    I don’t do turkey and cranberry sauce, porkchop with applesauce, paté with jam/chutneys… something about meat and fruit sauce. Well but I don’t like chicken and waffles either. Oh, and bacon donuts!

    Mostly not picky anymore but oh how I hate raisins or grapes in curry or any savory dish. Yuck, yuck, yuck. Really picky about fruit in anything, apple in mulligatawny and in chicken salad eew.

    But the Mexican fruit salad that has mango, pineapple, jicama, orange and ONION and crumbled cheese? I love it and nobody else in my household does.

      You know, I’ve never seen raisins in inappropriate places except as a joke about white people. Is it a regional thing?

    Is it correct to use “whose” in this context?

    I kinda thought “whose” was meant to refer to a person and not an object, but really I don’t know.
    Though I’d use something like “of which” or whatever else instead.

    (Or just do what I do and rephrase it so you don’t need to bother with this syntax to begin with.)

      In this context, “whose” works fine, on the basis that almost no other options work at all outside of completely rewriting the question.

      I personally would just switch it out for “with” instead; it does slightly reframe the phrase but doesn’t change the question itself.

        outside of completely rewriting the question.

        Doesn’t require much rewriting tbh

      I… Where are you buying Caesars that you’re getting them with fried pickles/onion rings/etc?

      Or am I misunderstanding and you meant that those are on the side?

        A lot of places do some really crazy garnishes, rather than the traditional celery. I don’t like clams or tomato juice, but I have seen a Caesar with a burger slider on a skewer.
