One I could never quite understand is the (generally) AWFUL (and usually VERY dry) sheet cake that somebody always seems to bring to a party, with that ATROCIOUS, overly-sweet, and HORRIFICALLY BAD frosting, that almost always seems to have the consistency of a very stiff, commercial grade spackle. Once in a while, you come across one that is made with a frosting that is actually edible (or, heaven forbid, actually decent!).....but it's rare, and in those cases only serves to make what is usually a VERY average, to below-average cake (somewhat) more palatable......though still not TRULY 'good'.         ![]()       Anybody else ??  SAVE FERRIS |

Great post!  I, certainly, agree with your comments. But, I have a suspicion that most people dislike those cakes ... dry, and flavorless cake, with an attempt to compensate with overly sweet icing ... but, don't say anything because of the celebratory nature of the occasion when eating them is a "must." |

I usually find its the icing that is terrible, when I'm in a situation when I have to eat these sheet cakes, I just remove the icing then the cake is ok, just not great.

Wings...
Those chicken appetizers that you can get that come coated with various flavored sauces...
Don't get me wrong. I am not saying that they don't taste good...
But, they are fucking "Wings"!
The worst part of the chicken, because there is no meat on them. They are so pointless to eat.
Yes, I guess, that is why there are so many of them.
But why couldn't the phenomenon have been associated with Legs/Drumsticks?
There, now I have had my little rant!
Thanks for reading.
LOL!

"Pasta salad." Understand that I love pasta, fresh from the boiling salted water, and mixed with a sauce - however, simple or involved. But, cold pasta, with cold vegetables, just doesn't cut it.

A sheet cake is usually good if the whole thing is homemade. Not Betty Crocker cake mix and Betty Crocker icing in a can.
Octopus is delicious - especially grilled.
I don't understand tomato soup or pumpkin pie. Or poutine. Or ribs.

I agree Nuts, Arby's doesn't look or taste like real food, just thinly sliced sheets of plastic. I remember decades ago when Arby's was real beef and that was the only sandwich they served. |

Although it's probably one of the most popular pizza toppings, Pepperoni is something I just can't stand.
Also never understood those plain, white shortbread cookies. So boring! But I guess a lot of people like them, because they're ubiquitous in stores' cookie aisles.

SAVE FERRISUm, no....I'm a pro baker. I have turned non-cake people into I LOVEEEEE your cakes people  . Mushrooms on the other hand disgust me. My brother used to make fun of me, Because I could always tell when someone was cooking with them by the horrendous odor. He would laugh & say they don't have any smell. Right, I can smell them with this Sicilian schnozz of mine. Yuk! |
