    A number of years ago when cupcake shops were opening everywhere, there was this one called Mancakes that did “manly” cupcakes (think bacon and alcohol). I finally broke down one day and decided to try one. I went with the “Buffalo wings” cupcake which turned out to be what I guess was Frank’s Red Hot flavoured cake, topped with icing and some sort of crispy sprinkles (chicken skin?), and stuffed with (to my gagging surprise) blue cheese icing.

    I love hot wings, I love blue cheese dip, and cupcakes are just fine.

    But a buffalo wing cupcake has to be the nastiest concoction to be called a cupcake that I’ve ever tasted.

    I’m down with carbon, oxygen, phosphorous, and all these other nice elements, but you mix them together in just the right way and you get my ex girlfriend.

    I don’t do turkey and cranberry sauce, porkchop with applesauce, paté with jam/chutneys… something about meat and fruit sauce. Well but I don’t like chicken and waffles either. Oh, and bacon donuts!

    Mostly not picky anymore but oh how I hate raisins or grapes in curry or any savory dish. Yuck, yuck, yuck. Really picky about fruit in anything, apple in mulligatawny and in chicken salad eew.

    But the Mexican fruit salad that has mango, pineapple, jicama, orange and ONION and crumbled cheese? I love it and nobody else in my household does.

    I love chocolate and licorice but there’s those licorice balls with chocolate coating which I just find to be an unpleasant and weird combination.

    Let me confess that I didn’t actually eat this, so maybe it actually whipped ass. Once a friend ran for donuts and I asked them to pick something up for me. They came back with a donut with maple icing and bacon bits sprinkled on top.

    The sight and smell were so upsetting to me that I shoved it in my purse when no one was looking and never got around to trying it.

      Maple doughnuts with bacon bits are FANTASTIC! I was leery at first, but they truly rock.

        I might just have a weird aversion to meat and sweets, because I also mentioned thinking jelly on a sausage biscuit was gross once, and no one agreed.

    Cookout pasta salad. I like pasta, mayo, corn, tomatoes, cucumber, olives, onions, whatever else goes in normally, but pasta salad is just so disappointing.

    I am the opposite about a Reuben- I’m not especially a fan of pastrami, sauerkraut, Swiss cheese, or thousand island dressing, but fuck if it’s not incredible together.

      I like your idea of reversing the question. On their own I’m not big on sour cream or mayonnaise, but either of them mixed together with the right seasonings or sometimes even together with some seasoning and I can’t get enough. Mayo is nasty, but a garlic aioli? Fricken great. Plain sour cream? A tad on a baked potato is fine, but a chipotle lime crema? I might lick that up off the floor…

    I feel like I’m in the minority on this one, but I don’t like fruit and yogurt together. Individually, they’re great.

    Non native english speaker here, not trying to have an argument but to learn.
    Is it correct to use “whose” in this context?

    I kinda thought “whose” was meant to refer to a person and not an object, but really I don’t know.
    Though I’d use something like “of which” or whatever else instead.

    (Or just do what I do and rephrase it so you don’t need to bother with this syntax to begin with.)

      I’m not a native English speaker either but I’ve spoken English from a young age. “Whose” is used to denote belonging, not necessarily personhood, which can be confusing as “who” does denote personhood. There isn’t really a “whose” equivalent for objects so it’s used for any noun which another noun belongs to.

      In this context, “whose” works fine, on the basis that almost no other options work at all outside of completely rewriting the question.

      I personally would just switch it out for “with” instead; it does slightly reframe the phrase but doesn’t change the question itself.

      “Whose” should probably be “thats”. But a native English speaker will occasionally personify things and so the meaning would be the same, but you are correct.

      Knowing how popular gelatinized everything used to be in the middle of the previous century makes me want to barf more than a little.

        I understand the history behind it (gelatin used to be something that took all day to make, refrigeration used to be uncommon, so gelatin was a marker of wealth, blah blah blah) but no force in heaven or earth will ever move me from the belief that high lead levels were a huge factor in what people put in gelatin, served to guests, and told themselves was good.
