To ask what one thing is that ruins a dinner?

[ChloefromSundy]

I'll go first - nothing being crispy and no texture, so slop on a plate.

😂

That’s what I was going to say.

I like a good fart and don’t mind others doing it. But dropping your guts when eating your tea does ruin it.

And when restaurants sprinkle your perfectly fine meal with herbs, usually parsley or coriander. Eugh.

Yeah this, i have just sighed loudly as I've got up to make it.

Anything that used a tin of soup as the base of a sauce, bleurgh!!! I can always taste it, ruddy horrible.
Same goes for tomato ketchup, Worcestershire or brown sauce , freaking revolting, no thanks

Chilli seeds. No extra favour added, just burning sensation and a snotty nose.

Feta or goats' cheese in every vegetarian meal.

Aggressively pissed fellow diners.

DH chomping

I didn't realise that I actually quite liked pork until my then-boyfriend cooked me dinner in our early 20s and I ate it just to be polite (I had been on pork strike since mum's cooking of it in my youth) 😂

Under cooked potatoes.

Another mint hater here. I can’t trust any lamb dishes in restaurants as even if mint isn’t mentioned on the menu, there’s a high chance it’ll be in there somewhere. I avoid cous cous and new potatoes just in case too.

The worst unexpected minted meal I had was a posh risotto in a local seafood restaurant. It was sea bass and absolutely delicious, until I tried the little bits of mango through the rice. The mango was great, the fact it had been soaked in mint was not. Even picking out the mango chunks, there were still hints of it through the rice and I could hardly touch it after that. And absolutely no mention of mint on the menu or I wouldn’t have ordered it.

A bad atmosphere

Undercooked meat or burnt meat 🤢🤢🤣

A valve / tube / artery in your beef burger.

Gravy.

Fresh mint here too, also raw chilli (love it cooked) and more unusually raw tomatoes (cooked in dishes are fine.)

however I some of the hates here are my favourites, most foods can be enhanced by coriander and pomegranate!

I did wonder what you meant 😂 I was imagining an annoying valve leaking air near your restaurant table!

A son using the spatula to scrape every last atom out of the pan so it doesn’t go to waste, while the food on his plate on the table gets cold & his brother is angrily hissing ‘why the fuck doesn’t he just sit down & eat’.

Blood! That is, meat that is (to me) underdone and pink to the point of being red. Can't either eat at it or look at it.

Too salty- there’s nothing you can do about it. 😔

Sounds like a lot of my extended family members at the Christmas dinner table 😂🤣

Grumpy people at the table.

Talking with mouth full.

Having to ask for a spoon for a curry

I mean who eats it with a knife and fork?!
