@f00l Well, it’s something disgusting that a liberal could do to @trumplover1. I read that’s what their cult leader likes. And if he likes it, they probably love it. Maybe it makes them feel closer to him or some weird mind shit.
@PantrHeist, Sauerkraut isn’t disgusting, it’s delightful! Mom used to make a concoction of kraut, potatoes and red onions browned in a frying pan. She would season it with her secret selection of herbs and spices. I’m not sure what was in it, but there was fennel seeds and mustard seeds. Tasty!
My disgusting love is 3AM infomercials when I can’t sleep. I am unable to comprehend the appeal.
@f00l Absolutely! She even grew most of the contents in her own garden! Mom (who is still with us, despite the impression one might get from my speaking in past tense)… anyway, mom LOVES canning, picking, and preserving. She has a 1/2 acre garden and grows veggies, fruits, even a big herb garden. Her cellar is filled with row after row of shelves loaded with Mason and Ball jars. Hundreds and hundreds of them. Anything from corn or carrots to pickles, krauts, fruit preserves, jams and jellies, even salsa!
@ruouttaurmind When I was kid my preferred snack was tomatoes. My grandmother, who lived with us, would spend all summer “putting up” tomatoes in pint jars so there would be enough for me to have a jar every day after school. The winter would start with the basement shelves lined with tomatoes and end with them empty. In the summer I just ate two or three fresh tomatoes every day. I still eat a lot of tomatoes. My grandmother also made fantastic home canned bread and butter pickles and sauerkrat.
@moondrake When I have the opportunity to visit mom I always wander into her garden to graze whatever is ripe at the time. Nothing else compares to a fresh, ripe, juicy tomato plucked from the vine and devoured right there in the garden!
Oh, and the aroma of the tomato vines in the warm summer sun really amplifies the experience.
@ruouttaurmind Something about produce warm from the sun… so many people have never had that experience, it’s sad. When I was a kid my grandmother would take all of us on the Greyhound bus to summer in Alabama with my great aunts, one month on the farms of each of the three of them. The adults would send us kids into the fields with baskets and tell us to “go pick us some dinner”, then they’d have fun making a meal out of whatever random food we brought back. Best days of my life.
Growing up with a southern grandmother I put sugar in a lot of things where people think it doesn’t go, most notably beans. Most whole beans need a bit of sugar to be tasty for me. Also I grew up with banana sandwiches, sliced bananas on white or wheat bread with Miracle Whip or mayo. Never peanut butter, that was a rare guest in our home and was never paired with bananas. I still eat banana sandwiches during the summer.
@moondrake
I grew up Southern (regular pan-fried chicken and black-eyed peas at home and similar.) And we never put sugar in beans. Never been a fan of that. but knew people who were - who even put molasses into everything.
@f00l It’s a regional thing. I grew up putting sugar and milk on grits like oatmeal, most people eat grits like rice, with salt and cheese. I’ve met a few people from Alabama that also eat sweet grits. My grandmother would have used molasses, but none of us liked it.
@narfcake and @f00l Romanesco broccoli has been grown in Italy since the 16th Century. I bought it once just because it looked so cool. It was good but my husband wouldn’t even try it.
@connorbush Oh, my dad LOVED those. He literally paid like $50 bucks to have 2 of those shipped from Michigan to the West Coast. Those and the Red Hot Koegels. The taste of home, I guess. I can’t really blame him. I would almost be willing to pay $50 to ship some Superman ice cream out here from Michigan.
I’m pro-kraut, pro-kimchee, pro-curtido, pro-pickled red cabbage. All hail the humble cabbage. And heaven help the guy sitting next to me on a transpacific flight.
My brother-in-law lived in Korea for a while when he was a kid, so he likes a lot of different kinds of kimchi that I’d never heard of. He buys jars of kkakdugi, which is made out of radishes. It tastes good, but oh god, it’s so, SO smelly! Stinks up the whole fridge. My sister hates having it in the house.
“battle tested”? I kinda thought it was an example about how sometimes a person (like me) can set up some people for same trick again and again and again and they never learn.
Not that i do this IRL. Mean and cruel and all. Not nice.

Scrapple. The stuff is hard to find but for some reason the Safeway store in Las Vegas carried it when we were growing up, and my Dad loved it so we used to get it. Wonderful fried on cast iron and topped with a fried egg.
@PantHeist I think Dad said it was something the Pennsylvania Dutch had invented (or popularized for various levels of “popular”). It doesn’t have that icky chicken liver flavor.
@beachbum Those are the best, how are those disgusting? … Is it because they’re pure sugar and preservatives, because that’s a pretty big category of food at this point.

And I don’t necessarily wish to be near you. Just fond of you. Now and then.
