for possession like this case “that’s” doesn’t work at all. “Of which” or “for which” might work in this sentence, but I don’t think any native speaker would be confused by whose here
“Whose” should probably be “thats”. But a native English speaker will occasionally personify things and so the meaning would be the same, but you are correct.
“Thats” is dialectal.
In this context, “whose” works fine, on the basis that almost no other options work at all outside of completely rewriting the question.
I personally would just switch it out for “with” instead; it does slightly reframe the phrase but doesn’t change the question itself.
outside of completely rewriting the question.
Doesn’t require much rewriting tbh
“the component parts of which”
that’s fair!
Italian Poutine.
Actual poutine is great.
Spaghetti sauce is great.
But a Poutine where you replace the gravy with spaghetti sauce, no.I had to look up what poutine was, and I can assure you that we don’t have anything like that in Italy
First generation montrealer here of Italian descent: that sauce is a bastardized Greek meat sauce, there is nothing remotely spaghetti or Italian about it.
I actually love Italian poutine for what it is, but I would never put that sauce on spaghetti or call a sauce that routinely contains cinnamon and oregano an Italian sauce.
Bro. Bro.
Belle province, all dressed steamies and an “Italian” Poutine. My god.
Sure as fuck ain’t Italian or a good meat sauce but as a combo that shit slaps.
Fuck yes! Michigan hotdogs covered in chopped onions and cayenne too.
Agreed, my comment would be said with the words “Italian” and “spaghetti” in airquotes.
Never seen one with cinnamon, then again I just don’t order those.
I’ll have to check with my gf who does.Oh so it’s Cincinnati spaghetti chili?
Haha from what I’ve heard it’s exactly that.
I don’t eat meat anymore but I’m from Cincy and do occasionally crave a 5 way, hell even a 4 or 3 way (yes seriously that’s what our iconic company for this dish calls its dishes, skyline knows what they’re doing). My wife would fucking love this as a poutine as it sounds like it’s just a 3 way with fries instead of spaghetti.
Usually it’s fries, curds, fries, curds, sauce. Cheapo places won’t double up the curds but the good places definitely do. If that’s what you have in mind you guys should roll by Montreal.
eww what, is that an actual thing?!
Unpopular opinion? Strawberries with whipped cream make want to puke.
There’s a trick. Don’t use sweetened whip cream, use heavy whipping cream and sprinkle the strawberries with sugar (Just a bit). Strawberries are best sweetened only slightly to me and the savory flavor of the cream compliments the tartness of the strawberries.
Edit: Thanks for the unlocked memory, it’s probably been decades.
whipped cream? we always used sour cream and sugar. sounds fucked but it goes hard. maybe cultural difference
You would be the expert.
I’ve never heard of that but it sounds great. Especially if it was buttermilk sour cream. Mmmm.
Maybe there’s something like that going on. There’s nothing about the aspect of it that throws me off, I always thought it looks appealing, but the time I tried it didn’t go so well.
Thai food.
I love peanuts, and I love pretty much most Asian region dishes that I’ve had access to in the US, but peanuts/peanut flavor in a “meal” is gross to me. Peanuts are a snack/dessert to me so it’s just really odd to have it in a meal.
How do you feel about peanut butter and jelly sandwiches?
That’s like a snack for me, not a meal. It’s so sweet it’s sort of like a dessert.
Not the same person, but I’m fine with a PB sandwich or toast with Jam, but the texture of the two together makes me want to vomit.
