Pretty much all frozen vegetables are also gross. The only exception I can think of is edamame.
Microwaving vegetables is gross. Steaming vegetables is mostly gross (with a very few exceptions, such as edamame and Chinese peapods). Vegetables should be sauteed in butter or oil.
In general, people should never go more than three days without visiting the grocery store. Much better to buy as you use. Use the small basket, not the big carts. Eating fresh is best.
Butter and ice cream from the Midwest (Ohio, Michigan, Wisconsin) taste shockingly better than they do on the East Coast. Store brands of these items in the Midwest knock "national" brands out of the park.
American cheese (e.g. Kraft singles) is revolting.

Mahout your mouth. Mango and sticky rice is one of the best desserts ever.
Do they mean Asian minus Indian? I love Indian sweets.
Asia is a huge continent, that pp is really kind of ignorant. Good baklava is divine, and there are a lot of other really good middle eastern desserts as well.
Got crucified for this opinion on the other post.. lol

NJ resident here. Jersey food is awesome! My friend would always take a huge bag of bagels back to college in WV with her. DC bagels and pizza are blah to put it mildly.
Agree—I live in NoVa and can find good bagels here, but they still aren’t as good as the bagels from my hometown in South Jersey. And lots of luck finding a pork roll, egg, and cheese around here (though I have found it in Harrisonburg of all places). As for the pizza, there are more good places in my hometown of 10,000 than all of NoVa. And don’t even get me started on cheesesteaks.

haha me too! I do not do potlucks--I eat what I made because I trust my standard of food preparation and cleanliness and I pretend to eat everything else, unless store bought. lol. Why do people like potlucks?? They're disgusting.
Imagine thinking the pre-cut deli tray from Costco is in any way cleaner or safer to eat than a friend or family member’s home cooked food. It is probably 100x more likely to give you a food born illness.
Indeed. Machines making/cutting food in places where tons of food are processed = pest and bacteria palooza. Rats actually advertise raves at such processing facilities. Furthermore, uptight people like that are just painful to be around. So neurotic. So unjustified. So awful.
Some of us know the people making potluck food. These are the same people that leave their food in the office refrigerator until it turns into a science experiment, and don't wash their hands after going to the bathroom. No thank you.

Ketchup, mayo and ranch are trashy.
Anything but a thin layer of frosting makes me gag.
