As someone who has an allergy to most things dairy I hate how restaurants gave menus with things like “Grilled sea bass over a bed of new potatoes and seasonal vegetables” which sounds lovely… only then to ruin it by covering it in some cheesy sauce ffs. And then they look at you like an alien If you request the meal but with no sauce ffs

Every tv chef especially James Martin cooks, fries, bastes everything in loads of butter. Apart from the cost there’s no need.

This is your opportunity to express your disgust with the tinkering of your favourable foods. I'll kick off with cheese with fruit in it. I absolutely love cheese, and don't mind a nice crumbly Wensleydale. So could we please reintroduce the death penalty for the moron who thought it would be a great idea to put cranberries in it.

Anyone brave enough to defend such an abomination, feel free to stand up and be counted. Oh, and feel free to add your own.

Absolutely nothing wrong with a bit of Wensleydale with apricot or cranberry in it.

Kin weirdos out there. Bet you lot don't shy away from chucking a bit of tomato on yer cheese sandwich, right? Well that's fruit! Sort of.

On to food horror - quince. Anyone who enjoys quince with anything is a wrong un. It's the sort of food you have to find a special recipient to include it in, usually just to show off. So basically, just for wrong uns.

And how many bottles of champagne does Sir usually quaff with his foie gras?

Margarine on toast...

Fancy restaurants shoehorning truffle into everything they can just justify a few extra quid. The staff looking at you in utter bewilderment when you ask for no traces of truffle in any part of the dish.

It overpowers rather than enhances the original dish with the essence of wet sock left insode your hiking boots for two weeks.

Been a chef for 45 years and watched the trade lose its identity.
No longer about foods complimenting each other, just about weird stuff to provoke curiosity.
I did get my junior members of staff to try weird combinations, I did black pudding and chocolate ice cream to show them, and they came back with a baked bean milk shake.
Then someone started to put twigs, dry ice and phlegm on everything and now I cry myself to sleep.

An ex of mine used to put it in her Sunday roast ffs

Exactly. Everything needs a gimmick these days

The best restaurants are always the ones that cook simple, locally sourced produce really well.

The food should have everything you need without fannying about.

I am relieved your objection doesn't run to the quince bit. Then you'd have been put on ignore. We can agree to disagree over frhit cheese.

The whole of Thailand does it. You get sachets of the stuff with every delivery. Repulsive.
