Mostly not picky anymore but oh how I hate raisins or grapes in curry or any savory dish. Yuck, yuck, yuck. Really picky about fruit in anything, apple in mulligatawny and in chicken salad eew.
But the Mexican fruit salad that has mango, pineapple, jicama, orange and ONION and crumbled cheese? I love it and nobody else in my household does.
You know, I've never seen raisins in inappropriate places except as a joke about white people. Is it a regional thing?
I think (think, not know) that they are in recipes here because a lot of our Indian food is by way of England's Indian restaurants, which are sort of a cuisine unto themselves. So for all I know they could have started as a joke, but it's persisted if so. Someone must like them.
Italian Poutine.
Actual poutine is great.
Spaghetti sauce is great.
But a Poutine where you replace the gravy with spaghetti sauce, no.
eww what, is that an actual thing?!
Not a 'dish' but Espresso Orange Juice is nasty despite loving orange juice and espresso separately
I thought I would hate that combination too, but diluted and fizzy I really like it. Not espresso, cold brew, fresh OJ, and Topo Chico mixed and poured over ice really tastes good, smoky orange flavor. I did not expect to like it and it didn't work with espresso (I think the ice shocks it) but with cold brew and fizzy/diluted? Yum.
Thai food.
I love peanuts, and I love pretty much most Asian region dishes that I've had access to in the US, but peanuts/peanut flavor in a "meal" is gross to me. Peanuts are a snack/dessert to me so it's just really odd to have it in a meal.
A Canadian Ceasar cocktail.
Do i like clams? Yes.
Tomato ? Yes.
Fried pickles/onion rings/prawns/burger/etc? Yes.
Vodka? Yes.
All together? ...
I... Where are you buying Caesars that you're getting them with fried pickles/onion rings/etc?
Or am I misunderstanding and you meant that those are on the side?
A lot of places do some really crazy garnishes, rather than the traditional celery. I don't like clams or tomato juice, but I have seen a Caesar with a burger slider on a skewer.
MAYONAISE
Loaded potatoes. Most times they just look like shit.
I don't do turkey and cranberry sauce, porkchop with applesauce, patΓ© with jam/chutneys... something about meat and fruit sauce. Well but I don't like chicken and waffles either. Oh, and bacon donuts!
Sounds like you're not a fan of sweet/salty or savoury combos. How do you feel about pineapple on pizza?
Mint chocolate. Hate that stuff, but I don't mind mint or chocolate.
