    I don't get the love for air fryers. Maybe there's a knack to them, but they dry-out cooked meat a little too much for my liking. Cooked some hake for lunch today. Waste of good fish.

    I don't like The Simpsons, not even the early seasons. Homer Simpson actively irritates me.

    Ross O'Caroll Kelly and that Irish Mammies account on Twitter. Give me strength.

    The Godfather. It insists upon itself.

    It may sound vulgar but I'm saying it anyway.


    So many men LOVE a shaved bald vagina.


    FUCK THAT!!!


    A woman's lady-garden should have some shrubbery growing around the water feature.


    You get turned on by a bald crotch, you're sick.

    Slightly specialised, this one: I cannot stand the “F-Hole” cutout on musical instruments. I suppose it’s barely acceptable on classical instruments such as the violin, since it originated there, but if I see it anywhere else, my reaction is just “ew”. This guitar is a typical example of what I mean. It just looks wrong.

    From out there on the moon, international politics look so petty. You want to grab a politician by the scruff of the neck and drag him a quarter of a million miles out and say, ‘Look at that, you son of a bitch’.

    Most men I speak to like a bit of hair left down there, very few like totally bald. Very few also like full bush. A decent ‘treasure trail’ of a triangle or square on top but bare undercarriage seems to be in favor.
    I don’t think your preferences make you sick however!

    I have never heard of anybody who doesn’t like that movie (that has seen it). So this is a pretty going against the grain opinion I think! I personally love it, though Part 2 is better.

    Raisins and dried fruit, especially in breakfast cereals. I always find any type of dried fruit sickly sweet and nauseating.

    Lamb is and always was a no no and if I see it advertised outside restaurants it makes me nauseous 😫

    It looks nicer when there's a bit of shrubbery but a bald one is better when giving mouth to south.

    Christmas.
    The greatest pain in the arse. I wish I could go to Tahiti or somewhere like that from the week before that pukefest ‘The Late Late Toy Show’ until around the 10th January when the brats are gone back to school. (on a normal year of course).
    I love that woman that told Pat Kenny to send her on the money and shove his tickets. The face on him.

    I don't think I can take another year of the social media postings of everyone in matching toy show pjs and the general consumerist frenzy. I think it will be even worse this year to be honest because of lockdown. Look at how you couldn't even get an Easter egg this year two days before Easter :D

    I'm going that way myself. I think January is my favourite month of the year because it's so far from next Christmas!

    I am not a fan of Christmas in the commercial sense.. the pj's, manic shopping, trying to think of pressies folk will wanna regift etc,. but I find it is what you make of it.. I zone out from the conveyor belt stuff. just enjoy the time wth loved ones, the food, the time off etc.. I use to hate it but love it now.. as I found my own way to enjoy it... for me, its mostly about spending quality time with loved ones.. (and discretely letting them know you care about them.. and the fact that the feeling is more than likely mutual hmm)

    Wouldn't be putting a nice piece of fish in an air fryer, dude. Not the piece of kit for it. Pan fry in a generous amount of unsalted butter, or go with the foolproof tinfoil parcel in the oven approach if your cholesterol levels are a cause for concern.

    It tasted like fairy liquid
    I had some tea that tasted like Quix so out of politeness I drank it rather than accuse the host of not rinsing out the washing up liquid.


    It was my first taste of lemon tea

    don’t enjoy TV. Will watch the soccer but with apps like YouTube and Netflix, and the 5 minutes ads with limited selection to watch seems pointless imo


  • Registered Users Posts: 957 ✭✭✭MuffinTop86


    Doritos.

    They have always tasted like burnt rubber to me.

    The last time I tasted one was on a patio bar in Spain a few years sgo where they bring a mixed bowl of nibbles.
    I immediately spat it out to OH’s disgust and had to cram in peanuts to get rid of the foul taste.
    No idea how people love them.

    Also, avocado. Tastes like freshly cut grass paste.


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,110 ✭✭✭Tails142


    Not really into sports

    Mushrooms, can't be trusted raw, absolutely revolting when fried. Tomatoes, don't mind them raw but fried, what? Has a fried tomatoe got any redeeming qualities? Disgusting taste, texture. Bleurgh

    Don't like taco chips with salsa and guacamole, wouldn't even dream about eating an avocado although salsa is ok in a fajita. Hate those cheese doritos, hated being at a party and thinking there was cool flavour doritos in a bowl only to find out too late that they were cheese, yuck. Thank god for covid and our lifestyles under nazi rule, that sort of thing won't be likely to happen soon.


  • Registered Users Posts: 24,960 ✭✭✭✭Strumms


    Nachos, they belong in a fûcking bin. They are one of the most annoying things to eat, texture is crap which is the crux of the problem and they are basically tasteless unless ‘loaded’ where they become soggy gooey cardboard .. and you’ll find somebody has ‘spiced’ them with something resembling drain cleaner.

    Ah stop. Not even grilled tomato with a pinch of salt and black pepper, maybe sitting on top of a poached egg and toast?

    How many hours till breakfast...
