Foods you love to hate and hate to love!

Title says it all!

I hate to love this spanish rice my mom made. She went WAY overboard with the cayenne pepper, but it's SO GOOD, even while it burns all the way down to my stomach! :O And I cannot stop eating it. It buuuuurrrns!!!


So! Share the foods you love to hate and hate to love!

HMM I guess that would be the bbq dinners from a local korean bbq spot mostly the bbg chicken served extra spicey its awesome but the spiciness doesn't hit you until your a few bites in but once you realize it, it's too late. lol. Ma i can't wait until this weekend to go back. Not to mention the Sake (and yes I know Sake is Japanese not Korean before someone comments) man I am hungry now. booh.

Mine's along different lines than yall's spicy stuff, but for me it's country fried
steak smothered in gravy. So good but so unhealthy... That or fried Oreos

I'll say General Tso's Chicken...SO delicious but SO unhealthy, far worse than you would even expect...

There is a Mexican Place down the street that serves chili rellenos man re the so good but so spicy!

Fried oreos?? I never would have thought of that! How do you fry them? Like...deep fried, or just barely toasty on a mostly dry pan? Or battered?

Lmao yep deep fried.. They don't look good, but they are. I've only had one once cause, ya know, damn. That's a bite-size heart attack right there

*grin* Gonna be totally honest with you, but it sounds really nasty.

Fried Rice.

I'm picky and there aren't alot of good places for it. The closest High quality fried rice is half an hour away from me.

roasted pork shoulder, smothered in onions & peppers.

Chicken dipper/nugget things and sweet chilli sauce. Its soooo bad but soooooo good.

Bacon piled on white toast with lots of mayo!

Love to Hate: Okra in any shape way or form.

Hate to Love: Icecream. Its soooooo good.

EDIT by JLC:

Matt...if you want to get hit with a rather large infraction, then you go ahead and keep posting about this. I'm sorry if I did not make the last infraction clear enough for you. We do not want to hear about this sort of thing...period.

And ~I~ gave you that infraction...not BPElizabeth. If you have a dispute with a mod, you need to bring it to an admin to discuss it. Bringing it up in public is NOT the way to handle it. But since you did, I'll let you know that I TOLD her to give that other infraction...she did not simply choose to do it because she has some sort of vendetta against you.

Ok well after all that maybe this thread needs a little help;) Sorry for the drama....move along nothing to see...:D

ANYWAYS....

My favorite...well I have two and they are both really terrible for you.

Fettucini Alfredo (and yes you have to use the real cream)
Brie with butter and garlic

aww....can you feel the heart attack now...:P

My mom makes homemade Fettucini Alfredo that is to die for. It is soooo creamy and good. I think I might call her up today and ask if she could make some tomorrow and invite me over to dinner. :D

ahhh it is the greatest thing ever..totally the cure all for me..oye...I think I know what I am making for dinner now. :D

Mine is a jalapeno burger I make. The trick is to mix the peppers in with the beef before grilling them and it brings out the most amazing flavor. I try to take it easy a make some mild burgers for my friends that don't like spicy but sometime I miss. We joke that the burger flavors are mild (can barely taste the peppers) and oh god (raging pepper explosion.)

I would PM you about this, Judy, but I think the whole of the forum should hear about this.

You don't want to hear about that sort of thing? So you're abolishing part of a nation's culture because..? It's gross to you? Unheard of, unsanitary maybe?

I am going to go ahead and label that kind of censoring as discriminating and offensive. I'm trying to spice this thread up (pun intended) a little bit with some interesting culture and I get shot down for posting something interesting.

And I'm sorry for mixing up the infractions; I know for a fact that my other thread could have been worded better but if your censors don't go off, what did I do wrong? I'm sorry that I actually get to see people in the act of making love when field herping (trust me, I'm sorry, it was not very pleasant), but there's no need to infract me subsequently.

Later, Matt

Matt, this is a FAMILY FRIENDLY site....a site where children are welcomed and encouraged to participate. A site that parents expect to be safe for them to browse without them having to stop and answer awkward questions. A site where I, as a mother, would not look over my child's shoulder and go wide-eyed and have to ask "WHAT THE HECK ARE YOU READING???"

So no....there are certain subjects that we are not going to discuss in public. There are PLENTY of topics that are acceptable or "normal" in some foreign culture or another that would be considered impolite (at best) or abhorrent (at worst) to most other cultures. OUR culture is what we cater to and what we will use to draw our lines about what is acceptable to discuss here. It has nothing to do with judging any culture's beliefs as right or wrong either...just appropriate for discussion around children.

The auto-censor system is NOT what we use to judge infractions...and we have never implied that it is. It is a TOOL to help keep certain obvious words from showing up when they are typed out...nothing more. Even at that, it is an imprecise and imperfect tool for doing that job. It would be utterly impossible to somehow auto-censor out whole sentences or ideas. You are a very intelligent young man, and I have no doubt that you can understand the concept of controlling what you choose to discuss. If you find the family-friendly boundaries of this site too confining for you, I'm sure you will find any number of other sites less restrictive.

for me it's raw foods... i don't know what it is... raw fish, eel, rare steaks, slightly undercooked chicken and pork loin... it's awesome! especially with the right blend of spices or searing on a grill.

my other vice is hot peppers... i'm to the point where habaneros barely bother me. give me a savina or a jolokia!

Judy,

Read over your post and please understand your complete butchering of other cultures.

There are more people than just Americans here, and I'm sure they'd feel highly unwelcome.

Later, Matt

I really hate bacon, and I love that I hate it, because it is so unhealthy. It is easy for me to go overboard on chocolate, though.... but I don't completely hate that I love it!

I hate to love fried chicken :oops:

Pretty much because how unhealthy it is ;)

Matt, this discussion is done here. If you feel some compulsive need to continue it, you may PM me...or if you must do so in public, you may start a thread in QT. And anyone who feels that I somehow "butchered" all the other cultures of the world can feel free to join in.

If you post any more disruptions in this thread, or anywhere else, you will be infracted and the post deleted.

Mmmm I love me some sweet tea..that's how my granny made it, sugar with a little water and tea!

I don't do spicy stuff, my poor tummy can't take it. The food I love to hate; White Castle hamburgers. They are soooo good going down, but oohhhh the misery afterwards!


The food I hate to love; do I have to pick just one? Homemade fried chicken, with mashed potatoes and gravy, biscuits and sweet corn dripping with butter.
Biscuits and sausage gravy, fried catfish and hushpuppies, hot fudge sundaes dripping with thick, rich fudge sauce; lemon meringue pie, with an inch of meringue on top. Cadbury's caramel eggs, I love chocolate and caramel.

I could go on and on.

I'm ashamed to admit it...KFC Hot Wings....
Popeye's Fried Chicken....I LOVE fried Chicken, its gonna be the death of me:rolleyes:

5 Guys Burgers + small fry....which they fill up to the top of the bag.
