So I have just seen an advert for it and it reminded me how much I hate it. Jelly with fruit in it. Why? Why would you ruin jelly by putting fruit (that invariably goes soggy and mushy) in it? Just why? Same goes for yoghurt with fruity bits in it. Makes me feel sick just thinking about it. 😫

What foods do you feel have been ruined worldwide or by someone that you know?

But, but, what about a cheeseboard with grapes? Brie and a nice stinky blue go very well on a salt cracker with half a grape. It's the salty meets tangy that just works.

TheCompanyOfCats · 01/09/2016 23:05

I bought some to experiment and it was just wrong on so many levels bookbook They made the cheese all wet too. Nope nope nope.

TheCompanyOfCats · 01/09/2016 23:07

Oh that's different boogers. I mean the type that has the fruit mixed into it.

Champagneformyrealfriends · 01/09/2016 23:08

Cake bars. Fucking cake bars. What's wrong with just cake?!?

Boogers · 01/09/2016 23:10

Cranberry in Wensleydale is ok but apricot in Wensleydale is a bit too sweet. Spring onion in Cheddar is nice though.

Asda toasters fit Warburtons bread

MyDressIsInferiorBlue · 01/09/2016 23:17

Ledehe I had an ASDA toaster and it didn't fit farmhouse Warburtons, at all. I got rid in favour of a tefal egg cooking toaster thingy and farmhouse just about, with a bit of force, fit in sidewards.

TheCompanyOfCats · 01/09/2016 23:22

'Egg cooking toaster thingy'.

I don't know what this is but I need one.

KickAssAngel · 01/09/2016 23:24

Does anyone remember back in the 80s when the Ninja Turtles were all the rage? Asda did Turtle pizzas based on what the characters ate. One of them was a 'sweet pizza'. So, the cheapest, nastiest, dryest base, a thin smear of cheapo fake Nutello, and then a few min marshmallows scattered on top.

I never tried it as it looked too disgusting to eat.

MoonlightandMusic · 01/09/2016 23:27

Adding orange to anything containing chocolate - particularly when it's my birthday cake and 'D'M apparently forgot my loathing for such abominations.

blueistheonlycolourwefeel · 01/09/2016 23:32

Chocolate ice cream is fucking vile.
Tinned ravioli - makes me want to be sick just looking at the tins!
Salted caramel is awesome and so is peanut butter.
Nutella can do one.

MyDressIsInferiorBlue · 01/09/2016 23:45

One the icecream front can we add "soft scoop" which actual just means water, oil and whey powder mixed is vile and an abomination.

Whereas real icecream, that is actually make with milk or cream, is yummy.

Cococrumble · 01/09/2016 23:52

That Kitkat picture needs a trigger warning tbh.

I work with someone who bites into ice cream. I'm awaiting the day they're exposed as a serial killer.

Can I add avocado on toast? Has all the taste and texture of play doh that's been rolled in grit.

ColaSpangles · 01/09/2016 23:59

Nutella has palm oil and Palm oil murders orangutans. Sorry had to mention Palm oil bastardy.

Spray cheese- just why?

Toast- I toast normal slice, then lay it on bread board, slice into two thin pieces of bread and put the toasted sides facing each other and toast again. 1 soggy slice of toast becomes two thin crunchy slices which I then slather with butter, salt and pepper. Yum

KittensWithWeapons · 02/09/2016 00:03

Arfarfanarf 'peanut butter + chocolate = 16 kinds of wrong. No. Stop it at once. And while we're at it, leave ice cream alone too. Bad peanut butter. Bad. Sit.' GrinGrin. But even peanut butter Lindor?

For me it's salted caramel. Just bugger off. Oh and these monstrosities, which I've recently discovered exist and are called Freakshakes. Stop putting food in fucking jars! And they look so... sticky. It's food for people who purchase it only to put it on instagram, rather than actually eat it.

MyDressIsInferiorBlue · 02/09/2016 00:15

At least food in jars is better than food served on manky wooden chopping boards in restaurants.

Kreeshsheesh · 02/09/2016 00:22

I love eggs. I love beans, but eggs touched by beans; renders them inedible to me!

KittensWithWeapons · 02/09/2016 00:31

That's true, MyDressIsInferiorBlue. Fucking food on manky wooden chopping boards. It's an epidemic round here too. If I'm served one more meal on a chopping board or a slate I'll be tempted to fire the bloody thing out the window!

MiscellaneousAssortment · 02/09/2016 00:46

Too dry dried fruit in biscuits or cakes. Dried cranberries? Horrible tiny hard bits of skin... Shudder.

We used to use sultanas instead of raisins especially as softer and squishier niceness. I'm not going to mention currants, the raisins evil tiny twin. Now the smaller and sourer and tougher the better. Hmm

Jelly made with milk not water. Used to be a childhood favourite. I wonder what it really tastes like? Probably curdley weirdness...

Ribena with milk. Another early childhood fav. My sister admitted she hated this but as we got it as a super special treat, she didn't realise we were also supposed to like the taste! More of a gesture type of thing in her 5 yr old mind I think Grin

What was it with my mum and fruit/ milk combos?!

Amalfimamma · 02/09/2016 00:50

Cream in Carbonara
Pineapple on Pizza
Meat in tins
Cheese on any fish pasta dish

All crimes and the guilty should be took out and Shot!

WiddlinDiddlin · 02/09/2016 01:01

I remember the ASDA turtles pizza, my Mother bought it she thought it was SO disgusting it would be hilarious.

Actually it was remarkably nice given the potential for disgusting, but I was 10 so.. it was probably just vile.

KittensWithWeapons · 02/09/2016 01:02

Oh yes, Amalfimamma, cream in carbonara. Disgusting! And so many restaurants (here in Ireland anyway) do it. I've only ever had decent carbonara in Italy, it's a world apart from the thick, claggy gloop that's served here.

VioletBam · 02/09/2016 01:15

Beans with bacon and eggs.

The beans TAINT the delicate flavour of the bacon/egg combination!

WHY!?

Amalfimamma · 02/09/2016 06:22

KittensWithWeapons

Most restaurants do it the world over unfortunately.

The thing is, it's the most simple recipe ever with 4 ingredients not counting the blooming pasta.

BeingATwatItsABingThing · 02/09/2016 06:24

DP made me cheese on toast on like our second date. He buttered both sides of the bread, grilled it and then added the cheese and grilled it again. I nearly jumped on him there and then knew he was the one for me right then!

If toast has any slight colour to it, it's burnt. It should only just be more than warm bread. Warm enough to melt the butter.

Beans go in a separate dish for me. The taint EVERYTHING!!! Gah!

Oh and to add the controversial issue of crockery vs jars/chopping boards, a pub near us serves bread in a flower pot... Hmm

My friends dragged me along to get those Freakshakes. I don't like milkshake at the best of times so please don't add all sorts of random crap to the cup in the hopes of making it better!
