I've always thought that carrot cake looked good, but it's disgusting.

I used to think that carrot cake was so pretty with the icing carrots when I was younger, but I hate the way it tastes. I also hate it when I'm at a cake related event and there is carrot cake....so disappointing. My parents wedding cake was carrot cake and I'm convinced that that's part of the reason they divorced.

I'm sorry, but I just let out a guffaw when I read this.

I agree. I think a lot of foods out of their "natural" element are nasty.

I like carrots but dislike carrot cake.
I like fruit but dislike fruitcake.

Exception. I love bananas. I love banana pudding.

you and I are so much alike. I love bananas and banana pudding, too. Fruit cake is probably the most disgusting thing I've ever tried. I think giving someone a fruit cake as a gift any time of year is an insult, unless the person you're giving it to likes it with you having knowledge of it. Other than that, it's totally a slap in the face. lol

Fruitcake is just nasty.

I will never forget when I was a child that my mother would make these gross fruitcake cookies at Christmas. I cried and cried because she wanted me to leave them for Santa one year. I was afraid he wouldn't bring me any presents if I left him gross cookies. I believe she found some Oreos in the cupboard to placate me.

ETA: I would kill for some of my Grandma's banana pudding. She made it by layering vanilla wafers with sliced bananas and pouring this hot sauce over the whole thing. It was awesome. All pudding-based banana puddings, while good, pale in comparison.

Hilarious! I think it would be hilarious to see the look on someone's face if they got a fruit cake for a gift. I mean, I never understood why anyone would give out something that disgusting. They're not only disgusting to eat, they smell really bad, too. lol

Store-bought fruitcake is nasty. My mother's homemade fruitcake, on the other hand, was awesome.

As for bananas, I like them okay, but I just can't stand banana pudding, or anything else banana-flavored for that matter.

Well now wait a minute. '...anything else banana-flavored...'?? What kind of banana pudding are you getting that doesn't have real bananas? I wouldn't eat banana flavored pudding, but banana pudding? Practically heaven on earth.

What in the world is wrong with you and SWTXBelle? All this time I thought y'all were good people. I feel misled.
