Italian Poutine.
Actual poutine is great.
Spaghetti sauce is great.
But a Poutine where you replace the gravywith spaghetti sauce, no.eww what, is that an actual thing?!
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.
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.
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.
I had to look up what poutine was, and I can assure you that we don’t have anything like that in Italy
Mint chocolate. Hate that stuff, but I don’t mind mint or chocolate.
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?
It’s quite possibly the WASPiest food in existence. A dish devised to showcase the wonders of
in all its grandeur.They are! Without pickles a potato salad tastes bland but a pivkle or few gives it a sour third note and it is amazing!
Let me confess that I didn’t actually eat this, so maybe it actually whipped ass. Once a friend ran for donuts and I asked them to pick something up for me. They came back with a donut with maple icing and bacon bits sprinkled on top.
The sight and smell were so upsetting to me that I shoved it in my purse when no one was looking and never got around to trying it.
Maple doughnuts with bacon bits are FANTASTIC! I was leery at first, but they truly rock.
I might just have a weird aversion to meat and sweets, because I also mentioned thinking jelly on a sausage biscuit was gross once, and no one agreed.
I hate oranges (or orange type fruits) in cake or anything else basically. It just feels wrong somehow.
I think someone disagreed with you lol (not myself) but I don’t mind citrus in some stuff like cheesecake. I do get that it’s a strange pairing but is quite tangy which I think people like. Probably makes them eat more of it.
I don’t mind the juice but more the whole pieces inside of cake or müsli, I find it’s a weird feeling even if I like them individually. Juice or cest is great everywhere.
Me too, or chocolate oranges
Cottage cheese and fruit. I just can’t do the cottage cheese saltiness and texture with the sugary flavor and chunkiness of pineapple.
How bout something like onion jam and cheese?
Bet you don’t like Hawaiian pizza then.
Pineapple rings on ham is, however, another story!
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.
My mother’s coworker’s child made a bacon bundt cake, and specifically sent a piece for her.
I agreed to eat it with my mother out of solidarity.
Honestly, she’s like, 9 or something, and did a great job of it. Kinda had a bacon pancake going, didn’t have many tunnels or anything. Would be a great dessert for a barbecue, that kinda thing.
But no one in my immediate family is that into bacon, let alone being combined with sweets.
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.
Oh I feel you! I ate spaghetti Bolognese ice cream a couple of years ago and I couldn’t stand it. Ice cream is great and Bolognese is great but not mixed together.
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

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.
The bakers were so preoccupied with whether or not they could, they didn’t stop to think if they should.
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.
That weird jell-o gelatin / cool whip combo they serve at cafeterias.
But everything’s better with cool hwip.
cool what?
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
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
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.
Cookout pasta salad. I like pasta, mayo, corn, tomatoes, cucumber, olives, onions, whatever else goes in normally, but pasta salad is just so disappointing.
I am the opposite about a Reuben- I’m not especially a fan of pastrami, sauerkraut, Swiss cheese, or thousand island dressing, but fuck if it’s not incredible together.
Pasta salad and mayo just sounds wrong to me. I generally use a red wine vinaigrette, it holds up better at a barbecue.
I like your idea of reversing the question. On their own I’m not big on sour cream or mayonnaise, but either of them mixed together with the right seasonings or sometimes even together with some seasoning and I can’t get enough. Mayo is nasty, but a garlic aioli? Fricken great. Plain sour cream? A tad on a baked potato is fine, but a chipotle lime crema? I might lick that up off the floor…
I too have an oddly specific one of these, which is tartare sauce.
I actively dislike all three of mayonnaise, gherkins, and capers. Mix 'em together though? Brilliant.
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.
whipped cream? we always used sour cream and sugar. sounds fucked but it goes hard. maybe cultural difference
You would be the expert.
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.
