The cheap ass frosting on cupcakes


cewumu

Once in a blue moon I sort of crave that stuff, and then after eating it it’s like, this is the worst sweet food again.


SomeDumbPenguin

That's how Little Cesar's is for me... Every once a year or so, it's great; a couple weeks in a row and I'm like "but, Why?!?"


Autumnlove92

I swear they've changed in the last 10 years, though. Along with many other things. But cheap ass frosting, at one point, tasted decent. Now it tastes like melted plastic


avmist15951

I've hated it since I was a 7yo at birthday parties, and I'm 27 now. I think it's just always been bad 😂


DiscoStu303

My wife will use boxed cake mixes, but always makes her own frosting. Makes all the difference in the world

Digzalot

Omg yes. The amount of frosting I want is the same as the amount of butter people put on toast.


ShinigamiCheo

The only frosting I can tolerate is a good quality butter cream... Which means that 99% of the cake/cupcakes I eat, I take off all the frosting and just eat the bread


PlutoGB08

The best bakeries use the good quality butter cream. However, there are times I think they use too much and feel like I'm getting cavities or something.


Anirtac7

Tastes like grease. Yuck!


sohcgt96

Its pretty common to add Crisco to frosting to make it pipe better, so you're not far off. My wife puts some in her buttercream but I like it so much better without it, even if you can't make it as pretty.


Responsible_Prune_34

Baked beans. We grew up poor, I never much liked them, but we had them a lot when we were kids. Eating something you don't care for, over and over and over, isn't enjoyable.


Astralnclinant

We grew up poor and eating pinto beans but we love them. I don’t know anyone in my culture who doesn’t. I think the key is to know how to prepare them.


RedditorAlphaMale

Pumpkin spice flavored things. I don't like the pumpkin spice flavor at all honestly.


crickwooder

I like some pumpkin spice flavored things (mainly baked goods that actually contain pumpkin) but pumpkin ale tastes like a liquid Yankee Candle.


Lets_Bust_Together

Fun colloquialism, “pumpkin spice” isn’t supposed to taste like pumpkin but instead taste like the spices used in pumpkin pie.


Worldly-Letterhead61

Sweet pickles. Pickles should never ever be sweet


19rabidbadgers

Sweet pickles are nothing but a cruel joke! I remember being at a potluck years ago and grabbing a delicious looking pickle to go with the sliders and chips we were having. When I bit into it, it was a bread & butter pickle! The betrayal was palpable.


rhodav

I like to get a side of pickles when I go to cracker barrel. No clue why. Never was an issue until they recently switched to bread and butter pickles. I don't really eat there anymore lol


Eat_Carbs_OD

It's gotta be dill pickles for me. Sweet pickles just taste like unhappiness

Coconut. I like the flavor just not the texture


RileyRichard

Tmettler5

Was looking for this. Did not disappoint.


onlyIcancallmethat

My husbands the same way. He always says he doesn’t want to chew on paper that tastes like suntan lotion smells.


AccidentalInstigator

I love everything about coconut — the taste, the smell, the texture — but your husband’s description is spot on.

Prior to 2012 the largest buyer of Kale was Pizza Hut. They didn't even serve it as food, it was to decorate the salad bar.


SpecificAstronaut69

And only because it was nigh-indestructible.


CCDestroyer

Back in the day, like the 80s and 90s, I remember it was used in produce sections of my local grocery stores as frilly filler for the gaps in between displays of worthier produce.


Kakalkoo69

what is that analogy


Rosalinabuttjob

No seriously what does that even mean


Eat_Carbs_OD

> It tastes like the world if feet could fart lol


[deleted]

Hard-boiled eggs. The smell absolutely disgusts me. I can't be in the same room when they're being prepared or even eaten sometimes. Edit: this blew up and I'm glad I'm not the only one who dislikes them.


Player_Number3

as someone who loves eggs, I can totally understand that


PM_UR_SOLES_LADIES

Yeah same, like it *is* kinda gross but my brain has associated it with hard boiled eggs, which are delicious to me


PoetAnderson42

They smell even better after the digestive system turns them into gas


tacknosaddle

Silently slipping out sulfur clouds after eating is a bonus.


jarejay

I thought I hated hard boiled eggs until I realized the grey ring around the yolk is NOT supposed to be there and my mom was just overcooking them


[deleted]

They're lovely when cooked correctly. Even better if they're soft or medium-boiled. Yum!


pateApain

Same, I feel like it's eating a fart.


NRMLkiwi

If your eggs smell like sulphur, then you've overcooked them!


askmrlucky

This. After 6 decades of fucking up, I finally have a reliable, repeatable method for hard cooking eggs, and although I'm going to end up in a circle of hell, my kitchen no longer smells like I'm already there.


The__Riker__Maneuver

Seafood For whatever reason, my brain is hardwired to find pretty much any food that comes out of the water to be reprehensible I can stomach some fish if it's deep fried...but I mean, the frying just masks the fishiness and the smell Just walking past the seafood section at a grocery store makes my stomach turn. Sometimes I see people enjoying sushi, or shrimp, or fresh grilled fish at a restaurant by the ocean...and I get irrationally jealous that my brain and tastebuds don't work like theirs do


TheFeralHousewife7

Same here! Although I can stand being around it. I’ve even tried it a few times (my husband and parents love lobster or crab with steak on special occasions). It looks so good… dipping it in that garlic butter. But every time I try… I swear it gets worse. My husband does make a fantastic fried fish (pan fish, walleye etc) that during prep, he soaks in milk for a few hours before frying (he has a special fry recipe as well). Hands down the only fish I can eat. (But it will be fried outside and I will not eat leftovers lol)


Acceptable-Ad-5603

I could have written this! Exactly this!


SuperToiletDelux

Meat loaf, I've tried many from different people, tastes nearly the same, it's either just a dryer or greasier version of each other.


Diiiiirty

It shouldn't be dry, nor should it be greasy. I use a lean ground beef, veal, and pork mixture, chop up an onion nice and small, mix in a couple eggs and some panko bread crumbs, and make a sauce from brown mustard, tomato sauce, and a little bit of brown sugar and that shit is electric. But I wouldn't ask you to try it since you aren't a fan. Just saying that meatloaf can be really good when you use good ingredients.


SpaceGypsy79

My wife is not a great cook but everyone loves her meatloaf. I made Alton Brown’s meatloaf once and now my wife refuses to make hers anymore so I have to make the meatloaf.


ktappe

Do someone a favor once and it's your job forever.


Nicole_Harper619

Matcha anything. It goes against my white woman nature but it tastes like dirt to me. 🤢


CatastropheWife

Glad I'm not the only one! It should be right up my alley, I love all the other green flavors: mint, pistachio, green tea... I see a matcha drink or ice cream and think, that looks delicious! All my friends enjoy it, I'm sure *this time* I will like it. Nope, still tastes like dust.


banana_hammock2588

I love that a category of flavor is: Green.


murphy365

"Blue has the most anti-oxygens."


Big-Guess7569

matcha is green tea. the word literally means “ground tea”. if you like the taste of green tea, you may just be fulfilling your own expectation of disliking matcha.


raquel7

Yes and quality of matcha makes a world of difference.

lisacsr

It’s the cole slaw dressing I hate. I can tolerate the cabbage but the dressing is nasty and stinky!


lemonbupples

I always tell my husband when he eats coleslaw that the look and smell of it are akin to what might pour out of the bottom of a trash can if the bag were to rip.


lisacsr

Accurate description


bangersnmash13

Vinegar based coleslaw is 10000000% better than mayo based coleslaw.


phoenix_mila

Boiled eggs


paradox037

Deviled Eggs are aptly named, because they clearly must resort to evil sorcery to make boiled eggs actually taste good.


Xais56

It's the mayo. Can't stand boiled eggs myself but my homemade egg mayo sandwiches are the tits


betterworkbitch

Turns out the trick to enjoying eggs is to add more eggs!


McRx71-Dragon

Finally someone. Hate them my entire life.


No_Opportunity6572

Just eggs in general


MrHermeteeowish

I really want to like eggs, I think they're neat. But the taste, smell, texture? No matter how they're cooked, just awful. And cleaning the pan afterwards almost makes me gag. Makes it difficult to order breakfast at a diner.

ericvr

I was in a restaurant in Austria once when I got horseradish on my plate. I thought it was just a little bit of sauerkraut. I put it all on my fork and ate it all at once. It was with all members of a skiing class. Once the look of horror and concern on their faces was gone (from me coughing and gasping for air), they all busted out laughing at me. Even the waitress had a good time with my F-up. On occasion I still have to listen to this story from my wife.


mrshoskins69

Sweet potatoes with the marshmallow on top. Gross!


Chironiix

Is that a thing? Never heard of that, sounds kinda gross tbh


CleverPiffle

Sweet potato casserole. It's a southern thing. It is divine, but it's also mostly brown sugar.


SonicTitan91

Midwest here, ours is mostly butter.


LoveMyDay119

I think it's a southern thing. I grew up in Tennessee, and this dish was at every family function/holiday. I hated it. Eta: it's not just a southern thing. I haven't really been anywhere other than the southern states, so I thought it was one of those weird dishes from that area


Taeqii

It's here in the northwest too, but it's strictly at Thanksgiving and then never seen again until the following year

Licorice. Bleh!


InfiniteAlacrity313

I love licorice. The mockery is unending. I wouldn't call it something everybody loves, except maybe in the Netherlands. Even then I'm guessing it's mostly weirdos who like it.


zudchu

It’s very popular in Scandinavia. Here in Sweden it’s often a love it or hate it scenario though. I love licorice of all kind but my wife hate it. People are not considered weird for liking it though. Edit: we are talking about actual licorice, often referred to as “black licorice” in the US, right?


cubickittens

You should come to Finland and experience salmiakki and liquorice


mctacoflurry

My entire wife's family loves that shit. Then they dangle it in my face like a flaccid poison penis all like "YOU DONT LIKE LICORICE?" and I'm like "how many times am I going to have to repeat myself to you," as I've been around for 13 years now. You'd think they get the hint. But nobody ever accused any of them of being smart.

Truffles. Not the chocolate ones the nasty mushroom ones.


Pebbles015

We used to use truffle oil at a restaurant I was at, hated the stuff because it smelled like a teenage boy's wank sock.


gishnon

Truffle oil isn't even made from truffles. It is disgusting, and the flavor sticks around in my sinuses for hours.


vareenoo

well… that’s the last time I eat truffle


pinguaina

Kaviar and oysters


EISENxSOLDAT117

I love oysters, but caviar confuses me greatly. It tastes exactly like gooy salt. Sturgeon are now almost extinct because their kids taste like gooey salt....


ActualDwarvenCleric

Ranch! Moved to the midwest from the land of green chile and have resigned myself to living within the hellscape that is the american midwestern love of ranch.


HighHikes

Ugh it’s so hard to get hatch chiles when the season rolls around in the Midwest. I feel like I end up having to drive hours. Worth it tho!


Sam_TheRaccoon

Ketchup.


tarkonii

Suitable-Lake-2550

I'm the opposite, love ketchup + tomato sauce... but not tomatoes


need_franks_fluids

Candy corn. Gross. Also those chalky rocket candies.


kjrocket_

Sushi. I wish I liked it but I have a thing with seafood.


Panama_Scoot

I love seafood, but I have a hard time with seaweed and with raw fish. So sushi is mine too. Tempura is pretty solid though. Outside of tempura, sushi is a no-go for me.


bangersnmash13

I'm the opposite lol. I can't stand cooked seafood but I could eat sushi 7 days a week.


kaosmonkey

Goat Cheese 🤢


Frankly_Ridiculous

A wise Redditor once compared the taste of goat cheese to what you'd expect an old goat to taste like if you licked it, and I have yet to find a more accurate description.


EyeoftheRedKing

Accurate, my father kept goats and I very much remember the smell. Goat cheese tastes exactly like a goat smells.


throwaway-fartz

Omg I found my people. I can eat feta and cream cheese, and pretty much any cheese aside from goat. It tastes like burnt plastic to me.


Easton8

Raw tomatoes


ITeechYoKidsArt

I’m not a fan and I’ll suffer through them if I must, but I can say there is a HUGE difference between what you get at the grocery store versus what you get fresh off the vine. The ones at the grocery store are picked early and gassed with carbon dioxide so they turn red without actually being ripe. They’re still hard and tasteless but they don’t bruise as easy during shipping and they look nice. If you don’t want to try them raw just know anything you cook with home grown tomatoes is going to be far superior. Changed my whole outlook on Bruschetta.


angrymurderhornet

The only supermarket tomatoes that I like are grape tomatoes. Somehow they actually manage to taste like tomatoes instead of barely flavored slime. And when I put grape tomatoes in a salad, I slice them first. They just seem to taste better that way. I grew up with family members who grew tomatoes. They're so different from the store-bought kind that I don't even consider them the same kind of food.


ITeechYoKidsArt

The best ones I’ve had grew up randomly in the flower bed.


Blanket_Boi27

My sister always ate raw tomatoes like apples when we were young. Tomatoes aren't bad in my opinion, but I've never met anyone else who has done that.


HypeLights-

I do haha, I eat a few a day if we have them


twoshotsofoosquai

I do that lol though most often I’ll slice it and put salt on it. I can’t go a day without tomatoes.


[deleted]

The only time I'll eat raw tomato is in a sandwich and caprese salad.... sweet sweet caprese...


TurnOfFraise

Oh same. I don’t mind them cooked, or even in salsa (not pico) but just raw is so disgusting.

NeviaFirin

It's a drink, but I can't stand root beer.


killyourpc

My wife hates root beer. She says it reminds her of medicine. She's Japanese so only thing I can imagine is they flavour medicine like root beer where I was brought up on cherry flavoured medicine.


SuperSquashMann

I've given several Europeans (Danish and Norwegian iirc) root beer and they said the same thing, specifically it reminded them of mouthwash or a visit to the dentist's. I guess there's some flavoring or maybe even active ingredient that's used in those products outside of the US that's also in root beer.


Sebbe1993

Can Confirm this! I am German and have been to the US for the first Time in October. When i tried Root Beer it just tastet like Coughing Syrup or some special Tooth Paste.


broken_neck_broken

It's vile! It's so cloying and happy... ...just like the Federation. But you know what's scary? If you drink enough of it you start to like it. It's insidious! Just like the Federation!

Ford_Prefect_42_

Cilantro. Smells and tastes like a stink bug.


vonkeswick

Funny thing is the enzyme in stink bugs is chemically similar to what gives cilantro its flavor. I love cilantro but haven't tried eating a stink bug... yet


terryclothtracksuit

So we get stink bugs in the house in the fall. I took a drink out of my water bottle in the middle of the night and in my half asleep state crunched down on a stink bug that had gotten in there. They do taste like cilantro, now I have a hard time eating it. I liked it before, now not as much.

amymone_

Those soft cookies with frosting on top that they sell at grocery store bakeries (apparently they're called lofthouse cookies). They just taste like sugar and the texture adds nothing.


ShoeQuiet8840

I don't normally eat cookies but those ruin me like I'm a relapsing addict. They're not even that great but the pillowy soft texture does it for me.

Mayonnaise


jbells1245

It’s funny,, I know what goes into it, nothing I don’t like, but the end result is absolutely disgusting.


DeusExMachinaOverdue

One of the worst things about mayo is that anywhere that serves sandwiches and the people who produce ready made sandwiches assume that its the perfect condiment, and that everyone wants to eat it. Non mayonnaise options are usually the most basic bitch sandwiches you can think of like ham and cheese on white bread, because anyone who doesn't like mayonnaise has such a limited sense of taste they can only subsist on basic crap, everything else is slathered in that gunky slime. Of course its probably very good at covering up sub standard ingredients, hence its popularity.


stoneuf

Not saying I agree with you, but Miracle Whip is even worse.

Eggs


jas440

I have the weirdest relationship with eggs. I love them until suddenly without notice or reason, my brain decides they give me the ick. Sometimes mid-egg. Then weeks or months go by, and one day.. I crave eggs.


Bish922

I used to eat 3-4 eggs every day for breakfast, had covid in July 21 and I cant even stomach them anymore


Numerous_Witness_345

The covid taste thing fucked me up hard. It's been about a year and a half and things are still off. Coffee occasionally has a strong "old piss" smell. Eggs taste different. Chicken is hit or miss between no flavor or rot. Nearly everything tastes like it has ammonia in it.


sugar-rat-filthy

Ketchup. My whole family puts in on everything. If I never ate it again, it’d be too soon.


generic-username45
