Food You're Not Really Sure Anyone Even Buys

As for contributing to this thread, banana milk? Like not flavored like banana per se (I want to try that too though), but vegan milk like oat or soy milk but made with bananas. No one else seems to know it exists. Granted, it's twice the price of regular milk but I really want to try it.

Also yucca root.

I've literally never heard or seen banana milk the way you're describing it. I've seen banana flavored milk but not milk made of bananas. I'm curious now.

I think it's this brand:

There seems to be pretty easy recipes to make it yourself, so I might give it a shot. Just blended bananas, water, and optional things like cinnamon or honey.
 
Jarred pig's feet at bars you go to except you actually know nobody buys them because they have literally been there since you were a goddamn child. They are terrifying and their mere existence frightens me.
 
The half dozen other brands of ketchup sold at most grocery stores when all I ever see anyone using is either Heinz or store generic, for the most part.

Actually, same for most condiments. Who the fuck buys half the brands that are on the shelf long enough for me to notice how many brands there are?

What I don't get is why there are so many "gourmet" mustards. I don't know who even needs one. No one is ever going to regard mustard as some kind of elite foodstuff when you can walk into a McDonald's and walk out with a bunch of free packets of the stuff. "Gourmet mustard" is like some kind of a joke food that a movie scriptwriter just made up to show us what an insufferable snob some rich guy that we're supposed to hate is.
 
The mini-bags of Terra vegetable chips, sold next to the mini-bags of Lays, Doritos, etc.
I've had some of them and they're decent if you've ever liked sweeter tasting chips. Nothing worth raving about but that's how I feel about most snack foods.

I guess I'm one of those snobs because I like the different mustards. But I'm also the type of person to buy and try random condiments because the containers look cool.
 
Canned chicken. I can't think of a single reason to buy canned chicken over fresh unless you live in an area prone to natural disaster or something.
 
forgive me if someone said this previously (i have toddler brain please understand) but those weird heinz half and half sauces, like mayochup or whatever

I don't like any sort of fish with teeny tiny bones in them that aren't easy to get out. Usually you see this sort of thing in cheap sardines etc. I can't see how anyone could enjoy downing a fishy snack with a prickly texture to it. Something like small whole brisling sardines are an exception though. The bones are so small you can't even feel them in your mouth.

I bought the shit out of Sir Bananas milk when it was made, beetis or not. It had totally authentic delicious cancer causing artificial flavoring. I could even taste the "stringy" part.

I can see the market for that kind of stuff. When I was young I liked to mix up ketchup and tartar sauce for fish sticks, and when I'm having a classic style burger I like mayo and ketchup on it. I've never tried them out though since it's probably something that would last forever in the fridge.

lmao I used to mix mayo and ketchup together when I was a little child. Might be my nostalgia or my shit taste, but those go well with fries.
 
Thing's I've never seen anyone buy.... In terms of:

Japanese food? I've never seen anyone buy shirataki noodles for sukiyaki, azuki beans, miso or for snacks, things like melon pan, the Ito En green tea, Calpis, or the super juice with a legit preserved mini tangerine in it.

I wish I could buy Calpis outside of japanese restaurants here, same with Asahi Super Dry.

Now for something local to my area: Labskaus

" The meal is traditionally prepared by boiling the beef in broth and then mincing it with the beetroot, onions, boiled potatoes and herring (some recipes use ham). Finally the base is fried in lard, condiments as nutmeg, pepper, coriander, or allspice are added "

I never, ever fucking got the appeal of it, my parents love it though. You can buy it in cans, but it looks even more puke like than the screenshot below
