Good grief. I was hoping Covid would mean the end of things like that

American-style pancakes with bacon and syrup are an abomination. French toast is overrated. Red velvet cake aint all that.

Agree with all those.

Syrup and bacon should not come within miles of each other.

Mint sauce goes on all roast dinners, not just chicken. In fact mint jelly with roast chicken is one of the nicest things ever.

It isn't the same as a buffet though because with a grazing table the food is all directly on the table. No plates

No plates? Good grief! Sticky fingers and crumbs everywhere.

I agree that syrup on bacon is a foul abomination and anybody engaged in such practices ought to go on a list.

Avocados are yukk sick of getting them on everything they taste awful plus the number of injuries preparing them is phenomenal

Celebrities are boring and pointless and should just be completely ignored.

Scotland is not some sort of utopia when it comes to buying and selling property. In fact, you’re likely to overpay by tens of thousands.

Magpies are beautiful, clever birds

IHeartGeneHunt · 13/05/2023 07:01

@Redebs yes I agree. And starlings and crows.

No. Magpies are not. They are the avian version of the West End thugs of the 50s and 60s, dressed up in designer suits and terrifying smaller and weaker birds.

IHeartGeneHunt · 13/05/2023 09:38

@Snippysocks well yes that too. But they're beautiful whilst they're being bastards.

The Loewe puzzle bag is really ugly

It makes me laugh because this bag shape used to be on trend at some point in the late 90s/early 2000s. I had a very similar looking bag from Dorothy Perkins when I was a young teenager. I found it in my parents attic a few years ago and thought 'what an ugly bag, what on earth was I thinking when I bought that?'. It makes me wonder whether people who have invested in the puzzle bag will be thinking the same in a few years time.

Christmas should NOT be white, unless you live in a country where it's supposed to be white at that time of year.

The whole concept of 'big' 'milestone' birthdays should be abolished.

No one should be forced or pressed to wear high heeled shoes (if you wish to, up to you).

Men with exaggeratedly rippling muscles are revolting. Doubly so if they go around shirtless.

Coffee is horrible.

Ooh no, coffee is great! Even better than tea!

Vanilla is the best ice cream flavour.

Totally agree!

It looks lovely to me, I wouldn't mind sharing with family and friends!

Banana cake is vile, if you were to throw it at someone's head it would most likely knock them out.

To ImInTheMoneyLife agree with you I love eating raw cake batter

GETTINGLIKEMYMOTHER · 09/10/2023 08:15

Sweet potatoes are vastly overrated.

enchantedsquirrelwood · 09/10/2023 08:20

Earl grey tea tastes like perfume

Normal tea without sugar tastes like cats pee (I have never drunk cats pee, to be clear, but it's how I imagine it tastes!)

Agreed! Fine in soup, meh otherwise.
