    The former, the latter sounds like its worth the wait. Rather spend 2 hours anticipating a fine feast than contemplating why I didn't choose the 2 hour wait.


    GREATER EVIL:


    Anything with chocolate BANNED from being eaten with a cup of tea

    OR

    Anything breadly banned from being eaten with a cup of tea

    Re: FOOD AND DRINK: The GREATER of Two Evils!
    I'm assuming the latter means like cakes, pastries etc. So the former... The chocolate ban -that's worse. Ysee, id opt for biscuits, but with the latter I could have the option of CHOCOLATE biscuits too. Cakes can wait 'til a non teatime occasion.

    Which is a greater evil?

    BOILING THE KETTLE FOR YOUR CUPPA, SOMEONE ELSE ASKS FOR A CUP, YOU POUR THEIRS OUT AND THERE'S HALF A CUP OF DRIBBLAGE LEFT FOR YOURS

    OR

    STANDING OVER THE KETTLE FOR AGES BEFORE YOU REALISED YOU HAVEN'T CLICKED THE BUTTON/PLUGGED IT IN?

    The former is worse, because I like to make efficient water allocations so if I'm THEN asked for a cuppa I have to do the dirty work twice over

    GREATER EVIL:

    Drinking just a cup of green tea for breakfast

    OR

    Eating 2 cream crackers for lunch

    Re: FOOD AND DRINK: The GREATER of Two Evils!
    Mm, both suck. But the crackers are worse. Green tea will at least wake you up and I'm sure a lot of people do just have this. There's always lunch and dinner ahead, or brunch.

    greater evil: buying a pack of crisps and they have hardly any crisps in OR ordering at a restaurant after starving yourself all day as you plan to indulge like crazy tonight, and the portion is sadly small

    The latter, eating out should be special so stingy portions can ruin the occassion, whereas one eats crisps a lot more frequently.


    GREATER EVIL:

    Chips with a spag. bol dish

    OR

    Chips with a curry and rice

    Re: FOOD AND DRINK: The GREATER of Two Evils!
    Chips and spag bol is a greater evil to me.

    You get "Meal tins" from my local Chinese, they contain chicken curry, rice and chips all together in a long tin tray, or the same thing with black bean chicken. So despite not being normal per se, its more pedestrian to me!!

    Which is the greater evil:

    Solely Vitameals (Tomato salad, for example, no carbs or protein)

    Or

    Solely Carbfest (pasta and chips, for example. No protein or vitamin-based food)

    Re: FOOD AND DRINK: The GREATER of Two Evils!
    I hate the idea of either. I like to balance my meals.
    But I'd say the worst would be carbfest because it feels like it'd be so DRY
    and I already feel full just imagining a plate of it, full and bloated.

    which is worse: overcooked seafood or undercooked burgers

    Re: FOOD AND DRINK: The GREATER of Two Evils!
    Got to be the overcooked seafood! I like my beefburgers pink in the middle anyway, and often eat my beef rare or blue so it wouldn't be an evil for me! But seafood...blergh, it needs to be cooked just right otherwise it's horrible.

    Greater evil of:

    Over ripe apples so they're all mushy.

    or

    Under ripe bananas so they're still slightly green.

    Re: FOOD AND DRINK: The GREATER of Two Evils!
    Apple and pork is a most bizarre combo, the former would never appeal to me as a kid (veg overload) but it does contain cheese so the latter is the greatest evil.

    GREATER EVIL:

    Poor crust on a pizza

    OR

    Poor cheese on a pizza

    Poor cheese is worse because it's a larger part of the experience. If its a bad crust I'll cut it off. But what's pizza without cheese?

    Which is worse: your brother or sister eating food you've bought with your own money Or. Your mum forgetting to buy u all the things u wrote on the shopping list?

    The latter is a greater evil because the former could be for a number of reasons... Ignorance, spite... Even just outright hunger. But the latter, your mum was just plain negligent. ALL THE STUFF I WROTE?! Not just the biscuits, but EVERYTHING?! COME ON, MUM. BETTA SHAPE UP.


    WHICH IS THE GREATER EVIL:

    WHEN ORDERING "SOUP AND SANDWICH";

    TERRIBLE SOUP, GOOD SANDWICH

    OR

    TERRIBLE SANDWICH, GOOD SOUP?

    Terrible soup and good sandwich is worse. If we are talking about a takeaway outlet where you get a paper cup of soup and a butty, I always dip the butty into the soup so if it is stale bread or boring filling then I wouldn't notice it that much. On the other hand, if the soup wasn't up to much, I would probably just chuck it which would be a waste.

    GREATER EVIL: Bacon/Sausage butty with no red/brown sauce or roast dinner without gravy?

    Re: FOOD AND DRINK: The GREATER of Two Evils!
    The latter is a greater evil. With a sausage sandwich, it allows you to appreciate the already flavourful, juicy meat. But in a roast, you have boilies and some blander veg that NEED some... "encouraging" to be tasty.

    Which is a greater evil:

    SOFTENED EXPIRED BISCUITS

    OR

    HARDENED EXPIRED CAKE

    The latter because it renders them unedible plus it's a more frequent scenario.


    GREATER EVIL:

    The sausages in heinz tinned beans with sausages

    OR

    The meat in a pot noodles

    The meat in pot noodles, yuck (and i'm not a fan of pot noodles anyway)

    Greater evil:

    When a sandwich has been made with too much butter, so there are chunks stuck to the bread

    OR

    When a sandwich has no butter, just bread

    The former, I tend to find too much of an ingreidient less preferable to none at all.


    GREATER EVIL:

    Drinking a hot drink from a plastic cup that has partly split at the top

    OR

    Eating a kebab from the box but there's too much food relative to the box

    Re: FOOD AND DRINK: The GREATER of Two Evils!
    The Hot Drink scenario, because it has the potential to burn your tongue and that is NEVER fun, let's face it. You're left tastebud-less for days and you can't appreciate anything. At least with the kebab you can still eat it, especially if there's somewhere to sit down nearby!

    Evils:

    Opening an Easter egg to find its already been all cracked up

    Or


    Opening an advent calender window to find the chocolate missing

    Oh man, the SADVENT CALENDAR is so much worse... The chocolate has probably popped out loose and is circulating the cardboard shell somewhere. Do you call it a loss? Ripthe thing apart to retrieve? Either way, ADVENT IS RUINED. Broken Easter eggs are fine, nobody eats them whole like an apple, do they?


    GREATER EVIL?

    TRYING TO EAT YOUR FAVOURITE DISH WHEN YOU HAVE THE FLU, AND IT TASTES LIKE NOTHING

    OR

    REFUSING YOUR FAVOURITE DISH BECAUSE YOU HAVE THE FLU, KNOWING IT'LL TASTE LIKE NOTHING.

    Trying, definitely trying. You KNOW it should be tasting good, and that's what hurts the most. At leat of you refuse it, you can be like, when I'm well can you make it again, or just freeze it and save it to look forward to.

    Evils:

    Being hungry but knowing you're going out in an hour so not wanting to eat

    Or

    Being full up and someone announcing your going out for a meal
