Food you don't understand

[ChippySauce]

Crumbed ham.

I don't get it.
What does the crumb bring?
It can't be textural as it's usually soggy.
Can any crumbed ham aficionados please enlighten me?

Are there other food mysteries you'd like clearing up?

Polenta. Like a shite mashed potato.

What about a chocolate dipped strawberry?

Everyone has already agreed that strawberries and chocolate are an abomination.

That's polenta cooked horribly. Polenta cooked with garlic and smoky paprika then cooled, cut into chip-sized slices, tossed in dried polenta with a bit of salt and some more garlic granules and paprika, then bakes until crispy in the oven is delicious. The yellow wallpaper paste version is disgusting.

Oh sorry I missed that. I love them!

It’s not 🤢

Tripe!

....that is all

I remember my Gran used to cook it in milk iirc...the smell I definitely remember correctly 🤮🤮

It is..

Not the same for everyone, think its an enzyme causing it. Its good for your kidneys!👍

@wavingfuriously i like it, I’ve only ever had the packet one ! I was In sainsburys and a shopper asked me where it was turned out she was buying 20 packets to take to her daughter in Spain.

strawberries are fruit. you do not put fruit with chocolate. you don't even put chocolate with fruit. end of.

except to say a chocolate dipped strawberry is disgusting.

Well I love chocolate dipped strawberries and orange chocolate 😆

orange and chocolate is even worse!!! Bleurgh!!!

Dark chocolate with raspberry 😋

It's revolting stuff!

I've never eaten it ,it smells and looks awful

I love cauliflower but cauliflower pizza (where they make the base out of cauliflower) is truly truly revolting, and I’ll eat anything!

@JPMJuliz I didn’t even know that existed 🤮 it’s like cauliflower rice and that courgette ‘spaghetti’ ABSOUTLEY awful
my sister is a good one for this, always swapping out Ingredients In recipes to make them ‘healthier’ they definitely make you eat less becuase they are always disgusting like using zero fat cottage cheese as a lasagne topping 🤮🤮🤮

Agreed! Cauliflower rice 🤢
courgettes slices grilled with reasoning and a bit of garlic is fantastic, I do not understand courgette spaghetti 🙈

Oh I actually quite like cauliflower rice- especially as I’m dieting , but it’s best if it can be covered with something tasty and ‘mixed in’ like curry

So why don’t people die from eating blue cheese then?

I know that is kind of gross when you think about it. How about cooked ones? I haven't tried that but I like the smoked ones from a tin.

Well yes covering up the taste with a nice curry ! Ditto cheese sauce !

I didn’t think legitimate rice was a bad food though, is it the carbs ?

They always seem slightly stale to me.
Having said that, I wouldn’t turn one down. And I love a chocolate eclair , which are basically the same but a different shape.
