Five seconds ago it was snowing; now the sun is trying to come out.
Even the weather moves fast and is slightly schizzy in New York.
Mrs. Mogul had a post yesterday on the difference between sandwiches in London and New York.
It began me thinking about how I’m probably the only New Yorker, maybe American, who hates bagels. My mother had a thing for buying perfectly good bagels, freezing them at once, and waiting until they had freezer burn to serve them.
I could never understand that as she was an excellent cook who froze everything, yes, most women of her generation did, but bagels were the only thing that she’d freezer burn. Since she liked them toasted until they were burnt. We had an ongoing debate about bagels.
Just wondering what foods people are supposed to like but don’t. And if it was your parents who started you on the road to not loving it.
i don’t like bagels either. or mayonaisse.
i can’t stand mayonaisse or rice.
We can thank grandma for forcefeeding me rice as a child.
Sometimes I wish there were foods I didn’t like.
I cant stand ketchup and cheese. Ketchup just grosses me out period. And my extent of eating cheese is melted on a pizza. So I can be very picky with my burgers!
Hey thanks for your shout out Pia! Whaaa?? You are the only one that doesnt like bagels I know..
I hate MARMITE! and ummm..MISS NY PIZZAAAAAA
and its snowing there again? Its almost spring!
I hate ketchup. I can tell you why, too. As I kid I was forced to eat foods I didn’t like (starving children doncha know). I would smother the food in ketchup just so I could choke it down.
I also don’t like raisins or applesauce.
I can’t stand peanut butter, which is confusing to my parents because they both love it. I don’t think I’ve ever liked it. I can sometimes tolerate the natural kind, but usually, I just have to stay away from it completely.
Hey pia,
I hate the meat at tacobell, millions of other people like it. So why don’t I?
Thanks for coming by the blog. The new job is good, I’m a private care nurse with a new patient. But i graduated recently with a BA in tv/radio, better known as communications, lol. Perhaps thats one of those degress with unrealistic job goals?
Sweet Pia,
I don’t like small oily fish. I like salted fish, brandade. I love seafood, but I gag at the sight of a hairy fish. Bring some shorts to the left coast, it’s taosty and sunny.
Wax beans. Later, even the dog wouldn’t eat them… Worse than that is a “delicacy” I will have to blog about. Parents should never force their kids to eat anything unless it’s a case of life or death, literally.
Personally, I think vegetables kill people. It’s a known fact that everyone who ate a vegetable 150 years ago is dead now. It’ my theory that if you never eat a vegetable in your life you’ll live forever and I intend to fully test this theory out when I have kids.
Ignorance is not the enemy; vegetables are.
Hey, just passing via BE.
lol mojo! I think you and ran from noreligionnow.com would get along VERY well!
My family all loved “rice sausage” and cooked it at every get together. To this day, I cannot stand the thought of it much less the look or smell of it. gag.
We are the only animals on this planet who enjoy eating any food that is detrimental to health and find most all veggies worthy of neglect.
Oy vey iz mir, Pia, you live in the ONLY place in the world to get bagels and don’t? And here I am in suburban D.C., just LONGING for the real thing!
As I’ve admitted countless times, I detest one of the most Jewish of Jewish foods, gefilte fish. Just the smell alone turns me off of it. Nor do I like the borscht my parents eat–beets don’t appeal to me, especially in soup!
Taste is such a subjective thing, really…..
i hate peas. when i was a kid i wasn’t allowed to leave the table unless i’d eaten up all my peas, so i’d swallow them whole cos i hated the way they taste.
i do love bagels, though.
I’ll eat about anything. not counting the stuff those reality show hAVE PEOPLE EATING OF COURSE. Ooops caps lock – Any way about the only food I will refuse to eat in any way, shape or form is lima beans…
I forgot that the first time I saw beets i threw them off the table. My feelings haven’t changed.
hate herring except for kippurs which I didn’t know was herring until a few years ago.
And all luncheon type meats–with a vengance. Anchovies too
Oy, yes! Prior comment forgot to mention detestable borscht or red beets in any form. Ugh!
