things you thought you didnt like but it turns out you do...

is that honey (manuka or something) that cost about £20 a jar any good? not that I'd buy it if it was :hmm:

I like rowse honey, but gales is a bit rank. I've got rowse at work, gales at home. and I'm off sick :(

You're asking the wrong person about £20 honey.

I ate a 60p pizza yesterday.:(
 
£20 a jar... bugger off :D (it is meant to be all medicinal, but £20!!!).
Not many of my honies (I have afew :o) are from supermarkets - they're from fairs, fetes and random villages shops... but all really lovely. Have a look at Lambeth Country Show this year - loadsa honey :cool:
 
How can you hate Philadelphia? It's virtually meh in a spreadable format, as inoffensive as cheese can get.

I've discovered that I actually quite like macaroni cheese. Just not badly made ones with overcooked pasta and richly pungent artificial sauces - a bad couple of school dinners put me off for years.

I don't know. I think I was scared of lots of spreadable things.
 
Probably only had stock jar stuff - Gales maybe? The smell outs me right off although I've only actually barfed when I tried mead.

Lucky escape, I believe you can get barred from Suburban for not liking macaroni cheese. Probbly.
 
On a slightly different tack - I only discovered I liked prawns a week before I went veggie but now I haven't had any for 19.5 years.
 
I thought of something: oatcakes.

I always thought they tasted soapy, but it turns out the ones I was eating were probably off, as gone off oats go soapy tasting owing to their high fat content. Actually that doesn't really explain why they taste soapy :hmm:
Can anyone help?

Manuka honey tastes like Dettol :(

Try oysters grilled with garlic butter, lemon juice, parsley and breadcrumbs.

(crush garlic and mix it with the butter and parsley, put a blob of it on top of the oyster still in the half shell, sprinkle with breadcrumbs, put under the grill and put lemon juice on them when they're done).

I loooooove love love oysters and mussels but I can't eat them :(

ooh yeah, mussels for me too! I was scared to eat them cos I thought they would make me ill - years ago my brother at too many/had a bad one and projectile vomited for 24 hours :eek:

but then I tried them a couple of years ago and they're lush. I'm with you on the oysters though, I don't think I could bring myself to try them.

Y'see that sounds nice when you describe it, but it's the texture... are they different when grilled? More like mussels or still all wibbly?

No they're like scallops or something, but much tastier. I like oysters raw but can see why some people don't.

I don't know if I'm allergic exactly, but I'm definitely sensitive (my sinuses get all weird and painful and I feel odd) and I worry that if I ignore it and carry on munching shellfish it might develop into a dangerous allergy.
