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.

Spuds ruin everything

Peanut butter is luvverly just spooned out of the tub.

Bouledeneige · 10/05/2019 01:59

Cant bear avocado - like eating lumps of marg
Cant bear artichoke either or corn on the cob and sweetcorn
Meat and fruit should not be combined
Fruit should never be cooked
Veg and pasta should never be tinned
Don't really like mashed potato or fried eggs (yuck)
Don't like gin
Oysters - just no
Razor clams - no

But I do love liver, mussells, scallops, prawns, lobster
and although I like aubergine, asparagus and squash, the best veg are salads, broccoli, peas and spinach

tuna on a pizza is awesome

I would sooner cut my fucking head off than eat such an abomination.

Avacado is rank.
Putting condiments on everything in rank.
Fruit does not belong with a savory meal.
Most fruit based desserts are a waste of calories.

Yoursilentface · 10/05/2019 02:59

Urgh fennel is rank and pointless. Who the fuck wants an onion that tastes like blackjacks.

Yoursilentface · 10/05/2019 03:03

Chocolate and mint do not go together

What is wrong with you? Chocolate and mint is the greatest combo. Mint choc chip ice-cream, after eights, MINT AREO!

Yoursilentface · 10/05/2019 03:19

Chinese take away is horrid and greecy.
Fried chicken is disgusting
Domino's is fowl
In fact all take out and fast food is crap, other than fish and chips and Indian.

Fish and chips can only be eaten with gravy.

Red velvet cake just tastes like food colouring.

Wincarnis · 10/05/2019 03:26

Garlic should be illegal
As should any alcohol in food, octopus, avocado, eggs and couscous

On the other hand, weekly fish and chips should be compulsory!

OkPedro · 10/05/2019 03:33

Gravy on fish 😳 holy jaysus, that’s not right!
IMO Indian take away has much more grease than a Chinese.

hopefulhalf · 10/05/2019 05:56

Wow I hope some of you never, come round to mine. I can't stand unadventourus picky eaters (I know I am an unreasonable metropolitan snob) I have ended relationships over it.

hopefulhalf · 10/05/2019 05:57

Oh my controversial opinion- crab is nicer than lobster.

Beetroot tastes of mud
nutella proves that the French are not always right about food
Prosecco is horrible
Chocolate should never be combined with fruit
Chocolate cake should be eaten with coffee, never tea.
Liver and kidneys are delicious
Roast parsnips are delicious but should be kept separate from roast potatoes so that they are not a surprise
Plain vanilla ice cream (home made) with raspberries is the nicest possible pudding

GETTINGLIKEMYMOTHER · 10/05/2019 07:20

Cream is horrible.
Milk in tea tastes vile.
Prawns with their 'clothes' on just make me think of cockroaches, only pink.

JenniferJareau · 10/05/2019 07:30

Fruit in savory food is disgusting. Don't make a nice dish then slap a bloomin apricot in it Angry

Pineapple has NO place on a pizza.

Meat cooked anything under medium / well is disgusting.

Raw fish is foul. If you can't be bothered to cook it, I can't be bothered to eat it.

missyfafa · 10/05/2019 07:31

Cheese does NOT go with seafood.

stucknoue · 10/05/2019 07:40

Canned pilchards are delicious, ditto tapioca (I usually a very competent cook but I love these!)

BuildBuildings · 10/05/2019 07:41

Mayonnaise is the devil's work. In fact I think it should be illegal.
Meat and fish are gross
Eggs are ok in stuff on their own they make me retch e.g. Cake not Spanish omelette or poached.
Tofu is delicious

Sirzy · 10/05/2019 07:41

Tomato sauce should be banned

Oblomov19 · 10/05/2019 07:44

Christ you lot are judgemental.
I eat almost every foodstuff. Apart from slimey things: cockles; whelks; snails.

Sparklingbrook · 10/05/2019 08:03

Oh no thanks to crab and lobster. Things that need special tools to crack their limbs open to eat. Complete with sound. No no no.

Yoursilentface · 10/05/2019 08:16

Indian take away has much more grease than a Chinese.

I disagree, a good Indian take away is not greecy at all, as long as you don't get anything deep fried. Chinese takeout is always greecy.

TheLastNigel · 10/05/2019 08:33

Avocados are vile. Taste and texture grim.
And they are very calorific -I don't care if it's 'good fat'-id sooner have a Mars Bar...

SnuffleBadger · 10/05/2019 08:53

Olives are Satan's eyeballs.
Serving anything other than real butter should be a criminal offence.
Melon does not count as a starter.
Tapas isn't a proper meal.
Full fat yoghurts only.

Sparklingbrook · 10/05/2019 08:55

I agree Snuffle, i would rather not have a yoghurt than wade through a runny Muller Light.
