Crimes against food

[Lolli]

lol ok I confess I love chips in the fridge. I don't know why but they just taste better! That goes for Jatz too.
Ben- ummm i think cheese on a McChicken is a food crime in itself
You know what's really good but probably definately a food crime? Kettle chips (plain ones) that have been fridged, served with tomato sauce to dip them in. Yummm.....

[Heaven]

eww.....lol. Chips in the fridge are just weird. DH says his mum used to put them in there at home so now he likes them. Thinks they stay fresher or something. Not true!! They just taste like fridge, lol. And how long do you want to keep them for anyway?? lol.
Lori, I do agree with you on the McChicken though!

[catherinemoses]

LoriRae what did you eat when you were pg?! Sorry but that sounds too gross!!

Ditto the pickles on subway...I always ask for HEAPS!!!

I think McDonalds in itself is a food crime! Sorry

Also a food crime this creation from my husband. A Nacho 'lasagne' Mince meat with no flavouring added. Flavoured CCs. Tomato sauce Cheese and wait for it..... PEAS (to make it healthy DH informed me!) He layered it together like a lasagne was the most disgusting thing!!

Also my MILs 'spag bol' doesn't even deserve to be called spag bol! DH begged me to make it like his mum does. I call her and ask what she puts in it. Mince meat...Lots of garlic...and tomato or BBQ sauce, whichever I have more of! YUK YUK YUK!!!

[Heaven]

eww.....that is not spag bol!!!!!!!
Neither is my Aunty's...huge amounts of pasta with hardly any sauce with a few bits of chopped up steak in it, hahahahahaha. What the?? I remember going there for dinner and my little cousins saying 'What is this mum???' and the adults saying 'Shh....just eat it'. Very hard to eat, no flavour,

Aaaah! See we don't generally buy milk chocolate... my DH hates it and has converted me to dark mostly. I seem to recall Lindt's milk chocolate is pretty average. My kids love dark chocolate too thankfully... if you are going to eat the stuff the dark stuff is marginally better for you. There's a photo in my gallery of my 2yo toddler standing in the 'fridge polishing off my Lindt Chili Dark chocolate!!! Little scallywag!

Agree on that spag bol, sounds as bad as what my ex SIL made one night. Totally flavourless and surrounded by an orange oil slick. Silly me had walked in the door and said how hungry I was, so I had to eat it. There was not even any cheese to help with the flavour

Very confused the gravy on meat being seen as a crime. Nothing better than a good roast with homemade gravy. I am fussy though, on the meat only and not the veg.

[Bathsheba]

I like a good gravy too (made with pan juices and bits of caramelised chicken skin then strained) made after you roast a chicken and poured over the chicken meat... and potatoes. Gravox can be a food crime but I do admit to having it in our pantry... sometimes if we have lots of people over for a roast there isn't enough pan juices to go around so i have to add a bit of gravox to make up enough for everyone. A dash of red wine usually prevents it from being too gluggy and a real crime against food!!!

Butter or margarine on Sweet Muffins (ie: chocolate or berry. Muffin Break offer this all the time WT?)

I agree with the choc, yuk, but berry muffins a little bit warm with butter (not margerine YUK) ahhh YUMM!!

putting tomato sauce on macaroni cheese

I do this, haha, well on my mums any way, she puts tom sauce in he rmac cheese, and then when its finished, ill put more on, and mix it up, and then eat it...IMO it makes it more cheesy tasting..I love my mums mac cheese!! And its probably the ONLY time ill put tom sauce on ANYTHING.

Im the one that introduced cheese on McChicken to Ben01, i worked at maccas and did this, and omg it was SO good, done it ever since. We had a customer order cheese burgers with choc sauce on them..it wasnt just a once off too, they came thru about 4 or so times when i was working, probably more.

My parents put cheese and golden syrup on sandwiches *EEWW* WTF?
There have been a few dishes my mum has cooked that have been pretty bad, and i hate hate hate it when she will cook a nice chicken caserole, and ill come accross a gluggy bit of chicken skin...YUK...
I dislike chicken skin, (Ben01 ) i dunno, i just cant eat it, i used to like it as a kid, when mum used to cook roast chicken, and the skin on the drumstcik was nice and salty and flavoursome, i dunno what happened and why she doesnt cook like this any more.
Red Rooster Chickens, and also their fish..I just cant eat the chickens from red rooster any more, probably coz i worked there and had to stuff and salt them every freekin day, YUK, and i warn ppl, dont have red rooster fish, i was reading on the box the one day, and got the fish's scientific name, searched it up, and its a fish that comes from vietnam and is either a catfish or related to catfish that swims on the bottom of lakes/rivers/rice fields in the mud...EEWW

I LOVE FULL CREAM MILK!! In South Africa, we would get the milk fresh from the farm, it was cured, and we would get it straight out of the delivery tank, and after a few days, id sneak into the fridge with a spoon and scoop the cream from the top of the milk!! Dont get it like that here in OZ do ya??

Ok, im blabbering now, ill go, for now, till i remember some more, im sure there are plenty haha.

No wayyyyyyyy!!! Big Mac all the way.. (minus pickle of course)

Potato chips in the fridge is just weird.

I love a good chicken skin

[feeb]

Maccas yummo

[Ben01]

Feeb you are a legend mate....

Absolute legend!!!

[Sair]

The only reason I get the cheeseburger from Maccas if for the pickle. I am known to order a sundae cup of pickles from Maccas on occassion as well. They don't charge for them either

Ahh no wayyyy!! EEEWWW..i like pickle, well, i dont mind it, but omggg, isnt that a bit over powering??!

I must admit to one thing. I have had caramel sauce on a slice of pickle, while working a shift at maccas..and i must admit it was pretty yum!! Once off though!

[Sair]

Ummm yes way . All my life I have been able to sit down and eat a whole jar of dill pickles but my favorite pickles always have been the Maccas ones. They just have more bite yummy!

[Bloom]

Oooh when I saw this thread I knew I just had to post what I have experienced to be the greatest food crime: imagine a nice BBQ chook and some pasta. Okay you've got the basics for an acceptable meal.

BUT: Now add a whole jar for full-fat Praise mayonaise and 1/2 a cup of soy sauce (yes soy!) to the hot and overcooked pasta and hot shredded chicken. Mixed until it's all gluggy and gluey, over the heat so you get that mayonaise nice and hot. Serve alone. It is virtually inedible! Who eats heated mayonaise???

This was one of my mother-in-law's classic dishes. I just detest it. She means well...

Now onto what is great. Tofu noodles with coriander from a really good noodle shop. A hot chocolate after a horrible morning at work. Cheesecake...

[QueenMab]

This is a 'drink crime' from my DP;
Coke with orange juice, or cordial.... blerg!!

[ss_storm]

Spam...you know that awful "ham in a can" crap...my grandma tried to serve that to us for dinner one night when we were kids, wasn't like we were having anything fancy, she just made sandwiches..but had to say NO THANKYOU to the SPAM.. *yuck*!

My dad is really awful with sandwiches/toast- couple of his favourites- honey & vegemite, vegemite & tomato, honey & cheese...disgusting mix of things that just do not go together!

I'll admit I should be locked up...I love BBQ sauce...mum used to get so cranky with us for putting sauce on everything
