Raisins(And walnuts) ruin everything.
A really good burger is nicer than steak.
Garlic bread is better without cheese.
Chocolate ice cream is revolting.
Earl Grey tea is awful.
Yorkshire tea is disgusting.
Vegetables are nicer than fruit.

I find chocolate flavoured anything is usually disappointing
I dont like crumble
Completely agree that cheese ruins garlic bread
Dont like early grey tea
I really want to like herbal teas but apart from a mint tea when I have a cold or a sore tummy I dont like it.

Peanut butter and marmite sandwiches are amazing.

Anyone over the age of 10 that has ketchup needs to have a word with themselves.
Gammon tastes like sweaty feet.

Meat makes me wretch.
Rooibos tea is truly the devil's work
Tomato soup over mashed potato always makes me feel better if I'm poorly.

DonnaDarko · 09/05/2019 19:16

Peanut butter and jam sandwiches are food of the gods

EssentialHummus · 09/05/2019 19:17

Some supermarket curry is better than the stuff for sale in restaurants.

horizontalis · 09/05/2019 19:17

Agree with most of those, OP. Would like to add:

Aubergines are slimy and vile.
Scrambled egg needs to be bouncy.

DramaAlpaca · 09/05/2019 19:18

Chicken has no place on a pizza
Carrots have no business in cakes
Seafood is disgusting

All shellfish are disgusting.
I agree Earl Grey tea is horrible as is Gin.
Avocados are yuk.
Pork Scratchings with hairs and nipples should be illegal.
Baked potatoes should be done in the proper oven or not at all.

rubydiamondsapphire · 09/05/2019 19:20

Prawns are foul
Spicy food is foul and often tasteless
fruit in cheese is wrong

Vinorosso74 · 09/05/2019 19:21

Cinnamon ruins a perfectly good apple pie or crumble.
Cheese is good as is garlic bread but together just no.
Squash (the drink) is wrong.

Sparklingbrook · 09/05/2019 19:21

Charlie Bigham's ready meals are nicer than I can make myself.

shaggedthruahedgebackwards · 09/05/2019 19:24

Avocado is a slimy abomination
Coffee smells and tastes disgusting and ruins cakes and chocolates too
Crisps are meh
Christmas pudding is the best pudding
Christmas cake is the best cake
Cheesecake in a pub/restaurant is usually a massive disappointment

Progress2019 · 09/05/2019 19:24

Mayonnaise is all well and good, but salad cream is so much better, especially with cold meat, and chips, or in sandwiches - particularly cheese, ham, tuna or fish fingers.

Melon may look pretty, and smell nice but doesn’t have any flavour. Give me a nectarine any day of the week.

HeronLanyon · 09/05/2019 19:25

Cheese and egg should never meet - hot or cold.
Beets are foul in all ‘treatments’
Cream ruins fruit completely
There is no such thing as too much garlic.

flameycakes · 09/05/2019 19:28

Anything but butter on toast is an abomination, and gawd forbid it isn't spread to the edges.

FudgeBrownie2019 · 09/05/2019 19:33

Home made custard never tastes as lovely as Ambrosia boxed stuff.
Anyone who eats kidney should leave the UK for crimes against food.
Raisins are sadness in food form and brighten up nothing.
Aubergines are the most pointless thing on earth and can never be made to taste good.
MIL's lasagne should be used as a chemical weapon and fed as a punishment to everyone who puts raisins into my food. Ditto her tea (blacker than my heart and twice as vile).

Drogosnextwife · 09/05/2019 19:34

I cannot agree with you on raisins and walnuts, chocolate ice cream and alcohol in most deserts and chocolates is amazing, and I don't drink actual alcohol very often.

Agree with you on the rest though.

Bananas in deserts are disgusting.
Shop bought birthday cakes are revolting.
Avocado tastes of nothing.
Tomatoes are disgusting.
Balsamic vinegar ruins everything it touches.
Most crisps are shit and I don't know why people waste calories on them.
Salads the most boring "meal" ever.

formerbabe · 09/05/2019 19:34

I love fruit with savoury food.

I hate savoury pies.

Drogosnextwife · 09/05/2019 19:35

Tomato ketchup is revolting and is smells Terry and honestly should be illegal.

Drogosnextwife · 09/05/2019 19:41

It smells terrible, not is smells Terry!
