Pet hates and food

corned beef hash

When we first got married, that was the dish we'd eat often. That video is way, way fancier than what we made. Ours was with potatoes, eggs, onions and canned corned beef cooked on the stove top. Was good and filling.
The baked beans idea is right up my alley.

spam is made from eyelids, lips and ar#es

I just started laughing when I read that.
So I checked. The claim is that it isn't those parts. I don't care either way. I don't eat it just because I don't, Someone upthread mentioned that it's big in Hawaii which I just learned.

I hate tinned or mushy peas, spam is made from eyelids, lips and ar#es. Worst thing is anything plated up with tweezers in a restaurant.

Mushy peas are essential with fish and chips

Its awful stuff and worse when fried, my grandad used to eat it i guess in those days road kill would have been classed as a decent meal

Hahaha, I was on the point of saying that it’s better when it’s fried! I guess it’s the marmite factor, love it or hate it.

Hahahaha red sauce I never bother with but now HP brown in stew like your Ma makes and a fry mmmmm

Talking of stew yer ma makes the all important factor is which mince @Gerryjo ?

Ugh. Bad on top of bad. That sounds worse than what I had. My misery was measured in hours (maybe three or four).
Cooks not following code drives me crazy, even something missing like a beard net.

We had been to an Indian restaurant on the recommendation from a welsh man in our hotel. When I got back on my feet I said to him how bad it was. His reply was “I wasn’t even in it I was pis*ed when I told you it was good”
Day 3 I was able to drink water without it going straight through again

Another and this is a big one:
Ice cream used to come in a half-gallon container. The makers have shrunk the size down to 1.5 quarts. Just raise the darn price and don't try to fool people.
Ice cream related: A popular brand here, Breyer's, started adding that thickener to it. I took one bite and could tell it wasn't straight ice cream anymore. Mad.

We have very strict rules in NZ on what can be called ice cream. Anything not made of milk/cream must be labelled as frozen dessert...

We used to have that also but the food companies threw money at the issue some decades ago.

Modernist cuisine: purée everything and call it modernist?
Looks like baby food at $500+/person

Your forgetting the foam.

Which looks like cuckoo spit.

It's kind of ho-hum, tastes almost like ham. It's not offensive at all. Heaven knows what it's made of though. I'm afraid to check. I've seen it at Costco in bulk a few years ago.
Being on the poor side growing up, it was around the house a lot.

We have it in our fish shops, battered. It's amazing!

 

[Tess Tickle's Brewery]

Its v

It's vile is salad cream yukkkk...

Lol Gerry!

When we were kids and we used to refuse something that was put in front of us, my dad used to call us 'nice mouth'.

I think that's hilarious!

I highly doubt anyone I know would go to a restaurant that charged that! Have you been? If no, how do you know?

Is there a sauce to eat it with? Salad cream, perhaps?
I think tartar sauce might work but nothing concrete comes to mind.
Are hotdogs widely consumed in the UK?
Ballpark Franks brand (beef) is one of my favorites.

I reckon salad cream would be nice with it, or mayo

Yes we have hotdogs, sometimes on the mobile burger vans that you see at festivals or concerts etc, with lots of fried onions, american mustard and tomato sauce (ketchup)

If you wanna be a spice monster, you could dip it in encona. That stuff is my absolute fave.

 

[DavidDetroit]

hotdogs

NY and some of the bigger cities will have hotdog vendors on the street. The food trucks are everywhere now.
My experience when I first lived in Manhattan was handing over a $5 for a $3 hotdog. The mother f****** pocketed it and said thanks for the tip. It happened so fast that I didn't get really p***** off about it until later.
