What's a food you forget you like? Then you eat it, and wonder why you don't buy it more often? (self.asklemmy)

Sweet potatoes. So yummy, just baked with butter and salt. I'm not sure why we don't have them as a side more often.

I'm the exact opposite with sweet potatoes. I always forget that I don't like them. I want to like them so badly, I mean come on, bright orange mashed potatoes! But Everytime I try to eat one I just can't finish it. It's weird .

[–] TheGiantKorean 1 points 1 year ago

I can see that - some foods looking way more appealing than they actually are.

[–] IonAddis 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Same here. I think they're just too sweet for me, somehow? Which is odd, because I'll eat things like acorn squash which get kinda sweet when cooked. ::shrug::

Possibly the texture. Potatoes have a different texture than squash.

I like them with a little miso. Or miso butter. Damn, now I'm super hungry.

Oh yeah, good call. That would be delicious.
