Chitlins.

Just the thought of chicken MCnuggets makes me feel sick.

Dill pickle chips are my favorite food! I used to eat a bag a day I wish we could get them in California.

- All bread made in the United States ever. The very fact that anything sold on a shelf has wood pulp in it says a lot. The stuff is vile. And it's very expensive. I for one am ecstatic to know that being celiac I won't have to struggle to find something - anything - that could make a decent sandwich

Jewish Rye i good - as it the whole wheat from safeway however im off to check the ingredients- if it has wood pulp in it they are in the bin and PG dont let them have that high fructose rubbish in them......

Homemade pumpkin pie is awesome.

Yet to eat a decent one from a shop though :/

I do agree. Homemade is the key. Pumpkin in custard, what's not to like? Low calorie too, compared to most pies....

Mashed potato.
Tomato ketchup.
Dill pickle in any form.
Iced tea.

The smell of either dill pickle or ketchup makes me gag. It drives me nuts when I say to the Deli "No pickle" then open up the package and the pickle is there, touching the sandwich. I can't eat the sandwich. The smell is just awful.

Tomato Ketchup is the nectar of the gods, but it must be Heinz..

Also, unrefrigerated and out of a glass bottle. It always seemed to taste better that way. Sort of like baked beans cold out of the can

Beetroot, baked beans and parsnips. Makes me gag just typing it. Have to say I don't think I could live in the US, there are way too many weird 'foods' going on.

Farmed fish from China. Read about the Tilapia, essentially grown in sewage ponds. To be fair, I had written off all foods sourced from the Peoples Republic of China. Especially after the dead dogs, and then the baby formula B.S.

Iced tea when it's unsweetened and made properly (instead of that disgusting powdered stuff) is delicious and refreshing.

Hear Hear! but then I see you're in Houston TX, which is where I lived for nearly a decade too.

IMO, Houston summers will teach just about anyone to like unsweetened iced tea!

This is so true. I make coffee by the cup, tea by the pot, but iced tea by the gallon!

Not me and I've been here for 23 years

Iced tea sweetened or un-sweetened just does nothing for me. I would rather drink plain cold water, more refreshing and no after taste
