to think some food tastes better overcooked?

[Thisnamechanger]

broccoli (esp if covered in butter)
long grain rice
spaghetti (ditto butter)

AIBU?

[LiquoriceLane]

YANBU. I love my asparagus roasted to death.

[TheQueef]

Bacon.
I hate insipid flabby undercooked bacon.
I want it cremated.

[Thisnamechanger]

TheQueef with burnt salty bits

[YesQueen]

@TheQueef YES!
also crumpets, roast potatoes and sausages

[Thisnamechanger]

crumpets need three gos in the toaster in my house

[elizabethdraper]

Crispy cheese

[Treaclesweet]

Macaroni or cauliflower cheese. Best bits are always the burnt edges.
YABVVVU r.e brocalli though.

[Kedgeree]

Sausages.
Lamb and duck, can't stand either of them "pink".

[Bluntness100]

Totally, I quite like my veggies a bit soggy, bacon needs to be done to a crisp as does anything cheesy,,,🤣

[Kedgeree]

Toast. Warmed bread is not toast.

[SauvingnonBlanketyBlanc]

Sausages
Bacon
Cheese
Pizza

[BobbinThreadbare123]

Potatoes. Can't stand hard potatoes. Give me a cooked to death jacket spud over a just cooked one any day!

[Kedgeree]

Scrambled eggs - I make mine bouncy. DH likes them sloppy .

[Thisnamechanger]

YABVVVU r.e brocalli though

Haha I thought I probably was; reminds me of that quote from Zadie Smith's White teeth:

"“Where I come from," said Archie, "a bloke likes to get to know a girl before he marries her."
"Where you come from it is customary to boil vegetables until they fall apart. This does not mean," said Samad tersely, "that it is a good idea.” "

Before even clicking on this thread I was thinking broccoli ha.

[LiquoriceLane]

The almost burned bits of cakes are lovely.

[TheQueef]

Bubble and squeak.
I micro mine to steaming hot before frying just so I get the crust on the bottom. Anything else is just mash and veg.

[BaronessBomburst]

Crumpets have to have a hard, crunchy top and a squidgy middle, and so much butter that it runs everyehere when you bite them.

[Crockof]

Agree! Esp crumpets, broccoli and bacon

Toast is tricky... Agree not warmed bread yuk but also not burnt

[GoldenHour]

Broccoli cheese bake with bacon bits, obliterate the lot 🤤

[Kobea]

Bacon
Lasagne
Toasties

[Doghorsechicken]

I second the almost burnt parts of cake. DM used to make cakes as a sideline whilst we were young and if she ever over cooked one it went to DB & I. Love overcooked cake!!

[BlooperReel]

Yes! Brussel sprouts I roast in the oven with bacon bits and butter, when they have smoky black bits on top they are done

Potato wedges, need to be a bit crispy for me.
Bacon - the fat needs to be crisp.
Steak - I get called a heathen but cannot abide too much pink.
Cauliflower cheese - best when a bit crispy on top.

[LiquoriceLane]

Yes to Brussels sprouts. Actually make that all roasted veg.

[redwoodmazza]

Tomatoes - they taste so much better when a bit charred.
