Literally 75% of my diet. Wife and daughters are very picky eaters. If I could pick a couple things they would eat it would be seafood and mushrooms. One kid won’t try hardly anything. Won’t eat salad. She’s nuts.
What’s a food you like that the rest of your family thinks is disgusting?

Maybe 1995 instead of 1990. I LOVED the personal pan pizzas until pizza became more of a mom and pop specialty. In Sioux Falls, former Iowa State football players opened a new pizza place called....Andolinis. (?) The pizza was round but the slices were squares. It is maybe the best pizza I have had to date. They got too popular and grew too fast.
Mushrooms is another one. No one in my family will eat them except me.
Similar to SeaPA above, the daughter (no pics!) is a really picky eater, but one of the things she likes is catfish. She doesn't understand it any more than the rest of us, but she likes it, which makes me happy.
Couldn't begin to count the number of gyros I shoveled down hammered on the ped mall. Give me one anytime, anywhere.
Lots of Braunschweiger callouts, must be the German roots. My old man loved that stuff...I eventually developed a taste for it too.
Back in the day, my buddies would get together for a bonfire oyster and beer fest.
We would get a bushel of oysters off the dock, build a big fire and throw a grate over it. We would load the grate up with oysters and pull them off when they popped open.
Grilling them creates a leathery flavor filled nugget.
Shuck those babies and dip them into melted butter or lay it onto a saltine with hot sauce.
Many others were sucked right off off the half shell…
Tallahassee was great for that. Fresh oysters harvested that morning and at the keg party that night. You don't know how good you've got it until it's gone.
Yeah, we mostly went to either Spring Creek, St George Island, or Eastpoint to buy a burlap sack filled with a fresh bushel. You could meet the boat on the dock and get a sack for $5.
Now, the lack of water going into Apalachicola Bay has basically destroyed the entire fishery there.
Yup. Now we're getting "fresh" Virginia oysters at seafood restaurants in Florida. 🤪
Here in WNC, we are offered Northeast, Maryland, Louisiana, and Virginia oysters. Seldom do you see Apalachicola offerings.
I support your anti-corn stance. I make exceptions for popcorn and corn on the cob slathered in butter and salt, but overall it ain’t great.
Louisiana oysters might have been harvested within a day.
Cape Cod oysters? Not so much....
Only the popcorn exception for me.
Creamed corn is the most disgusting concoction known to man.
When vacationing in eleuthera we had a private chef come to the house and one of his dishes was a corn chowder. Everyone raved about it but guess who was the asshole.
All delicious and something I eat all the time.
Surprisingly, the Z-linellials have “discovered” sardines and they’re starting to make a comeback.
In the South you typically just eat them 1) straight from the can or 2) drained with Publix deli mustard and maybe some hot sauce and a little mayo and mushed with a fork and then spread on a cracker. I’m fine with them either way.
If this happens again dm me immediately and I will make sure they don’t go to waste.
I tricked the girls when they were little, telling them morels were chicken nuggets and they liked them. No way they would eat them today.
I used to think so until my coworker introduced me to her recipe. 16 oz frozen corn, 1 stick butter, 1/2 cup sugar, 1 package of cream cheese. Throw in crockpot for a couple hours on low. Stir. It’s ridiculously good.
OMG I love corned beef hash when it’s been done in a skillet until it gets a crust and then you put a poached egg on top.
