Agree with the pp who is meh about grilled food. I don't think it is bad, but it is nothing special, and definitely not worth the work and cleanup involved. I feel the same way about barbecue. It's just okay. People rave about their regional barbecue and it's never anything noteworthy. If I had to pick a type of barbecue, Korean would be my choice, though.
Chopped salad is disgusting. I like each element of the salad to be distinct. I don't want it to look and taste like someone barfed it up. The best vanilla ice cream is Breyer's natural vanilla. All the superpremium.and fancy stuff is too heavy and fatty to me. All Mexican food in the U S. tastes the same to me. Even Rick Bayless' food was just a better seasoned version of the standard fare. Persian lime pie tastes better than key lime pie. |

If you have to eat some extremely processed, chemically enhanced version of a food because you can't or won't tolerate the real thing (i.e. impossible meat, oatmilk, fake cheese) -- just eat something else.

I'm south asian and have been told my whole life that having dairy with seafood would cause some sort of horrible skin disease- i thought it was leprosy! haha its just melasma, so typical from my skin color obsessed elders. |

This probably has some (remote) basis in truth. Oxalates, which are found in spinach, combined with vitamin c, found in tomatoes, can exacerbate kidney stones. I doubt the amounts one would eat in single dish would matter much though. |

Totally. I've hated it since I was a kid. It's all just super boring and bland, and yes I have been "challenged" by people who swear THEIR traditional Thanksgiving food isn't bland. It all is. I hope their are some decent sides or opt out altogether by traveling over Thanksgiving somewhere where they don't celebrate Thanksgiving. |

Cheese quesadillas are immensely improved by incorporating natural peanut butter.
Fight me. |

Fruit and chocolate do not belong together.
Canned tuna tastes better than tuna steak. |

Who would really eat a little lamb. It’s basically a puppy. |

Disgusting! I can't stand lamb, nor mint! I grew up with it. But, I am allergic to diary, which might explain why I would throw up after eating any of it. I did not know that long ago that I was allergic to it, and had to eat what we had. |

Not when tuna is fresh caught and put on a flame right away. |

Some of the dishes can be bland, for sure. But tell me what is "bland" about, say, roasted brussels with pancetta, good olive oil, balsamic glaze, and fresh parm.you may not like it, but you can't lazily say it is bland. |

The worst part about Thanksgiving dinner is the turkey. Very few people actually enjoy it - and I can prove it.
Roast turkey is one of the easiest dinners to make, and it feeds a ton of people for a long time. Despite this, a vanishingly small number of people actually roast a turkey any tome other than Thanksgiving. Why? No one is really excited about it. Oh, and my homemade stuffing, passed down from my grandmother, is the best there is. Very simple, no expensive ingredients, but it's the best. |

| Chicken and turkey—no matter how they’re prepared—are disgusting. |
