Welcome to General Memes

Memes for the masses, chuckles for the chosen.

Rule 1: Be Civil, Not CruelWe’re here for laughs, not fights.

  • No harassment, dogpiling, or brigading
  • No bigotry (transphobia, racism, sexism, etc.)
  • Keep it light — argue in the comments, not with insults

Rule 2: No Forbidden FormatsNot every image deserves immortality on the memmlefield. That means:

  • No spam or scams
  • No porn or sexually explicit content
  • No illegal content (seriously, don’t ruin the fun)
  • NSFW memes must be properly tagged

If you see a post that breaks the rules, report it so the mods can take care of it.

Otherwise consider this your call to duty. Get posting or laughing. Up to you

I eat just about anything that comes out of fish. I think it's fine. Same with salmon roe and stuff. Cod sperm is the one I don't care for (at least raw), but that's a texture thing.

Lobster. Without the butter it tastes like almost nothing. With the butter it tastes like butter.

[–] janus2@lemmy.zip 12 points 1 month ago

to me, lobster has a flavor and it is awful

[–] kogasa@programming.dev 10 points 1 month ago (1 children)

It tastes like slightly lobstery butter with an immensely satisfying texture. It's good

Nobody LIKES kale, it's just a health trend

[–] Jesus_666@lemmy.world 12 points 1 month ago

It's quite popular in North German cuisine. As someone from North Germany I can confidently say this counts against kale as a food.

[–] taiyang@lemmy.world 10 points 1 month ago

Actually, there are ways to prepare it so it's a tasty addition, like in a soup. As a salad it's awful, though.

[–] valar@lemmy.ca 8 points 1 month ago

I like Kale. Im not even a health nut.

Okay, this is probably a hot take, but fish.

I don’t understand how people like it. I get that taste is subjective and all that, but good Lord, I don’t like anything about fish. The smell, the taste, the texture. I don’t get it.

[–] Hideakikarate@sh.itjust.works 10 points 1 month ago

The smell comes from a base when the fish breaks down. That's why a spritz of lemon is such a common thing; it helps to bring the pH back down. I'm a big fan of a simple grilled salmon. Wrap it in aluminum foil with garlic salt. Cook, and spritz with lemon when it's done.

Guacamole is so goddamn good though.

It's also great on a turkey sandwich

Mushy peas. I’m from northern England and therefore should genetically love it, but I just don’t. Maybe it’s because I never went to watch football and rugby games in the rain and cold.

Caviar. Salty raw fish eggs. I think the rich started this rumour that it was an excellent gourmet item just so they could secretly laugh at the poors when they spent a bunch of their hard earned money on fish eggs, just to appear "Classy".

Dubai chocolate bars. $15 for a candy bar that just tastes like sweet? Makes no sense to me.

Truffle.

It's so overpowering and stinky, I don't understand why people want to pile it up on things or distill it to a liquid to turn the flavor of whatever you're eating into gym socks.

Truffle fries? No. Stop. Go away.

Bottled water bought by people whose tap water is perfectly fine (i.e. almost everybody who buys it).

i’ve never been impressed by lobster and folks i’ve eaten it with always lose their minds. the best lobster dish i’ve ever had was mac & cheese, and even that got blown out of the water when i tried it with crawfish instead.

Cilantro, it ruins everything people decide to put it in.
