Agreed. Inedible.

Uncooked potatoes or raw chicken....

Also meat products made from "selected cuts"

Yes, the underdone spuds rank high, but let's not forget undercooked rice. Even worse overcooked pasta.

Peas and tinned spaghetti (things like hoops in tomato sauce).

Agree also about liver and under done spuds, ruins a meal!

Overcooked veg particularly cabbage.

Red cabbage as it is too sweet for going with mash and gravy and I can't think of any meal this fare could go with apart from the waste bin that is.
Carrots that are cut in to big chunks and only half cooked.

That's spooky. I was thinking only this evening about starting a thread about that very same thing!

Yuk, fruit in savoury dishes is just wrong!

bones in a fishcake- ruins whole meal for me. Underdone potatos- agree totally. So many places- even decent restaurants serve these chunky chips of fondant potatoes that are a bit hard in the middle. Pommes dauphinoise is quite often the same.

Yuk, yuk and yuk!

Actually, my mum invented a pork dish with a sauce that consisted of softened onions and grated apple - now I liked that a bit better but not when I could taste the apple! I occasionally make it, but the apple content is far lower than she would use!

How could I forget that corker?
I think the EU food authorities should focus their attention on this one and leave the bananas and cucumbers alone!
The person that came up with this bizarre idea should be gently taken away by strong men in white.

Okra...it's just possible to make it edible by deep frying all the slimy nastiness away until you are left with little more than a crispy shell but it really is horrible stuff otherwise.

Over cooked roast potatoes, especially small ones, they go sweet and revolting. You get them so often if you eat roast dinner at a restaurant .

Anything with marmite. Serves me right but I once snaffled a couple of what I thought were Parmentier potatoes when the chef had his back turned, only to find he'd coated them with Marmite.

We do indeed need a vomit smiley.

Also agree with the sweet and sour thing - fruit of any kind in a savoury dish is vile (IMO of course). And yes, that also includes apricots in a tagine etc. I remember making Sole Veronique at college, and wondering why on earth someone would want to spoil a beautiful piece of fish by adding a handful of grapes.

Hi sazzleperkins, everyone knows that anything with Marmite on is infact food of the gods!

We do need that vomit smilie for fruit in savoury dishes! Now a good apple or rhubarb crumble is a different matter *drools*

I'm going to have to agree to disagree with you there, Sem. And Paddington does NOT like Marmite. He's a marmalade bear through and through.

My mum's hot apple crumble with cold evaporated milk.....*joins Sem in drooling*
