Reddit, of what food or drink can you almost not comprehend other people actually like?
- My family from my mom's side are all Russians, Ukranians, and all sorts of slav ancestry, so in my childhood whenever there was a holiday or celebration, that's the type of food I had to eat.
For the most part I didn't mind, most of the stuff is actually pretty damn good. Pieragi, Borscht, Vareniki, Catliety, Blini... all delicious.
Except my greatest enemy: **Kholodets**. Basically, pig feet with herbs, cheese and some other stuff suspended in clear jell-o. Vile, disgusting stuff, and for some unfathomable reason whenever they served everybody seemed to explode in joy.

- A dish my aunt makes for family dinners called "Lime jello, marshmallow, cottage cheese *surprise*."

- Nattō (fermented beans) Smells terrible, looks like pinto beans mixed with snot. It's an assault on pretty much every sense, and I can't for the life of me understand why it's still popular.

- My gf is Asian and she likes "soup" only it's a pot of salty water with floating cabbage.

- Fresh young coconut meat is soft, sweet, and creamy. Why would people desiccate it and turn it into vaguely coconut-flavored sawdust?
The remaining flavor in desiccated coconut isn't even the good parts of the flavor of coconut. I can't imagine why anyone would choose desiccated coconut over fresh coconut.
EDIT: I just woke up to a bunch of notifications... I'm from the Philippines where beaches are everywhere and fresh young coconuts are about PHP 30 (Around 0.5 euro or 0.6 usd) each - juice, meat, and sometimes colorful straw included. May God have mercy upon you people who haven't tasted fresh coconut before.
