Some of mine.

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.
Alcohol ruins desserts.

Should have added butternut squash and all marrow type things - just awful. And I’m vegetarian !

MissClareRemembers · 09/05/2019 19:46

Saffron tastes like stagnant water.
Shellfish is revolting and whilst it does indeed “taste of the ocean”, this is not a good thing.
Earl Grey tastes like washing up liquid when you’re running out and you put a bit of water in the bottle to eke it out.
Cauliflower is wondrous in a curry.

RattyTat · 09/05/2019 19:47

Saffron tastes like bleach to me. Awful stuff.

I second that tomatoes are disgusting, though I loved tomato sauces.

Avocado is revolting

MrsDilligaf · 09/05/2019 19:53

Lettuce. Specifically Iceberg Lettuce. It is the worst food item on the planet, hideous, vile tasting and its in every bloody sandwich because the sandwich makers of the world hate me.

Whoopstheregomyinsides · 09/05/2019 19:54

I’m starving now at some of these. Can not agree more about Yorkshire tea but I love earl grey sorry.

RockysMa · 09/05/2019 19:54

Pork Scratchings with hairs and nipples should be illegal
Best thing I've read today Grin

Hungrymamabear · 09/05/2019 19:55

Frey bentos pie is a guilty pleasure if mine although I haven't actually eaten one in nearly 10years!
Alcohol is vile (maybe because I am now 5years in sobriety life)
Cream cheese and beetroot on crackers is delicious.
Carrot/courgette/beetroot deffo do not belong in cakes.
Sparkling water is tastier than coca cola (IMO anyway)
Chocolate flavoured things are vile (especially milkshake and ice cream)
Nutella is to be eaten only on toast or straight from the jar with a spoon.
Spreadables are never to be eaten on bread only If the bread is toasted!

Ces6 · 09/05/2019 19:56

I never understand why people suggest having chocolate and wine. Org lovely but disgusting together.
Avocados taste of soap.

Sunshineandshowers81 · 09/05/2019 19:57

Salad cream tastes good on all dinners 😀

Sexnotgender · 09/05/2019 19:57

Fruit cake is shit
Christmas pudding is shit
Hot cross buns are shit
Mince pies are shit
Dried fruit ruins food

Seafood is revolting
Pineapple is amazing on pizza, particularly with pepperoni Smile

YouBumder · 09/05/2019 19:57

Porridge is vile
Jelly - the spunk of Satan

YouBumder · 09/05/2019 19:59

Oh and YY re kidneys. Who wants to eat something that filters piss?

hawleybits · 09/05/2019 19:59

The ridged penne pasta is impossible to cook perfectly- either too hard or too soggy.

Goats cheese ruins salads

IncyWincyGrownUp · 09/05/2019 20:00

When feeling crap, super noodles are a wonderful comfort food. They’re improved tenfold if eaten while watching old episodes of masterchef professionals.

kalinkafoxtrot45 · 09/05/2019 20:00

Pineapple on pizza is a thing of beauty.
Beetroot is wonderful and even better pickled so you can drink the yummy juice.
Eggs are vile.
So is strong cheddar, and blue cheese and goats cheese. All of these taste of old men’s pants.
Many meat based dishes are improved by the inclusion of raisins or apricots.
Sparkling water is superior to most fizzy drinks.
Gin is lovely and I adore all the interesting new flavours.
Fray Bentos pies and Vesta Beef Curries are guilty but wonderful pleasures. I wish they would bring back Vesta Chicken Curry.

Sparklingbrook · 09/05/2019 20:02

Candied peel is an abomination and ruins anything it touches.

Livpool · 09/05/2019 20:02

Avocados are disgusting

Jsmith99 · 09/05/2019 20:03

Undercooked eggs with snotty white are disgusting.
Pinot Grigio is wine for people who don’t like wine.
Peroni Nastro Azzuro is beer for people who don’t like beer.
Mild cheddar & Brie are cheese for people who don’t like cheese.
Chicken breast is meat for people who don’t like meat.

TakemedowntoPotatoCity · 09/05/2019 20:06

Pesto ruins any Italian dish.

AgnesNaismith · 09/05/2019 20:06

Vegetarian meat substitutes are probably less healthy than meat

Ticklingcheese · 09/05/2019 20:07

I really, really don't like tea.

How brits came up with this abomination being a cure for absolutely everything, is beyond me.

Pinkarsedfly · 09/05/2019 20:09

Chicken has no place on a pizza.
Chicken does not belong with pasta.
Cake is usually disappointing unless it’s home-made.
Fruit can stay out of my main course.
Salad cream is nicer than mayonnaise.

Sexnotgender · 09/05/2019 20:09

Pesto ruins any Italian dish.

If it’s shop bought I agree. Homemade pesto is delicious though.

cookiechomper · 09/05/2019 20:09

A really good fresh donner kebab is the most delicious food in the world.
