Ham is only good in 2 things. Cuban sandwiches and Ham and Beans. But even ham and beans is meh more times than not.

Absolutely agree on turkey.

I haven't had it in so long, I honestly don't think I would eat it again unless I was convinced that something had changed.

I wish I liked it. It looks delicious - but I know I wouldn't. Sour cream's another one that belongs in this thread, for me at least. Idk what's wrong with me hahahah

Oh, I think the Cuban sandwich is very overrated. Well, not even that, it just plain sucks.

Cheese. Especially melted and american cheese.

****ing gross. I don't get it.

jd1020 02-12-2018 11:58 AM

Cheese in general is overrated for me. I like it on certain foods like Italian dishes but on pretty much everything else I can do without. Especially those people that bring cheese platters to parties, **** off...

Now I'm wishing you hadn't made me think of it. Yes, it is delicious. And now I'm craving it.

Left to my own cravings without consequence, I'd be like Homer with the doughnuts in hell.

I serve turkey on Thanksgiving and Prime Rib or, once-in-awhile, a tenderloin of beef on Christmas. Much preferan English-style Christmas dinner with either Yorkshire pudding or giant popovers.

Never do turkey on Christmas. Growing up we had my Nonna's home made raviolis.

American cheese is gross. Especially if it's dyed orange. It tastes like plastic. I don't even think it's real cheese. Tho' the version in the deli seems more like a real cheese, tho' flavorless, than the kind packaged in plastic wrapping.

I've even had GOOD sushi. I was convinced I would like it, and just hadn't had the GOOD sushi. Everyone would always tell me this. 3rd time having good sushi just last year. It tastes like ****ing shit. Raw fish. RAW FISH. Why would you eat such a thing?

I could do without Boned In Wings. Just give me boneless, more meat, less chewiness, less cleanup. I don't need a bone through the middle of my food for any reason.

Most of what is in individual plastic wraps is not real cheese. If the package says "pasteurized process cheese food", it is only partially cheese. Some more of that good ole food engineering :(

You don't want the word "food" on it if you are looking for real cheese. As far as white or yellow American, I have never noticed a difference in taste ASSUMING it's real American cheese.

Cheese is a big deal for me. I have the wife educated on what to buy when it comes to cheese :thumb:

Hell yes I dont like it on anything.

Sour cream also I dont like it on mexican. Its always dolloped on way to heavy and overpowers everything. I like it on a potato or a chip dip mix thats about it.

Miracle whip its a miracle they can sell that stuff. Who idea was it to mix apples and grapes in it and call it fruit salad. Thats a sick person.

srvy 02-12-2018 12:48 PM

Coconut. Worthless in anything its put in. If I was stranded on a deserted Island with only coconut trees as a food source Id use it to crack my open like a egg.

It's one food I've never over eaten tho'. So never grew tired of it.

Love the flambé effect. I've considered making a plum pudding but usually have so much to do at that time, I've never had the time. Or to make an authentic mince meat pie, which I'd like to try making.

I think cheese fits this thread perfectly. Cheese is just fine (pizza, nachos, etc) but there is a ton of it on everything, and it generally adds little to the dish other than a greasy blob.

:D There's another. Tho' it is mixed with more than one ingredient like rum, lime and pineapple. Not one of my favored cocktails. Had it once. Tho' I did make a Pina Colada smoothie once to use up some leftover coconut milk.

I prefer a Mojito or Margarita. Even a booze-free Mojito is so refreshing in Florida during the warmer months. I love lime.

I will do that with crappy pizza. Just to cover the taste. I'm a pepperoni or meat lovers kinda guy, the wife likes that Hawaiian pineapple kinda whatever it is pizza. Of course, the kids all eat what I'm eating so I usually get stuck eating some of hers. Ranch dressing will make it tolerable. Beer helps also :)

I've only recently dabbled. It's easy to see the difference between really good guac and shitty, pre-made horseshit. When done right, the combination of flavors is wonderful. Gotta like avocado, tho.

I've never gotten into Indian food. I have friends and family that rave about it and I've tried probably 15-20 different Indian restaurants and I've just never gotten into it. Curry is pretty good but there are curries from numerous Asian countries so I don't consider curry to be exclusively Indian. In fact, if I have to go to an Indian restaurant, I'll get some curry because I can eat it.

I'm no over the top lover of eggs, but eggs have a lot value. I ate a LOT of them in college, they were cheap, easy, and versatile. I made it through college without eating a single packet of Ramen. Eggs were my poverty meal.

On a side note, my wife is an uber egg snob.

She has to have a 2 eggs over medium, 2 pieces of toast, and 2 slices of cheese. Sausage is good but optional. Then she needs to use the toast to dab up the yolk.

If she overcooks the eggs, she throws a giant hissy fit. Like throwing pans all over the kitchen and shit. If the toast gets cold...same shit. Hell one time I got up early and made her and the girl some scrambled eggs. She said she'd make her own. I said, "wait, what? You'd rather cook your own stuff than eat what I made you?" "Yeah, I guess so"

I wont eat a burger with thousand island dressing on it. If I eat at crackadoo rarely its the regular cheeseburger or a fish sandwich. Burger Kings are trash in my neck of the woods its not even a option. The owner is trash and he owns both that are in a reasonable radius.

I am WAY into eggs of all styles, whether traditional sunny-side up, scrambled, omelettes, boiled and poached. Huevos Rancheros is one of my all time favorite dishes, regardless of the time of day.

Recently, I've been making a 3 egg omelette (one egg and the equivelent of 2 egg whites) with parsley, black pepper, fresh uncooked spinach and jalapeño jack shredded cheese cooked in a tiny bit of hot canola oil.

The omelette is tender, the spinach soft and flavorful while the cheese gives it a kick.

Chilaquiles is awesome, too.

I'll often make scrambled eggs (with a touch of sour cream), top it with Monterrey Jack cheese and salsa, with a sliced avocado on the side.

I make "Italian style" eggs over easy.

Warm up the skillet with some real Olive Oil (and fake olive oil is prevalent, so do your research), then crack open and place 2-3 eggs in the skillet. I immediately top with black pepper and parsley.

With the gas at Medium Low, I let is gently cook until the whites of the eggs are almost to form. At that point, I flip over the eggs using a large spatula and allow them to cook for no more than 15 seconds.

The result is a small platter of over easy eggs and once the yolks are pierced with a fork, it begins to dribble out, which is perfect for toast, bagels or whatever floats your boat that morning. :D

Hell one time I got up early and made her and the girl some scrambled eggs. She said she'd make her own. I said, "wait, what? You'd rather cook your own stuff than eat what I made you?" "Yeah, I guess so"


Well, I'd get along great with her. I'm an egg snob, am fussy about my yolks being just right, want my toast warm to dip into them. Though I prefer my poached. We would have a blast sharing a hissy fit. Only I don't toss pans if that happens, tho' I would consider the idea if shared doing it with someone, but I do have a similar meltdown. I cuss like a sailor tho' and I throw them down the disposal if I over cook them.

So I guess, I don't think eggs are over rated.

Recently, I've been making a 3 egg omelette (one egg and the equivelent of 2 egg whites) with parsley, black pepper, fresh uncooked spinach and jalapeño jack shredded cheese cooked in a tiny bit of hot canola oil.

The omelette is tender, the spinach soft and flavorful while the cheese gives it a kick.

You know what is a great omelette—what one NY deli place here called the Fifth Avenue omelette. They no longer make it but I make it now since they don't anymore.

You have to like goat cheese though. I do. Soften it to room temp first.

Roast your own slices of tomato ( I broil them up quick), cook up some bacon. Then make the omelette's eggs. Add a layer of goat cheese, add layer of spinach, then slices of the roasted tomato and break up pieces on bacon on top of the tomato and spinach. It is really different and delicious.

Lot of work though. I usually make the bacon the night before.


I have made an apple cinnamon omelette before too. You can add goat cheese to that too.

Texture in a potato salad should be in the form of diced pickles.
Celery is just a mixture of water and hair.
