I absolutely love cranberry jelly.... and am the only one in this
house that does, so that means I get to eat the entire thing all by
myself. Mmmmm! I haven't met a cranberry I didn't like yet.

Practice safe eating. Always use condiments.

I'll eat just about any type of cranberry sauce, but I prefer whole berry
over jelly, and homemade over canned. They're all good.

Yabbut, I don't recall which I last saw. (doing well to recall that
I'd seen it done by both...)

No. I often wonder if likes and dislikes are mainly because of what we
were used to as we grew up. I never tasted asparagus until I was well
out of my teenage years. For example I never had spicy foods as a child.
I hate anything spicey or hot and I just can't get used to the sensation
however much I try. I know that my tastes changed as I got older and
there are many things I like now that I didn't, but some things might be
fixed? I am probably talking a load of old twaddle but I often think
about it when I see some of the recipes here and I know I couldn't eat
them My grandson however can eat very spicy foods, because my
daughter has given them to him from a very early age.

Oh dear.. did that turn into a wee rant))

No, not a rant. I do understand. There are a select few things that I
will not or cannot eat. Most notably are oysters in any form, assorted
other sea "creatures", raw fish, kidneys, and probably a few other things
if I really thought long and had about it.

Same for me, but I only eat potatoes in small quantities due to their
high carbohydrate content.

Yes, it was said of beer, but it applies to turkey too!

catsup.

IMHO, French fried served any way but crisp is disgusting, although I don't
mind dipping them in catsup, ranch dressing, etc., as I eat them.

I'm late on this thread since we were away. I don't like french fries
or potato chips. Any other style of potato is fair game for me

On the bbq, foil is really handy. Drizzle on a little olive oil and
sprinkle on some Montreal steak spice and you have a really tasty
potato. I seldom do this in the oven though since any oil leakage makes
a mess. Now I have a self clean oven, that might change. The skin is
really good but not crispy. Personally I favour a crispy skin with
fluffy insides but during the hot months, potatoes in foil are a close
second without heating the house

I'm not a huge French fry fan anytime *however* french fries with gravy
and cheese aka poutine - wonderful - I indulge once or twice a year;
french fries with spicey chili, onions, and cheese - heavenly - I
indulge a couple times a year; french fries with coney sauce (really
nice recipe) I make a couple times a year as well. We really don't eat
a lot of french fries. And for the Americans here, we like our fries
with vinegar or a mayo/mustard sauce not ketchup if not using one of the
above methods. I make french fries so infrequently, I cut them up using
a french fry cutter and deep fry them at home.
