Question of the Day, Friday, April 2

[KittyJ]

I don't really despise any food but I don't like any dessert with jello.

 

[MoonstoneWolf]

I'm not a dessert or sweet eater so I would have to say all of it.

 

[TMcats]

Raisin cookies

Yes I'm gonna have to agree!

 

[Kat0121]

There are a lot I don't like.

Cheesecake
Anything with banana in it
Fruitcake or anything with candied fruit in it
Carrot cake
Spice cake
Anything with meringue on it
Pumpkin pie
Anything that has maraschino cherries in it

 

[Lari]

Sounds similar to what "the old ladies" make around here. We call it "ambrosia". coolwhip, sour cream, jello, marshmallows, fruit and coconut. Bleh!

That sounds absolutely awful!

 

[BellaGooch]

-Brownies with nuts in them
-Carrot cake
-Pecan pie
So basically anything with nuts in it

 

[neely]

I absolutely detest fruitcake. Whenever someone tries to give it to me for the holidays I run.

 

[denice]

Anything with raisins or anise in it.

 

[allmykitties]

If it includes coconut and/or raisins, it is a firm "no".

 

[fionasmom]

denice That is it....anise is the big deal breaker for me. My mother made Easter cookies every year with anise and they were miserable.

I also hate cupcakes of any kind. They are all mushy and slimy to me.

 

[misty8723]

fruit pie like peach or blueberry, but do like apple
Anything real sweet

Ambrosia is VILE to me. My Grandma had a thing for jello. She always had a dessert around made with jello. Usually jello with mixed fruit. But she always made ambrosia too. It looks as bad as it tastes to me. The only thing worse would be topping it with Miracle Whip.

Let's see, I don't hate Cheese cake, but I prefer Sweet cheese cake (like Entemann's French Cheese cake), I don't like desserts that leave stains on your teeth like Blueberry and Cherry Pie. I am not a big fan of carrot cake or any cakes that uses vegetable ingredients. I tried Mince Meat pie and it really wasn't my cup of tea. Otherwise, I like most desserts. I have a big sweet tooth.

Am I the only one who likes ambrosia? Then again, we never made it with sour cream or cottage cheese, it was just jello, whipped cream, and canned fruit cocktail with the juice used instead of water for the jello.

 

[Tobermory]

Am I the only one who likes ambrosia?

It wouldn’t surprise me! I could eat it if I had to, though. There are several things that people have named that I don’t care for and avoid—unless I’m at someone’s home and I don’t know them well—but the one I positively loathe is anything with coconut.

My mother made fruitcakes that were actually pretty good. When she got older, and especially after my father died, there was no money for the ingredients. Michele and I started buying the necessaries for her, as it gave her something to do, and something to look forward to each year. She passed in 2008, and I still miss those fruitcakes.

 

[MonaLyssa33]

Yeah that's probably it. I could stand it with just the other ingredients, but that's an egregious misuse of cottage cheese! The texture. . .

My family makes something similar, but it's strawberry jello, frozen strawberries, whipped cream and tapioca. It normally calls for cottage cheese, but the texture isn't right for it, so someone used tapioca instead and it is by far one of my favorite things at family get togethers.

My least favorite dessert would be oatmeal raisin cookies. I'll eat them if I have to, but I won't enjoy it. Also anything with ginger. I hate the taste of ginger.

That sounds ok, especially with real whipped cream. I wouldn't even mind sour cream (it's basically higher-fat unsweetened yogurt). But the cottage cheese. . .or mayo. . .nuts. . .little marshmallows (I like them fine in hot chocolate but cold marshmallows are a nope for me). . .maraschino cherries. . .bleh.

Oh no...you're not alone.There are several of those kinds of "old lady" salads out there,and I pretty much like them all.My favorite though is the watergate salad with pistachio pudding,pineapple,cool whip and pecans.

 

[lizzie]

I really can't think of any dessert that I don't like.
