Is this on plain white bread? I have green olives w/pimentos in fridge, do I eat them with PB with pimentos? I'm willing to give this a try this evening. I love Olives and PB, but the idea of the tastes together is not sitting well in my mind but will try and report back.

Pumpkin pie is the saddest excuse for dessert and probably was the inspiration for the phrase not worth the calories. Stuffing is equally disgusting, yes let chop up bread and soak it in chicken broth so it tastes like wadded up bread.


Ooh, I am with you! I have hated Thanksgiving food since I was a kid. I mostly load up on apps on Thanksgiving because the meal is never appetizing. And no, it doesn't matter who cooks it or if it's at the Four Seasons, it's all bad.

I feel exactly the same about stuffing and pumpkin pie 😂

Wow, I haven’t been bothered by anything so far, but olive, pb together in a sandwich is a bit much! How did you discover this?

Lemon, done wrong, tastes like Pledge.

Re lemon
DH and I once took an impromptu trip to the Grand Canyon around Xmas. We were young and wanted to drink but almost nothing was open. We found a cvs or something and they had lemon Smirnoff on sale (clearance I think) for $5 - we couldn’t believe our luck, 5$ for a whole bottle! My gosh it literally tastes like doing shots of lemon pledge lol. I usually love lemon but that put me off for a long while.

I love a little levity to start the day! Okay, here’s my unpopular food opinion: pineapple on pizza is delicious and anyone who disagrees is just missing out. It’s the perfect balance of sweet and savory. 😄


Agreed! Our family's standard order is bacon, pineapple, and jalapeno. Yum.


Oooh, I like this!

Pancakes are not that great.
Crepes, for some reason, I like much better.

For my part, I'm sick of every "nice" date night atmosphere restaurant around here being "New American" or "elevated Southern" or whatever. I'm not that interested in your roasted half chicken with green beans for $45 or your burger for $25. Seems like the menus are all the same and the desserts are really boring lately - "flight of three" miniscule scoops of ice cream, bread pudding, Smith Island cake.


I don't disagree, but just don't go to those places! So much more interesting food out there.

Every slice of Smith Island cake I've ever had is dry. I guess it has to be dry in order to have such thin slices?

Agreed. Such a strong weird taste.

If you eat any meat, I don't think this is a very compelling argument.

Guess I'm an 8 yr old trapped in a 48 yr old body. I eat hot dogs less than once every five years, but when I do, I want ketchup on mine.


I love the odd costco hotdog as a rare guilty treat. I put ketchup, mustard AND relish on it.
