Foods the world would be better without

Rustlers.

Sweetcorn - anything that comes out looking the same as it did when it went in can't be of any nutritional value.

From a purely personal perspective - cooked cheese. Now, I know there are many cheese lovers on the board so please hear me out on this one. I can't eat cheese (intolerance - it makes me sick). I don't have a problem with people who love a nice cheese board or just grabbing a large chunk of bread and cheese for a snack. My issue is that cheese is used so often now when not necessary either to mask crap cooking or to hide other ingredients.

Tesco may be the worst culprit for this. Occasionally I may want a ready meal to eat after a hard days work. Their so-called 'Finest' range has a load of dishes which have cheese for no discernable reason - for example, Shepherds Pie or Cottage Pie does not need a cheese crumb.

Oh how wrong can one person be....... Oh the joy of cheese melted.....

You have never lived until that melted cheese ooooooohhhhh

Quorn - it's like a soggy dog biscuit

 

[The Brighton Bear]

Beetroot.

I don't know if the world needs to be involved but my waistline could do without the culinary delight that is Wheatabix.

 

[Mutts Nuts]

I apologise for ending title with a preposition.

Having just eaten a piece of excellent fruit cake ruined by the addition of Glacé Cherries, I wondered what other foodstuffs are completely without merit.

For me:-

Glacé Cherries, tasteless with a thoroughly unpleasant texture
Celery, hated ever since it was slipped into school salads when I was 6. I thought it was going to be lettuce. That was 63 years ago
Couscous. I don't think anything needs to be said.

Kentucky fried chicken

 

[StonehamPark]

Mushrooms - It's fungus. Stop putting it in your mouth!

Sprouts.
Mashed potato.

 

[El Sid]

French mustard. For the timid.

Wasabi - what's that all about?

 

[Green Cross Code Man]

McDonald's

Absolutely

Agreed. The crap served in there probably costs the NHS more than recreational drug use.

Hey, we're talking about foods here! There is some doubt as to the status of the stuff McDonald's serve up:

Christmas Pudding.

Utterly unpalatable.

My mother-in-law makes it EVERY Christmas, even though everyone hates it. Don't try to deny that you hate it as well, because I won't believe you.

Hang him! Christmas pud is the food of champions (or in my case, fat blokes! )

Beetroot is disgusting though,

Same here. I usually have mine in a weetabix, shreddies and cornflake cocktail with a dollop of mango yoghourt.

 

[Razzoo]

Lime pickle

No way. Parsnips are scum though.

 

[Prince Monolulu]

(especially marzipan) and obviously

 

[GT49er]

Take away deep fried pizza.

Is it anything like weetabix?

 

[Tricky Dicky]

Quinoa - tastes like vomit and eaten by pretentious tosspots
Mushrooms- horrific texture and I'm allergic to them
Broccolli- the idea of eating midget trees haunts me a little

Broccolli is wonderful. Could probably live a full and happy life without sweetcorn, though.

 

[Tricky Dicky]

Lettuce, no flavour and utterly pointless

Cooked lettuce is fantastic.

 

[Tricky Dicky]

Rustlers.

I don't know what that is, and I'm in no hurry to find out.

Plaice cooked any way. I love fish but to me plaice is a nothing fish that should be reserved for sick patients in hospital
