Some people will joke about the trauma as a way to cope. Doesn't make it less bad or okay. I totally don't agree with forcing kids to eat foods they don't like, within reason. If your kid gets a well balanced, nutritious diet, then who cares if they don't like peas or brussel sprouts. But if your kid won't eat anything but ketchup and chicken nuggets, then parents, of course, will have to find a way to encourage them to eat their veg. Extreme picky eating may also be a sign of a medical problem, so it's good to be observant.
Seriously. If you can't do one of the most basic things required to keep you alive, that does not say good things about what you bring to the table in a relationship!
Growing up in England, liver and bacon with mashed potatoes and gravy was always a popular dish
Yes and no. I LOVE mint chocolate chip ice cream if made right. However, it feels as though the past 15-20 years many brands have switched to a tooth paste like mint - artificial, sickly, and 🤢
Kale is the same plant as broccoli, cauliflower, Brussels sprouts, cabbage, collard greens, and kohlrabi.
May I ask ... What are grits? If it's a savoury dish, I agree sugar has no place there.
A good Ranch dressing goes fantastic with chicken! Heck, chicken Ranch recipes are a midwest staple.
It's not meant to be good. Stop placing your expectations on powdered cheese.
Who is cooking fruit? Maybe to put in pies or something, or baked apples? This doesn't seem like a real issue.
People who hate sushi rely on the crunchy, under-cooked rice, bland grocery/gas station stuff or Bento Box. You need to go to a real sushi restaurant.
Mostly because they are always offered when grossly underripe. Very disgusting. Ripe cantaloupes are scrumptious.
Yeah, maas doesn't need sugar. What are you, a colonist or something?!!
Yes and no. Depends on where it's from and brand. Many brands are very overrated in the US and just taste like chocolate flavored sugar (looking at you Hershey as the worst offender).
"Amasi (in Ndebele, Zulu and Xhosa), maas (in Afrikaans), or mafi (in Sesotho), is a fermented milk product that is similar to cottage cheese or plain yogurt." So maybe. I don't know.
I prefer hand-crafted dragonfruit soda personally, but that's just me with my fancy SodaStream.
I’ve never had Prime and probably never will, you can’t convince me to buy something made by Logan Paul, and Gatorade and Powerade are better electrolyte drinks for you anyway, so I don’t see a purpose of buying Prime
Chicken CAN be disgusting (I.e. the weird greyish chicken in Chinese restaurant dishes sometimes, an odd rubber piece of chicken from Popeye's, KFC, Boston Market, I love rotisserie chicken but I cannot and will not eat it if it hasn't been split up because it legit looks like a damn chicken and then I just feel really guilty and consider being a vegetarian... next year... maybe... we'll, maybe it can be my New Year's resolution... that I will no doubt break... again... this, I'm back to not being vegetarian starting the process over... F@cking chicken, man)
alr y'all gotta be eating the actually ripe pineapple. The outside of the pineapple should actually be yellow, not kinda green like how the stores sell them. Here we wait about a week or two after we buy them for them to get ripe enough
The flightless bird or the fruit? ('Kiwi fruit' is a name that was made up to assist in the marketing of the fruit. Used to be 'Chinese gooseberries'.)
You have to eat them at the right level of ripeness. If you eat them too early they're rock-hard and flavorless. If you wait too long they're mushy and gross. The sweet spot's when they still have some crunch, but have flavor to go with it!
Chocolate is delicious, American chocolate could be so much better, but this is a statement made by someone who doesn't want others to enjoy things.
F**k you. McIntosh Apples are wonderful, Strawberries are wonderful, Brown Bread is good with butter and soup, Dark Chocolate is delicous, Cabbage is good if you prepare it properly and use it in things.
This is the hill I choose to die on: Kombucha is a crime against humanity.
i love sour. i love fermented things. currently slamming a glass of kefir. but i dislike kombucha. so i understand!

Most food described has been heavily processed or stuff added during preparation that does not belong there. Sorry, US, don't want to point the finger at you, but so much sugar in everything and so much good food processed to be cheap convenience food... I feel sad for you. All the recipes the immigrants from all over the world brought with them are mostly not how they are meant to be prepared. Go on a road trip in the countries your ancestors came from and taste the original food (however, I would draw a line on Scottish Haggis and German Saumagen)
Can we please stop stereotyping people from the United States? I’m sure not everyone eats all the processed junk. And let me tell you that there’s also a lot of processed junk in other countries now—I’m from the UK and see a surge in it. Immigrants to the US brought their own recipes and made do with what ingredients they had and invented new twists on traditional dishes. That doesn’t mean they are wrong or bad. The US has a huge international population and I’m saying that as an expat living and working here. Where I live there are vibrant immigrant communities that have brought their own foods. There’s international supermarkets and a plethora of international dishes. Many of us have had what you consider “traditional food” from our native countries here and have traveled abroad.

Darlin, I'm sure there are plenty of menstruating people who most definitely agree with that for sure and I'm definitely interested in trying that. Chocolate and salty is absolutely amazing together and I'd suggest trying chocolate covered potato chips; has to be the thicker cut chips with ridges though because the chip flavor comes out the best with the chocolate with them.
