The "I don't want to talk about AI" thread, and the new topic is: something that rhymes with "clicks"

Do I even want to look up what that is?
A nasty sticky bitter orange concoction that people have with sparkling water and call a spritz.

Of all the wonderful spritzes - limoncello spritz, for example, or Hugo - for some reason the Aperol spritz has become the popular summer drink all over Europe.
 
Oh. OK. I thought you were talking about some new multi-thousand-$$$ medication advertised on late-night TV to cure a disease you never heard of.
Nobody would take it as medicine. It's honestly so foul. The only way to get people to drink it is to tell them it's the stylish thing.

Probably the only recent marketing campaign in food and beverage more successful than Nutella.

I like Nutella. Although I will admit that the off brands are both better and cheaper.
 
Nutella has flavour in its favour. With Aperol, that's an uphill struggle, and still they managed.

Actually I can give or take Nutella. It's WAY too strong and rich of a chocolate flavor for my tastes. It's ok but only in 1/4 of the amount they show people slathering it on in commercials.

I find it's best with cream cheese and a tortilla. You lay the tortilla out, spread the cream cheese nice and thick, then give it a thin layer chocolate spread. Roll up, cut into pinwheels!

I miss when my boys liked it too. They keep getting pickier every year though.😕

I grew up the opposite. My mom is extremely picky. I didn't get to experiment with food until I was older.
 
This is an oxymoron. (Yes I edited your statement slightly.)

I forget which PBS cooking show turned us on to Brussels sprouts coleslaw, and the tang of pecorino cheese was one of the flavor notes. We surprised folks at a couple of potlucks with 'em. Both of us like broiled sprouts, but they have to be super-fresh. The moment you drop these mini-cabbages into water to cook... well... that's when everything goes sideways. And frozen sprouts are a crime against nature.

The best sprouts we ever experienced were in the short time we lived on the San Francisco peninsula. There were fields of fresh Brussels sprouts south of the area, and we stopped at a roadside stand selling fresh stalks harvested from the field behind the stand. Delicious!
