What foods do you DESPISE!

Automatic Washer - The world's coolest Washing Machines, Dryers and Dishwashers

Help Support :

Years and years of finding that the mouth and nose are connected but often in the derogatory sense, the kernels left on an ear that are too many to just throw away, the stabbing from a holder, sometimes it jabbing and stabbing you right in and/or around your mouth area...

Has anyone mentioned CORN ON THE COB?! —Well, I will!

And the way the butter sometimes doesn’t go or stay thoroughly around it, and the way the salt just falls off on you plate...! Oh, and those kernels stuck in your teeth...! —there!!!!

Mmmmmm! So will I, as those are all foods I like to eat, although I don't know what anyone sees in those spiny crab legs you have to shuck just to get that puny meat out of, which lobster is also like, unless you get a (Yum!) well-stuffed tail...

 

But for those of you who might these these flavors of sparkling juice by RW Knudsen and possibly might want to try:

(They--especially the PUMPKIN!--are really that bad...)

I’m the kind of person who can eat just about everything. There are very few things I strongly dislike. Most things that I thought I didn’t like, I’ve found that I actually do like them when they’re cooked or prepared well. Among the few things that I just cannot stand are canned mushrooms (I adore mushrooms but they turn to awful, slimy slugs in a can), Miracle Whip, Easy Cheese, oysters, cheap beer, Lima beans, low-fat dairy (especially skim milk and other nonfat dairy, it’s whole fat or nothing for me), artificial sweeteners, and almost anything with artificial cherry or grape flavoring (I think I revert back to childhood dosings of medicine).
 
"So, what's in that Secret Sauce?"

Okay, what was it about Red Baron that reminded me of School Food Pizza?!

Not the cement crust, the rubbery cheese, or the Kroger-brand pepperoni that I always buy, (and tastes good—great, in fact—on everything else I put it on) but somehow the sickening smell of all of the above really got to me...

I hope I ever buy another plain cheese and go back to my Kroger-brand that I make my kind of choice, that this disgusting experience (I prefer Snoopy Vs. The Red Baron, or in the case of pizza, it's DiGiorno, Jack's or Tombstone, that reminds me of my local hi-class pizzeria or at least a tolerable take-out joint or even a 7-11!) will never..., happen..., again..., !!!!...

(Yes, only the box (which you may as well eat, and throw away what's in it) was photo-worthy!)

"Red Baron that reminded------

me of school food pizza". That may be because many schools serve Tony's Pizza, which is made by Schwan's, which also makes Red Baron, Freschetta and other brands of pizza. One of my friends used to work at their Northern Kentucky facility.

I've always liked the Red Baron Deep Dish individual pizzas pretty well.
 
Well, thank you CIRCLE W for telling me, as I've never eaten any of those other kinds (though I wonder of such irony every time I see a Freschetta's truck making me believe it's a flagship brand) and lastly, it's good to know my Kroger brand is not in those lowly ranks!

Frozen pizzas are amazingly cheap.  Tombstone brand is popular here and are often on sale for $3.  Can't expect much for that price (and you don't get much!) 
 
I bought a Freshetta pizza for dinner this past week.  I took only 2 bites before I went to the kitchen and made scrambled eggs!  I'm surrounded by pizza franchises living right besire a college campus.  I don't like then, either!
 
I've had Red Barron pizzas. I can't remember the specific varieties, but I know I've had more than one cheese-only topping pizza in the last year or so. I didn't think it was the best thing ever, but I had no complaints, particularly given the price. Indeed, I have a sense that it was a welcome buy at one point--really cheap at a point where the grocery budget was practically used up for the month...

That said, the only pizza I've had in recent history has been frozen. And my budget hasn't permitted buying better varieties in some time--the mass market brands are the best I've had in quite some time. Also, while I had Red Barron in the last year, it's been a number of months. So it's entirely possible that the recipe changed between my last pizza, and Dave's.

It's been a long time since I had Freschetta, but I liked the brand many years ago. BUT I haven't been as happy recently, although it's been more "disappointing" and "not as good as I recall" than "this stuff is so terrible and I won't finish it!" (I can't recall what topping varieties, but it would have been something meat free.)

Although, for me, it's irrelevant how good or bad these brands are. I no longer eat dairy, and assuming I stay away from dairy for the duration, it's not terribly likely I'll have any conventional frozen pizza again.
 
>Can't expect much for that price (and you don't get much!)

No, you can't expect much!

I remember seeing really, really cheap single serving pizzas. At something like $1 each on sale. Or something like that. In retrospect, I half wish I'd tried one, just to see "how bad is thing?!" before I quit eating dairy.

But I recall cringing at the ingredients. Fake cheese was in one product. I remember some other brand that made you think you were getting an Italian Grandma pizza. Then, I look at the ingredients, and saw "High Fructose Corn Syrup." I thought sarcastically: "Yes. Every Italian Grandma cooks with that stuff each and every day."
 
I was a latchkey kid and I grew up eating cheap frozen pizza, boxed mac and cheese, TV dinners, etc.

 

So today a cheap frozen pizza is a sort of comfort food as ridiculous as that sounds.  My long-time ex was a pretty good cook, but once in a while he'd make Hamburger Helper Beef Noodle because he ate it growing up.  I knew better than to complain!
 
Frozen Pizzas...

I think the best frozen pizza is DiGiorno brand. I prefer the "Supreme" variety in any pizza, as well as the "rising crust" type. A close second is the Safeway Signature Select House brand Supreme rising crust pizza.

For fresh pizza, Costco's "Combo" (equiv to what the frozen vendors call "Supreme") is generally very good. As are offerings from local vendors like Mountain Mike or Marina Pizza.

I don't do Papa John's because of their corporate politics. Domino's, Round Table, meh.
 
Ralph, my pizza preferences are pretty much the same as your.  Supreme, but the 3-meat (meat lovers) pizza also.  And always rising crust.  HEB's private label brands are really a cut or two above what other store's house brands are.  Their pizza is no exception.  
 
(Pssst... It's MUSHROOMS!)

After having these go bad on me a number of times, and reeking of the origin that they actually come from (which is why a majority of people are turned off by) I simply refuse to let another one in my house or even up to my mouth, unless ordered on something when eating out or taking in a carry out, or perhaps offered at a invited over to dine, if any of the aforementioned are a REPUTABLE SOURCE...!
