Caviar. Stop lying it’s gross.
Kalles Kaviar goes on everything.
Best breakfast too
I eat just about anything that comes out of fish. I think it’s fine. Same with salmon roe and stuff. Cod sperm is the one I don’t care for (at least raw), but that’s a texture thing.
Word
A perk of being of Iranian origin is having tasted actual Persian caviar from Caspian sturgeons. And it’s unfortunately very delicious.
Oh so maybe I’ve just had shitty caviar? My dad was an ambassador and we were always served it when we ate together. The one I remember most vividly was my first and it was at a state dinner in Mongolia, perhaps it’s different there. I usually just declined where appropriate after that.
I don’t even hate it it’s just like little grainy blobs and it’s ok so I just have a small amount to be polite.
I would like to try some before I can say it’s overrated. But seing the price, it’s probably overrated af.
You can get some pretty cheap, and that’s probably what the poster had. From what I’ve heard, when it’s good it’s really good. The cheap stuff though is pretty plain. More of a texture than flavor. It’s just little sacks of water basically. The more expensive stuff is more salty with fishy flavors, from what I’ve heard.
Starbucks
Oh you don’t like coffee milkshakes?
Sadly the best chain coffee and yall can fight me on that. The rest is actual trash.
Alcohol.
If they discovered it today it would deffo be unlawful
There is so much good alcohol though! If all you’re used to is shit lager and bourbon/tequila shots then I definitely understand this take. Give me some good micro-brewed beer, wine from the cellar door, single malt scotch, or well made cocktail and I’m a happy man!
You just want the effect, without too much bad taste.
I’m saying this as a now sober person, after having tasted the best wines in France for a long time (add in konjak, armagnac, Czech beer, pears, and so on) paired with the finest plates. It’s for the effect.
Mushy peas. I’m from northern England and therefore should genetically love it, but I just don’t. Maybe it’s because I never went to watch football and rugby games in the rain and cold.
Caviar. Salty raw fish eggs. I think the rich started this rumour that it was an excellent gourmet item just so they could secretly laugh at the poors when they spent a bunch of their hard earned money on fish eggs, just to appear “Classy”.
Gnocchi. Looks like larva grubs, thick enough that you can taste the blandness even through the sauce they come in.
You have had some sad ass gnocchi my friend.
Haha you’re probably right. I have only ever tried Slavic interpretations of what gnocchi is supposed to be. Open to having my mind changed though.
it’s worth trying Italian gnocchi. they are bland by themselves like most pasta, but they’re supposed to have a pleasant springy yet yielding texture that complements the sauce
i always say restaurants overcook gnocchi in the united states and my wife says i just don’t like properly cooked authentic Italian food. but i think their main customer base are people from the Midwest who overcook their pasta. anytime a read about good gnocchi it’s supposed to have a bit of chew to it, but at restaurants it’s always soft and mushy.
unrelated though: if you haven’t fried gnocchi you really owe it to yourself. it gets a delightful crispy on the outside, doughy on the inside texture. best served with a very creamy sauce. boiled gnocchi i usually do basil pesto, but fried gnocci is going to at least have some cheese on it
As far as I know, gnocchi tells you when it’s done, so you are probably right and they just simplify the process so they don’t have to have someone scoping it out.
You can get cheese filled gnocchi, I start them in a pan with oil the soften them, when that is almost browned add a knob of butter and diced garlic, then take them out before the garlic burns. Season with coarse black pepper.
Eating them as soggy pasta would indeed be grub like but this way they are crisp and garlicky.
Word, pan fried gnocchi is so much better than boiled gnocchi
Kale…
Shellfish. The smell alone often makes me wretch.
Sea-bugs are awesome. Can I have yours?
My wife already has dibs on all my shellfish. Pickles too. Sorry.
Yeah
Cilantro, it ruins everything people decide to put it in.
Not everyone tastes soap, some people genuinely enjoy it
I don’t think cilantro tastes like soap, but I still don’t like it. My wife says cilantro tastes kinda like soap and does like it.
I take back everything I said. your wife has convinced me eugenics is wrong, but I refuse to live in a world with you. I challenge you to a duel to the death.
I can sort of taste the soapiness that those people dislike, and yet I still fuckin love cilantro.
That’s because you’re genetically inferior and should be exterminated.
I don’t propose active violence just putting cilantro in everything. Including drinking water🤤
i’ve never been impressed by lobster and folks i’ve eaten it with always lose their minds. the best lobster dish i’ve ever had was mac & cheese, and even that got blown out of the water when i tried it with crawfish instead.
Matcha
I hope the fucking tend ends because I can’t get any proper matcha in Japan.
Even better is when you do tea ceremony and they make the extra thick koicha. Basically a green tea slurry that is so thick it won’t even pour.
Even people who had been studying tea ceremony for years found it hard to choke that stuff down.
Avocados in/on anything, except maybe guacamole.Tasteless yet slightly off, melty mush. There was a popular tweet suggesting it tastes like clean penis, I agree (and like them even less), but it’s more the texture that doesn’t do it for me I guess. And don’t get me started on the ethics of them. So I’m happy to boycott, except for the very occasional guacamole default side.
The variety of avocados sold in stores is like the worst one because all the tasty ones just don’t work on store shelves.
Then I guess I never had a tasty one - like many other people’s mentions here haha
by itself it’s just nothing, I agree, but somehow mixing it with onion, mayo, and salt & pepper makes it delicious beyond what is added by the other ingredients
Shrimp. I’ve had so many different kinds of shrimp, and they all feel disgusting in my mouth. I can’t handle it. I’m almost 40 and at this point I’ve written off shrimp entirely.
Can I have yours?
I would eat shrimps. If I could.
Not disgusting to me but barely having any taste. Totally not worth wrestling with the shells.
Motherfucking cantaloupe. I’m mildly allergic to all melons, but I only avoid cantaloupe. Stupid orange rectangles that infest every fruit salad. And the name itself sounds like something inquisitors would yell as they dragged you out of you hovel for knowing too much about herbs.
Why do people keep growing those awful, inflamed-testicle-looking pieces of shit? Even taking the people that punch holes in the side and fuck them into account, I can’t imagine the demand is that high.
I love canteloupe! The smell, the colour, the texture, the taste… it’s all good to me

That’s fair. I don’t understand it but it’s fair.
I feel this way about 98% of canteloupes. Canteloupe can be very tasty if it is perfectly ripe and grown in good conditions. Not worth the risk though. Much better with prosciutto, too
Reminded me of This. I fully agree with you and the video.
In Australia they are called Rockmelon, because, you know… Also they can be very bland or delicious, especially if you get one from a small fruit & veg shop rather than supermarket where they are picking shit way too early so it lasts longer on the shelf.
Yeah it’s entirely possible I’ve only had the weird soviet-style grocery ones that are like cutting through a block of ice and only have ballistic uses.
caviar/oyster
Oysters are wonderful tho, need some pepper and vinegar to make em shine though.
seems like all the effort goes to masking the raw fish/salt water taste with various forms of sauce
You mean various forms of fish snot? Like who was the first person to put that in their mouth and why did it seem like a good idea?
I dont like most seafood, I’ll eat fish right out of the water, but that’s pretty much it. BUT even if I LOVED it oysters would still be gross.
