to think some food tastes better overcooked?

[Thisnamechanger]

broccoli (esp if covered in butter)
long grain rice
spaghetti (ditto butter)

AIBU?

Lamb chops- like the pp said about steak. I cannot abide any pink bits in lamb chops either. I very rarely eat them when out as they don’t cook them how I like them!

I used to do streaky bacon under the grill for sandwich, but well done rather than burnt bits, yummy. The only PP I disagree with is the burnt cake, but no offence to you. Please don't anyone put a hot cross bun in the toaster. I did (halved of course) and a piece of fruit stuck to the element, and blew it. £35/40 and ruined, just get cheapest now! 😬

Over cooked rice, spaghetti and broccoli?

Would rather eat nothing, thanks.

YABU - food tasted better when cooked correctly - it's just that the majority of people UNDERCOOK certain foods

Baked beans! You know when you get them from the chip shop or a cafe and they’ve been bubbling away all day and they’re kind of mushy? They’re delicious!

Yanbu but soggy veggies are 🤢

Pink pork turns my tummy, I'm always a bite eugh when I see them salivating over it on masterchef.

But soggy veg,,,oh yes, with loads of butter. Yum.

Anything with cheese on it!
I cook my lasagnes until the cheese has gone that lovely partially crispy, golden/orangey colour and it is lush!

StarlaP you are so right! I love beans that have been cooked like that.

Pasta bake/macaroni cheese.
Bacon
Cheese & ham toasties
Sausages
Brussels sprouts - my dad used to cook them sometimes on the weekends if my mum was working. They were amazing, and very overcooked.

Lord above you lot are making me ravenous. Iv just had a tooth out and can't eat for a while.

I like well done crumpets. It takes ages to get the black.
And baked beans boiled up until they are all mushy

Welsh cakes that are a bit burnt are the food of the gods!

Pork absolutely has to be crispy on the outside and properly done in the middle. Likewise sausages and burgers. I always understood that they're a health hazard underdone. I'm on the fence with vegetables. Interestingly, carrots and cruciferous veg (cabbage, cauli, broccoli) release different vitamins at different stages of the cooking process. So lightly boiled/steamed veg have more vitamin C and softer veg have more of the carotenoids and chlorophylls available for absorption. I love raw carrots and broccoli stems, but they taste just as good cooked.

Fish fingers!!!

And fries/chips. Nothing worse than a pale chip.

Fish fingers, good call I hate sweaty fish fingers.

Another vote for baked beans! The sauce goes kinda thick - much nicer!

I like the very brown crunchy bits on mash potato on the top of a cottage or fish pie.

I will leave the pie in for extra time just to get the brown bits...and then I scrape round the pie dish ...all for me

Cabbage as well (also butter). I'm noticing a pattern with my veggies to butter ratio!

Oh yes and the burnt bits at the bottom of the roasting dish when you've roasted a chicken,,,

Crumpets have to well done - almost burnt. Yum 😋

Crumpets have to be burnt

Home made rice pudding 'skin'.

Carrots should be overcooked, can't stand them crunchy. And the burnt crispy bits on top of a cheesy pasta bake. And fried onions.

My Iranian friend loves burnt rice that is the crispy rice at the bottom of the pot. Apparently it's a big thing in Iran.

Stir fry noodles that get stuck to the pan mmmm
