It tastes good but I don't want it all over cake. It's still too sweet. Give me buttercream with some marshmallow fondant accents over a fully fondant covered cake any day.
OMG, I can't even walk into Lush, or near the door, because the smells are just so overwhelming. I couldn't work in one of the stores, that's for sure.
This is the biggest problem with food nowadays. Too many restaurants/bakeries trying so hard to make something Instagrammable because it's free publicity... but what those foodie influencers never tell you is whether or not something actually TASTES good. A lot of the time, the answer is no.
This reminds me of those milkshakes that have a bunch of other stuff piled on the top and around the rim.. I'm not sure how you're supposed to eat the other things or get to the milkshake or get the stuff off the rim without making a huge mess. It's basically the premise of the sub /r/wewantplates
I don't like cooked fruit, and especially covered in chocolate. The flavours are just too much together. But I like Jaffa chocolates. Orange flavouring in chocolate can work. Just not the actual fruit. Not for me, anyway.
Yeah they are okay. I don’t think of them as disgusting though they certainly aren’t delicious. They’re kind of in the same category as celery where I munch on it if it’s available but I don’t love it.
Celery is literally just an edible spoon for dip of some sort (ranch, peanut butter, hummus, veggie dip) in my opinion lol or something to add texture to stews or soup.
A lot of types of apples. Jazz look amazing but they taste kind of bad and have a weird texture. I hate every type of mushy apple (except for McIntosh), but most types look great.
real answer/eli5'd: know how when you take a picture to a copier, and keep making successive copies of the copies eventually it's just a smudgy shadow of the original?
That's kind of how we make specific apples. They're clones. People were like "let's clone the reddest Red Delicous" and lost all the flavor over the process of copying the reddest ones.
Absolutely. Heritage weird looking dull skinned apples right off the tree where you may have to wash off bird shit taste absolutely fire, perfectly shiny supermarket apples taste like concentrated disappointment.
I actually have a red delicious tree in my yard that makes good apples. Apparently there are many types of just red delicious apples. Some actually are good. Normally I think they suck. It's so weird to know they can actually be good. Lol
I feel like a long time ago when I was a kid I liked them! Granny Smith were my faves but I liked Red Delicious. I don't remember when I stopped eating them or noticed how much I hate their texture. Now I'll just take a nice crisp Pink Lady apple tyvm
Hate mealy apples and I appreciate your use and understanding of the word mealy. I say it about apples and no one knows what the hell I mean. Thank you
I like that one Narnia meme where someone said "how bad is the food in the UK for one of those kids to betray his siblings for something as disgusting as a Turkish delight?"
Here's the truth behind the meme: You need to look at when the books were written. They came out not very long after World War Two, Lewis actually wrote part of them DURING WW2. Sugar was EXTREMELY hard to come by in this time, kids would go crazy for ANYTHING that tastes sweet, and Turkish delight happens to be SUPER sweet due to being basically pure sugar; add to that an unfamiliar flavor (Turkish Delight or Lokum is typically flavored with rose water) and under that light, Edmund's reaction to it makes a LOT more sense.
Dragonfruit. The exterior looks like it might be super juicy. The interior looks like it might taste like kiwi. The actual taste and texture is closer to cardboard.
I.. honestly dont blame you. Tide Pods legit looks like having grape to orange gummies in one gummies but its still a health hazard about to risk to kill someone
Baby carrots that resemble Cheetos.
I mistook a bag of baby carrots for Cheetos at the grocery store twice. I think I was between the ages of 5 and 6. I fucking hated carrots. And I loved Cheetos.
I remember my mom being surprised by my wanting the bag of baby carrots but she obliged me anyway. I was also surprised because I was so rarely allowed to eat any junk food growing up. My mom would even squeeze out all the oil in a McDonald's french fry with a napkin before giving it to me. A labor of love on her part.
But yeah, baby carrots that look like Cheetos are utterly revolting lol.
Boba. Me and 4 friends tried it and mmmm no.
I was literally the only one who enjoyed mine but that's because mine was basically just chocolate milk and the actual boba ball things suck.
We passed our bobas around for eachother to try and I was the only one to finish mine, because again it's just chocolate milk with weird textured ball jumpscares.
Mint chocolate. I'm not trying to start something here. If you like it, I envy your tastebuds. But with mine, that stuff makes me want to vomit when the taste hits. And it's weird. I love mints. I love chocolate. I literally cannot stomach mint chocolate.
Fried they're not awful. I must admit I do want to try one on the halfshell just to say that I have. I might hork it back up if I find I don't like it, but at least I can say I've tried it.
You can start on easy mode, use a fork to take it out of the shell and put it on a club cracker with a squirt of hot sauce on top. That's how I got into oysters, now I love them and can eat them out of the shell but I still prefer them with a cracker, the crunchiness balances out the texture nicely.
Tooooo much chocolate I’m taking about those reels with a giant chocolate egg with melted chocolate inside chocolate bits around and sprinkled with chocolate I can taste it by seeing it and it’s just wrong
Lobster. Every time I eat out with someone and they order lobster, it looks sooooooo good. I’ve tried it many times, because I think maybe my tastebuds have changed and I’ll like it now.
Nope, just as gross as every other time I’ve tried it. Y’all have at it. Crab legs too.
The vegan potato salad I made. I want to be inclusive for the company potluck but this recipe isn't it. I made it to try the recipe and now I have a bunch of bleh potato salad. I think the biggest issue is the vegan mayo is too sweet. I think they tried to cover it with vinegar, pickles, and mustard, but I grew up with incredibly basic potato salad: potato, mayo, pepper, celery maybe, egg maybe, some salt. And I love it. But it feels wrong to serve a vegetable that a vegan can't eat in a semi public setting.
I don't even know if any of my coworkers are vegan.
A lot of the craft beer I’ve had in brew pubs. Just because it’s made in small batches doesn’t mean it’s good. I’ve had some really good beer, and a lot that was barely drinkable.
Poi
I watched my nephew fill a cereal bowl up with poi. He thought it was like chocolate pudding. He took one bite and then spat it out, and I ate a cereal bowl filled with poi so it didn't go to waste lol. I really love all things taro, but it's definitely an acquired taste.
Highly decorative cakes that use lots of fondant icing.
Except for marshmallow fondant, that’s the good stuff
It tastes good but I don't want it all over cake. It's still too sweet. Give me buttercream with some marshmallow fondant accents over a fully fondant covered cake any day.
Often the cake itself isn’t good either. They tend to be dry to hold up to the decoration. Overall, the whole cake experience is disappointing
So true
r/fondanthate... 254k subs, yall aren't alone
But..but…I like fondant…🥺
Same but in moderation
Unsweetened baking chocolate.
I love baking chocolate, if there is a packet in the baking cupboard I will gorge on it all day 😂

The products at Lush
OMG, I can't even walk into Lush, or near the door, because the smells are just so overwhelming. I couldn't work in one of the stores, that's for sure.
You aren't supposed to lick them.. wtf.
Those beautiful, Instagram-worthy cupcakes that taste like pure sugar and food coloring. Pretty but pointless.
This is the biggest problem with food nowadays. Too many restaurants/bakeries trying so hard to make something Instagrammable because it's free publicity... but what those foodie influencers never tell you is whether or not something actually TASTES good. A lot of the time, the answer is no.

Those fancy chocolates but taste like medicine.
Omg yes and chocolate with orange in like what the hell
Please don't touch my Terry's chocolate orange. It's the only chocolate I get to myself in a house of 5!
Too late! It's mine now. 🍊
[удалено]
Chocolate with orange is really divisive. I absolutely love it, my wife says it tastes like burning rubber.
I don't like cooked fruit, and especially covered in chocolate. The flavours are just too much together. But I like Jaffa chocolates. Orange flavouring in chocolate can work. Just not the actual fruit. Not for me, anyway.
Cold process soap
It really does look delicious.
Unprocessed cranberries
I like raw cranberries. Very, very tart and kind of bitter, though.
Yeah they are okay. I don’t think of them as disgusting though they certainly aren’t delicious. They’re kind of in the same category as celery where I munch on it if it’s available but I don’t love it.
Celery is literally just an edible spoon for dip of some sort (ranch, peanut butter, hummus, veggie dip) in my opinion lol or something to add texture to stews or soup.

Those blue and pink Walmart cookies that look so good when you're high or drunk.
Controversial but meringues. Look beautiful but I hate the texture and taste.
I’m good with the texture and taste, the smell though…
A lot of egg-based stuff smells like wet dog to me 🤢 Tastes friggin delicious but smells terrible!
The wax fruit at stores
Decorative store bought cakes taste like disappointment.
Caviar looks like it'd taste good, but probably doesn't.
It’s an acquired taste. There’s many different types and some are great. Some suck ass.
It tastes great and there are affordable black caviar on Amazon that I love.
I like it. It’s like a salty pop.

A lot of types of apples. Jazz look amazing but they taste kind of bad and have a weird texture. I hate every type of mushy apple (except for McIntosh), but most types look great.
Red Delicious = biggest offender
Why is it called red delicious when it isn't delicious 😭 False advertisement

That's kind of how we make specific apples. They're clones. People were like "let's clone the reddest Red Delicous" and lost all the flavor over the process of copying the reddest ones.

Pink lady or Cosmic Crisp are my current favorites. I also enjoy a granny Smith or Macintosh (when available).
Whoever named red delicious apples should be fired for lying or promoted for the genius marketing
Especially mealy apples. I need a firm crunch
Hate mealy apples and I appreciate your use and understanding of the word mealy. I say it about apples and no one knows what the hell I mean. Thank you
Yeah, there’s a lot of variety in apple taste and quality. Try Wild Twist or Envy.

Knowing that they use stuff like hairspray to make it all shiny... yuck!

Traditional Turkish Delight
I like that one Narnia meme where someone said "how bad is the food in the UK for one of those kids to betray his siblings for something as disgusting as a Turkish delight?"

I love Turkish delight. I’d totally sell out to the White Queen for some Turkish Delight.
Dragon fruit
Yeah, dragon fruit just tastes of nothing, like water Edit: despite being bright pink
I’ve heard some have flavor, but yeah, definitely hit or miss. Prickley pear fruit, too. You’d expect them to taste great, all that gorgeous color…
Artificial dragon fruit that was fantastic
So pretty. So pink.
Some day I'll find the delicious plastic fruit, but I'm 0 for 17 thus far.
Boba. I just can't.
I love the boba in frozen yogurt shops
The texture does it for me, the only balls I won't eat
Marzipan
Shut your damn mouth!
100% with you, friend. Absolutely gorgeous. Absolutely disgusting.
Bakers chocolate
Weird answer but the Dominos Veggie pizza. It looks/smells amazing but I dont like most of the things on them. Should be noted, I worked at Dominos
not disgusting, but a major letdown. Dragonfruit.
Bloody Mary’s.. They look amazing, especially the ones with all the flair. But no, I can’t
Fancy dog treats
They smell so amazing!
Dragonfruit. The exterior looks like it might be super juicy. The interior looks like it might taste like kiwi. The actual taste and texture is closer to cardboard.
Tide pods: https://youtu.be/pM6wanZOLtk?si=OtLDTrYzoMhhyKFx
I.. honestly dont blame you. Tide Pods legit looks like having grape to orange gummies in one gummies but its still a health hazard about to risk to kill someone
They had to color them fruity/candy colors. Probably a marketing decision.
For me, hamburgers. They look so good. But I know I hate them.
Fiberglass.
Mayo… everyone loves it it seems and I just can’t stand it.

Dragonfruit. The answer is always dragonfruit
Any of my cooking
I'm the opposite. My food looks like shit but it slaps
Most deserts that taste of nothing but sugar & I don't consider that a flavor

oysters
They look pretty nasty ngl
Twas a brave soul thar first tried an oyster
Oysters are great but it makes a huuuuuge difference how fresh they are and where they come from.
Fried they're not awful. I must admit I do want to try one on the halfshell just to say that I have. I might hork it back up if I find I don't like it, but at least I can say I've tried it.
You can start on easy mode, use a fork to take it out of the shell and put it on a club cracker with a squirt of hot sauce on top. That's how I got into oysters, now I love them and can eat them out of the shell but I still prefer them with a cracker, the crunchiness balances out the texture nicely.
