Abominations of the food industry

[Teoes]

Sugar in tea. It's wrong, just wrong! Tea is not meant to be a sweet drink, although I'm not counting tchai in this.

I'm also quite partial to orphan stew when I can find some cheap.

I thought cheap orphans were the only orphans?

 

[Atmos Duality]

This damn thing.

Spoiler

I ate one slice, while hungrier than hell, and turned the rest down. And it was offered for FREE.
I'm not a terribly pick guy, but even I could not stand putting that fakey crap in my mouth.
It was the most fake tasting food I've ever put in my mouth (not nastiest, fake).

As for their claim, they're probably the "best selling" because they're literally like 2 bucks each. They're not worth it even at that rate.

BAD: Vegetarian cheese. Some people claim that American cheese is not cheese. I say to you that this is not so, as it is made from milk and goes through the curdling process which makes cheese, as would any cheese of the world. Discussion ends there. What is NOT cheese and NOT fit for consumption is a so-called cheese that has nothing to do with dairy products whatsoever, nor does it taste anything like cheese at all. I can't think what vegetarians would eat this, since I KNOW they can make their not-animal-based foods actually taste GOOD. Don't call something cheese if you can't even get the taste right. That's all I'm saying.

GOOD: Spam.

Foods which should never be made: Corndogs. Okay, they don't taste that bad but a hot dog sausage battered and fried in oil? If that isn't a crime against healthy eating I don't know what is.

Screw that healthy eating bullshit. If people want to clog their arteries with unhealthy crap than by god that's their right and no one should be able to tell them otherwise.

<-----------Still bitter that California banned trans fats in restaurants.

I have to agree that as people we should be allowed to eat whatever we want without Big Brother telling us what is and isn't good for us. BTW, California is full of control freak nutjobs running the place. All you need is a full on militant anti-carnivore vegan Senator/Congressperson/Governer out there and you'll be crossing the border everytime you want a steak. Granted those awful smelling cow farms that stretch between LA and the SF Bay area would go away...

Turkey and Dressing flavored soda. Why the hell that even exists is beyond my ability to comprehend.

I'm of the opinion that if something "unhealthy" is eaten in moderation, it probably ain't gonna kill you. Sorry, but I've heard so much of the "Health Nazi" crap lately that I'm close to eating handfuls of lard just to spite them.

And before someone jumps on me, my favorite veggies are Brussels sprouts and peas, so bite me.

Depends on the breed and condition, for example your well-fed American orphan is much more valuable than a bony Somalian orphan, buying the former in bulk however can slash the price enough to make it worthwhile.

Those little mexican candies that look like normal hard candies but have chili powder on the inside... MY GOD. I've only ever seen them used to prank people, yet I've only HEARD people say they actually do like them. I don't. Chili powder by itself is "echk!" to me, but having it bust through the metaphorical walls of my metaphorical sweet, happy taste room like a metaphorical Kool-aid man is just cruel! It's like a punch in the face! Mexico, Y U DO DIS?

Incidentally, I think french fries are at their second best taste-wise when they've been left out for a few hours and have gotten a touch stale, soggy, and cool. I'm eating some right now. Am I weird?

 

[piinyouri]

I eat a decent number of frozen meals fairly often and have gotten very proficient at knowing which ones will actually taste good.

Banquet, is NOT one of them.

Literally everything they make is flat tasting, under cooked doughy yuck.

Coloured ketchup is one of the worst products that was ever made. Your eyes influence your sense of taste but I swear if I were blindfolded this stuff would still taste like an abomination of ketchup. Watching someone put this stuff in their Kraft Dinner would nearly bring me to tears thinking of that vile combination of flavours. The green and purple ketchups should have never been a thing, ever. Meanwhile in China, I tried some of the more unusual flavours of chips available. Lemon tea chips? BLUEBERRY CHIPS? *CUCUMBER CHIPS*?! I tried the cucumber chips and they were kind of minty tasting. Not as bad as the aforementioned ketchup, but strange nonetheless.

I can't get my boyfriend to enjoy jellyfish, but it's one of my favourites on the Chinese cold cut platter. It's one of those things along with eating chicken feet that makes a lot of people raise a brow in my direction, but I enjoy both. Thin-sliced pig's feet is also good but I don't enjoy it as a solid hock. Moving away from the strangeness that is traditional Chinese food, I legitimately enjoy gummy candy on frozen yogurt. Yes, I am that strange person who desperately wants gummy bears as a topping for ice cold foods.

Found a cheddar dip once for tortillas. Smelled and tasted like plastic barf. Assuming it was some kind of American cheddar since it was the extremely orange kind. Actually, anything American is disgusting. Tried Mountain Dew after all the praise it gets from the internet and found it to be nothing but vitamin-C water and a shitload of sugar. Also tried some coke(strange brand) that must've been at least 60% sugar.

As for foods I like I'd say the Swedish kaviar pastry. It's liked by most Swedes, but the contents sound really foul: fish eggs, tomato paste, sugar and potato flakes. Can't think of anything better right now.

Spoiler

I'm spending my first Christmas broad in Sweden, staying with my girlfriend, and that caviar-in-a-tube thing is so weird to me. Admittedly it isn't bad but caviar in my mind is that expensive thing served in miniscule portions in fancy restaurants. I have a preconception that any food squirted out of a tube isn't tasty (like that 'cheese' you can buy in a tube) so whereas I actually quite like the taste of caviar paste, I don't really enjoy eating it all too much

I wish I had a chocolate bar that tasted like plastic. I ran into a bacon chocolate bar that I bought from Bevmo because I was stupid.

http://www.vosgeschocolate.com/product/bacon_exotic_candy_bar/exotic_candy_bars

The bacon not only tasted spoiled, but burnt as well.

I couldn't even touch it after a single nibble.

Yorkie bars sound pretty good after having a bacon bar.

Oh man. The packaging even makes it looks like something you'd dislodge with a colon cleansing.

Hope you won't have a bad time then. We got a shitload of condiments in tube form. Heard from another Englishman that it was quite foreign to him.

Have any of you lot heard of hunger breaks? They make meals in tins and pots. No, not like sausages and beans. Entire gambits at meals.

First, we have their "all day breakfast in a can" which consists of jellified sausages and meatballs with rubbery egg chunks in them, floppy and slimy "bacon" and miniscule button mushrooms all floating in weak, watery beans.

And let's not forget their pasta thing. Which tastes more like low quality dog food than anything else.

AVOID

 

[Barbas]

Oh, I thought of another one. I went into a supermarket in Wales once that was selling sandwiches with egg, cheese and ham in them. I'm not usually a fan of cheese with egg, but in this case it was absolutely foul.

I don't know why I thought it was a good idea at the time. To this day, I blame temporary insanity.

 

[lacktheknack]

Good first: "Canada on a Stick", which is Canadian Bacon fried in maple syrup. It's wonderful.

True abomination:

[Redlin5_v1legacy]

I don't know how Americans can justify it but CHEESE DOES NOT BELONG IN A CAN.

That is an abomination of all things cheddar!

I used to eat those chili coated lollipops all the time. Its in the shape of a corn and its covered in chili powder but the sweet part taste like strawberry flavor. I get them or anything like it whenever I can.

OT: Cream cheese in sushi. Whoever started this needs to apologize to the world right now. Surströmming. Never actually eaten the stuff but from what I understand its just vile.
I love steak-ums though. Its basically frozen philly cheese steak meat. It tastes so good but I would imagine its terrible for you. Setting it down a paper towel after cooking will soak the whole thing in grease and still have enough for two more paper towels. It just taste so good.

 

[legend of duty]

I tried drinking a Monster and my body rejected it like poison.

 

[Silvanus]

Several things have been mentioned that I really like, including Yorkie bars, vanilla Coke, and tea with sugar.

Anywho, OT: I really dislike pistachio, coconut, and anything flavoured after either of them. Disgusting. Especially pistachio ice cream.
