The Gnocchi Challenge

My neighbor Pujah gave me some left over gnocchi she had made from the box. I had never had this form of gnocchi before so my hopes were high and optimistic. The second I bit into the gnocchi I regretted it. It was so mushy and the sauce was bland. I wanted to slap her for giving me this shit. But I did't, I just offered to make her real gnocchi. I love Italian food, culture, and language. I went to my trusty cooking assistant, Google, and searched what gnocchi was exactly. After finding that it is mostly potato kinda made into a pasta, I was on the roll. It took FOREVER to make the dough, but the sauce was great. So I presented this handmade gnocchi in garlic parm, sauce to her, and she swooned. I love getting it right... Have you ever had a food and hated it? What was it?
