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.
The bakers were so preoccupied with whether or not they could, they didn’t stop to think if they should.
Thank you for experiencing this so the rest of us don’t have to.
That’s the greatest thing I’ve ever heard that I absolutely wouldn’t try.
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.
I’m down with carbon, oxygen, phosphorous, and all these other nice elements, but you mix them together in just the right way and you get my ex girlfriend.
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.
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
Toothpaste Sandwich
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?”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!
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.
“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.
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!
Potatoes and hamburger gravy, yep that’s a thing
Really unpopular opinion, peanut butter and jelly. I do not like them together nor do I even like peanut butter with added sugar.
Yeah peanut butter is best as a savory salty dish
potato salad is fucked up. How could you possibly take eggs and potatoes and think pickles is what you need to tie it all together?
They are! Without pickles a potato salad tastes bland but a pivkle or few gives it a sour third note and it is amazing!
It’s quite possibly the WASPiest food in existence. A dish devised to showcase the wonders of
in all its grandeur.
Cottage cheese and fruit. I just can’t do the cottage cheese saltiness and texture with the sugary flavor and chunkiness of pineapple.
I feel like I’m in the minority on this one, but I don’t like fruit and yogurt together. Individually, they’re great.
Fucking same. Gives me the same vibe as OJ with pulp, ugh
I don’t do turkey and cranberry sauce, porkchop with applesauce, paté with jam/chutneys… something about meat and fruit sauce. Well but I don’t like chicken and waffles either. Oh, and bacon donuts!
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.
A lot of things on shittyfoodporn. For instance, pb&j devilled eggs
Why, and I say this with as much emphasis as possible, the. FUCK… would anyone do that!?
