I’ll start… dogs 😬 Never goes down well & I think if I owned one I’d probably grow to love it but in my eyes they just smell and dribble and are annoying. How about you?!

Roasts: when I first moved to England and was hearing people hype up roasts, I was SO excited. To the extent that I thought the first one I had was a joke. Like, why do you guys like them so much? It’s utterly boring food! (Someone will be along to tell me ‘I just haven’t had a good roast’. No, I’ve had roasts cooked by Michelin starred chefs and by people’s feted mums. I don’t like them.)

Full English breakfasts, ‘spag bol (an Italian nonna dies every time one of you makes this desecration of a ragu), pies, fish and chips. Basically all British food makes me want to barf. There’s a reason that, despite colonising much of the world, Brit food is pretty much nonexistent anywhere else. It’s just not very good.

Its funny I always think this about French and Italian food. Utter

I love baked dinners. My mother made the best using leg of lamb and mint sauce as well as gravy. I used to go to a Greek restaurant and they cooked a great baked dinner (a bit different) but very good.

Maltesers.

Not even ashamed.

Sorry posted on its own🙃. Utterly boring food. Italian food in Italy was actually inedible and that was top restaurants. French food is just tasteless. Not keen on French wines either.

Chicken Nuggets, the smelly, blob shaped ones with the weird mushy chicken in.
Not the strips of normal chicken in breadcrumbs or batter

Cockerpoos - ugly pointless dogs with all personality breed out of them.
Hobbies done in groups - walking, cycling, choirs, yoga . So needy.
Tea - herbal tastes of bad tap water and normal tea is like something 5 years old make in a mud kitchen.
Mud kitchens- used to give kids pans and dirt and say they were pretend cooking. Now it’s a “mud kitchen” with emphasis on the the equipment not the activity.

Marriage.

Righthandcider · 14/10/2022 07:55

Almost all tattoos.

People saying they "want to be the best they can be" when all they mean is they want to be physically buff / fit rather than trying to be a better person.

AND that fish face every single woman under 30 seems to pull when a camera comes out.

Will we have a whole new phrase in English, "The gender assigned to me before birth."?

Dogs
Make-up
Clothes shopping... bloody chore
'Beauty treatments', esp when framed as some kind of indulgence
Beer

New phones. I just want one that works and I'll use it until it dies
Matchy interior decor
Leather sofas - wtf?
Heels - sexist origins, terrible orthopaedically

AI holidays
Hot weather (warm = good, hot = not so, although 'hot' begins for me at about 29°C)
Sandals

"posh" chocolate.

I don't even like Thorntons. Give me the cheap shite you get in Christmas ornaments or Cadbury's and I'm a happy bunny!

Kettle chips- in fact any posh crisps. Luxury ends at Beefy McCoys
Festivals- just dirty and dull
Champagne- gives me heart burn
Beaches- who wants sand everywhere

Dogs
Drag (female impersonators, not NHRA-type car racing, I'm indifferent to that)
Gin (fine with other spirits)
Women's football (I know I am unreasonable but it grates how we're expected to love it now because there's women involved... when it was just men's football on TV it was fine to hate it)
Tennis/Sue Barker
Lidl (the shop is fine, the customers are horrible)
M&S (the shop is fine if expensive, the customers are horrible)
Reality TV

BaileySharp · 14/10/2022 09:49

Ha lots that others have already mentioned
Dogs
Drag
Coffee
Alcohol (I rarely drink at all now but I always only liked drinks that don't taste like alcohol)
Clubbing
Halloween is also really overrated but I don't hate it
