Crimes against food

[sunshine_sieben]

just had to add *peas in spaghetti bolognese sauce* I love spag bol, is my all time fave food, but one day back in childhood, my mother put peas in the sauce.

Why oh why? Not that it is revolting or anything. But it just doesn't suit and there really is no need for that!

Sasa

Tomato Sauce on sandwiches!!

Sugar on cereal. Most of it is full of sugar anyway why add more?? The exception for this rule in my house is Weet Bix, Vita Brits (which are the only 2 brands without sugar) and Porridge.

Definitely overuse of tomato sauce. I never put it on anything except meat pies.

Instant coffee - bleurk. The only exception to this rule is those Nescafe coffee sticks (you know, those ridiculously overpriced powdered cappuccino/latte things? Just add hot water? I loooooove them).

Any kind of cheese other than parmesan on spaghetti bolognaise or tomato-based pastas - DH insists on putting grated tasty all over his spag bol. It grosses me out. The smell alone takes me back to the weekend we stayed with some family friends when I was about 12, and they cooked up this awful bland, watery pasta with a bit of cheap mince and tomato sauce and then smothered my plate with cheese without asking whether I *wanted* cheese - it stunk like vomit and I couldn't eat more than a couple of bites. Then I got roused at for not being grateful for the food I'd been given... :/

White sauce. Ugh. Can't stand it! It tastes like glue and I don't know what possesses anybody to put it on their food.

Oh, and I still laugh at DH's attempt at fried rice - yup, just chucked raw grains in a frypan and wondered why they didn't come up all soft and fluffy like the stuff you get from Chinese restaurants!

I have a new one.

Getting Sliced prosciutto with tiny flecks of the plastic still left on (from the outer coating) so this means you have to pick the plastic off which takes off most of the outside fat (which is part of the flavour) oh and on top of that when I order prosciutto thinly sliced PLEASE put sheets between each layer, if I wanted a big CLUMP of prosciutto I would have asked for it.

I so agree with that. Actually, add to the list: "cold cuts (ham, salami, etc.) sliced as thick as a steak...

I must admit I put sugar on my cornflakes when I'm having my 4am night shift bowl... It helps keep me awake! I usually mix a big spoon of my Dad's home-made jam through my porridge, he doesn't put very much sugar at all into it, so it's nice and tart and very fruity!
