Has there ever been a food pedanrty thread in here before?

[StNiChaolas]

Inspired by Morrison's claim that vegetarians should spice up their Christmas dinner with a Naice 3 Fish Roast from their Fishminger.

Tomatoes and cucumber arre fruit.

Roobarb is a dog.

Okra is bleurgh.

You must eat a doughnut without lickling your lips.

Aspargus and cutlery are not friends.

Marathons were far superior to Snickers.

Broad beans should be boiled for the briefest possible period, then taken out of their inner pods before serving. Preferably on a salad, or, if you like, mashed lightly with olive oil and lemon juice.

They definitely don't appreciate being boiled to distraction until grey.

Three bits of wet lettuce and a slab of tasteless tomato is not 'a salad'.
A packet of Doritos with ketchup blobbed all over it is not 'nachos'.
Both of these things together are not 'an authentic Mexican feast'.

well natch ref the yoghurt, and in fact the best uses for yoghurt are in savoury foods. And honey in yoghurt is fine too.

Tinned macaroni cheese is horrid but pot noodles are good 'not very well' food

Oh, ShoHo - I was liking the cut of your jib until this filth:
Jelly chopped up with evaporated milk is fine on occasion though.

I agree that bacon has to be smoked BIWI. I have just eaten some non-smoked because it was all I could get, and it was a disappointment.

YY to low fat things, especially cheese. Things that are low in fat naturally are ok obviously, it's the low fat substitute abominations I deplore. I get positively furious when I see a recipe and it specifies using low fat cheese or yoghurt or butter substitute for no good reason. I'll be the judge of how much fat goes into my dinner thank you very much.

Doritos and ketchup?

Cranberry sauce is an American solecism. Turkey is not particularly rich and does not need to be served with jam.

Completely agree with all above objections to margarine, "paninis" "brooshetta" etc.

Tinned macaroni cheese is horrid but pot noodles are good 'not very well' food

So true.

Other good 'not very well' food is Heinz tomato soup with a cheese sandwich.

Sorry but bacon is much better unsmoked. YABU.

Other good 'not very well' food is Heinz tomato soup

should be available on the NHS really.

There is good and bad smoked and unsmoked bacon; the main rules are that it must be from a good, outdoor reared pig and must be dry-cured.

Separate knives should be adhered to on a cheeseboard for the (disgusting) blue cheese and all the nice non-blue cheeses.

Grimma is exactly right re bacon.

not bothered about the cheese sandwich unless it's toasted tbh, but agree with heinz tomato soup. DH would have it with chips, but he is from the north so...........

I agree with Heinz tomato soup as good not very well food .
An excellent drink for convalescing or hangovers is hot ribena .

bacon should not release so much water that you have to drain the frying pan. Even Waitrose are guilty of this

ooooh hot ribena, or Bovril

I prefer unsmoked to smoked bacon. Although I love smoky bacon crisps.

Heinz oxtail soup with a cheese sandwich is even better than tomato.

Unsmoked bacon for breakfast. Smoked bacon in most recipes.

Gherkins are allowed if in tartare sauce and are compulsory when seving pastrami.

Bacon should be dry cured and smoked.

Anything "low fat" is pointless, it the fat that makes it taste of something.

Agree with Vlad about broad beans, a so called "chef" once argued with me about this, saying it made no difference!

Rich Tea do not count as a nice biscuit.

Whatever happened to bacon with rind on?

I used to like chewing on a bit of bacon rind fried crisp.

Chorizo does not go with pesto just because they are both vaguely Mediterranean DH I'M LOOKING AT YOU

If you can pronounce espresso and bruschetta correctly, you can also pronounce chorizo correctly. "Choritso" is giving something Spanish an Italian pronunciation ffs.

Delia needs to go on a pronounciation course for most forrin ingredients
