For those of you who are challanged gegraphically, here's a southern treat that may not make it to the northern parts. Maple syrup is good but pure Cane Syrup, not molasses or sorghum is a taste treat. It is increasingly hard to find in chain grocery stores but can be ordered from several makers web sites.
Irish/English/German mix here. I drink nothing sweet and really hate anything sweet that isn’t supposed to be sweet. There is nothing more disgusting in the world than a perfectly good cuke being turned into a sweet pickle! ICK!
Hubby and I are both equally european in descent, both 1/2 second generation american born and both 100% euro, he likes sugar in coffee and I don’t. I don’t really like sweet drinks at all. A good cold soda once in a while that is about it. But I put sugar on cereal and he does not. The kid takes after him in this, as in most things.
English, Welsh, Scots, French, and German ancestry here: I concur with your analysis.
To paraphrase Monty Python, "Butter, butter, butter, waffles, and butter."
Sweetened whipped cream; syrups; sugar in coffee AND tea; extra thick frostings and icings....
I think you have to distinguish between sensitivity to sweetness and liking sweetness. Personally, I dislike whole wheat bread because it tastes too sweet to me -- well, not nearly sweet enough for dessert, but sweet enough to ruin anything that's not supposed to be dessert! So I think I'm pretty sensitive to sweet. OTOH, when I do want something sweet, it ain't gonna be whole wheat bread. ;-)
I agree with that! And, for me, it should include chocolate.
In my family, it’s a last little bit of potato after dessert. :’)
