Tjack Posted September 16, 2021 Report Share Posted September 16, 2021 Just now, GM Joe said: I couldn't stand beer until I found ale. Now, I can't stand. (Badum-pah!) Every type of shellfish I've ever tried has made me gag. I do like fresh-caught fish, but most of the stuff I've tried in restaurants has a funny taste to it, so I avoid that stuff. High quality sushi can be quite good, though. And I've never enjoyed coffee or coffee-flavored products. While for me, having to give up coffee (due to heart problems) is one of the great screaming unfairnesses of my life.

That sucks! Giving up caffeine due to health problems was painful, and I still miss it sometimes. But I never enjoyed the taste of soda pop or tea as much as most coffee lovers seem to enjoy coffee, so I know I got off easy.

Tjack Posted September 16, 2021 Report Share Posted September 16, 2021 Going through caffeine withdrawal is much easier when you’re in the Intensive Care Unit and wasting away again in Margaritaville on Demerol. It’s being told afterwards that you can’t have any anymore that’s a b1+ch. Nowadays I watch Dunkin Donuts commercials like they’re porn.

Something about the taste just seems ... I don't know, off somehow. The fact that the refugees from evolution who staff the local franchises have screwed up our order the last several times we've gone probably doesn't help, either. The chicken tastes about the same to me. I can't eat as much as I used to because I can't tolerate the grease, but the flavor is much the same. The coleslaw is notably less sweet than it used to be. And it used to be the best thing on the menu. They either greatly reduced the amount of sugar in it or changed over to a non-sugar sweetener. There's also been a notable drop-off in quality of the other side dishes but it's most obvious with the coleslaw. ==== I can't stand coffee and I don't drink alcoholic beverages. I gave up sodas completely for 15+ years but now have started drinking them infrequently. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sometime ago when they had to start providing the nutritional info on their products, they decided to tinker with the recipe of the chicken to reduce the amount of salt. (one of the 11 herbs & spices) While I don’t eat the coleslaw, I’d be willing to bet they did the same thing about the sugar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The current mashed potatoes couldn't even be described as that. It's basically 1970s-style instant potato flakes barely moistened by some hot water. The gravy has more texture.

Tjack Posted September 17, 2021 Report Share Posted September 17, 2021 Hasn’t Harlan Sanders been dead since the early ‘80’s?

Cygnia Posted September 17, 2021 Report Share Posted September 17, 2021 Elsewhere, I have been betrayed by tacos at this one place. We only go there 'cause hubby likes their sweet potato-black bean tacos, but their other stuff is a damn salt bomb. No balance or even spice at all.

Pariah Posted September 17, 2021 Report Share Posted September 17, 2021 I'm not certain whether I mentioned this earlier or not, but Mountain Dew. If you ever see me drinking Mountain Dew of any variety, you should assume that I have been abducted and replaced with a clone, alien, robot, or LMD. Call S.H.I.E.L.D. if this happens.

Duke Bushido Posted September 17, 2021 Report Share Posted September 17, 2021 Bagels. Eggplant. So far as I know, that is all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pariah Posted September 18, 2021 Report Share Posted September 18, 2021 I dislike any bagel that involves onion. That includes the ubiquitous Everything bagel. The grocery store across the street from my school used to sell sun-dried tomato bagels, which I loved. But apparently I was the only one, because they discontinued them. Well, they got a new baker who decided to dig up some of the old recipes and experiment with them. So when I went in one day, they had sun-dried tomato bagels again! Naturally I bought one...only to discover that she had decided to add onion to the recipe. Most disappointing bagel of my life.

That's the absolute nastiest coffee I have ever had; I don't miss that a bit. I miss all other coffee though. I was told two things about coffee by my doctor: Stop drinking it. Normal people do not drink three pots a day. It was my favorite hot drink; it was my favorite cold drink. I'm going to go somewhere and be all maudlin for a while.....

It's only good if you like getting a week's supply of salt in each teaspoon of the gravy. My personal favorite would be to forgo the salt and get flavor from other more natural methods.
