Sushi is horrible the rice is tasteless (I know Sushi is the rice and I have had supposedly great sushi)

Chips with Chinese food is delicious

So is McDonalds I love their gerkins

Jelly and poridge are vile

Wimpey 1/4 pounder with chips is heavenly

Ideatcakeforbreakfast · 10/05/2019 20:02

Avocado is revolting. Salad cream is by far superior to mayonnaise. Raw onions are the devil's work. Cheese and marmite is awesome.

Coriander doesn't belong with food

A pie is NOT a pie unless it has a top, bottom and sides. END OF.

mimibunz · 10/05/2019 21:15

Mayonnaise is revolting
Raw onions are vile
Raisins should be illegal
Beef is gross
Peanut butter and jam sandwiches are brilliant

Unfermented soya flour has no place in bread, baps, rolls, muffins nor as part replacement for wheat flour in anything.

...and it is in all fucking bread products apart from Aldi and Sainsburys muffins, crumpets and Tesco finest sliced bread (last I looked).

It's one of the top food allergens in the world and can fuck your guts up even if you're not actually properly allergic. It screws with your hormones (especially women's) , too much is carcinogenic and it makes bread taste like undercooked but somehow burnt tasting shit. It's funny bone dry tooth squeaky bite which leaves a squashed whiter than white line when you bite your sandwich is vile.

It is only there to soak up a shit tonne of water like a fucking a super absorbant sponge. It's not there to add protein, you bread industry lying bastards. It's there to maximise profits by cutting down on the amount of dry ingredients you have to use to produce a 500 gram loaf by adding as much water as possible before people refuse to eat it.

(Although some indications are that people are beginning to refuse to eat it and have started making their own)

I can see it.
I can taste it.
Fuck, I can even smell it. (Slight dry pet food smell)
You can shove it up your collective bread industry arseholes.

I'm sick of making bread so I can have a god damn normal bread textured unadulerated sandwich that I can actually chew and swallow.
My fucking wrists are dropping off.

That concludes my rant for today...and breathe.

Liquid egg yolks/very soft eggs are gut wrenching
Eggs in egg sauce (egg mayonnaise, eggs benedict etc) are beyond awful
Soft food (mash, soufflé, over-boiled wet broccoli etc) can only be tolerated on days that my brain can cope with the texture
Nearly all savoury food is improved by the addition of a chili based seasoning or hot sauce
Subway bread absolutely stinks
Low fat yogurts taste of gritty powdered milk and aspartame
Nearly all Slimming World/diety 'hack meals'/fakeaways/things boiled in diet coke are manky non-food
Bean sauce is the absolute worst
Full English/Irish/whatever breakfasts are not worth the hassle of making them
Most takeaway is not worth the cost

zukiecat · 10/05/2019 22:26

All fish and seafood is disgusting

All Tea is horrible, Butter, milk, cream, yogurts and anything else milky/creamy is horrible.

Vegetables taste much better raw than cooked, similarly all cooked fruit is vile

Baked beans are vile, so are mashed tatties

I'd better stop now, I have a huge list of dislikes Grin

Rumboogie · 11/05/2019 00:03

Garlic is ghastly
Salt belongs in nothing
Celery mings
Goat's cheese makes me retch
Continental style chocolates are absolutely disgusting
and as for artificial sweeteners - don't ask!

The80sweregreat · 11/05/2019 19:34

Agree that I've had better supermarket curries than you get in sit in restaurants or take aways.
Liver is awful and I admire folk that eat it!

CakeNinja · 12/05/2019 07:02

Aethelthryth - pretty sure Nutella is Italian.

graziemille567 · 12/05/2019 07:33

I hate tea - all tea.
The best burger ever is the McDonalds pound saver cheeseburger - it can't be improved upon.
Cucumber is disgusting and infects everything it touches with its foul taste.

LordProfFekkoThePenguinPhD · 12/05/2019 09:20

Nutella definitely was Italian (who knows these days) but tastes like poo. Yuk.

beanaseireann · 12/05/2019 09:37

I hate Nutella- why ruin chocolate by adding hazelnuts- ?
Praline - the same!

beanaseireann · 12/05/2019 09:38

I meant to add those ghastly Ferrero Rocher to my list. And Black Magic chocolates.
As a child my heart would sink if visitors brought Black Magic. Smile

Yoursilentface · 12/05/2019 10:27

I like Nutella, on toast with peanut butter.

I agree with praleene chocolates though. So one else can have those and those rank white chocolate and lemon ones, blurgh.

I love all Turkish delight!

Ereshkigal · 12/05/2019 10:34

I'll have the praline, Black Magic and Ferrero Rocher.

Ereshkigal · 12/05/2019 10:35

Not keen on white chocolate.

BogglesGoggles · 12/05/2019 10:38

Corriander is the best herb
Pineapple is the best pizza topping
Teabag tea isn’t real tea

TildaKauskumholm · 12/05/2019 10:46

@MerryBerryCheesecake I make bread too as I want something wholesome, and now use the Grant loaf recipe... no kneading and always turns out great.

GETTINGLIKEMYMOTHER · 12/05/2019 13:05

Goats' cheese smells and tastes vile.

Fried eggs with bright yellow yolks and therefore revolting uncooked slimy white on top, should be illegal, and my dh is VVVU to think I'm weird about this.

DelphiniumBlue · 12/05/2019 14:38

Messing with chocolate should not be allowed. Mixing chocolate with fake fruit flavours ( chocolate orange, Terry's, Jaffa cakes, ) or even real fruit( Black Forest gateau) should be punishable by banishment.
Also flavoured coffee. Coffee is a drink for slightly hard, cool grownups. Not for people who want it to look and taste like a child's milkshake. It's meant to be a little bitter. Putting syrup in it, ( or hazelnuts fgs) is for teenagers and lightweights!

bumblingbovine49 · 12/05/2019 14:42

Soup is not worth eating
( no not even your delicious home made recipe)
Ditto gravy
( yes even on roast dinners. Well made dinners require no gravy at all,it makes everything soggy)
Mashed potato is disgusting

MrsFoxPlus4 · 12/05/2019 14:43

Soup is not worth eating
( no not even your delicious home made recipe)

I hate it and the smells 😂

Hiddenaspie1973 · 12/05/2019 14:45

Cupcakes have waaayyyy too much icing.
I scrape it off and bin it first.

Spiralizers are stupid.

I could live on eggs alone
