You’re in for a treat, it mellows out when heated but still brings great umami and texture. Enjoy!

I don’t know if this counts, but grease. Especially pepperoni grease, the orange stuff. I will just run my finger through it and lick it off, or sop it up with bread of some kind (garlic knots are great for this).

I definitely get looks for it haha, I think I must have some deficiency or something with how I crave vinegar

Anchovies. I wouldn’t say judged but I’m alone in my love for them. Everyone in my house likes kimchi. It is loud smelling, I can sort of understand your family.

Make them a kimchi grilled cheese, or the kimchi/butter noodles - sometimes having it cooked lets it “click” for people, that was the gateway kimchi for everyone else in my house.

At work it’s licorice, though the old lady directly across from me does like it. I can imagine not liking it, but yum it’s my second favorite candy.

Oh it sounds delicious! My mouth loves the idea, stomach hates it lol

Canned meats like tuna or spam (technically it’s not spam as it’s chicken/beef (and not branded spam)) but it’s meat in a can in general. It’s largely a smell issue in my house and my family hates the smell.

Also sodium but we don’t talk about that.

This reminds me of a lunch food item back when I was in middle school called sirloin steak. Basically a thick patty made of ground beef with gravy.

It is unfortunately in the distinct shape of doo doo and all the kids laughed at me for it but I couldn’t help myself. It tasted so good I got it anytime it was on the menu.

I think you might be referring to salisbury steak, as sirloin is a specific cut of beef. I totally agree, though! It’s really easy and delicious to make at home, and anyone who judges you for it that eats burgers is a damn hypocrite.

It’s usually wild game or unusual cuts of meat. I’m happy to say I’ve converted almost everyone who tried it to lengua tacos, and fish cheeks, though!

Any time we eat spiral cut honey ham (a couple holidays a year) my favorite thing in the world is eating it with a metric fuckton of extra hot horseradish. Im not a huge fan of hot peppers, but the particular heat and sweetness of horseradish with the super sweet and savory of the honey ham… it’s incredible

Oh I also get judged for my Thanksgiving plate. I mix up my mashed potatoes, gravy, a little stuffing, and turkey, and then shove this mix into the middle of a roll and eat it that way.

Mayonnaise. Yeah yeah yeah a white chick from the Midwest loves mayo, but like it’s tangy, it’s creamy, and it’s incredibly versatile

Everyone thinks I’m crazy for loving anchovies especially on pizza but they’re amazing. I’m sorry I doubted my mom for so long when she said how great it is
