Sometimes this lets me savor them longer and not just shovel them into my gaping maw.

Overrated.

You are allowed to stay out of my gaping maw, in fact...the entire forum has permission to stay out because I care.

I don't prefer gummy candies, but I do like ones that have a firmer bite, like Twizzlers.

Although, to be fair, Nibs are better than their full Twizzler counterparts, despite being the same thing in theory.

Ditto with Lucky Charms and any Cap'n Crunch cereal with berries.

A single serve ice cream cupcake with green frosting from Dairy Queen can also have similar effects.

The only Twizzlers I ever enjoyed were those orange creamsicle ones.

Time to upset some people......

Oysters.  Raw, they're like eating boogers in semen.  Fried, they're like eating dirt.

Kimchi.  It tastes like someone picked it out of the garbage can out back.

Caviar.  It tastes like salt that at one point had some fish nearby.

Brie.  The rind tastes like mold, because it is, and the cheese inside tastes like nothing at all.

Scrambled eggs.  Unless it's in a breakfast burrito, literally any other preparation is better.

Okra.  Slime.  Nuff said.

I'm bad enough at preparing eggs that no matter how I end up trying to make them, I end up with scrambled eggs. May as well just admit defeat early...

Basted might be one of the easiest.  It's like sunny side up, in which you don't flip it over, except that you keep spooning the hot grease over the top so it cooks the top too.  As long as you don't crack the yolk when you first put it in the pan, it's pretty hard to mess up.

But, now that I think about it, that might not be the best for someone with ADD...

Oysters.

I don't get the fascination, either; they don't have any flavor or texture.

I never tried them for years and when I finally gave them a shot, they were as disappointing as the six-year-old me thought they'd be. Gave it a few more goes when out to eat with others, and sort of deemed it the Pablum of the Sea.

I do not want to know how you know what that experience is like.

With that said, I can't stand raw oysters either. The texture triggers my gag reflex. My brother loves them, as did our father, to which I say there's no accounting for taste.

I love them when Dad makes them, because they come out perfectly fluffy.  But I've noticed that I don't really care for them otherwise.  Restaurant scrambled eggs are way too institutional for my liking; one time ordering them from a diner I was mentally comparing them to what I imagine prison food tastes like.  They're fine when used in egg sandwiches and the like, but as a meal, it's Dad's or bust.

Fine?  Sure, OK.  But a fried egg is even better.  Depending on the sandwich, I might even leave the yolk a little gooey.
