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

Food crime I witnessed today? Mum made Super Noodles (or, supermarket-brand equivalent) and chucked the flavour powder away.

Yes, she had salt-and-pepper flavoured Super Noodles.

People who don't like the bowl out after making cake
Overcooking steak
Letting the milk sink in to cornflakes/frosties so they're not nice and crunchy (always eat mean really fast, i hate the sogggy mess they turn into)

I have mates that let their cereal go minging and soggy before eating. You can hear it "squelch" whilst they eat it. Needless to say, it distresses me no end

I absolutely loathe pineapple on pizza. Now, I don't like ham very much as it is, so that's instantly putting me at a disadvantage. Despite this, I enjoy both elements on their own, or in a combination of tastes that actually suits the palate. The sickly sweetness of the pineapple just doesn't work. One of the main reasons it gets on my nerves, though, is that so many people seem to like it. Half of these people, when consulting a pizza takeaway menu with them, instantly opt for this as a topping. About the only topping I hate. I suppose this combination of flavours is the reason I don't care for sweet'n'sour, too.

My own personal "food crime", however, is the use of cream on all deserts. Sometimes, a nice bit of cream, artfully arranged alongside ice cream and a chocolate gateau (or similar), is perfection. It's not really balls of thick cream that I have the problem with, though. My issue is with pouring cream. Why must it be put on everything? What annoys me, more than anything else about the use of cream, is that I'm regarded as the strange one for not having it on my dessert. If I have a fruit salad, I want to taste the individual flavours of fruit, not a blanket taste of cream; which is a boring flavour as it is.

Quite why you needed to give me your opinion on the matter as some sort of rebuttal to my opinion is beyond me.

You were making out that anyone who liked such a combination must be deluded or something, so I was just pointing out that to the vast majority of people the combination works very well indeed, and isn't 'sickly sweet' at all.

No, I wasn't. I was pointing out it didn't work as a combination, in my opinion. Given that the entire post was written in my opinion, I didn't think I needed to state it explicitly at that point.

Yes, in your opinion the combination "works very well", but that hardly counteracts my point that I don't believe it does. The sickly sweetness was me referring to TotoMimo's post and agreeing with his analysis of pineapple in relation to something savoury.

Yeah, but it was the general tone of your post that I didn't like. It's all very well saying you don't personally like something, but there's no need to make out that anyone who doesn't share your opinion is flat-out wrong. Plus my point was that it's not just my opinion but the majority's, so there must be merit in the combo.

I'm honestly mystified by you. I agreed with the OP, TotoMimo, that pineapple and ham isn't a good topping for pizza and doesn't work. That's my personal opinion, as it was his. It is, after all, the point of the thread to point out "food crimes". By its very nature, this means pointing out - from a personal perspective - 'mistakes' others make with certain food choices.

So? The opinion of the majority does not represent fact. The majority of the world once believed the earth was flat; that doesn't make them correct.

. I didn't go "on and on about how sickly and horrible is". I mentioned that it was sickly sweet. Once. I never implied anyone else had no taste, I just agreed that pineapple and ham isn't a good combination. Quite why you've taken a flavour of pizza topping to heart to this extent, I don't know.

It's an analogy. The salient point is that people's opinions are opinions. You cannot imply fact from them, even if the majority hold this opinion to be true.

yes may be so, but ketchup and baked beans are very similar, My brother also refuses to eat any veg except from carrots. Not only that but I made a meal once, didn't tell him what was in it (chopped tomatoes) and he was saying it was very good and he had nearly finished it all before someone told him that there was tomatoes in it and then he refused to touch it saying it was disgusting.

My dad loves to turn any dessert, even ones with pastry or crumble topping designed to be deliciously crunchy, into a disgusting soup with an abhorrent volume of pouring cream. This is akin to making soupy porridge with Weetabix.
