Mine is amongst others that carbonara should only ever be made with long pasta, none of your penne, or fusili nonsense.

Sweetcorn in any form is cattle fodder and is unfit for human consumption.

Toilet lids must be closed before flushing.

Agree! 💯

Rice pudding yes but custard no😬

Custard yes rice pudding no. Aren’t humans interesting?!

Seriously? It's the beige cardigan of curries. It’s what happens when someone looks at a menu full of bold, fragrant, fire-breathing masterpieces and thinks, “No thank you, I’d prefer my dinner to taste like warm seasoned yogurt.” It’s a curry that needs to apologise for even occupying the same menu page as proper curries. No heat, no edge, no personality, just a timid, creamy squeaky whisper of “I was almost interesting once.”
Korma is what you order when you’re afraid of flavor. It takes chicken, already the most commitment phobic of proteins and drowns it in a sweet, nutty lullaby that lulls your taste buds into early retirement. Every spoonful feels like culinary bubble wrap, safe, padded, and utterly pointless. In a world of jalfrazis, baltis, rogan josh's, madras, bhuna or vindaloos that challenge you korma sits there like a participation trophy in a bowl. Gaaaaaaaaaaaahh.

Brilliant! It’s like a reverse Marks and Spencer advert.

French manicures on toes are an abomination, makes you look like you are stood on a tiny person with just their fingers sticking out

It is not possible to have a manicure on your toes.

No, eating it with a tiny fork improves the flavour!

I eat Tesco bacon flavour corn snacks with chopsticks for the same reason. Its so satisfying.

I've got a relative who won't eat either of them. He's obviously a weirdo 😂

Instant powder gravy is disgusting. I will cook bones, marrow , oxtail to get what I need for my gravy . I will say M&S ultimate gravy is pretty amazing but I don't live in the UK so can't access it. But I won't concede...it's bones or nothing 😂

Especially when beef bisto is applied like varnish to chicken. Just why?

Also that sliders and socks look good on precisely no-one. Oh and crocs are fucking horrible too

But Uggs are as bad!! Ugly.

I like to eat cold baked beans out of the tin. We make a delightful couple - him with his cold custard & rice pudding, me with my cold baked beans.

God yes, hated uggs when they came out and still find them ugly as fuck

Mine is that I don’t choose my footwear based on what is attractive to other people.

I’m 57, a bit overweight and I look bloody marvellous in dungarees! I have loads. I’m wearing a very chunky denim pair at this precise moment!

WLIs are fantastic. Does the poster from “the clinic” slamming them not realise that obesity is a huge (no pun intended) health risk, contributing to and/or exacerbating lots of serious conditions?

I think everyone knows obesity is a health risk but that doesn’t mean to say the jabs are risk-free.

Cold baked beans are wonderful. You and mr cardigans are a well matched couple 😊

Agreed. And if you walk behind someone wearing them you'll see that they, almost all, roll their ankles inwards as they plod along.

No, the real ones too. It's a phenomenon known as UGG boot syndrome.

You can always tell by the way the soles are worn down on the sides of the heel. I'm surprised they're still a thing tbh. They're like the boot equivalent of crocs. Ugly and ridiculous looking 😂

DontTellMeToTakeInIroning · 19/02/2026 21:58

Well I can honestly say none of mine have ever been like that

When I eat out I want my food served on a plate. Not a fucking chopping board.

100% agree!!!

I went out to dinner once, and my steak was served on a board with a jug of peppercorn sauce (which would have run everywhere).
As the server placed it down in front of me, she asked, "Can I get you anything else?" I asked for a plate........her face was a picture! She took it away and brought it back on a plate!

Missohnoyoubetterdont · 19/02/2026 21:59

SORRY. STOP THE THREAD ✋ Right here. Cauliflower cheese, and Yorkshires and gravy are fucking perfect all on the same plate, ESPECIALLY for Christmas dinner. Turkey is crap and roast beef is a much better idea, so this is exactly why it works.

It's chocolate cake with red food colouring I believe.

Ohhhh, it's so much more!
