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.
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.
Potatoes and hamburger gravy, yep that’s a thing
meatloaf, mashed potatoes, and gravy but with fewer steps?
Chocolate and yoghurt. Chocolate flavoured yoghurt taste gross.
I once found a Cafe Latte flavoured yoghurt. I thought it would be amazing. Tasted it and immediately regretted it. It tasted just absolutely awful, I can’t even describe it.
Yeah that sounds like sour coffee
Really unpopular opinion, peanut butter and jelly. I do not like them together nor do I even like peanut butter with added sugar.
I like peanut butter with sugar, but it’s candy in my mind. Peanut butter and jelly sandwich is just a dessert sandwich.
It’s considered healthy here
Yeah peanut butter is best as a savory salty dish
Yeah, the texture makes me want to vomit. Something like trail mix with peanuts + raisins or dried cranberries or something are fine for me, though.
I hate all peanut products. I’m not allergic, either. Whenever my wife has peanut butter, I stay in another room and open the window. For some reason it’s absolutely revolting.
That weird jell-o gelatin / cool whip combo they serve at cafeterias.
Anything “salad” where the salad includes tuna, mayo, or egg. I can’t handle it. I don’t know why. Egg salad. Tuna salad. 🤢
I like salad. I like eggs. I like tuna somewhat. I like mayo somewhat. But any of those weird combinations make me sick.
I used to be like that except hating mayo in general. Japanese Kewpie changed that for me, but egg salad is still not my favorite and I’ll never purposefully order it.
Mostly not picky anymore but oh how I hate raisins or grapes in curry or any savory dish. Yuck, yuck, yuck. Really picky about fruit in anything, apple in mulligatawny and in chicken salad eew.
But the Mexican fruit salad that has mango, pineapple, jicama, orange and ONION and crumbled cheese? I love it and nobody else in my household does.
Wait til you hear about the pineapple and cheese dish that is soooo delish
I’m your evil twin in regard to raisins. I like them in savory dishes and salads, but can’t stand them in desserts and baked goods.
That’s how I feel about peanuts. Boiled peanuts, peanut noodle, Kung Pao, all good. Peanut butter cookies? Eeeeew.
I once tried sardine ice cream. I love sardines and I love ice cream. The only place I want them to mix is AFTER they are in my stomach.
Wtf that sounds awful. You sure nobody was playing a joke on you?
No joke.
Ow shit no, I can smell it from here. Ugh, I’m so sorry
I feel like I’m in the minority on this one, but I don’t like fruit and yogurt together. Individually, they’re great.
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.
You’ll pry my Caesar salad from my cold dead hands! My Kartoffelsalat is similarly cherished. You can take the miracle whip salads.
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.
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?
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.
Loaded potatoes. Most times they just look like shit.
MAYONAISE
