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.

@EssentialHummus Can you please share your supermarket curry recommendations?? Our favourite Indian takeaway has just changed their menu / recipes and we're looking for alternatives that don't cost too much!

ThatCurlyGirl · 10/05/2019 09:01

Olives are basically shit grapes.

They fooled me once.

Never again.

MilkTrayLimeBarrel · 10/05/2019 09:18

Avocados - yuck!
All types of pasta - yuckity yuck!
Hummous - looks and tastes disgusting
HP Sauce - DH has this on nearly everything!

Agree re eggs - OK cooked in something but never on their own (stems from eating one which was off when I was a kid!)

Olives, aubergines, cabbage, sweet potatoes - all horrible

Fake butter - makes me mad when buying roll or sandwich in a shop - assistant says 'would you like butter?', but it's spread! Disgusting stuff - I'd rather have dry bread.

Rapeseed oil makes me ill but is in nearly everything you buy now.

Interested in this thread?

Fennel should be illegal
Raw tomatoes are vile
Blue cheese is overrated
Normal gin is far superior to flavoured

SauvingnonBlanketyBlanc · 10/05/2019 09:43

There should have been full stops in there!

SauvingnonBlanketyBlanc · 10/05/2019 10:01

@Aethelthryth Nutella is Italian Smile

OneThreadOnly0101 · 10/05/2019 10:02

Avocado is bland and pointless.

Fazackerley · 10/05/2019 10:02

Green beans are much nicer cooked until they are floppy. Squeaky beans are disgusting.

Fazackerley · 10/05/2019 10:05

Waitrose take away curries are nicer than actual take away

Supermarket white bread is vile and the source of all our health problems

Sugar is better for you than sweeteners

Cooking everything from scratch is easy and people who buy everything pre-packaged are lazy and uneducated.

MangosteenSoda · 10/05/2019 10:23

No flesh on pizza apart from ham or anchovies. Yes to pineapple on pizza.

I love cheese, but never, ever on a burger.

I just can't get excited about Prosecco and I love a glass (or 3) of bubbles.

Peanut butter (any nut butter!) is a breakfast staple. On sliced apple, on sliced banana, on toast topped with rhubarb jam.

Marmalade needs to fuck off.

Bluesheep8 · 10/05/2019 10:25

Agree about avocado. Tastes of cucumber fragranced soap and the texture is revoting.

Fazackerley · 10/05/2019 10:46

Oh god, yes. Prosecco is disgusting. Basically an alco-pop.

stayathomer · 10/05/2019 11:20

Heron Maybe I've never had a good one but whether at someone else's house or a restaurant it just seems they've wrecked some beautiful ingredients by drizzling it in lemon/ something fatty seeming!!!

clairemcnam · 10/05/2019 11:28

I like pineapple on pizza.

DennisSkinnersMolotov · 10/05/2019 11:42

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.

Completely agree. Was coming here to post that salad cream on chips is far superior to ketchup or mayo.

Blue cheese is wrong. It's MOULDY. If your cheddar was blue you'd put it in the bin.

Goats cheese is minging and tastes the same as goats smell.

Toast is better buttered when slightly cool so the butter doesn't melt too much.

DennisSkinnersMolotov · 10/05/2019 11:44

Marzipan is properly grim and ruins perfectly good cake. Devils play-doh.

Garden peas are vile and they get fucking everywhere like little vegetable ninjas.

Gingerkittykat · 10/05/2019 13:36

Yorkshire pudding is bland
Gravy ruins a good Sunday roast

OMG, you deserve to have your British citizenship revoked immediately!

I hate baked beans.
I hate tea.
I hate ice cream.
I hate raisins.
I love pappy white bread
Prawn cocktail crisps are the best
No sandwich is complete without crisps

clairemcnam · 10/05/2019 13:41

Also crisps are a waste of a good potato

Purplelion · 10/05/2019 14:30

Pineapple does NOT belong on pizza.
Strawberries are amazing, anything strawberry flavoured (Yoghurt, ice cream, sweets etc) is vile.
Early grey and Yorkshire tea are vile (I like Assam)
Scrambled eggs should be removed from the heat whilst still snotty and allowed to cook or else they are overcooked!
Gravy ruins a roast dinner.

Madein1995 · 10/05/2019 14:42

Chocolate ice cream is horrible, and does not taste like proper chocolate

Nor , for that matter, does chocolate milkshake

Greggs chicken mayo baguette is lush

Pumpkin/ upper crust etc are horrid. Upper crust especially uses far too much mayo

Subway is lovely

Pret a manger isnt anything special

Flavoured gin is great but no need for those gin o clock merchandise bullshit

Seafood (fishy fish) isnt nice. Anyone stinking the office out with Tuna, mackerel etc needs shooting (jokes)

Costa coffee is actually really nice especially the new salted caramel latte

Costa mint choc chip frostino is basically mint ice cream and is lush

Tesco finest pizza with the Tesco sour cream dip (which has sadly been discontinued) is the food of god's and much nicer than dominos

ThatCurlyGirl · 10/05/2019 15:04

@Madein1995 Oh god now I really want a subway. I have my script at the ready every time.

Foot long Italian please, chicken, double cheese, yes please toasted, lettuce, red onion, gherkins, more gherkins, some more gherkins please, no sauce thanks that's perfect just a couple more gherkins thanks so much. No meal deal thanks just the sub.

Aaaaand EAT.

BummyKnocker · 10/05/2019 19:03

The only useful thing to do with cold roast chicken is to make sandwiches, otherwise, any dish is just a stringy mess.

Parsley ruins many a dish.

clairemcnam · 10/05/2019 19:15

Cold roast chicken makes an easy meal served with vegetables and pickle.

Nameusernameuser · 10/05/2019 19:20

Coriander should be ILLEGAL. Disgusting soapy stuff that ruins everything it touches.

wishing4sun · 10/05/2019 19:28

Avocado is gross.
Cheese in any form is amazing.
Pineapple +pizza no no no.
Pasta yes cheese sauce yum - macaroni cheese yukk, same with cauliflower cheese which incidentally does not belong with a roast dinner.

Stuffing must go on any roast dinner, as must Yorkshire puddings.

Never ever to much garlic.

Wine should never be wasted in food.
