Cooking related terms that make you squirm (title edited by MNHQ at request of OP)

[Words]

Sides. No. It is side dishes. See also mains (Shudder)

I made lamb at Easter. No, you cooked it.

Cooked to your liking. Well they woudn't deliberately cook it otherwise if they wanted to stay in business...

"Deconstructed" as in "Deconstructed cottage pie" * . No you're too lazy to put the ingredients together, so it's mince and potatoes.

*usually served in a" ground breaking, forward thinking " restaurant by a wanky hipster type with a man bun.

Nosh it. Sounds revolting

Oh and people who gobble it up

I dont know if its cooking related but i cant stand it when parents let small kids help touching all the food.
I cant stomach eating around small kids either slurping gulping sniffing eating with open mouths food falling out.

😂😂 yes, this. Or a-la Hale & Pace "large portion, please!!"

I can't explain why but I cannot BEAR the word garlicky. Also dollop.

Both make me feel icky as hell.

Are you referring to the thread the other day with the classic Cola??? 😂

Everything cooked in the oven by Americans is a 'casserole'. It's not.

I rather like dollop as a noun - it implies a decent size blob of mayonnaise without being too precise in measurement.

I don't like it as a verb - as in to dollop a large blob of mashed potato on the plate, indicating being slovenly!

Also a bit of a fan of pan-fried

Frozen chicken and dried eggs? I have cooked with both.

Slap

I.e. slap it into the pan

Oh yeah and 'good vanilla ice cream'

What, as opposed to crap??

Avoid Wales and the West Country

I have the same problem with "fabulous".

See also 'oven baked'. Because what the hell else are you going to bake it in?

If you say fold in the cheese one more time……

So funny 😂😂😂

Picky bits and nibbles irritate me beyond measure

Pop as in pop in the oven, pop in some cherries, pop under the grill. Delia - I’m looking at you.

Any of Jamie’s cheery colloquialisms

Absolutely anything & everything Gregg said, long before he fell from grace

‘Throw’ or ‘chuck’ it all in the slow cooker. It’s so naff.
You just the put the ingredients into the slow cooker, you neither throw or chuck.

And artisan. When it’s almost certainly factory made and highly processed

Artisan / artisanal. When applied to bread it means tastes stale and is solid as a rock. Pretends is it one off when actually it’s as over produced as everything else.

What’s with the “marry me”?

never heard of it then one day it seemed to come from nowhere, marry me chickpeas, marry me chicken, marry me this and marry me that….

every other ad on my social media.

i love watching Clara batten narrate the US “cooking” stuff- foil tray and massive block of velveeta at the ready…

Snap!

1. Frozen chicken
2. Frozen eggs - either raw or cooked
3. Powdered eggs
4. Liquid eggs (from a carton) - whites only, yolks only or whole eggs

The omelette in the Greggs breakfast rolls and baguettes for example, are made using liquid eggs as opposed to a freshly cracked egg.

Wasn’t it “classical” cola?
