LaCroix needed to be on this list.

[wasupaloopa]

1. I like iceberg lettuce, baked potatoes, celery, tootsie rolls, licorice, coffee, brownies, muffins

not going to throw them out.

[JHan]

2. well I don't agree with the whole list.

still hilarious to me. Not sure what crimes coffee committed against Damon.

[pdxflyboy]

3. Chicken Salad?

I can eat good NY deli type chicken salad.....until I’m physically ill.

[JHan]

4. I like chicken salad as well.

but i know there's lots of crappy chicken salad out there, I feel Damon is traumatized.

[littlemissmartypants]

5. Why dates?

They're one of the most delicious things on the planet.

[JHan]

7. in the comments someone posted a nice recipe I like too..

dates with goat cheese filling wrapped in bacon.

[shanny]

6. Cucumber Beet Gazpacho. Just sayin'

Also keeping the chutney (which I suppose could be called "relish" ...if you are a cretin), the tiramisu AND the bleu cheese to eat with my green apples.

And that is all I have to say about that.

[JHan]

14. one of my fave salads involves beets..

Arugula , roasted beets, goat cheese, walnuts with pomegranate salad dressing.

[shanny]

18. Sounds yummy. I do something similar with the addition of avocado.

Have to try the pomegranate.

[JHan]

19. oh the avocado idea is a nice one!.... I love avocado.

[sprinkleeninow]

8. God I love Damon. Funny story about the potato salad

Early on in my tenure in DC, I was living near Howard back before "gentrification" was a word. My neighbor Tariq invited me over to his alley party (this is a DC thing: a block of rowhouses is split north-south by an alley and you don't need to hassle with a permit for a block party in the alley*). I knew not to show up light, so I brought a case of beer and, since I figured food would be good, a potato salad. He asked me what I brought and the beer was rapidly whisked away, and when I said "and potato salad", I don't think the DJ *actually* scratched the record but it felt like that. But T's face lit up a second later and he said, "oh, shit, you're from Mississippi, right? go on then". Among the proudest moments of my culinary career.

* Also if you're up to no good as most of us were when you come over to party you enter through the alley door. I used to tell friends "go into the alley between 10th and 11th and then turn right at the illegal chop shop". Nobody ever got lost. Man I miss living in DC.

[JHan]

10. great story! lol...

lol , #PotatoSaladTruths

[JustAnotherGen]

[JHan]

11. it's mystifying how brownies ended up on the list.

I've really tried with green bean casserole and I cannot do it, I just can't.

[Susan Calvin]

23. You haven't had what I had at my friend's house yesterday.

Made them not just tolerable but delicious. Must get recipe. Probably involves lots of fat and salt.... ;->

[JHan]

24. always a relief...

When it works out that way ...You're invited to a thanksgiving and a dish you can't stand was actually done nice. lol

[Croney]

12. When it's below freezing and you have to walk to the subway,

boil two eggs and put them in your gloves. When you get to work, your breakfast is ready. That alone should keep them off this shitlist.

[Squinch]

13. So wrong. So wrong. Pudding? Pickles? COFFEE???? I need to lie down.

[JHan]

15. lol

[pansypoo53219]

16. can only agree on some. like pudding.

but celery? baked potatoes? i like iceburg. that used to be gourmet let†uce. i make a bitchin 'depression' no mayo potato salad. + he never had sauerkraut(bavarian) baked w/ pork chops/pork ribs. even better when fried in cast iron for repeats. otherwise its shit.

[irisblue]

17. I can agree with the peeps & licorice, not my house,

Pina Colada jello stays in this house.

[JHan]

20. Damon is so wild he starts his list off with jello , trying to be controversial n shit. lol

Pina Colada jello stays in this house.

[Susan Calvin]

22. This is hilarious food for thought/discussion.

OK, I'll play.

Target used to have the finest tiramisu on the planet in their freezer case and now mine doesn't.

Waaaaaaaaaaah!

[JHan]

25. I LOVE tiramisu

[sheshe2]

[Laffy Kat]

27. How come kale is not on that list!!!

[JHan]

30. lol... true, I would have expected it to be on the list.

( tho I don't hate it, I've had some nice kale dishes)

[chillfactor]

29. sorry....
