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.

@CakeNinja mince isn't a quality meat product though is it? It's fat and connective tissue. I'm more appalled that some places charge a lot of money for it tbh.

MurielBennett · 09/05/2019 23:21

I bloody love mince.

CakeNinja · 09/05/2019 23:24

Oh absolutely not a quality meat product at all, I completely agree.
I was just using mince as an example really of poor quality meat being sold off dirt cheap.
I don’t know if we still use MRM (I have a feeling the UK banned it sometime in the early 2000’s after bits of infected BSE cows spinal cord made it into human food ) and so it will contain a lot more than fat (which is one of the better things you can hope for in your meat!) and tissue, things like bone and other undesirables.
However, lots of very affordable meat comes from overseas where they don’t have as strict guidelines as to what food is and isn’t fit for human consumption - god knows what is in some of the really cheap processed meat people consume.
Anyway, I’m aware that I may come across as a being a pompous snob but I genuinely have an interest in putting good things into our bodies and by good things I mean as unprocessed as possible, and if I couldn’t afford to eat high welfare meat, I’d avoid it.

A good home cooked meal always beats a restaurant bought one

Corned beef is the food of the gods

HeronLanyon · 10/05/2019 00:00

stayathomer “dressings ruin salads” blimey ! That’s made me think - want to disagree with every bone in my body except Where the dressing is awful obvs.

GlitterPixie · 10/05/2019 00:03

summercandy · 10/05/2019 00:23

Oysters. Bad.
Chocolate and mint do not go together.

bakedbeanzontoast · 10/05/2019 00:26

Egg whites are nicer than the yolks. Semolina is amazing as is smash esp if lumpy.

Brussel spouts are delicious

Chocolate is over rated

IABUQueen · 10/05/2019 00:31

Soup is not a meal, it’s just a side.
Salad is not lunch, it’s a side.

Sushi is absolutely boring.

julensaor · 10/05/2019 00:31

jam and cheese on a cracker, Jesus don't get it

Willow2017 · 10/05/2019 00:34

Unless used sparingly chillies ruin everything. All you can taste are fecking burning hot chillies!
Salad cream beats mayo hands down and is the only thing needed on salads.😁
HP sauce is the only other sauce needed.
Steak is highly overrated.
Avocados are a tasteless waste of money.
Corned beef is definitely the food of the gods along with frey Bentos pies.
Ditto prunes in juice and rhubarb.
Olive oil is rank.

Proper mince is minced meat not leftovers and is delicious.
Red wine is rank. Why drink something that makes your mouth drier than before you drank it?
Eggs and cheese are essential for life.
Octopus just yeuk!
Yorkshire puddings are essential for any roast dinner.
There is no such thing as English mustard 'in moderation' on good ham.
Pickled beetroot is awesome and goes with everything.😀

Each to thier own and all that.

tobee · 10/05/2019 00:35

Keep trying food again and again through life with an open mind.

Pork scratchings with nipples and hairs are part of life's rich tapestry. Grin

Willow2017 · 10/05/2019 00:36

Oh jam and cheese is fab.

ilovepixie · 10/05/2019 00:42

Carrot and cake do no go together.
Pineapple belongs on a pizza
Mayo/ salad cream or anything containing these items belongs in the bin
Chips curry sauce and cheese is absolutely gorgeous

TheOriginalNutty · 10/05/2019 00:43

Peas are gross and in way too many dishes.
Marmite makes me heave.
Pickled onions are basically eyeballs and people crunch them 🤮
There is zero point to jelly even if alcoholic.

The best food is a fresh crusty loaf and real butter 😁

IABUQueen · 10/05/2019 00:55

Feta cheese tastes amazing with grapes.
And with watermelon.

Nutellalovesme · 10/05/2019 00:57

Pizza should only be deep pan

Mint in chocolate is disgusting

Gravy on chips is wrong

MrsFoxPlus4 · 10/05/2019 01:20

Hot drinks are vile.
Cheap mayo over name brands.
Baked beans stink.
Fruit always tastes sour to me so veggies for the win!
Any soup smells like an old folks home.

Newnyham · 10/05/2019 01:23

I HATE minty chocolate.

Especially because it's so hard to tell before you put it in your mouth if its minty or not.

Also can't deal with eating fish skin.

Ereshkigal · 10/05/2019 01:23

Custard is disgusting

Hot cross buns and other fruity breads and pastries go wonderfully with strong cheese

All sandwiches should involve crisps

Vinegar makes chips soggy and it's all you can taste

Peas are a rubbish vegetable side, so are boiled carrots (but I am polite and will eat them if someone else has made dinner)

Pizza with an egg on is the best

I can eat a whole jar of olives in front of the TV in an evening as a snack

Green beans have to be eaten with mayonnaise on (since an exchange visit to Spain as a teenager where the family ate them that way - even now my mum will get the mayo on the table if she cooks and we have green beans)

MrsFoxPlus4 · 10/05/2019 01:26

Quiche and cucumber are the most boring foods.

Tomato’s and sweet corn stink

clairemcnam · 10/05/2019 01:32

Chocolate cake is horrible
Yorkshire pudding is bland
Gravy ruins a good Sunday roast

And buy steak mince. That is never MRC. It has to be actual meat that is minced up.

clairemcnam · 10/05/2019 01:33

Also steak is okay but nothing amazing.
