Sometimes I feel like I’m the only person who does not like ranch flavoring. To a lesser degree, I don’t like apple pie either. Like, if I was served a slice of apple pie and courtesy required me to at least eat a few bites, I would. But I would absolutely not if it was a dish, say, covered in ranch dressing.
I don’t know if this is strictly American (90%) but mine is ketchup. I think it’s sweetly disgusting. If it’s on a burger I can deal but dipping fries into it? Barf
I agree, I can only eat it on hot dogs and that’s because I don’t like hot dogs either.
I’m the opposite, love it on fries with malt vinegar. I won’t let it come within arms length of my burgers though.
Granted I’m Canadian so kraft mac & cheese /w ketchup was instilled into me from birth
I’ve always been curious about malt vinegar on fries! I need to try it sometime.
Oh, macaroni & cheese is a good one for my “dislike but popular in the US” list.
I don’t absolutely hate it, and there are some types that are more-palatable. But the texture is disappointing, just feels slimy. I don’t like the amount of liquid left behind. The flavor isn’t something I like. Not a good use for pasta, in my book.
I didn’t eat it growing up — not on my comfort food list, though it is for many — and maybe that’s what causes that. I’d probably do spaghetti with meat sauce or tuna noodle casserole as my “inexpensive comfort food” instead.
We call it kraft dinner up here because that’s what it says on the box, and no one actually considers it “mac & cheese”, but we eat more of it than any other country in the world none-the-less
This may be a regional thing but I’ve literally never experienced liquid left behind unless I intentionally quadruple the milk to make it soupy on purpose (yes, that is also a thing we do). Also the Canadian generic store brand is like a million times better than the name-brand kraft stuff
Yeah i have no idea what he’s talking about and I’m from America.
Primal Kitchen has some good ketchup, both “Unsweetened” and “A Tad Sweet” are normal levels of sweet. To the point where I’ve seen little kids that are used to the liquid sugar style exclaim “This ketchup tastes sour!” and refuse to eat it
AGREED!! Home-made ketchup is great though. But Americans basically like red, liquid sugar, and that’s just dis-fucking-gusting!
You’re not alone. I also don’t care for ketchup on anything. Though I have dipped fries in BBQ sauce, so maybe that’s equally gross.
I think you meant to say “delicious” there 😉
Same. I won’t ask for someone to not put it on in the burger, but I’m not going near the any fries that have seen ketchup.
As a kid I definitely liked it. As an adult, it’s way too sweet.
