Why do guys seem to hate Quiche?

[castlewise]

Is this really a thing? I've never heard of it, but I've only lived in the US.

 

[Sandernista]

I love quiche!

 

[The-Epicly-Named-Man]

It's something bizarre that I keep noticing in popular culture, the idea that a "real man" doesn't eat Quiche. Am I the only one who's never understood this?

No, but you're the only person who notices it. I myself am a huge fan of quiche, but I've never seen any hate for it.

 

[Pinstar]

Wrong application. See packaging and presentation is everything. Quiche, just the name alone does not look appetizing. The dish itself isn't terribly nice to look at either.

However, if you throw it on a round of dough you can re-name it "Breakfast Pizza". Suddenly the baked egg dish transforms the dubious to the curious.

I am a guy and I love quiche! First time I have heard of it being unmanly then again I don't ever see threads or have conversations about quiche.

 

[PatrickXD]

Most quiche I eat is stuffed with bacon and/or blue cheese. Women I know don't touch the stuff, and I love it.

It's something bizarre that I keep noticing in popular culture, the idea that a "real man" doesn't eat Quiche. Am I the only one who's never understood this? I mean, it's basically scrambled eggs with cheese, nobody ever sees a problem with that. Can somebody just explain to me when and how we decided it wasn't a "manly" food?

It's the name.
Real manly men like when the name of a particular thing sounds manly and cool. If it doesn't, they don't like it.
Try to imagine Dirty Harry or Scarface say "quiche".

This is yet another case of me being totally confused. Is this really a thing? Do they take away one of your man cards for quiche eating? I've never heard this and it doesn't make sense. Then again, a lot of the concept of "manliness" seems to escape me, so I'm not the right guy for the job anyway, it just seems odd to me. Ah well.

I know what you're thinking: "Did he eat six pieces, or only five?" Well, to tell you the truth, in all this excitement, I've kinda lost track myself. But being this is a quiche lorraine, the most delicious quiche in the world, and would blow your taste buds clean off, you've got to ask yourself one question: "Do I feel lucky?" Well, do ya, punk?

Hey, works for me. I know what I'm cooking tomorrow.

 

[Zykon TheLich]

I like quiche, depending on the type. Crust is often too thick though.

 

[Alcamonic]

I googled it and it looks like a pie, sorta. Pies are unmanly?
I enjoy, does that add enough man points to counter it?

How on earth did you quote me for someone else's post?

That said... I DO feel lucky! *GULP* Awwww yeah. QUICHED!
Am I Quiche-draw McGraw? Do I lose a man-card for THAT joke?

 

[Jacob Haggarty]

Well, i quite like quiche, depending on who makes it. If my MUM makes a spinach and bacon quiche, then i'll pass, because usually what it is (my mum is an excellent cook, just to say) is a mouthful of soggy spinach, with a smattering of egg, cheese and -if you're lucky- a tiny bit of bacon. Although, if theres no spinach in it anyway, its really good (bacon central).

However, store-bought quiche is usually quite nice.

 

[ANImaniac89]

I am a man and I like it,

With Spinach and mushrooms.

 

[KaosuHamoni]

I fucking love homemade quiche. Cheese, spinach and tomato omnomnom, however, while there are a few exceptions, I find shop-bought quiche bland and uninteresting.

 

[Ace of Spades]

My mom makes delicious quiche. Eggs, cheese, and bacon in a pie crust, what's not to like?

 

[The Grim Ace]

All of those "real men" never had quiche lorraine. That defines culinary orgasms many times over.

 

[The Great JT]

I don't like the taste.

 

[Vanguard_Ex]

Its like a mother fucking bacon, egg and veg pie just without the top crust. Thats manly as balls!
Quiche is awesome, end 'o story.

It's cold. And jellyfied. And cold.

Cold and jellyfied? Thats not a quiche... quiche contains no gelatin and should be served hot.

It does feel kind of jellyfied. I don't know why but, I really don't like quiche.
Not because of any kind of supposed role, I just don't like it...which is weird because I fucking adore egg.

I second this. I love eggs, but I can't stand quiche.

It's like, a shitty omlette, that had had sex with a pie, and the offspring of that coupling was the quiche.
