Non native english speaker here, not trying to have an argument but to learn.
Is it correct to use “whose” in this context?I kinda thought “whose” was meant to refer to a person and not an object, but really I don’t know.
Though I’d use something like “of which” or whatever else instead.(Or just do what I do and rephrase it so you don’t need to bother with this syntax to begin with.)
“What is a dish where each individual component you like, but when combined together become a dish you think is nasty?”In this context, “whose” works fine, on the basis that almost no other options work at all outside of completely rewriting the question.
I personally would just switch it out for “with” instead; it does slightly reframe the phrase but doesn’t change the question itself.
outside of completely rewriting the question.
Doesn’t require much rewriting tbh
“the component parts of which”
that’s fair!
I’m not a native English speaker either but I’ve spoken English from a young age. “Whose” is used to denote belonging, not necessarily personhood, which can be confusing as “who” does denote personhood. There isn’t really a “whose” equivalent for objects so it’s used for any noun which another noun belongs to.
Yeah, you shouldn’t use who’s for objects, as in the one “who is” doing something; that should be “that’s” or "which is. But for possession like this case “that’s” doesn’t work at all. “Of which” or “for which” might work in this sentence, but I don’t think any native speaker would be confused by whose here
“Whose” should probably be “thats”. But a native English speaker will occasionally personify things and so the meaning would be the same, but you are correct.
Cheerios and Bugles (each separately). Nothing in either item should make them smell like death. But every flavor of either I’ve encountered always has. They’re not even the same kind of grain.
I’ll eat most ingredients in a wide variety of contexts. It’s pretty rare that I’ll find something that I don’t like, and can’t eventually find a way to like.
I’m not expecting them to be amazing, but them being substantially worse than bland and boring is still a surprise.
I hate oranges (or orange type fruits) in cake or anything else basically. It just feels wrong somehow.
I think someone disagreed with you lol (not myself) but I don’t mind citrus in some stuff like cheesecake. I do get that it’s a strange pairing but is quite tangy which I think people like. Probably makes them eat more of it.
I don’t mind the juice but more the whole pieces inside of cake or müsli, I find it’s a weird feeling even if I like them individually. Juice or cest is great everywhere.
Me too, or chocolate oranges
Toothpaste Sandwich
I’m down with carbon, oxygen, phosphorous, and all these other nice elements, but you mix them together in just the right way and you get my ex girlfriend.
Loaded potatoes. Most times they just look like shit.
potato salad is fucked up. How could you possibly take eggs and potatoes and think pickles is what you need to tie it all together?
It’s quite possibly the WASPiest food in existence. A dish devised to showcase the wonders of
in all its grandeur.They are! Without pickles a potato salad tastes bland but a pivkle or few gives it a sour third note and it is amazing!
Let me confess that I didn’t actually eat this, so maybe it actually whipped ass. Once a friend ran for donuts and I asked them to pick something up for me. They came back with a donut with maple icing and bacon bits sprinkled on top.
The sight and smell were so upsetting to me that I shoved it in my purse when no one was looking and never got around to trying it.
I might just have a weird aversion to meat and sweets, because I also mentioned thinking jelly on a sausage biscuit was gross once, and no one agreed.
Sauerkraut milkshake
Cookout pasta salad. I like pasta, mayo, corn, tomatoes, cucumber, olives, onions, whatever else goes in normally, but pasta salad is just so disappointing.
I am the opposite about a Reuben- I’m not especially a fan of pastrami, sauerkraut, Swiss cheese, or thousand island dressing, but fuck if it’s not incredible together.
I like your idea of reversing the question. On their own I’m not big on sour cream or mayonnaise, but either of them mixed together with the right seasonings or sometimes even together with some seasoning and I can’t get enough. Mayo is nasty, but a garlic aioli? Fricken great. Plain sour cream? A tad on a baked potato is fine, but a chipotle lime crema? I might lick that up off the floor…
Pasta salad and mayo just sounds wrong to me. I generally use a red wine vinaigrette, it holds up better at a barbecue.
MAYONAISE
Anything “salad” where the salad includes tuna, mayo, or egg. I can’t handle it. I don’t know why. Egg salad. Tuna salad. 🤢
I like salad. I like eggs. I like tuna somewhat. I like mayo somewhat. But any of those weird combinations make me sick.
I used to be like that except hating mayo in general. Japanese Kewpie changed that for me, but egg salad is still not my favorite and I’ll never purposefully order it.
Italian Poutine.
Actual poutine is great.
Spaghetti sauce is great.
But a Poutine where you replace the gravy with spaghetti sauce, no.I had to look up what poutine was, and I can assure you that we don’t have anything like that in Italy
eww what, is that an actual thing?!
First generation montrealer here of Italian descent: that sauce is a bastardized Greek meat sauce, there is nothing remotely spaghetti or Italian about it.
I actually love Italian poutine for what it is, but I would never put that sauce on spaghetti or call a sauce that routinely contains cinnamon and oregano an Italian sauce.
Bro. Bro.
Belle province, all dressed steamies and an “Italian” Poutine. My god.
Sure as fuck ain’t Italian or a good meat sauce but as a combo that shit slaps.
Fuck yes! Michigan hotdogs covered in chopped onions and cayenne too.
Agreed, my comment would be said with the words “Italian” and “spaghetti” in airquotes.
Never seen one with cinnamon, then again I just don’t order those.
I’ll have to check with my gf who does.Oh so it’s Cincinnati spaghetti chili?
Haha from what I’ve heard it’s exactly that.
I don’t eat meat anymore but I’m from Cincy and do occasionally crave a 5 way, hell even a 4 or 3 way (yes seriously that’s what our iconic company for this dish calls its dishes, skyline knows what they’re doing). My wife would fucking love this as a poutine as it sounds like it’s just a 3 way with fries instead of spaghetti.
Usually it’s fries, curds, fries, curds, sauce. Cheapo places won’t double up the curds but the good places definitely do. If that’s what you have in mind you guys should roll by Montreal.
A Canadian Ceasar cocktail.
Do i like clams? Yes.
Tomato ? Yes.
Fried pickles/onion rings/prawns/burger/etc? Yes.
Vodka? Yes.
All together? …I… Where are you buying Caesars that you’re getting them with fried pickles/onion rings/etc?
Or am I misunderstanding and you meant that those are on the side?
I got one when i visited Vancouver at a place called Score on Davie, the ‘toppings’ were great but i wasnt ready for the clamato cocktail.
A lot of places do some really crazy garnishes, rather than the traditional celery. I don’t like clams or tomato juice, but I have seen a Caesar with a burger slider on a skewer.
Thai food.
I love peanuts, and I love pretty much most Asian region dishes that I’ve had access to in the US, but peanuts/peanut flavor in a “meal” is gross to me. Peanuts are a snack/dessert to me so it’s just really odd to have it in a meal.
How do you feel about peanut butter and jelly sandwiches?
Not the same person, but I’m fine with a PB sandwich or toast with Jam, but the texture of the two together makes me want to vomit.
That’s like a snack for me, not a meal. It’s so sweet it’s sort of like a dessert.
