I like vodka straight, and I like it ice cold. Sadly, everywhere I go, I will get room temp vodka poured over ice. This is beyond disgusting. Never understood why beer is ice cold, and vine is chilled but vodka stands on the top of the counter. I hate vodka half&half with water. If I want my vodka mixed I would ask for it.
I still love fried chicken from Kentucky Fried.
I prefer my beer to be IceHouse in a bottle. After the first three, I'll drink pretty much anything.
I don't like salads all that much.
No pretense here.
I'm guessing the OP is talking about the kind of consumers that "love sushi" even though they don't - just because it's the "trendy" thing to like
Yeah, it was a rhetorical question. And I agree with your remark about sushi.
Yet, some things are in the eye of the beholder. Lots of people say whatever became of an ordinary cup of coffee? But they just haven't tried the variety at coffee shops. I'm not a big fan of coffee, but will occasionally get a drink that neither of my granddads would have recognized as a coffee.
An example of pretentious to me: When I told a few co-workers that I enjoy a Tequila Sunrise using Jose Cuervo, the response was: "You're STILL drinking Cuervo? Goodness, I though everyone knew that one should at least use Patron tequila!"
Guilty. I pretend to like sushi, and I go along with those I'm with, but I really don't like raw fish. At all.
Oh, ya, and I don't like Starbucks coffee either. Tastes burned.
Furthermore, I hate beer, except for about 2x a year when I get an urge.
I like Mountain Dew. But I will also drink any generic version of it. I will drink Mello Yello--for me the taste is indistinguishable.
However, Mountain Dew came out with a new version called Distortion, that is flavored with lime, and I happen to like that better than even regular Mt. Dew. I like the taste of it, if there was a generic version already available, I would probably buy that instead, but there isn't.
I drink my soda out of cans...bring two of them to work with me, so it's not like I could just add lime juice to it and have it come out with a similar taste.
I think this thread is nonsense with no basis whatsoever. I only drink American Lagers and I only drink white wine. I only eat Hellmann's mayo. I won't bother to list any more.
Ha-ha! I panicked when I moved back to the West Coast, and there was no Hellman's mayo! But Best buy is made by Hellman's, i discovered. Back in the comfort zone!

I never thought of myself this way, but when one only eats kosher, it can come across like that, I guess.
What I find interesting is food as competition. I don't like hot foods: I like to taste my food, enjoying it for the food. For examply, I think buffalo wings are the sorriest excuse for food ever.
As I am given to understand that sushi is not cooked, I won't eat it.
There's another dish that is supposed to be very good that involves thin slices of raw beef. I'm never going to try that either.
It's not safe to eat raw fish that has never been frozen due to the potential for parasite infection. Freezing kills a lot of dangerous parasites in fish and cooking will take care of other pathogens.
I never eat raw meat of any kind. No raw eggs either. Our intensive farming practices make it even less safe than it ordinarily would be. I'm not a germophobe, but who wants E. coli? It's pretty unpleasant!
