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?

A sandwich with tomato in it making the bread soggy 😷 And ketchup on anything makes me want to throw up! Tomato sauce should be banned!!

Marmite is absolutely horrible, just no! I also hate celery, but like celeriac.

Hummus on pizza or warm hummus- no way.

I do like fruit and sweet stuff combined with meats so I'm afraid I'd eat and enjoy a lot of the things on here.

sparechange, I love it. Though I'm rather lazy. My particles haven't been accelerated in quite some time. Lets do it! Can we both be Queen? This is us, gently cuddling one of our subjects Grin

So I told you all about the flowerpot bread... We went there for dinner tonight so I took a picture just to show you.

Does this not help with the toaster issue?

The bread looks gorgeous, BeingATwat. The plantpot however, is making me irrationality ragey. And even worse, looks like they're skimping on the butter.

BeingATwatItsABingThing · 02/09/2016 22:54

Kittens, the bread is ridiculously tastey (and I'm not a huge fan of brown bread) so I forgive the plant pot. The salted, delicious butter came on a separate plate so it was all fine.

My brother has salt on toast!!! Confused

Celeriac is very wrong CheshireChat. My mum still tries to sneak it into mashed potato sometimes thinking i won't notice. Raw celery is nice. Cooked celery is only really acceptable if veey soft and the taste has been mostly blotted out by stew/bolognaise etc (or if my BF cooks it because I'm mostly just grateful that he feeds us both since I'm ill and struggle to cook)

I eat baked beans and spaghetti hoops straight from a tin with a spoon though. Sometimes refridgerate them first...

BeingATwatItsABingThing · 03/09/2016 06:57

I hate celery. And spring onion. Bleurgh!

My exH used to put ketchup on steak. I'd buy a big, delicious, expensive steak (we're talking organic dry aged, thick cut, 28-day hung butcher steaks not vac-packed from the supermarket), cook it to perfection, rest it and serve with home made chips....and he'd put FUCKING KETCHUP all over it.

And that, friends, is why he's my ex.

I once ordered a curry, it said it had fruit in. Now, I clearly had a bit of a moment as I don't liked cooked fruit, especially in savoury dishes.

I thought maybe it would be sultanas, which in retrospect would still have been a bit odd, but I know Persian cuisine uses sultanas and that's not too bad.

It was banana. They are dreadful raw but cooked....the texture is er, jiz-like.

I am still haunted by this event 20 years later.

Cooked fruit is generally wrong. I might just force down a French apple or pear tart though, as i'm very sophisticated.

My God what a lot of fusspots! Eat what you're given and be grateful.

BeingATwatItsABingThing · 03/09/2016 18:07

I eat what I'm given as long as it is presented on proper crockery and it meets my exact standards.

Brussels sprouts yuk. I was in hospital on Christmas Day once very seriously ill and about to be put into an induced coma. They served dinner and filled half the plate with Brussels sprouts. I made them take them away if this was to be my last meal I wasn't even looking at sprouts.

nicolachristine · 03/09/2016 19:40

Yellow yoghurt. Or Jam. Not sure why, I like the yellow, green and other coloured fruits just fine but none of them should be in yoghurt or jam.

idrinkandiknowthings · 03/09/2016 20:09

Pretzels. Shock

I love cheesy chips and gravy, but draw the line at cheesy chips and curry sauce.....
Hubby loves blue stinky cheese with marmalade......I can't eat either even separately blurgh.
My youngest dd loves tinned macaroni but not Heinz as that's too cheesy?...
I'm currently nearly 39 weeks pregnant and eat fresh tomatoes all the time, hot or cold, but when I'm not pregnant I can't bare them at all!

Funkimama77 · 04/09/2016 03:46

Why does it matter eat food the way you like it, it's a personal thing, no one.is.right, no one is.wrong!!

RunningLulu · 04/09/2016 03:53

Cheese sauce is disgusting.

DrCoconut · 04/09/2016 04:59

Dried fruit contaminating everything. Who on earth puts sultanas in carrot cake? Or chip shop curry? Or toffee pudding? . Work of the devil. The taste gets in and even if you pick the droppings of Beelzebub out, the rest of your otherwise perfectly good food is ruined.

BeingATwatItsABingThing · 04/09/2016 09:19

Don't you just love it when people sense the light hearted tone of a thread and feel the need to bring it down. Makes MN such a happy place!

No, none of this stuff really matters. I thought it would be a fun topic to talk about. 99.9% of the comments have been funny and joining in. 0.1% haven't.

DrCoconut, the worst one is dried fruit mascarading as chocolate in biscuits. This is why I have trust issues!
