what food did you anticipate then find failing?

[strollingbones]

what food have you looked forward to eating only to find that you didnt like said food?

 

[strollingbones]

beignets would be mine......how could you not like a bit of fried dough covered in powdered sugar..they were heavy ....just plain heavy....

which is sad i always look forward to going to new orleans and of course everyone who is new wants to go to the cafe du monde and its not like you can order anything else.

 

[L.K.Eder]

i was kind of disappointed by truffles.

 

[strollingbones]

fungi truffles or chocolate truffles.....you got to be more specific damn it

white or black truffles..and why....what did you think it would taste like and how did it taste

how the hell can anyone not like chocolate truffles?

[Mr. H.]

Lark's tongue in aspic.

Seriously, years ago sis really talked up the Red Velvet Cake at a particular restaurant.
Ugh. It was like chewing on shag carpet.

 

[Ravi]

Scallops.

 

[Ropey]

Caviar and Oysters on the Raw Half-Shell.

The Caviar tasted like a salt lick to me and the Oysters only tasted of the lemon and felt as if I was swallowing a large greeny.

Both were a one time thing.

Now Oysters Rockefeller is another story.

 

[iamwhatiseem]

Scallops.

What the...seriously?
Can I ask where you had them?
Scallops are fantastic...your not talking about those horrible little ones you find at a freakin WalMart in a frozen bag are you?

 

[Sunni Man]

Once I was at the International Store and bought some Brie cheese from France.

That has to be the worst tasting nasty cheese ever made.

Yuck and double yuck!!

 

[rdean]

cocaine.

I thought it was some kind of chocolate Christmas candy. It made me nervous and my nose itch.

 

[Mr. H.]

I've got a jar in the pantry, Hearts of Palm. Been there 2 years.
I'm afraid to open it.

 

[Sunni Man]

cocaine.

I thought it was some kind of chocolate Christmas candy. It made me nervous and my nose itch.

So I take it rdean that cocaine was the gateway drug that lead you to your addiction to LSD and other psychedelics that continues even today?

Now I am beginning to understand why you post the bizarre and non sensical way that you do.

 

[earlycuyler]

Ramen noodles and candy bars. When the folks where still married we kids were not allowed to eat candy or junk food. I was 7 when I got my first bowl of ramen for dinner and a candy bar for dessert. It was like sex, lots of hoopla, and fun and all but not what I expected.

Next time wash it down with some decent wine. You won't believe the wonderful flavors.

 

[MeBelle]

Fat-free potato chips.
Fried in Olestra??

They didn't taste all that great and the after effects were...um...not so pleasant either.
