Everyone has their opinions when it come to food. We have different upbringings, cultural influences, and just our preferences from birth, but I mean…some combinations and other such nonsense should just be off limits.
For instance, why on earth are we letting people ruin perfectly good steaks by cooking them well-done??
Ahem.
These 15 people have their own grips when it comes to crimes against food, so take a look and see whether or not you agree!
15. And it’s so easy!
Boiling most vegetables.
Steaming, roasting, grilling or even raw veggies are better than boiled vegetables.
14. Why would you do that?!
People who pick up an expensive bit of steak at the supermarket. Take it to the checkout, change their minds, shove it somewhere instead of putting it back so the $20 of meat has to be thrown away immediately.
Wasteful.
13. But also this.
While I agree, it’s the big super markets that waste the most food.
One steak going bad is nothing compared to food that gets damaged or goes bad during shipping, or food that doesn’t sell and is just thrown out.
A lot of stores actually lock their dumpsters so homeless people can’t eat the thrown out food even though it’s still safe to eat.
12. What the what?
People (mainly on cooking shows) who think adding chocolate to something is a good idea. Especially when that something is seafood.
Like an episode of Gordon Ramsay’s show during the Signature Dish Challenge, where Matt created a dish called Exotic Tartare, which contained raw venison, raw quail eggs, diver scallops, lime zest, olive oil, caviar, grated white chocolate, and capers.
That caused Ramsay to ask him if he was smoking pot. After tasting the dish, Ramsay threw up and called it one of the worst combinations he had ever tasted in 21 years of cooking.
11. Take your time.
Not sure if it would rise to the level of a crime, but adding certain powdered spices at the very end of cooking, close to when you turn the heat off.
Most spices need to be added in the beginning to allow them to bloom, get rid of the raw taste and really blend with the other ingredients – this would go for cayenne, cumin, coriander powder etc.
10. That’s horrifying.
No seasoning at all. Not even a pinch of salt.
My friend is like this. Learned the hard way when he made burgers. Then he got offended when I added ketchup and mustard to stomach it. He’s just top bread, unseasoned meat, bottom bread.
So gross.
9. Get creative.
Actually doing what the ramen noodle cup says.
I really didn’t know they weren’t supposed to be microwaved until after I left college. I’ll enjoy my toxic styrofoam how I want!
8. I never want to try that.
I was in the Marines so I got to eat a lot of interesting things. I’m sure (Most} all service members that have indulged in the delectable MRE known as ‘Vegetarian Omlet’ aka ‘Vomlet’ would agree…
This menu item is a diabolical creation worthly of an actual crime. Although the side items are decent.
7. They’re so much better that way.
When people do not warm their flour tortillas. Straight to jail!
And it’s far worse when they don’t warm their corn tortillas.
6. Who and why?
I saw someone eat pineapples with Mayo once at school and it should be considered a war crime.
Reminds me of the recent watermelon with mustard trend.
5. Definitely not for me.
More of a beverage than food, but I knew quite a couple of people that would enjoy iced coffee and lemonade together.
4. It’s unconscionable.
Using only a small part of the animal and discarding the rest. Like shark fins.
Many of the answers above it are gross, but this is actually morally wrong.
Globally this should actually be a crime.
3. Give it a rest.
Fake sickly sweet balsamic on everything. Give it a rest already and stop ruining your salads.
I worked at a restaurant that did this. Sticky sweet “balsamic glaze” on fucking everything. Why does a Caesar salad need balsamic??
I actually have nice balsamic at my house and occasionally use it and am astonished at how nice it can be.
2. No, they’re not.
My ex wife used to boil ribs. Nasty ass light ribs taste and mushy. Then got offended when I took over the rib responsibilites on an actual smoker.
Her pouty little voice “are my ribs not good enough for you”?
1. Don’t waste it.
Letting it spoil
That’s about it. Do anything you want with food that you enjoy, and doesn’t waste it.
Food is such a personal thing, but I have to agree with some of these.
