To think this should be considered a Food Crime?

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?

Raisins in savoury salads
Pineapple on pizza
Mushrooms on almost anything..raw or cooked (stroganoff is fine)
Tomato sauce on mashed potato
Cold milk on Weetabix😝has to be hot
Salted caramel. ...just NO

My mum used to make egg mayo sandwiches (technically not egg mayo, because she didn't like it - but made with salad cream instead) - I know that egg sandwiches are either love them or hate them things, but I loved them - especially with the salad cream.

And then mum decided that it was too much work, so she started mixing cold, scrambled egg with a bit of cress, and using that as a sandwich filling instead. Bleurgh!

MrsSippy · 02/09/2016 18:37

Carrots - they get everywhere the vile little orange fuckers!

And while I'm at it, tomatoes should NEVER be cooked - slimy and just nasty wrong!!

TheHuntingOfTheSarky · 02/09/2016 18:39

Salad on bread. Why would you ruin a perfectly good cheese sandwich by putting lettuce on it and making it soggy and tasting shit? Also cold food on hot plates. I like salad but fgs it's cold food so put it on a cold plate!!

TheHuntingOfTheSarky · 02/09/2016 18:40

And obviously pineapple on pizza and ketchup on anything.....and celery

LieutenantUhurusGreenEarrings · 02/09/2016 18:52

Oh, uncooked egg white on top of the yolk on a fried egg.

Pilgit · 02/09/2016 19:02

Fruit in cheese- cranberries in wensleydale- just why. Wrong

SteamTrainsRealAleandOpenFires · 02/09/2016 19:11

I also dip my buttered toast in to black tea. evil Grin

Parsley sauce is a "FOOD CRIME"... just for being Parsley sauce.

Chips cheese & gravy... another food crime. What a waste of chips & gravy.

Oh, TheHuntingOfTheSarky, I may have found my soulmate! So many people act like I'm some vegetable-dodging freak for not liking salad on sandwiches. Just give me my meat / cheese / tuna on bread, damnit! Also with you on the celery. The stringiness. My Mum usually makes stew when we're in her house for dinner. You never know when she's going to sneak some celery in. It's like stew Russian roulette!

KittensWithWeapons · 02/09/2016 19:13

Russian Stewlette?

ExitPursuedBySpartacus · 02/09/2016 19:20

Many of you are wrong.

Some are right.

purpleclaire · 02/09/2016 19:27

Tinned or vacuum packed hotdog sausages...food of the devil! What on earth is in them?...the look and the texture of them makes me feel ill, even though one has never passed my lips.

TheHuntingOfTheSarky · 02/09/2016 19:34

Ha Kittens I'm glad I'm not the only one!

Apparently some people are allergic to celery so they've had to start putting it in bold on lists of ingredients. Which just reinforces my belief that it is the Devil's vegetable.

Stalks of celery are in fact the Devil's long, veiny fingers, Hunting. The leafy bits are the Devil's claws, cunningly disguised to look all innocent and frilly. (DP refers to Brussels sprouts as being the Devil's eggs, but he's. Just. Plain. Wrong. They are lovely).

Hoppinggreen · 02/09/2016 19:54

Salad anywhere near hot food.

KittensWithWeapons · 02/09/2016 19:56

Ooh, I'd never know that Okra was called ladyfingers! en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ladyfinger_(biscuit) It seems several things are called ladyfingers so, spare. Except mine Grin. Mine are large and cumbersome. I can carry a can of coke between my little and index fingers!

KittensWithWeapons · 02/09/2016 19:58

Not index finger Grin. That'd just be holding something in my hand. Little finger and ring finger!

sparechange · 02/09/2016 20:00

Shovel hand high five kittens!

I have bigger hands than DH. He is 6" taller than me and has normal man sized hands. The irony is I have size 4 feet

Puzzledandpissedoff · 02/09/2016 20:14

Given my late mum's culinary skills (sorry, mum Blush), just the fact something was vaguely edible was a bonus, so in childhood I somehow came to appreciate Fray Bentos tinned pies and even - god help me - Vesta meals

In a deranged trip down memory lane I've recently tried both these horrors again. Suffice it to say that the pie was to food what heavy metal is to ballet dancing, and as for the Vestas ... well, they sell them in Poundstretchers now, so judge for yourself if you dare ...

KittensWithWeapons · 02/09/2016 20:15

I call mine shovel hands too, sparechange! They're quite convenient. I never need to buy shopping bags as I can carry loads. I'd high five you back, but I fear that the force of our shovel hands colliding might cause an earthquake Grin.

Coming from south Wales I should be used to half &half , half chips half rice, with chilli's, curries etc. Yuk

KittensWithWeapons · 02/09/2016 20:16

I wonder what would happen if we fist bumped Grin

roseteapot101 · 02/09/2016 20:24

do you think this is strange of me.The only way i have gotten my daughter to eat scrambled eggs is by making a kind of sandwich.I toast the bread,butter it then add marmite to one of them.I then add scrambled eggs and cut into 4

personally i think tinned hot dogs at vile mush with a metallic taste

Psychomumsucks · 02/09/2016 20:54

I smother my pizza in garlic dipping takes too long and not enough, i also love ketchup on steak or mince pies.
