That's nothing like the chicken and dumplings I grew up with. Just sayin'.
My grown kids always request that I make a big batch of chicken and dumplings, and black eyed peas, and corn bread, and maybe some collard greens, when they visit. I have to have all that READY for them when they come! LOL
I'll take the cornbread and collard greens and maybe a little of the blackeyed peas, although there are other beans I prefer. Will let you know when I'm on my way. And hey, I'd TRY the dumplings!

I’m Cajun so I’ve tried many different foods and cannot stomach oysters, whether raw or cooked. Recent stories of severe sickness from eating certain oysters makes me glad I refuse to eat them again.

Salads.
I used to just accept them and cover up the lack of taste with salad dressing. I bought into the idea that lettuce and celery were part of some sort of "balanced diet".
I got over all that I guess. Last night at dinner I ordered prime rib and asparagus. Period.
Hot & spicy. I have been (inadvertently) eating spicy things all my adult life. I am not any closer to enjoying them. I just bought some store-made guacamole, it's too spicy for me, and I usually love guac. I'll soldier through it somehow, but I just don't get the appeal.

To each their own. I adore spicy food to a level which even I consider to be sometimes irresponsible.
I’d like to add to my list from before. I don’t get fusion cuisines - they have always IMHO come out as a muddled mess. Likewise, super gourmet versions of comfort food just miss the point and miss the mark. And I’m going to double down on meat - I call myself a natural vegetarian because I basically never crave meat. I kind of tolerate it as an additive to a meal, like meat sauce on spaghetti, but it’s always somebody else adding it as I probably never would even think of doing it on my own. And I don’t do big slabs of meat as the center of a meal, such as a steak or chicken breast with sides. There are a few exceptions like chicken fried steak or chicken Parmesan, but not many and I don’t eat them often.
I agree. Mac and cheese is such a basic comfort food (I'm not a huge fan but like it OK in the right circumstances) that trying to luxe it up seems, to me, to fall flat. It's a waste of good lobster meat, and let's get real...there's rarely more than a nugget of it anyway.
In a nearby town, someone just opened an "I Love Mac N' Cheese!" place (Mac N' Cheese 'and more.') Hubs says 'another place headed to bankruptcy.'
I do love mac and cheese, though. Homemade. Plain and simple.
I don't understand chicken and waffles. I only ever had waffles that you put in the toaster and then put ice cream between them, and that was when I was a kid. I know some people eat them with syrup like pancakes, too. I have also seen those big Belgian waffles with fruit and whipped cream, but I never had one.
How they went from a food you eat with ice cream to one you eat with fried chicken is a mystery. Do they put nuts and chocolate syrup on fried chicken now, too? Or a chicken banana split? Lol.
Oh MightyQueen.....Dad used to take us to Coney Island and you could get that waffle with strawberries and a ginormous pile of whipped cream! For me, as a kid, that was heaven!
