      I agree on water chestnuts. I always say ‘no water chestnuts’ when I order vegetable fried rice.

      Honeydew is delicious at the correct ripeness, but it always has to bring that musty crackwhore canteloupe with it.

      Water chestnuts are satans vegetable. Flavourless trash that people shove in things to add crunch where crunch isn’t needed.

        The greatest trick Satan ever pulled was selling advertisements for water chestnuts in recipe magazines. As a result, his evil essence has insidiously befouled many otherwise delicious dips, stews and cassaroles.

        Ppl be like “but Chinese food” yeah I bet Chinese water chestnuts are yummy compared to the canned packing peanuts called for in my aunt’s spinach artichoke dip, or maybe the Chinese know how to cook em, idgaf, why then does my local Kroger sell canned water chestnuts but there’s no Chinese wood ear to be found? Because wood ear don’t belong in Aunt Louse’s Spinach artichoke dip either!!!
