Food Stuff You Hate

[Caley_Red]

Fried, scrambled or poached eggs; cheese that is not tasteless like Mozzarella or used as a seasoning like Parmesan; and, tinned tuna (utterly vile stuff).

[Gumboot]

I like most egg dishes except balut.

With you there Gumboots, but with my bacon I like my eggs poached.
I not very keen on celery, much to missus delight as she tries to hide it in salads!

The deli section of a local supermarket has a delicious looking egg salad on display, but upon closer inspection there are the tiny tell-tale corrugations of celery hidden in the mix. Why are some people so evil?

What is bread sauce?

[average joe]

Sushi.

I like most cuisines, but sushi is just bland and horrible and cold. And if it does have flavour, it's often too much vinegary

You had sushi at Ocean basket, didn't you?

Proper sushi is amazing.





Weird, and I know it's just me but I love peanuts and hate peanut butter. I also love fruit, but hate jam.

I don't hate sushi but I just don't get all the hype. A lot of people here make a big hooha about it and I just don't get it. I mean I get the snobbish part, if you don't eat sushi your not "in" and probably a dom armgat boer from the Freestate but I mean it's fokon rice with raw fish and some avo on, wrapped in seaweed. Really people? I have to shovel a boat load of the stuff down my throat to feel full and only end up getting heartburn from all the soy sauce and wasabi.

I used to feel that way, but it really depends on where you get it.
It's like comparing a minute steak warmed in a microwave to a rib-eye that was braaied properly.
Or a McDonalds Big Mac vs a proper burger.

I don't like sushi for the sake of liking something "exotic" by South African standards.
Properly prepared it really is amazing; but that is very scarce in South Africa where the local sushi joint employs and trains their staff to make a roll in the same way McDonalds trains their staff to make a burger.
Bad rice, cheap soy sauce, skimpy on ingredients, ingredients not fresh, layers all wrong etc...you really start off from a low base and then the only appealing thing (to some people) is the snobbish "ceremonial" aspect of eating it; so I get where you are coming from.

Potatoes, Pasta and other peasant fillers

I don't know, a meal of just peasant plays havoc with my digestion and always leaves me wanting more.

What is bread sauce?

A sauce made out of bread

A survivor of the medieval bread-thickened sauces, the traditional British bread sauce is made with milk, butter or cream, and bread crumbs, flavoured with onion, salt, cloves, mace, pepper, and bay leaf, with the fat from roasting often added as well. It typically accompanies domestic fowl such as turkey or chicken

Never tried balut and don't have any desire to, but I do like century eggs, goes well with rice dishes

Pears.
Spinach.

[Carter's Choice]

Papaya
Eggplant (except the nice preserved stuff you get in Deli's)

[Chilli]

Both processed versions are packed with sugar.

By law in the UK Jam HAS to be packed with sugar. If it's not at least 60% sugar, it's not jam

I know a slim young girl who got pregnant and got a craving for jam. She was ordered at around 6 months by her doctor to go on a diet because she had gained a huge amount of excess weight!

"But all I eat is jam which is healthy because it's fruit, right?"

How is your daughter doing?

If I have one, I don't know about it.

Ahhh...didn’t know about that. Seems a Sards thing to do though, so not all that surprised

The reason they have a go at me is because no matter what they have to say I don't get bothered...I am an empath. Have lots of love for all...get in for a group hug lads..

It is why she opened the restaurant. To avoid subjecting the poor children to his "cooking".

Olives - awful horrible things

Before going vegan I would have said corned beef, black pudding, sardines, oysters and mussels. Even now the smell of corned beef makes my skin crawl.

Really dark chocolate

Oysters and mussels are apparently ok for vegans, on the grounds that they have no brains and are therefore more or less vegetables. (really)

So you can still hate them.

We have an olive tree and process them

lovely stuff.

Not going vegan ever ... Corned beef is not meat though ;)

[Openside]

I’ll defend the eating of Brussel Sprouts to the end of my days.

Food that does nothing for me: aubergine, broccoli, green beans, courgettes, and marrow.

courgettes and marrow (in soup) are OK. -The rest delicious. I bet you were a fussy eater as a child!!

As much as I look down on Vegans, I wouldn't accuse them of having no brains...

[Yr Alban]

Any offal, sweetbreads etc. The smell of my wife making stock makes me gag and leave the house.

In saying that, just been given a massive black pudding (massive) which I don’t mind but not greatly keen on. Any recipes to make it nice?

If you’re not a big fan of black pudding then I recommend using it to stuff things. We brought back some of the Stornoway variety in the summer and my wife made a pork loin stuffed with black pudding and apple. Tasted amazing. It freezes well too, so you can just take some out as and when.

I will eat most things now. Used to think I disliked sprouts but I love them if they are cooked lightly (ideally fried with bacon and garlic). I’m not a big fan of kale, but I do eat it without complaint. Celery is fine cooked in things, but I don’t like the flavour raw. My main dislikes are (weirdly) eggs and butter. I’m fine with eggs as a part of a recipe, but I really don’t like them in any recognisable form. Likewise, butter I am happy with as an ingredient, and I’ll eat garlic bread, but actually spreading it on things gives me the boak, as does fish (for example) essentially served in a puddle of it. I think I was mildly allergic to eggs as a kid, and I still feel a bit ill if I have too much dairy product, so maybe that’s why (my younger son was allergic to both eggs and dairy, though fortunately has since grown out of both).

Mushrooms. Fùcking horrible things. Genetically closer to athletes foot than they are to either meat or vegetables

What is bread sauce?

A sauce made out of bread

A survivor of the medieval bread-thickened sauces, the traditional British bread sauce is made with milk, butter or cream, and bread crumbs, flavoured with onion, salt, cloves, mace, pepper, and bay leaf, with the fat from roasting often added as well. It typically accompanies domestic fowl such as turkey or chicken

You’re not really selling it there. The sound of bread sauce is not appealing.

I’d not tried it for a decade from coming to the UK on the back of what it’s called. It sounds like some Irish famine thing.

However I concur, it really is good. It’s really very moreish, the subtle other ingredients are what makes it. Butter onion bay leaf and clove. It goes brilliantly with roast chicken/turkey and gravy.

Not a fan of stroganoff ??

Or a mixed omelette with pepper, onion, mushroom and a bit of cheese on top.

Mushrooms are a no go area. Manky things that aren’t part of the animal or plant kingdoms.

Exactly. Well made bread sauce is one of the most beautiful things in the world to eat. The bread and dairy is just a carrier for a subtle mix of flavours that accompany virtually any bird extremely well - I'd argue that it goes particularly well with Game birds, if made a touch stronger
