List some foods that you believe are the Devil's Work:
My list:

-Non-dairy creamer
-Succotash
-Brussels Sprouts
-Green peppers
-Green peppers IN potato salad (death penalty offense,IMO)


I'm sure I'll think of more, right now I'm staring at a container of potato salad that contains green peppers, so I'm struggling...

6. Pizza Can Be Quite Nutritious
and it isn't all that fattening if you don't try to eat the whole damn thing in one sitting.
Take part of it home. It makes good leftovers.

4. Organ meat.
There aren't enough onions in Vidalia to cover up the nastiness of beef liver.

I just can't eat organs...just...ugh....

Great topic. Sorry about your green pepper/potato salad :hug:

21. I hate limas too, hence the succotash mention. Why would you
ruin a perfectly good dish of corn by putting those nasty things it it? :puke:

And what kind of monster puts green peppers in potato salad? Seriously, what were they thinking? I've seen it happen often enough that it can't be just a random mistake. Someone actually thought about this, and did it. Sick. Just sick. :silly:

I hate radishes too, but I LOVE red beets! Yum! :9

25. the thing that gets me is - how does corn+limas = succotash?
How does that combo rate a whole new name? :wtf:

(I confess: I forgot that succotash WAS corn+limas when you had it in your original post.)

32. I like saurkraut, but in small quantities. Do you drink the juice?
That sounds very gross. And I'd have to get pretty darned hungry before I'd eat potted meat of any sort!

37. No
but I've seen cans of it in the stores, and I can't imagine anyone sitting down after a hard day with a glass of kraut juice. :puke:

Sauerkraut by itself is just fine in things like Reuben sandwiches or with roast pork :9, but drinking canned kraut juice??

28. Chili - It is called the Soup of the Devil.
<http://whatscookingamerica.net/History/Chili/ChiliHistory.htm>

Some Spanish priests were said to be wary of the passion inspired by chile peppers, assuming they were aphrodisiacs. A few preached sermons against indulgence in a food which they said was almost as "hot as hell's brimstone." "Soup of the Devil," one called it. The priest's warning probably contributed to the dish's popularity.

44. I've actually come to appreciate Brussels Sprouts lately!
But what I can't accept:

Chopped apples in tuna salad (my fave hot-bar deli pulled this nonsense, I actually wrote a complaint letter to management)

Lemon flavored pound cake.

Sweet cornbread.

Mock seafood. ESPECIALLY mock seafood pawned off as the real thing! arrrgh!!!

49. Swedish fermented herring
Didja see this story?

STOCKHOLM (Reuters) - In a rare break in the clouds during a rainy Swedish summer, just when it looks safe to venture out for a breath of fresh air, the smell of rotten herring wafts over.

Sunshine is rare enough in the short Nordic summer and trying to enjoy it outdoors also requires a strong stomach in August when Swedes traditionally tuck into "surstromming"

The dish of fermented herring, rivals South East Asia's durian fruit, Iceland's buried shark or Norway's "lutefisk" as one of the world's most objectionable delicacies.

A peaceable people who otherwise care for the environment, fish-loving Swedes sit outside to open and eat a dish that is only deemed ripe for consumption when the tin containing it is buckled and bulging from the fishy fumes. The smell is so pungent that even neighbours and passers-by get a snootful.
