Is there any food you do not like?

I am allergic to mustard oils, so there are a bunch of things, “I don’t like”. Mustard is in a lot of different foods, typically hidden under the generic term slices. I have inadvertantly eaten it enough times, that I can pretty much sense it on my tongue before I swallow things now.

But, it is in some ketchups, nearly all barbecue sauces, lots of different cured meats and sausages, mayonnaise, nearly all salad dressings, baked beans, the list could go on forever. Mustard seems to be every cooks secret ingredient, and they don’t want to tell you it’s in things.

People add mayonnaise to cake mixes. I cook enough to know all you need to do is add extra egg yolks and oil instead.

and just about every ‘chefs” interpretation of Nuevo Cuisine is to add mustard to the ingredients which don’t traditionally have it.

I learned to cook, so I would know which foods were safe. They will add it to Thai foods that never had it.

I made pumpkin pie flavored ice cream once. Man, did that last in the freezer for a LONG time.

I'm not one to offend a host or hostess, But I can't seem to get past "Spanish Rice"

Chili and rice, OK! but ketchup on rice is just not my thing ;-)

May be if there were more garlic in it....;-)

Spanish rice is not supposed to have ketchup, only a drop of tomato for color.
With Kethcup ? yuck

My Mom used to make “spaghetti“ sauce from ketchup, with a very small bit of oregano, and garlic added.

One, of the exes, whose mother was first generation from Italy, made sauce from two large cans of crushed tomatoes with basil, two pound of pork shoulder cut in cubes, and a clove of garlic. She simmered it until the pork turned to rags, and the garlic disappeared, adding cheap red wine to thin it as it thickened. Didn’t brown the pork first to add flavor, no added basil, nothing added. BLAND IS AN UNDERSTATEMENT.

A lot of cooks in the heartland, havent been exposed to the foods brought in by the other immigrants, and still cook basic meat and potatoes, with little variation.

Grapefruit to me, always tastes like it is a poison my body wants to reject.
So much so, than when I was dating, I would ask if she liked grapefruit.
If she did like grapefruit.... well... there wasn't a second date. Something HAS to be incompatible there on a genetic level.

I have never found a good way to prepare Brussel Sprouts. Or pair them with any other sort of food.
I don't know why we eat them. I don't know why we grow them.

Fish Sauce makes me ill. It smells like vomit.

To drink a lambic beer, has to be a cultured taste. To me, it is everything that could go wrong with a beer batch. How does one possibly say there is a good or bad lambic beer if they are all terrible?

So JF, your wife hates grapefruit also?

"So JF, your wife hates grapefruit also?" Yes she does. She hates it with the same passion I do... And her first husband, LOVED grapefruit. You just can't have a match in marriage if one person likes grapefruit and the other does not..

So I just turned to my wife and asked "Do you like grapefruit?" and she said yes she does. Didn't question why I asked her that, at 10:22 at night, while watching the local weather forecast, just said yes.

Whew. I like grapefruit, too!

I eat a grapefruit every morning like most people eat an orange. Except one slice goes to my stumpy tailed cattle dog, who insists a slice.
