    OMG I just want to barf when I get a sandwich/roll/burger and they've put in one of sandwich presses AFTER the lettuce has gone on and the lettuce cooks. It's disgusting!!!
    Lettuce should be cold and crisp at ALL TIMES people!!!

    The butter has to be all melty so the icing sticks to the popcorn and its almost like icing... DIVINE!
    Now it has never been served that way to me, it was always dry and messy. Sounds similar to the Dutch pancakes with the icing sugar, butter and lemon, that is edible.

    Astrid the lemon & icing sugar is a German thing as well. I'd never tried it until I got together with Aaron (his mum is German).

    ARGH... the thing I hate the most is when people smother what I've just cooked in salt/pepper/sauce... ESPECIALLY when I've made a gravy, and EXTRAESPECIALLY when I've already seasoned it and they don't try it beforehand, they just chuck it on! ANNOYING!!
    I also can't stand it when people put salt on steamed vegies. Yuck!
    I'm also annoyed by people who think rice, pasta, and noodles are interchangable...

    I know you are all goin to cringe when you read this, but I LOOOOVE vegemite and honey... together... on toast. YUMMY! It's really really good!

    ohhhh.... when DH was on tour with his band in America the tour guide said that all Americans pour maple syrup over all their breakfast.... LOL I grew up in America and never did it.

    Anyway...

    Bath I'm with you, anything that says its something but really isn't. like fake sugar! Mexican food in Australia as a general rule Its getting better, but really if you want a good corn tortilla its best to just make it yourself, or refried beans, or anything really...

    OK...I love Promite and Vegemite on pikelets and Vegemite on raisin toast...AND real maple syrup (Cabin brand) drizzled over my bacon with pancakes.

    BUT...the worst is over cooked pasta and gluggly sloppy rice. Oh, and watery bland meals...yuk. Overcooked veges - they're green for pete's sake, why cook them until they turn brown or white??? I just don't understand.

    Hmm crime against food

    tomato sauce on anything (except for meat pies) - we don't even have a bottle of the stuff in the house!!! I will only ever buy a small bottle when I know I'm going to be making home-made meat pies or sausage rolls (or if I cave to my craving of cherios - you can't have heated cherios without tom sauce)

    I love pancakes with bacon (preferably smoked bacon from the butcher), eggs (runny) and then REAL maple syrup (not the sweet artificial stuff - but the quite strong smoky taste of the real stuff) - that was breakfast for us yesterday (all made with organic ingredients except for the syrup which was sent from Canada by a friend)

    As much as I love tomato sauce, (sorry everyone!) DH takes it a bit far by commiting my ultimate croime against food:

    Tomato sauce on corned silverside.

    Others that make me go eeeeeew:

    -- "Risotto" made with basmati or jasmine rice
    -- fake cream in cream cakes (This would be number on if it were DH's list)
    -- using round hundreds and thousands in fairy bread instead of flat sprinkles
    -- "guacamole" that is little more than over salted, pureed avocado
    -- Ryans Family Restaurant in Warrnambool

    Same here. Don't like the colour of the flat ones, they seem a bit drab.

    I've only ever had fairy bread with round hundred and thousands...I never realised I was committing a food crime

    I have to admit to struggling a bit with finding something that bugs me enough to call it a food crime. There are plenty of combinations that I would never try myself but then each to their own!

    ewwwww.... Kellie!!!

    In Holland they have sprinkles on bread like Hagel and you can get chocolate ones or coloured and they taste a little different, but I had a Dutch housemate in Uni & now married to a dutch man I know they are well loved. So like fairy bread but yummier... and flat.

    Oh but Christy thats DIFFERENT... Hagelslag is DIFFERENT :P I mean the coloured ones, and I must point out that we do have flat sprinkle sandwiches when I'm doing a theme which is a specific colour, but I do prefer balls to flat sprinkles with multicoloured fairy bread if I can... I know anal.

    And Kellie ewwwwwwwwww *barf*
