Out of the three upsetting threads I visit (aug, idiots on social media, and this one) this one is almost always the most upsetting.


The thought of mayo icecream is, at the very least, perturbing. Pretending otherwise is morally wrong.


I will agree that it is a nasty unfrozen custard. To freeze it only increases nastiness.

As someone who's all about frozen custard, at least the Wisconsin kind, I shudder to think what similarities it shares with mayo, speaking as someone who loves one and hates the other.

Beets taste like straight up dirt to me. I don't necessarily mind that in small quantities, but does it taste that way to everyone else, or is it like cilantro?

I only know like 50% of whatever they’re listing in the song they used to promote this thing but the one that confused me the most was Cheerios. What is so special about Cheerios to New Zealand that they included it as a national identifier?

Some do, some don't. Pickled ones never do in my experience. I get vac-packed, pre-cooked ones all the time and depending on where I get them, they can be very earthy or really sweet and tender. Annoyingly, there's no way of telling from looking - small ones can be really muddy and great big ones really sweet.

Beets are like dirt flavored candy that you can use to dye your food and bowel movements a lovely shade of red. This is an endorsement of beets.

I'm 99% people who say beets taste like dirt have just never had beets cooked well. Kinda like how I grew up eating well done steak and so I thought it tasted like garbage until I was an adult.

A Cheerio is a cocktail sausage, also known as a Saveloy , except smaller. When your parents used to send you to the butchers to get meat, if you were good, they'd give you a cheerio for free. Also they were a hit at childrens birthday parties, and taste great dipped in some tomato sauce (not ketchup).

Edit – You may not like it, but this is what peak cheerios looks like:

Fun fact: the chemical responsible for the earthy taste in Beetroots is geosmin. This chemical is given off by bacteria that live in healthy soil and is also the main constituent of petrichor, or the ‘smell of rain’ which you smell after rain hits dry earth.
Humans love the smell of geosmin but many hate the taste.

Raw beets are absolutely dirt-flavored. Pickling them or slow-cooking them tends to get that flavor right out.

Some people like earthy flavors. I tend towards having a sweet tooth, so those flavors always are way too bitter or bland for me, depending. :shrug:

The dirt flavor keeps me away from beets most of the time too. The one time I've had and really enjoyed beets was at a Greek restaurant in South Philly that served them with a garlic sauce that complimented them really well and masked or neutralized the dirt flavor.

I've only ever had pickled beets, and they always taste like dirt. Not necessarily unpleasantly, but unmistakeably.

Fentiman’s Dandelion & Burdock soda kinda straddles the line between earthy and sweet, it’s an interesting flavor; having a sweet tooth that is becoming bitter with age and, well, bitterness, I like it quite a bit. I don’t get it very often though because it’s still soda and I’m trying to minimize my intake thereof.

That's a shame, that dude looks cool.









French toast rice crispy strips and a Peanut onion sandwich: Left side is butter and cracked pepper, right side is peanut butter, mayo, sliced onion, and sriracha, all on toasted bread. Put together and eat.

And this one is just because this is also the food fad thread and it seems novel.

You do not have to be good. You only have to let the soft animal of your body love what it loves.

Sausage looked p good except who pours raw blood over a nice blood sausage ready to serve? Fuckin’ nobody, that’s who. White people with instagrams. Stop with the dramatics and just eat your drat dinner.

Vegans. Jesus.


E: like I want to be clear here, if meat is only shocking or gross to you when served in its own blood, maybe your veganism is performative and squeamish

I got a little tube in my breakfast on a ferry to Gotland but it was still like 3x what any sane person should put on a single meal. I'd probably get a tube if there was an Ikea nearby.
