Post your most controversial food/drink opinions

Melted butter on toast is rank. Toast should be left to go cold before buttering it.

For a second I thought I had actually written this post.

If toast isn't meant to be cold before being buttered what's this:


?

If toast was meant to be warm you'd think there would be a common piece of kitchenware for keeping it warm but no, cooling racks. You're all wrong (except for moomoo of course).

Can live without the first and will actively avoid the rest TBH. Jelly has already been mentioned but jellatinus food stuffs in general are knawsiating horrors. Not really controversial though I spose.

One of the finest aspects of Chinese cuisine is that texture is valued as much as flavour. There are many dishes with gelatinous or even slimy consistency that take a bit of getting used to for western palates but are totally worth persevering with.

Six headless people and their executioner.

 

[harpo]

That's daft. You'd just drink twice as many halves and spend more money. Best not have more than four or five though

To rephrase, a responsible landlord did tell me to only drink it in halves, but did I listen? No, I did not.

My toaster has a thing that helps keep toast warm, and it has a reheat option.

A decent chilli is better than pretty much all pasta. In fact the best pasta is lasagne with chips.

Case in point the sticky stewed aubergine at My Old Place in Liverpool St. If you're ever there order it.

I think My Old Place is a Nandos now.

Rebelda ?

I think was yeah. Be glad if I'm wrong.

Maybe it's moved? Is on Middlesex St, Spitalfields now. I think this is the one I've been to. Not sure. Service is as spectacularly rude as the food is spectacularly tasty.

My Old Place - London

Vitalite is just as good as butter.

 

[Rosemary Jest]

Marmite is just 'ok'.

I mean, I'll eat it and enjoy it, but never crave the stuff, or 'love' it.

Marketing man's dream, me.

hobnobs are rubbish

They didn't used to be, when they were full of fat and all those things that are supposedly bad for us. See crisps, and most other junk food that's been watered down to be healthier.

Tbf 90% of their customers are spectacularly rude too. I wouldnt want to wait tables in there.

This is true as most spreads taste the same when they've melted into the bread.

I guess it balances out when everyone is spectacularly rude. I don't mind it too much. tbh the service I most hate is the overly grovelling kind. It makes me suspect they're probably gobbing in the soup. No danger of grovelling in MOP.

 

[maomao]

Which reminds me:

All soup is rubbish. Either eat something or drink something. Make your fucking mind up.

I'm pretty sure it's the one that used to be in Bethnal Green where me and Orang Utan gorged on pigs ringpieces.

That sounds more like the Chinese barbecue halfway up Bethnal Green Road. Haven't been there in over a decade though. The Old Place was right on petticoat lane market for a very long time.

It was called Gourmet San on Bethnal Green Rd,.

That's the one. Shop sized but with a small room upstairs. Very plain decor and a wide range of seafood and offal.

Didn't we also have a cold pig's ear, Spymaster?

You don't like raman, pho?

Lemon grass.

Didn't we almost have pig’s ear
When love was all we had worth giving?
The ride with you was worth the fear my friend
Loving you makes life worth living

Lemon grass.

Ach. You were doing so well with the ramen and pho.

Lemongrass, galangal, lime leaf and chilli goodness.

All those are inferior to a simple bowl of kuey teow th'ng and a glass of ice cold Milo

Can't get on with sweetly fragrant herbs that much. Although don't mind coriander which seems generally quite unpopular.
