Nee-Naw-Nee-Naw! Food Crimes we Cannot Abide!

I went out and bought chicken dippers and curly fries specially for my 20th birthday meal, and cooked them all by myself

One food crime I cannot abide is when you're walking down the high street and some ned/chav has given their tiny (and I mean, 1-3 years old) tot a huge greggs pasty and a cake to scoff on. It just irks me.

I used to work in Greggs, and it was so sad to see the same mothers come in most days with their toddler and buy them a sausage roll, crisps and so on every time

ugh, man, it totally gets my goat. At a point in a kid's life when they genuinely don't know any better and their tastebuds are most impressionable (ie, most easily persuaded to try nice foods and adapt to interesting flavours), to see a kid with a steak bake in one hand and a jumbo iced doughnut in the other just makes me furious.

And you can bet that in a year or two's time the mum will be moaning "he never eats any vegetables, he's so fussy with food, he only wants chips!"

This infuriates me It's really not difficult to make kids eat veg as long as they are brought up with it! When I was a kid I wasn't allowed to leave the table until I'd eaten a decent amount of veg, and you know what, now I LOVE veg of every kind! (Except baked beans and sweet corn. There's nothing anyone can do to make me like those, lol). The same went for my brother and sister, and although they don't love veg as much as me they still eat it.

My boyfriend on the other hand was allowed to eat what he wanted, and as a consequence I'm having to wean him back onto veg at the age of 21....

perhaps they don't like to see blood (though it's not actually blood)

Today I witnessed one of the single most infuriating food crimes I think I've experienced in recent times. A female colleague from work was on about how she'd recently had her first experience with sushi and loved it. This was odd to me considering I knew she was a vegetarian, but I figured, there are plenty of veggie sushi options, so fair play.

So at lunch time today she brought in a Tesco pre-made veggie sushi tray, which isn't the *worst* possible sushi choice, but hardly gourmet. She then proceeded to peel off all of the nori!

"I hate the black stuff. And that green stuff too"(avocado, I assumed, stuffed maki roll).

That right there, is a first degree offense! Peeling nori off Sushi is like peeling clothes off a child. Wrong on every level.

I don't think it's QUITE that bad!

Yeh, maybe that was a little hyperbolic of me. But man I just love the Nori!
