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.

Too much salt

Oh yes you have reminded me….unsmoked bacon is vile.

Ketchup

I’m a fresh mint hater but if it helps then it applies to fake mint too. I’ve still never found any of the apparently nice fruity toothpastes local to me and really don’t want to start buying toothpaste online so I end up just gagging horribly every time I brush my teeth and tbh it’s probably contributed to some of my dental issues through my life. I also don’t see much difference between mouthwash and a mojito. Both are minty grossness.

Badly cooked, so soggy pasta and rice, overcooked chewy meat, burnt things.

A death.

Serious medical emergency.

An earthquake.

People with bad table manners and the audacity to lean over to try to steal something from my plate. The last time that my brother did that, my fork slipped and stabbed him (with force) in the hand. He hasn't done it since.

Or my own hair

No conversation

Huge back breaking open mouthed sour scented belching 😖

Suspect food hygiene

Heaps of meat and not enough veg
Same for a curry, roast, any dinner

You need to taunt him

Mint, rosemary, raw onion

Yes it is just horrible now I used to do roasts and pulled pork now i just don't bother, dh will have a pork steak occasionally but I've been put off

Pepper. Why do the people who like it feel entitled to inflict it on the rest of us? Why can't they just leave the shaker on the table and let people who want it put it on themselves? I mean, the smell of it on the table isn't great (see also: mint sauce), but I accept there's no escaping that.

Old people tutting about you not "warming the plates". I mean, I loved my granny but I'm not ready to turn into her just yet.

Ok, Grandad.

Mine would be food being too crispy and veg hard so I can’t chew it - my favourite foods
are mash potato, fish pie and risotto - so,
slop on a plate 🤣

‘Gravy’ made from granules.

Open mouthed chewing.
Children running round.

Coriander

Love coriander !

When picky eaters moan about not liking this and that. I’m quite fussy about some foods but I just make the best of it and eat what I can without announcing it to everyone.

Random, unexpected foods for example eggs in a fish pie, sweetcorn on a roast dinner, peppers in a lasagne, mushrooms in anything.

Floppy barely cooked bacon, particularly when people pull all the fat off it with their fingers 🤢

Uneven cutlery, I hate the feeling of it.

Eating any meal with BIL as he has the worst manners, eats like Homer Simpson and is greedy. When we went to a chinese restaurant he was spinning the lazy susan like it was the wheel of fortune and picking all the meat out of every dish.

This made me laugh out loud!

Serving a surfeit of lampreys.

You forgot meteorite strike.

Could seriously spoil a soufflé.
