I don't mind it, but it's quite nothing-y and I do wonder why people get excited about it. The Asparagus Piss Factor is quite disconcerting too.

I’ve gone right off avocado, since everyone started doing it on toast it’s been really not a great standard.

I feel the same as Toast about crisps as is well known.

I've never been keen on avocado, and its prolific use in breakfast and sandwich goods is quite annoying. Almost all pret salads seem to include it now.Pippedydeadeye wrote: ↑Thu Mar 26, 2020 12:30 pm I’ve gone right off avocado, since everyone started doing it on toast it’s been really not a great standard.

Still never found a recipe that is missing a bay leaf, either

I have always preferred dark chocolate, even as a child. But I mean stuff like Bournville, even the really dark stuff is too bitter for me. But I would never judge someone for preferring milk! If anything I'm jealous, you get much more choice with milk chocolate, and it's generally cheaper too!
I agree with cheesecake, every single time I get some cheesecake, it's a massive disappointment.

A bay leaf gives a definite tang.
Yes dark chocolate other than Bournville is a waste of time. Give me milk any day of the week.

This! I force myself to bring the kids a couple of times a year but that is it. See also, concerts. I would much rather stay at home with a glass of wine and listen to a CD. All the crows and queuing for everything. No thanks.

I hate cheesecake.
I like dark chocolate and oysters though.
I'm glad it's not just me, Jupiter! I do like concerts though.

If your back's against the wall, turn around and write on it.

People who eat dark chocolate (not TMTers) are the type that have to tell you about it, aren't they? Like there's no point doing it unless everyone knows about it.

I love baked cheesecake. Really love it. I can accept why it doesn't appeal to a lot of people though (why, how magnanimous of me)

Parsley. I just don’t see the point of it.
Dark chocolate is such a waste of calories
I’m also underwhelmed by avocado. My burb is v hipster and everywhere offers avo 6 ways like that’s a treat .

As has been mentioned before, I do not understand why people eat chips. I will eat them if there is absolutely nothing else and I'm still hungry after I've eaten the rest of my plate, but I can't get excited about them. Chips at the seafront? No thank you.

Parsley My inlaws love it and so MrPG thinks steaks should have massive amounts of chopped parsley covering them :(
