/ck/ - Food & Cooking

can't think of a single food that I've "grown out of" except candy I guess.

Would eat jelly straight out of the jar by the spoonful l.
I still like dry dog food though

love potato salad.

but yeah other than candy I can't really think of anything. I mean I used to love a lot of garbage frozen food like chicken fingers and stuff, I don't know but I don't know if that counts.

only reason i don't eat potato salad anymore is because it's calorie dense and it's a pain in the ass to make

>inb4 store bought
there's no potato salad worse than store bought, they load it with vinegar to increase it's shelf life and it taste like shit as a result

Depends on the store my main man home skillet.

One of the stores near me has an awesome mustard potato salad. I mean you know they all have different recipes, and it's actual people that make that stuff right? Some of them are going to be good.

Parents tell me that I liked Sweet Potatoes and Squash as a kid, but I straight up can't eat them now. They just disgust me.

I also love eggs, but I don't eat them anymore because they make me feel like shit all day afterwards. Guess I'm allergic or something, which sucks because I love me some eggs...

How is it hard to make?

Perfect potato salad is pretty much a pain in the ass. I actually agree with that guy.

>boil potatoes
see now i have to start all over because i put raw potatoes in my potato salad

>>7002496
I just boil the potatoes and then peel them and cut them with an egg slicer.
Even making your own mayonnaise isn't that complicated.
I also add onion, apple, pickles and some vegetables.
Mix that stuff while it's warm and let it soak in the refrigerator for a few hours.
Final ingredients are sausages.

Crunchy bits, like onion and pickle, in potato salad weirds me out. My family always made it smooth and dreamy.

>>7002514
Same I can't stand it. The texture is like a june bug flew in my potato salad. Never understood how people can eat it crunchy.

>>7002504
This post just made me imagine someone going through every stupid step of making potato salad but forgetting to fucking cook the potatoes first and I've been laughing for a good while now.

I think a little pickle and maybe a couple tbsp of minced onion is pretty necessary. you'll never notice the onion if its minced small enough.

>>7002526
>a little pickle

If you don't like potato salad, the chances are you're doing it wrong.

Not hating - I made the same mistake.

But yeah, that shit from the store in the plastic container is going to be nasty unless you go to Whole Paycheques.

>>7002481
Again, I must politely insist you're doing it wrong. Or possibly buying inferior quality root vegetables?
The taste difference between organic / back yard grown and cheap imported stuff is significant with sweet potatos.
I'm not shilling for organic stores - they're easy to grow if you have the space.

Shit makes me heave now

I'm pretty sure they made them really shit compared to how they used to be.

fast food. junk food in general

Used to eat this stuff like a boss when I was a kid. Couple few years back they had it on sale at Walgreens. Buy 2 cans. Still have the other can. Just tasted not so good.

Same goes for Campbell's Chicken Soup. Lived on that stuff but can't touch it now.

My dad's cooking.

I wasn't at all discriminating as a kid. I would happily eat the worst kinds of industrially made ready to eat shit. It was only when I experienced better versions of the same foods that I realized just how crap many of the things I used to like were, and I couldn't go back. Some things I think are disgusting now, but liked as a kid include:

snack cakes (Little Debbie, Tastycake)
canned corned beef
Spam
cheap cheese
sweet drinks
cheap candy
chip dip made from sour cream and dehydrated onion soup mix
blue box mac and cheese
"lunchmeats"
bread sold in plastic bags
Taco Bell and McDonald's
ketchup
frozen pizza
canned pasta

Probably the biggest change is my tolerance for sugar. As a kid I craved the stuff, but as an adult I don't care for sweet things too often. Also as a kid I liked lots of fat with my protein. Cheese and pork sausage were my ideal foods. As an adult I eat very little of either, and splurge on the best quality stuff I can get when I do, because the cheap stuff tastes like ass to me now. Eating a Sausage McMuffin is hell on earth to me now, but I thought that shit was awesome as a kid.

Hot dogs. Dunno why. I used to love eating them, but now I can't stomach the things. It's not even that I'm 'too good' for them now or something, I eat plenty worse, but their texture is really gross to me. Bologna too (thought I dunno if that counts because I fell out of love with it when I was 12ish.)

90% of fast food restaurants

Cottage cheese, manacotti, American cheese, bologna slices, hotdogs, and lots of canned things.

I like so much more now than when I was a kid tho.
