    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.

    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.)

      “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.

      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.

        Yeah, you shouldn’t use who’s for objects, as in the one “who is” doing something; that should be “that’s” or "which is. But for possession like this case “that’s” doesn’t work at all. “Of which” or “for which” might work in this sentence, but I don’t think any native speaker would be confused by whose here

      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.

    French fries sometimes go in kebabs and stuff around here. When they’re on the side, that is awesome. When they’re just drenched in the sauce so you get a soggy pile of greasy potato, it is disgusting.

    Oh, and fruity beers suck: not just “notes of blahblahblah in my hipster IPA” which can be good, but “we literally put fruit juice in this stuff” which… can’t. I like beer, I like fruit. They do not, however, need to mix on my account.

    Sorta related: coriander (cilantro) is fine in moderation and I’m a sucker for a baguette. Once had a banh mi that had a fucking bushel of the stuff, tasted like being dragged through miles of dense shrubbery after someone yanked you out of the shower mid-shampooing. Also burning.

      In Greece it is pretty standard to put fries on gyros. That’s part of why I love them. But: having the proper crispy fry is essential, as is eating your gyro freshly made.

        My local Greek place does this and I always assumed it was an Americanized gyro. They’re super tasty and we love eating there. Interesting to know it’s actually done in Greece too.

      I said the same about fruity beers, sours, lambics, (also found white wines too acidic) and now I like them lol. Sometimes taste changes when you get older.

      There’s a fruit beer sold around here that’s actually quite good, and with a better alcohol kick than most beers. Unlike the ones you mention, it doesn’t use barley at all, and tastes kind of like some lambics I’ve had.

      I once found a Cafe Latte flavoured yoghurt. I thought it would be amazing. Tasted it and immediately regretted it. It tasted just absolutely awful, I can’t even describe it.

        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.

    Cheerios and Bugles (each separately). Nothing in either item should make them smell like death. But every flavor of either I’ve encountered always has. They’re not even the same kind of grain.

    I’ll eat most ingredients in a wide variety of contexts. It’s pretty rare that I’ll find something that I don’t like, and can’t eventually find a way to like.

    I’m not expecting them to be amazing, but them being substantially worse than bland and boring is still a surprise.

    Growing up my mother would occasionally make a dish my father enjoyed that she called “Depression Dinner”. It was mashed potatoes covered in fried ground beef with beef gravy poured on top of it.

    I like mashed potatoes. I like using ground beef in a variety of dishes. And who can say anything bad about gravy? But mix those three together — ugh, no thanks. It was like baby food for adults. There was a reason why my brother and I took to calling it Depressing Dinner growing up.

        Oh certainly changing the presentation, texture, and separation of the ingredients can make a big difference in a dish! I’d say the difference between “depression dinner” and Shepard’s pie is like the difference between cake batter and cake — they’re both made up of the exact same stuff, but one is a gloopy mess you’d probably not want to eat a whole bowl of, and the other is delicious cake you’ll want a second serving of.

          I hear ya, altho at the same time your DD as is doesn’t sound that bad to me.

          Of course, I’d want to drain the hell out of that ground beef and cook it with some chili mix, too. Without some simple steps like that I could indeed see how it might taste more like oily Gerbers.

            To be clear — Mom’s “Depression Dinner” was in fact just greasy fried ground beef poured over mashed potatoes. No spices. I don’t even think she used any salt or pepper. Oily Gerbers would be a perfectly apt description!

        Yeah, the mistake here is in putting the beef and gravy on top resulting in mush. Putting the potatoes on top and allowing them to crisp would really change the flavor and texture.

      Similar to beef mince, onions, gravy and mash for me. My da loves it but I found the combo depressing despite the fact I used to eat mash out of the pot with a spoon. And yes I’m Irish.
