What is your biggest food letdown?
Mine was definitely sea urchin.

Hamburger Helper.

I only grew up eating Asian food so American food and processed American food is still exotic and novel for me. In this case, HH is novel.

I recently got some and made it. It was so fucking bland. HOW

Im all three. Its not good but with a bit of extra ingredients thrown in it can be pretty alright. Never eat it just by itself unless you really dont have anything else to put in
I like to fry up some mushrooms and cook some onions in there as well as a shitload of pepper to give it a bit more

I remember as a kid, my grandma used to make me a mixture of peanut butter and Karo corn syrup that I would dip bread sticks in. Tonight, I thought I would attempt to recreate the experience by mixing Laura Scudder's chunky peanut butter with cheap pancake syrup since it's basically just corn syrup with coloring. I didn't have any bread sticks so I just shoveled the concoction into my mouth with a spoon. My bizarre cravings and my disappointment in myself only seem to increase with time.

They are always shit. After wanting to like them, and ordering it 8 or 10 times from multiple restaurants, and being disappointed every single time. I'm completely done with sweet potato fries. Its apparently much to difficult to get a good result, because Ive never had a good result. This one well earned its abandonment.
