Judging from your responses to my liken last year to a food post, I’m not the only blogger who had a rotten 12 months.
Here are your nasty food choices… in order of posting not awfulness.
.
.
Haggis?
Enough said.
.
.
Cilantro, the devil’s weed.
.
.
A shit sandwich is bad, though admittedly this one looks pretty happy.
.
.
Mushed pea porridge, to which I always want to ask the question…. why?
.
.
Meringue. That utterly tasteless abomination.
.
.
Listeria laden grapefruit.
Google images didn’t have that particular culinary horror, but this looked gross enough to suffice.
.
.
Cod liver oil.
Oh my.
Conclusion?
We’re all well rid of 2024.

River's world..... 
…And Shit Sandwich takes the bronze! I guess I need to come up with something even more rank for next year, I’m not feeling so optimistic right now. I saw a TV show once, Lonely Planet, I believe, where a guy shot a deer and harvested the mossy, spongy contents of its stomach for a traditional Greenland meal. I’m probably thinking about this too much.

Nice job on the listeria! Alas, at least here in SoCal, 2025 is looking even worse than 2024. Apocalyptic, even.

It’s horrendous. I can’t hardly believe what we’re seeing. Hoping you’re nowhere near those areas.

We are okay for now. Aside from smoke and ash. It is pretty horrifying.

There are worse things to do with leftover egg whites from making custard or crème brûlée than making meringues. Granted, they are nothing more than egg white, sugar, and air, but to go from that satisfying crunch to melting in your mouth is not all bad. And the other photos tend to make me sick just looking at them. There is a beauty to the browned peaks and white valleys of the meringue in your photo.
And if you think 2024 was bad…

I’m not sure how much worse 2025 can be from a culinary standpoint, but it’s frightening to think about.

Guess I missed the surveys. I like Cilantro and Meringue. Although, I doubt they would be good, together.

I wonder if I put enough meringue on that Haggis would it be tolerable? Short answer” No. Long Answer: No.

Big time Thanks, I will let he know! Her second book is now in editing. Editing takes a while, believe me. Syntax, grammar, and, most important, continuity.

I just found out that a friend lost her long time home in the fires down south – a nice enough house but a lovely garden that I knew she worked hard on. So I don’t know 2025 … so far slimy gopher gut pie!

I can hardly believe the scope of these fires. It’s so horrible…

I thought the devil’s weed was kale. You can’t make a decent guacamole without cilantro!

If that was 2024, imagine if you ask the question again in January 2026 after a year with Voldemor- uh, I mean Trump in office. All the worst foods have already been used up!

There’s still liver. Expect that to be my answer.

To be fair, someone said liver and onions on the original post, so no.
You’ll have to choose again.

I had to take cod liver oil until I was about 7 years old. I swear I can still taste it.
