Things People Here Don't Like: In Pictures

The peanut butter and jelly sandwich. They've never tried it, but everyone I've asked hates the idea. It could be that an entire culture finds PB&J disgusting.

White, untoasted bread. Peanut butter on one slice, jelly dripping off the second. Slapped together, in your mouth, when you're 7 and back home from school.

Pretty much, childhood in America.

Objections: Sweet and salty together? Ew.
And that's toast, not bread. Toast should be toasted, or it's not fit to be eaten. And what exactly is peanut butter...?





From the PB&J discovery, I learned that other peanut butter/sweet thing product would be readily dismissed as no good.

This one could be the most tragic.

All had not only never tried a Reeses, but refused to ever do so. If I can find some, I'm definitely going to sneak some into their woefully healthy diets.








Now, there are no objections to mozzarella sticks per se. They exist here. They're either the main course, or in the same place you'd find chicken on a salad. Yes, on the salad.

But that red stuff in the middle? That belongs on spaghetti. And why are you using your hands??









I agree.
















I think this list will grow in the future, but these were the ones covered in tonight's dinner conversation. We discussed this as I merrily crunched the mozzarella sticks in front of me, separate from my salad. The kids, with horrified fascination, followed my hand as it took a stick, dipped it in the forbidden sauce, and held the desecrated fried cheese aloft for me to devour.

It was really funny.

For your viewing pleasure, here's one of the mozarella stick boxes, with a picture of the sticks' intended usage.
