But you're right about some of those things.
Aspic?

Whoever did their photos doesn’t understand “canned fruit”. Looks like home-preserved fruit - they should have posted a picture of that godawful canned fruit cocktail. Apparently nobody does frozen concentrate orange juice anymore either Steve has a small glass every morning with breakfast, and the frozen concentrate section in the grocery store has gotten tiny. It’s less expensive and less wasteful (packaging-wise) than those big plastic bottles of juice.
I adore blue cheese and meatloaf. And the taste of American cheese (though I never buy it).

American cheese is great for grilled cheese and scrambled eggs. It melts great because it's essentially Velveeta.

Which is what I did with it for dinner on Friday, LOL.
You put it in scrambled eggs? Do tell....
ETA: Oh, and blue cheese crumbles on a burger!

the only cheese we put in our scrambled eggs is Tillamook extra sharp white cheddar. I hated velveeta growing up (it was cheap and my mom used it to make open face cheese sandwiches), but I loved it later, melted and mixed with salsa as a warm dip for tortilla chips (only then you get a salt hangover the next day).

I have never understood how fruitcake has survived for so long. Nobody I know has ever confessed to actually liking it.
My theory is that it survives because 97% of sales are to people who give them as gifts to other people who also don't like them. Those people either -- you guessed it -- give them as gifts or leave them in the fridge until they're totally dried out and moldy, and then throw them out. "Oh, what a shame, Aunt Percy's fruitcake spoiled. Again."

Me too - there are some really good ones out there. Sort of sad - the bad reputation they get. But I also love plum pudding (my Dad was British) and mince pie. I started candying my own orange and lemon peel - it’s easy and makes a huge difference (the stuff you buy at most grocery stores is pretty awful).

Heck, yeah! And your dad being british, I bet you eat plum pudding with hard sauce, yes?

We used those growing up. Wow, almost forgot about them. We used an immersion blender to mix up the OJ. Funny what things are normal to you as a kid.

I eat blue cheese and McDonalds is a guilty pleasure, though their quarter pounders are getting more and more greasy to the point of being hard to eat. I still sneak in one of their sausage biscuits once every month or two on average.
I don't eat anything else on that list. I suppose I'd eat meatloaf if it were presented to me.
