Sometimes I feel like I'm the only person who does not like ranch flavoring. To a lesser degree, I don't like apple pie either. Like, if I was served a slice of apple pie and courtesy required me to at least eat a few bites, I would. But I would absolutely not if it was a dish, say, covered in ranch dressing.

Scrapple. It's been decades since I went vegetarian, but I still remember how slimy even fried scrapple was.

New England Clam chowder. Warm salty milk with bits of rubber. But that was just bad chowder, you say? Then every single time I had it was bad.

Pecan pie. Just dip a pecan in karo syrup and save yourself the trouble.

Barbeque. Even the meat is America has to be sweet, apparently. Yeah yeah, vinegar type exists, too, just never anywhere I lived and it's too late to try now.

I've never been able to handle scrapple either, and I grew up right in the heart of PA Dutch country. Everyone else in my family loves it.
