Annoying food-related behaviour. Aibu?

[Fuckyoumenopause]

I'm a member of a food/cooking facebook group and for the third time this week I've seen someone post a picture of their lunch/dinner with a ball of mash served up using an ice cream scoop. I don't know why I hate this so much ( and yes I know there are far worse things to get worked up about in these current times) but it sets my teeth on edge.

Anyone else have an irrational food related dislike?

I hate this, too! It reminds me of school dinners.

rare meat on a plate looks like resus would revive it - yuk !

I can’t eat mash in a scoop, just can’t do it. I like mash, you could serve me the most delicious mash ever but if it’s in a scoop I couldn’t eat it.

Anything like cutlets/chops where the fat hasn’t been cooked so it’s all flabby/chewy

When people post pictures of a depressing looking dry roast dinner with a 'best meal of the week!' type comment.

My DM used to do this but then I was around 7 years old.

I'd hate mash in a scoop to

I also hate when people boast about roast dinners that have frozen yorkshire puddings. I dont get it they're so easy to make!
I also don't like when people try to make massive crispy yorkshire, they're better with a bit of storage! Sorry, I'm picky about yorkshires!

My irrational food dislike are eggs. I love eating eggs but photos of the fuckers leaves me cold. My DP watches chef shows and I'm not actively watching but when the word egg is mentioned I look up and it makes me feel sick. Poached eggs with the yolk pouring out of them, Nigella cracking an egg into a curry, dirty cow, photos of Scotch eggs cut in half. I do have an eye phobia so to me they look like eyeballs.

@troysmammy I guess you aren't too keen on lychees then.

Mash in scoops reminds me of school dinners.

Meals that are drowned in dark brown gravy - I occasionally like a bit of gravy, but if everything else is swimming in Bisto, surely it will all just taste of Bisto.

Love mashed potato in a scoop! Sits so perfectly on a plate

Good God OP, you have reminded me of the horror that was ‘mashed potato’ at primary school - ice-cream scoops of tepid Smash. I have trouble eating mash that’s not dangerously hot even today.

YANBU!

I occasionally like a bit of gravy, but if everything else is swimming in Bisto, surely it will all just taste of Bisto

Bisto is not gravy, it’s an abomination

I hate when people wipe up juice with bread, like bean juice or gravy - yuck!

Meat so rare that a quick jolt from a defibrillator would restore life to the animal.

Lumpy or grainy mash makes me feel ill. It has to be perfectly smooth - and I mean absolutely perfectly smooth. I am very fussy about mash though, so I prefer shop bought to home-made for this reason.

It used to be undercooked eggs - where the white is still uncooked and they look 'snotty'. However I don't eat them anymore (vegan) so it's not an issue now.

People who put ridiculous amounts of hot sauce or chilli into food. I like a bit of a kick and some heat, but I don't want my food to be so spicy that it requires refrigerated loo roll for the aftermath.

Fish, especially if they still have their head and eyes. It is like they are looking at you with their beady little eyes. Sardines in tomato sauce are the worst, they look like they have been drowned in their own blood.

May i join in, went to a posh pub restaurant for husbands birthday, BC.
WE all had different mains, my roast pork came with a Yorkshire pudding. FFS, left it untouched on the plate to make a point

The mash at my school was moulded in the little glasses we had for drinking water. You could see the grooves going round the lump of mash. Revolting.

Oh God, School dinner mash! Disgusting

Thesuzie- that is really cutting off your nose to spite your face. If I ordered sea bass and it came with an unexpected Yorkshire pudding, I would be puzzled but delighted!

Not cutting sandwiches into little cute triangles!

I like undercooked eggs, but I would not inflict photographs of them on others - I know I am a weirdo.

Just reminds me of being a child and School Dinners ,Could not eat it all so we would go and show the dinner lady what we had eaten .She got me to eat more and I was ill! Remember sorting out milk bottles until DM came to collect me!

Goodness what a strange thing to dislike!

I was probably quite old before I realized you could serve it any other way. My mum always served our mash like that and it was lovely. Never did like "fake" potato though, it has to be the real thing.

The only thing I am a bit funny about is drinking soup out of a cup - it has to be eaten from a bowl using a spoon. I can just about cope these days if it is something smooth like tomato - but nothing with lumps in please!

I love garlic mash scooped into balls and baked in the oven.

Onion and herb mash balls are also nice baked.
