A number of years ago when cupcake shops were opening everywhere, there was this one called Mancakes that did "manly" cupcakes (think bacon and alcohol). I finally broke down one day and decided to try one. I went with the "Buffalo wings" cupcake which turned out to be what I guess was Frank's Red Hot flavoured cake, topped with icing and some sort of crispy sprinkles (chicken skin?), and stuffed with (to my gagging surprise) blue cheese icing.
I love hot wings, I love blue cheese dip, and cupcakes are just fine.
But a buffalo wing cupcake has to be the nastiest concoction to be called a cupcake that I've ever tasted.
Growing up my mother would occasionally make a dish my father enjoyed that she called “Depression Dinner”. It was mashed potatoes covered in fried ground beef with beef gravy poured on top of it.
I like mashed potatoes. I like using ground beef in a variety of dishes. And who can say anything bad about gravy? But mix those three together — ugh, no thanks. It was like baby food for adults. There was a reason why my brother and I took to calling it Depressing Dinner growing up.
Yeah, the mistake here is in putting the beef and gravy on top resulting in mush. Putting the potatoes on top and allowing them to crisp would really change the flavor and texture.
Oh certainly changing the presentation, texture, and separation of the ingredients can make a big difference in a dish! I’d say the difference between “depression dinner” and Shepard’s pie is like the difference between cake batter and cake — they’re both made up of the exact same stuff, but one is a gloopy mess you’d probably not want to eat a whole bowl of, and the other is delicious cake you’ll want a second serving of.
I hear ya, altho at the same time your DD as is doesn't sound that bad to me.
Of course, I'd want to drain the hell out of that ground beef and cook it with some chili mix, too. Without some simple steps like that I could indeed see how it might taste more like oily Gerbers.
To be clear — Mom’s “Depression Dinner” was in fact just greasy fried ground beef poured over mashed potatoes. No spices. I don’t even think she used any salt or pepper. Oily Gerbers would be a perfectly apt description!
Similar to beef mince, onions, gravy and mash for me. My da loves it but I found the combo depressing despite the fact I used to eat mash out of the pot with a spoon. And yes I'm Irish.
Cookout pasta salad. I like pasta, mayo, corn, tomatoes, cucumber, olives, onions, whatever else goes in normally, but pasta salad is just so disappointing.
I am the opposite about a Reuben- I’m not especially a fan of pastrami, sauerkraut, Swiss cheese, or thousand island dressing, but fuck if it’s not incredible together.
I like your idea of reversing the question. On their own I'm not big on sour cream or mayonnaise, but either of them mixed together with the right seasonings or sometimes even together with some seasoning and I can't get enough. Mayo is nasty, but a garlic aioli? Fricken great. Plain sour cream? A tad on a baked potato is fine, but a chipotle lime crema? I might lick that up off the floor...
French fries sometimes go in kebabs and stuff around here. When they're on the side, that is awesome. When they're just drenched in the sauce so you get a soggy pile of greasy potato, it is disgusting.
Oh, and fruity beers suck: not just "notes of blahblahblah in my hipster IPA" which can be good, but "we literally put fruit juice in this stuff" which... can't. I like beer, I like fruit. They do not, however, need to mix on my account.
Sorta related: coriander (cilantro) is fine in moderation and I'm a sucker for a baguette. Once had a banh mi that had a fucking bushel of the stuff, tasted like being dragged through miles of dense shrubbery after someone yanked you out of the shower mid-shampooing. Also burning.
In Greece it is pretty standard to put fries on gyros. That's part of why I love them. But: having the proper crispy fry is essential, as is eating your gyro freshly made.
My local Greek place does this and I always assumed it was an Americanized gyro. They're super tasty and we love eating there. Interesting to know it's actually done in Greece too.
I said the same about fruity beers, sours, lambics, (also found white wines too acidic) and now I like them lol. Sometimes taste changes when you get older.
Oh, and fruity beers suck: not just “notes of blahblahblah in my hipster IPA” which can be good, but “we literally put fruit juice in this stuff” which… can’t. I like beer, I like fruit. They do not, however, need to mix on my account.
There's a fruit beer sold around here that's actually quite good, and with a better alcohol kick than most beers. Unlike the ones you mention, it doesn't use barley at all, and tastes kind of like some lambics I've had.
I hate all peanut products. I'm not allergic, either. Whenever my wife has peanut butter, I stay in another room and open the window. For some reason it's absolutely revolting.
I once found a Cafe Latte flavoured yoghurt. I thought it would be amazing. Tasted it and immediately regretted it. It tasted just absolutely awful, I can't even describe it.
I understand the history behind it (gelatin used to be something that took all day to make, refrigeration used to be uncommon, so gelatin was a marker of wealth, blah blah blah) but no force in heaven or earth will ever move me from the belief that high lead levels were a huge factor in what people put in gelatin, served to guests, and told themselves was good.
I used to be like that except hating mayo in general. Japanese Kewpie changed that for me, but egg salad is still not my favorite and I'll never purposefully order it.
Mostly not picky anymore but oh how I hate raisins or grapes in curry or any savory dish. Yuck, yuck, yuck. Really picky about fruit in anything, apple in mulligatawny and in chicken salad eew.
But the Mexican fruit salad that has mango, pineapple, jicama, orange and ONION and crumbled cheese? I love it and nobody else in my household does.
I think (think, not know) that they are in recipes here because a lot of our Indian food is by way of England's Indian restaurants, which are sort of a cuisine unto themselves. So for all I know they could have started as a joke, but it's persisted if so. Someone must like them.
Oh I feel you! I ate spaghetti Bolognese ice cream a couple of years ago and I couldn't stand it. Ice cream is great and Bolognese is great but not mixed together.
I don't do turkey and cranberry sauce, porkchop with applesauce, paté with jam/chutneys... something about meat and fruit sauce. Well but I don't like chicken and waffles either. Oh, and bacon donuts!
Garbage plates, holy crap. For those of you who don't know, a garbage plate refers to a famous "cuisine" in Upstate New York, comprising of random picnic ingredients thrown together like a salad and is understandably the butt of many jokes because it is to cuisine what the back-scratching-hair-combing-nose-picking-ukulele-tuner is to inventions. On top of that, every restaurant has its own take on it that varies the recipe, so you will never know exactly how it is unless you've already touched that particular restaurant. The one time where I'd prefer each set to be sold separately (and batteries to not be included, gawd).
My mother's coworker's child made a bacon bundt cake, and specifically sent a piece for her.
I agreed to eat it with my mother out of solidarity.
Honestly, she's like, 9 or something, and did a great job of it. Kinda had a bacon pancake going, didn't have many tunnels or anything. Would be a great dessert for a barbecue, that kinda thing.
But no one in my immediate family is that into bacon, let alone being combined with sweets.
Non native english speaker here, not trying to have an argument but to learn.
Is it correct to use "whose" in this context?
I kinda thought "whose" was meant to refer to a person and not an object, but really I don't know.
Though I'd use something like "of which" or whatever else instead.
(Or just do what I do and rephrase it so you don't need to bother with this syntax to begin with.)
"What is a dish where each individual component you like, but when combined together become a dish you think is nasty?"
I'm not a native English speaker either but I've spoken English from a young age. "Whose" is used to denote belonging, not necessarily personhood, which can be confusing as "who" does denote personhood. There isn't really a "whose" equivalent for objects so it's used for any noun which another noun belongs to.
Yeah, you shouldn't use who's for objects, as in the one "who is" doing something; that should be "that's" or "which is. But for possession like this case "that's" doesn't work at all. "Of which" or "for which" might work in this sentence, but I don't think any native speaker would be confused by whose here
"Whose" should probably be "thats". But a native English speaker will occasionally personify things and so the meaning would be the same, but you are correct.
First generation montrealer here of Italian descent: that sauce is a bastardized Greek meat sauce, there is nothing remotely spaghetti or Italian about it.
I actually love Italian poutine for what it is, but I would never put that sauce on spaghetti or call a sauce that routinely contains cinnamon and oregano an Italian sauce.
I don’t eat meat anymore but I’m from Cincy and do occasionally crave a 5 way, hell even a 4 or 3 way (yes seriously that’s what our iconic company for this dish calls its dishes, skyline knows what they’re doing). My wife would fucking love this as a poutine as it sounds like it’s just a 3 way with fries instead of spaghetti.
Usually it's fries, curds, fries, curds, sauce. Cheapo places won't double up the curds but the good places definitely do. If that's what you have in mind you guys should roll by Montreal.
I think someone disagreed with you lol (not myself) but I don't mind citrus in some stuff like cheesecake. I do get that it's a strange pairing but is quite tangy which I think people like. Probably makes them eat more of it.
I don’t mind the juice but more the whole pieces inside of cake or müsli, I find it’s a weird feeling even if I like them individually. Juice or cest is great everywhere.
I’m down with carbon, oxygen, phosphorous, and all these other nice elements, but you mix them together in just the right way and you get my ex girlfriend.
I love peanuts, and I love pretty much most Asian region dishes that I've had access to in the US, but peanuts/peanut flavor in a "meal" is gross to me. Peanuts are a snack/dessert to me so it's just really odd to have it in a meal.
I thought I would hate that combination too, but diluted and fizzy I really like it. Not espresso, cold brew, fresh OJ, and Topo Chico mixed and poured over ice really tastes good, smoky orange flavor. I did not expect to like it and it didn't work with espresso (I think the ice shocks it) but with cold brew and fizzy/diluted? Yum.
Cheerios and Bugles (each separately). Nothing in either item should make them smell like death. But every flavor of either I've encountered always has. They're not even the same kind of grain.
I'll eat most ingredients in a wide variety of contexts. It's pretty rare that I'll find something that I don't like, and can't eventually find a way to like.
I'm not expecting them to be amazing, but them being substantially worse than bland and boring is still a surprise.
A lot of places do some really crazy garnishes, rather than the traditional celery. I don't like clams or tomato juice, but I have seen a Caesar with a burger slider on a skewer.

The bakers were so preoccupied with whether or not they could, they didn’t stop to think if they should.
That's the greatest thing I've ever heard that I absolutely wouldn't try.
Thank you for experiencing this so the rest of us don't have to.
Do want.
Edit: but it needs some form of hot pepper.
Growing up my mother would occasionally make a dish my father enjoyed that she called “Depression Dinner”. It was mashed potatoes covered in fried ground beef with beef gravy poured on top of it.

Doesn't sound that far from Shepard's Pie though, a tasty dish beloved by zillions.
Yeah, the mistake here is in putting the beef and gravy on top resulting in mush. Putting the potatoes on top and allowing them to crisp would really change the flavor and texture.
Oh certainly changing the presentation, texture, and separation of the ingredients can make a big difference in a dish!

Potatoes and hamburger gravy, yep that's a thing
meatloaf, mashed potatoes, and gravy but with fewer steps?
This is what I ate after I could finally graduate from soup after having my wisdom teeth removed
Cookout pasta salad. I like pasta, mayo, corn, tomatoes, cucumber, olives, onions, whatever else goes in normally, but pasta salad is just so disappointing.
I am the opposite about a Reuben- I’m not especially a fan of pastrami, sauerkraut, Swiss cheese, or thousand island dressing, but fuck if it’s not incredible together.
I like your idea of reversing the question. On their own I'm not big on sour cream or mayonnaise, but either of them mixed together with the right seasonings or sometimes even together with some seasoning and I can't get enough. Mayo is nasty, but a garlic aioli? Fricken great. Plain sour cream? A tad on a baked potato is fine, but a chipotle lime crema? I might lick that up off the floor...
I too have an oddly specific one of these, which is tartare sauce.
I actively dislike all three of mayonnaise, gherkins, and capers. Mix 'em together though? Brilliant.
French fries sometimes go in kebabs and stuff around here. When they're on the side, that is awesome. When they're just drenched in the sauce so you get a soggy pile of greasy potato, it is disgusting.
Oh, and fruity beers suck: not just "notes of blahblahblah in my hipster IPA" which can be good, but "we literally put fruit juice in this stuff" which... can't. I like beer, I like fruit. They do not, however, need to mix on my account.
Sorta related: coriander (cilantro) is fine in moderation and I'm a sucker for a baguette. Once had a banh mi that had a fucking bushel of the stuff, tasted like being dragged through miles of dense shrubbery after someone yanked you out of the shower mid-shampooing. Also burning.
In Greece it is pretty standard to put fries on gyros. That's part of why I love them. But: having the proper crispy fry is essential, as is eating your gyro freshly made.
My local Greek place does this and I always assumed it was an Americanized gyro. They're super tasty and we love eating there. Interesting to know it's actually done in Greece too.
Fresh and still crispy, sure. It's the sogginess that got me.
I said the same about fruity beers, sours, lambics, (also found white wines too acidic) and now I like them lol. Sometimes taste changes when you get older.
There's a fruit beer sold around here that's actually quite good, and with a better alcohol kick than most beers. Unlike the ones you mention, it doesn't use barley at all, and tastes kind of like some lambics I've had.
Really unpopular opinion, peanut butter and jelly. I do not like them together nor do I even like peanut butter with added sugar.
I like peanut butter with sugar, but it's candy in my mind. Peanut butter and jelly sandwich is just a dessert sandwich.
It's considered healthy here
I hate all peanut products. I'm not allergic, either. Whenever my wife has peanut butter, I stay in another room and open the window. For some reason it's absolutely revolting.
Yeah, the texture makes me want to vomit. Something like trail mix with peanuts + raisins or dried cranberries or something are fine for me, though.
Yeah peanut butter is best as a savory salty dish
Chocolate and yoghurt. Chocolate flavoured yoghurt taste gross.
I once found a Cafe Latte flavoured yoghurt. I thought it would be amazing. Tasted it and immediately regretted it. It tasted just absolutely awful, I can't even describe it.
Yeah that sounds like sour coffee
That weird jell-o gelatin / cool whip combo they serve at cafeterias.
But everything's better with cool hwip.
Cottage cheese and fruit. I just can't do the cottage cheese saltiness and texture with the sugary flavor and chunkiness of pineapple.
Bet you don't like Hawaiian pizza then.
Pineapple rings on ham is, however, another story!
Have you tried it with peaches or pears instead of pineapple? Fruit halves work better than small pieces IMO.
It’s definitely very texturally special, so I don’t blame people for not liking it, lol.
How bout something like onion jam and cheese?
I like meat. I like jelly. But aspics... just looking at their image grossed me out.
Knowing how popular gelatinized everything used to be in the middle of the previous century makes me want to barf more than a little.
I understand the history behind it (gelatin used to be something that took all day to make, refrigeration used to be uncommon, so gelatin was a marker of wealth, blah blah blah) but no force in heaven or earth will ever move me from the belief that high lead levels were a huge factor in what people put in gelatin, served to guests, and told themselves was good.
I always think of that stupid Family Guy cutaway.
"Can someone pass the beef jelly?"
Anything "salad" where the salad includes tuna, mayo, or egg. I can't handle it. I don't know why. Egg salad. Tuna salad. 🤢
I like salad. I like eggs. I like tuna somewhat. I like mayo somewhat. But any of those weird combinations make me sick.
I used to be like that except hating mayo in general. Japanese Kewpie changed that for me, but egg salad is still not my favorite and I'll never purposefully order it.
Mostly not picky anymore but oh how I hate raisins or grapes in curry or any savory dish. Yuck, yuck, yuck. Really picky about fruit in anything, apple in mulligatawny and in chicken salad eew.
But the Mexican fruit salad that has mango, pineapple, jicama, orange and ONION and crumbled cheese? I love it and nobody else in my household does.
You know, I've never seen raisins in inappropriate places except as a joke about white people. Is it a regional thing?
I think (think, not know) that they are in recipes here because a lot of our Indian food is by way of England's Indian restaurants, which are sort of a cuisine unto themselves. So for all I know they could have started as a joke, but it's persisted if so. Someone must like them.
Wait til you hear about the pineapple and cheese dish that is soooo delish
I'm your evil twin in regard to raisins. I like them in savory dishes and salads, but can't stand them in desserts and baked goods.
That's how I feel about peanuts. Boiled peanuts, peanut noodle, Kung Pao, all good. Peanut butter cookies? Eeeeew.
Raisins in curry are the best as long as they're allowed to rehydrate and there's not an over abundance.
Mint chocolate. Hate that stuff, but I don't mind mint or chocolate.
I once tried sardine ice cream. I love sardines and I love ice cream. The only place I want them to mix is AFTER they are in my stomach.
Wtf that sounds awful. You sure nobody was playing a joke on you?
No joke.

Thanks, Pipey.
A lot of what Midwesterners consider "salad".
I think they got it from us Germans. Basically throw whatever into a bowl with Mayonnaise, boom, salad.
And then there's Kabelsalat, but it usually has no Mayo. ;) Kabelsalat wiki (in German)
You’ll pry my Caesar salad from my cold dead hands! My Kartoffelsalat is similarly cherished. You can take the miracle whip salads.
I feel like I'm in the minority on this one, but I don't like fruit and yogurt together. Individually, they're great.
Fucking same. Gives me the same vibe as OJ with pulp, ugh

In this context, "whose" works fine, on the basis that almost no other options work at all outside of completely rewriting the question.
I personally would just switch it out for "with" instead; it does slightly reframe the phrase but doesn't change the question itself.
Doesn't require much rewriting tbh
"the component parts of which"
that's fair!
"Whose" should probably be "thats". But a native English speaker will occasionally personify things and so the meaning would be the same, but you are correct.
"Thats" is dialectal.
Italian Poutine.
Actual poutine is great.
Spaghetti sauce is great.
But a Poutine where you replace the gravy with spaghetti sauce, no.
eww what, is that an actual thing?!
First generation montrealer here of Italian descent: that sauce is a bastardized Greek meat sauce, there is nothing remotely spaghetti or Italian about it.
I actually love Italian poutine for what it is, but I would never put that sauce on spaghetti or call a sauce that routinely contains cinnamon and oregano an Italian sauce.
Bro. Bro.
Belle province, all dressed steamies and an "Italian" Poutine. My god.
Sure as fuck ain't Italian or a good meat sauce but as a combo that shit slaps.
Fuck yes! Michigan hotdogs covered in chopped onions and cayenne too.
Agreed, my comment would be said with the words "Italian" and "spaghetti" in airquotes.
Never seen one with cinnamon, then again I just don't order those.
I'll have to check with my gf who does.
Oh so it’s Cincinnati spaghetti chili?
Haha from what I've heard it's exactly that.
I don’t eat meat anymore but I’m from Cincy and do occasionally crave a 5 way, hell even a 4 or 3 way (yes seriously that’s what our iconic company for this dish calls its dishes, skyline knows what they’re doing). My wife would fucking love this as a poutine as it sounds like it’s just a 3 way with fries instead of spaghetti.
Usually it's fries, curds, fries, curds, sauce. Cheapo places won't double up the curds but the good places definitely do. If that's what you have in mind you guys should roll by Montreal.
I had to look up what poutine was, and I can assure you that we don't have anything like that in Italy
I hate oranges (or orange type fruits) in cake or anything else basically. It just feels wrong somehow.
Me too, or chocolate oranges
I think someone disagreed with you lol (not myself) but I don't mind citrus in some stuff like cheesecake. I do get that it's a strange pairing but is quite tangy which I think people like. Probably makes them eat more of it.
I don’t mind the juice but more the whole pieces inside of cake or müsli, I find it’s a weird feeling even if I like them individually. Juice or cest is great everywhere.
Sauerkraut milkshake
I love chocolate and licorice but there's those licorice balls with chocolate coating which I just find to be an unpleasant and weird combination.
Unpopular opinion? Strawberries with whipped cream make want to puke.
Jambalaya. I love all the individual ingredients, but put together as Jambalaya makes me wanna hurl.
I’m down with carbon, oxygen, phosphorous, and all these other nice elements, but you mix them together in just the right way and you get my ex girlfriend.
A lot of things on shittyfoodporn. For instance, pb&j devilled eggs
Why, and I say this with as much emphasis as possible, the. FUCK... would anyone do that!?
Thai food.
I love peanuts, and I love pretty much most Asian region dishes that I've had access to in the US, but peanuts/peanut flavor in a "meal" is gross to me. Peanuts are a snack/dessert to me so it's just really odd to have it in a meal.
How do you feel about peanut butter and jelly sandwiches?
Not the same person, but I'm fine with a PB sandwich or toast with Jam, but the texture of the two together makes me want to vomit.
That's like a snack for me, not a meal. It's so sweet it's sort of like a dessert.
Not a 'dish' but Espresso Orange Juice is nasty despite loving orange juice and espresso separately
I thought I would hate that combination too, but diluted and fizzy I really like it. Not espresso, cold brew, fresh OJ, and Topo Chico mixed and poured over ice really tastes good, smoky orange flavor. I did not expect to like it and it didn't work with espresso (I think the ice shocks it) but with cold brew and fizzy/diluted? Yum.
Toothpaste Sandwich
Cheerios and Bugles (each separately). Nothing in either item should make them smell like death. But every flavor of either I've encountered always has. They're not even the same kind of grain.
I'll eat most ingredients in a wide variety of contexts. It's pretty rare that I'll find something that I don't like, and can't eventually find a way to like.
I'm not expecting them to be amazing, but them being substantially worse than bland and boring is still a surprise.
A Canadian Ceasar cocktail.
Do i like clams? Yes.
Tomato ? Yes.
Fried pickles/onion rings/prawns/burger/etc? Yes.
Vodka? Yes.
All together? ...
I... Where are you buying Caesars that you're getting them with fried pickles/onion rings/etc?
Or am I misunderstanding and you meant that those are on the side?
I got one when i visited Vancouver at a place called Score on Davie, the 'toppings' were great but i wasnt ready for the clamato cocktail.
A lot of places do some really crazy garnishes, rather than the traditional celery. I don't like clams or tomato juice, but I have seen a Caesar with a burger slider on a skewer.
MAYONAISE
Loaded potatoes. Most times they just look like shit.
potato salad is fucked up. How could you possibly take eggs and potatoes and think pickles is what you need to tie it all together?
They are! Without pickles a potato salad tastes bland but a pivkle or few gives it a sour third note and it is amazing!
Mayyonise . Do i like egg and potatoes ? hell yeah. Do i wanna eat white vomit inducing slime ? Fuck no.
You mean eggs and vinegar?
Mayo does *not contain potatoes.
Some does some don't . Depends on the cook and their taste i guess i hate the eggs and vinegar one too.
Mayo does absolutely not contain any potatoes.
Maybe you are uncertain of what mayo or potatoes are? Or are you trying to force a new "What are potatoes"-sort of meme?
I have ate it many time and have just called my cuz to confirm it.
She maybe but this was uncalled for you sob.
Your cuz is gaslighting you.
But i do have memories of makin em like that ?
Implanted memories. How deep does this rabbit-hole go?
I think you're wrong. Even Google seems to have no idea what I'm talking about when I tried to look up if any mayo recipe contains potatoes.
Bruh idk about google i have ate it and i just called my cuz to confirm it .
Cousine wars ?
Where are you from? Can you find a recipe online that aligns with what your cuz says?
I think potatoes are used to just make it more thick and creamy .
Like others said, post a recipe
I think potatoes are used just make it more thick and creamy.
Either post a recipe or post a link to an actual product you can buy at a store.
Potato in mayonaise? I thought it's egg and some sort of oil.
Maybe you're thinking of potato salad?
Nah mate i have ate it and just called my cuz to confirm it
Think your cuz might be a bit confused
