Iโm down with carbon, oxygen, phosphorous, and all these other nice elements, but you mix them together in just the right way and you get my ex girlfriend.
potato salad is fucked up. How could you possibly take eggs and potatoes and think pickles is what you need to tie it all together?
They are! Without pickles a potato salad tastes bland but a pivkle or few gives it a sour third note and it is amazing!
It's quite possibly the WASPiest food in existence. A dish devised to showcase the wonders of 
in all its grandeur.
Let me confess that I didn't actually eat this, so maybe it actually whipped ass. Once a friend ran for donuts and I asked them to pick something up for me. They came back with a donut with maple icing and bacon bits sprinkled on top.
The sight and smell were so upsetting to me that I shoved it in my purse when no one was looking and never got around to trying it.
Maple doughnuts with bacon bits are FANTASTIC! I was leery at first, but they truly rock.
I might just have a weird aversion to meat and sweets, because I also mentioned thinking jelly on a sausage biscuit was gross once, and no one agreed.

Non native english speaker here, not trying to have an argument but to learn.
Is it correct to use "whose" in this context?
I kinda thought "whose" was meant to refer to a person and not an object, but really I don't know.
Though I'd use something like "of which" or whatever else instead.
(Or just do what I do and rephrase it so you don't need to bother with this syntax to begin with.)
"What is a dish where each individual component you like, but when combined together become a dish you think is nasty?"
In this context, "whose" works fine, on the basis that almost no other options work at all outside of completely rewriting the question.
I personally would just switch it out for "with" instead; it does slightly reframe the phrase but doesn't change the question itself.
outside of completely rewriting the question.
Doesn't require much rewriting tbh
"the component parts of which"
that's fair!
I'm not a native English speaker either but I've spoken English from a young age. "Whose" is used to denote belonging, not necessarily personhood, which can be confusing as "who" does denote personhood. There isn't really a "whose" equivalent for objects so it's used for any noun which another noun belongs to.
Yeah, you shouldn't use who's for objects, as in the one "who is" doing something; that should be "that's" or "which is. But for possession like this case "that's" doesn't work at all. "Of which" or "for which" might work in this sentence, but I don't think any native speaker would be confused by whose here
"Whose" should probably be "thats". But a native English speaker will occasionally personify things and so the meaning would be the same, but you are correct.
"Thats" is dialectal.
Cheerios and Bugles (each separately). Nothing in either item should make them smell like death. But every flavor of either I've encountered always has. They're not even the same kind of grain.
I'll eat most ingredients in a wide variety of contexts. It's pretty rare that I'll find something that I don't like, and can't eventually find a way to like.
I'm not expecting them to be amazing, but them being substantially worse than bland and boring is still a surprise.
I love chocolate and licorice but there's those licorice balls with chocolate coating which I just find to be an unpleasant and weird combination.
A lot of what Midwesterners consider "salad".
Youโll pry my Caesar salad from my cold dead hands! My Kartoffelsalat is similarly cherished. You can take the miracle whip salads.
I think they got it from us Germans. Basically throw whatever into a bowl with Mayonnaise, boom, salad.
A lot of things on shittyfoodporn. For instance, pb&j devilled eggs
Why, and I say this with as much emphasis as possible, the. FUCK... would anyone do that!?
