Things You Love That Always Feature In MN 'Hate' Lists

[NeverDropYourMooncup]

Here's a chance to rave about the humble Haggis (they do gluten free ones, too!), Mochi, olives, Oysters and all the wonderful things that it seems like people queue up to declare their hatred for!

So here are a few things I absolutely love - anybody else want to join in?

GF Haggis.
Mochi - my absolute favourite was a fresh Strawberry Daifuku, but a couple of Little Moons allowed to properly soften will do at a pinch.
Sashimi with proper Wasabi and Tamari (as per the GF requirement).
Oysters - have to be raw and eaten overlooking the sea - none of that messing around with onions and hot sauce, just as they come, plus some lemon.
Mussels.
Clams.
Langoustine.
GF linguine/spaghetti Frutti di Mare/scoglio
Calamari
Both types of artichokes
Aperol Spritz
Black Olives
Green Olives if they're really fat
Goat's Cheese
Sheep's Cheese
Blue Cheese
Avocado

My MIL

Why is it peak Mumsnet? I like all of those things and every one of them was listed as hated in the thread I linked to.

There's usually lots of MN hate for Prosecco and Champagne but I'm a huge fan of drinks with bubbles.

I think you know.

I am not disputing that you like those things (I also like most of that list) but it really is pick the most middle class foods I like and leave out anything deemed common.

There's a current thread:

The worst thing you've ever tried( (Lighthearted) www.mumsnet.com/Talk/_chat/4839586-the-worst-thing-youve-ever-tried-lighthearted

Greggs sausage rolls!

And I love the school run.

Friends
Weddings
Hen weekends

Oh it's a food only! I'm the least picky eater, so it's all good to me.

Oh yes, weddings. Quite happy with an evening only invitation too.

Friends who drop by unexpectedly.

People who don’t have a particularly linear/northern hemisphere concept of time and with whom you can make loose plans.

Trees in gardens.

All inclusive holidays
Cruises
Spa days
Brides and grooms who request money - easy
Other people's dc

Bread of almost all kinds

Can't taste aspartame (though I do actively look for proper sugar versions) and I can't taste any difference in Cadbury's chocolate

Answering my door

Feature walls and fake flowers

Bubble tea

A Jacuzzi/hit tub although I don't have one

My filler (tear trough and tiny bit of lip) making me look way less exhausted after losing nearly 6 stone my skin on my face was a bit blah

Ultra processed food😂

Every single one of them is in the other thread I linked to (and in multiple other ones) as something that's hated by lots of people.

That's why they're on the list. I think they're great, other people hate them, and I started the thread because I thought how about talking about positives, particularly around food, for a change?

Pierced ears on little girls . My nieces look adorable and I also love dressing them

ds used to love his toe nails painted

Actually, I am interested, what would you deem 'common' food that I haven't expressed an opinion on but you feel I must eat?

As might have been inferred from my referring to gluten free in the OP (and ranting in previous threads), it can't contain wheat, barley, rye, malt, most oats, unspecified modified starch, or be manufactured, stored or cooked in places where gluten containing ingredients are present and actually be something other people have said that they hate.
