Which food or “thing” do people in your state hate the most?

If you’re comfortable, post the state you live in with your answer.

I thought of this question after looking at this article about a map of the most hated foods from each state:

Please feel free to be humorous, if you’d like.

@zenvelo I say “Cali” – do you hate me?

By the way, I hate people who say, “So, you’re from Joisey?”

@janbb No I don’t hate you, but I might gently reprimand you, in the same vein as asking someone from NJ if they mistook the eclipse for Chris Christie blocking the sun.

So funny.

I’m going to say NY – milk with dinner.

Florida – cream sauce on anything Mexican or other food dishes from Latin America.

DC Metro area, Northeastern states, South FL – ketchup on a hot dog and sweet tea.

@janbb just don’t say “Frisco”.

@filmfann Nevah! But how do you feel about “San Fran”? Is that gauche?

And, by the way, please don’t ask me if I know Tony Soprano.

“IT’S SAN Francisco. Old San Francisco. It looks its best—very old—in the rain, when gray ghosts flit across the wet sidewalks, leaving no shadow. Not Frisco but San Francisco. Caress each Spanish syllable, salute our Italian saint. Don’t say Frisco and don’t say San-Fran-Cis-Co. That’s the way Easterners, like Larry King, pronounce it. It’s more like SanfrnSISco, all one word minus a syllable.” Herb Caen, SF Gate, 1995

I know I wasn’t the one who was asked, but “San Fran” is “meh” to me. Not as abrasive-sounding as Frisco, but not great, either. Also, I have family from other states who use both of these nicknames—Frisco and San Fran—so I’ve always associated them with people who may visit, but aren’t “from,” the area.

If you want a shorter option, go with “SF” (esseff.) It’s always a safe bet. We pretty much say San Francisco or SF, and nothing in between. That’s my two cents, anyway.

More for California:
– People who don’t recycle.
– Public places that only have trash cans (trash and recycling go together like salt and pepper, oil and vinegar, peanut butter and jelly.) If you’re really going for it, you’ll have a compost receptacle, too. Bonus points if you label the trash option as “landfill.”

^^^ @Soubresaut The preferred shorter option (when I grew up on the Peninsula) as demonstrated by old Warriors jerseys – The City.

^^^ Haha, that’s what I get for saying there were only two options! :) ... Is “SF” not a universal nickname in the Bay Area, then? Is it just in my neck of the woods?

I heard some things that they might change the name to Tony Bennettville

PullMyFinger (3870

@zenvelo Sorry, pal, but the city only refers to one place – New York, NY.

@Soubresaut I use SF also sometimes but now will try to drop the San Fran.

As far what people in my area hate the most, it’s “Bennies.”

I don’t know, really. They all seem to eat the same thing. All fried and all gravy. I don’t know about any one particular thing.

When I was in New Orleans, I learned it’s pronounced more like “Ny’AW-lins”. The only time I’ve heard is pronounced differently (NEW or LEENS) is in a song (for rhythm and/or rhyme) or by people who have never spent any time there.

San Francisco, not Frisco. SF is okay, but I prefer The City.
Herb Caen used to call it Baghdad By The Bay.

Oh…HATE the most? Well, logic. Reason.

@janbb—I don’t think it’s a huge thing, just wanted to let you know how the locals do :)

It’s interesting that several people have mentioned “The City” for San Francisco… I’m going to guess we don’t call SF “The City” as frequently where I live because we have other places that could be considered “the city” nearby. I dunno. I just find it interesting how we refer to things.

The Golden State Warriors have referred to San Francisco as The City for years….

I got that. It’s good to know! I was just trying to spit ball why it’s not used as much in my specific area.

And yet, there is still only one true “The City”.

This is about San Francisco:

When the lights go down in the city
And the sun shines on the bay
I want to be there in my city

@ragingloli Manspreading is sitting on a subway train with one’s legs spread wide apart in an aggressively sexual pose towards women.

zenvelo (39430

I don’t think it was marketed here as being sexual, more just that it takes up a lot of space.

jca (36062

@jca Yeah, that’s the way I see it too in the city on the subway, not sexual just selfishly taking up space.

Well, I’m in The City right now (my aunt went into hospice Monday night and I flew up Tuesday) and in a lot of places it’s hard to find a Coca Cola. So much space given to these other fancy schmamcy sodas, teas, and waters. Sometimes the Cokes are just hidden in a small corner if I look hard enough.
