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!
Sounds like you’re not a fan of sweet/salty or savoury combos. How do you feel about pineapple on pizza?
French fries sometimes go in kebabs and stuff around here. When they’re on the side, that is awesome. When they’re just drenched in the sauce so you get a soggy pile of greasy potato, it is disgusting.
Oh, and fruity beers suck: not just “notes of blahblahblah in my hipster IPA” which can be good, but “we literally put fruit juice in this stuff” which… can’t. I like beer, I like fruit. They do not, however, need to mix on my account.
Sorta related: coriander (cilantro) is fine in moderation and I’m a sucker for a baguette. Once had a banh mi that had a fucking bushel of the stuff, tasted like being dragged through miles of dense shrubbery after someone yanked you out of the shower mid-shampooing. Also burning.
I said the same about fruity beers, sours, lambics, (also found white wines too acidic) and now I like them lol. Sometimes taste changes when you get older.

In Greece it is pretty standard to put fries on gyros. That’s part of why I love them. But: having the proper crispy fry is essential, as is eating your gyro freshly made.
Fresh and still crispy, sure. It’s the sogginess that got me.
My local Greek place does this and I always assumed it was an Americanized gyro. They’re super tasty and we love eating there. Interesting to know it’s actually done in Greece too.

There’s a fruit beer sold around here that’s actually quite good, and with a better alcohol kick than most beers. Unlike the ones you mention, it doesn’t use barley at all, and tastes kind of like some lambics I’ve had.
Mint chocolate. Hate that stuff, but I don’t mind mint or chocolate.
Loaded potatoes. Most times they just look like shit.
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.
MAYONAISE
Jambalaya. I love all the individual ingredients, but put together as Jambalaya makes me wanna hurl.
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
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.
Garbage plates, holy crap. For those of you who don’t know, a garbage plate refers to a famous “cuisine” in Upstate New York, comprising of random picnic ingredients thrown together like a salad and is understandably the butt of many jokes because it is to cuisine what the back-scratching-hair-combing-nose-picking-ukulele-tuner is to inventions. On top of that, every restaurant has its own take on it that varies the recipe, so you will never know exactly how it is unless you’ve already touched that particular restaurant. The one time where I’d prefer each set to be sold separately (and batteries to not be included, gawd).

Thanks, Pipey.
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.
A lot of what Midwesterners consider “salad”.
I 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.
Chicken Parmesan for sure. or a chicken sandwich with cheese on it. BLECH!
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.
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?
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.
Bet you don’t like Hawaiian pizza then.
Pineapple rings on ham is, however, another story!
