What about fruit sauces, for example duck a l'orange? I had a delicious meal of duck in raspberry jus ... one of the best meals I've ever eaten.

Urgh, no. Sorry, fruit is a pud and should be kept well away from meat.

Turkey and cranberry, pork and apple sauce, pineapple on pizzas, pineapple on gammon - yuk!

I also can't stand food in my drinks - ice but no slice for me.

Maybe I'm just a foodie Philistine though.

Fruit sauces on savoury things are a no-no for me too!

Fruit + savoury = WRONG.

Overcooked, soggy veg - cook it till all the flavour and goodness is gone, why don't you
Frozen veg, apart from peas - just goes slimy and gross
Sweetcorn - tis the food of the devil I tell you
Oh, and offal - I can't sit in our canteen if there's liver on the menu - the smell makes me heave

But fruit with savoury is nice (if done correctly). Roast pork wouldn't be right without nice, tart apple sauce, and you can't make homemade sweet & sour without pineapple

My parents always have banana with their curries. That seems a bit extreme to me, but then I despise bananas anyway.

So it is actually a proper curry!, I thought my friend was just being weird!!!!! I think I was better of believing she was weird, now I know there are other people out there eating it, I feel worse.

I'm with you on that one. I also cut the horrible hairy core thing off every tomato in the tin!

So i'm guessing all the people saying no fruit in savory dishes don't consider the tomato a fruit?

Soggy sulphurous overcooked broccoli
Creamed sweetcorn
hairy bacon (shudders)

I love fruit with meat though

My sister's MIL told us that her and her husband used to have curry somewhere years ago, and they put slices of banana around the plate. MIL said they initially thought it was a bit strange, but then tried the banana with the curry and loved it!

I have only one word for that.... bleurgh!

Nope, nor a cucumber

Even though 'technically' they are.

Yes, all fruit. I am trying to think of an exception and apart from tomatoes (which have been mentioned) I can't.

I love raisins, but when people put them in a curry I just can't eat them. There you are enjoying a nice savoury curry and you bite into a sweet intruder! NO!

I've never really got the apple with pork either.

I have a savoury 'tooth' though and would always choose savoury food over sweet, so I am a bit biased

No! I don't like duck anyway, so the thought of either of those (especially raspberry) makes me feel sick. I do love raspberries though.

I bought some cranberry sauce at Christmas and made some chicken, brie and cranberry parcels. They were vile as the cranberry was SO sweet.

I remember when I had a cocktail in a pub with fresh mint. I've never seen so much mint before, it was ridiculous. Put me off the whole drink as there were loads of bits in it even after i've removed the 'bush'. I should have taken it home for other recipes.

Glad to see there's so many people who think the same way

When my dad used to make curry at home he'd serve it with sliced cucumber, tomatoes and banana. Ick. Him and my stepmum seemed to enjoy it though!

Hmm, well that's a tricky one. I know it is a fruit, but I suppose looking at it from another angle, you wouldn't use tomatoes as a sauce for ice cream or a sweet dessert would you? (well maybe you would, who knows)

Lemons or limes?

I actually used to be the same, but i've come to enjoy more fruity meals now, not all the time but certainly on occasions. For example I made a chicken and papaya curry (more a fruity stew to be honest) the other night and it was lovely.

I like to eat a lot of curry, the vast majority of the time I don't like them sweet but once in a while it's nice for a change to have a fruity one

Rare meat.....I'm a chef's nightmare as I like my meat well done.

And they seem to cook it rarer and rarer these days on food shows!

Hate rare Meat as well, has to be medium to well done, rare feels like it's not been cooked properly.

Apart from Chippy style Cod/Haddock, i hate Seafood. I vomit if i taste anyother type of Seafood.

Hate overcooked Veg as well, all the taste has gone from the Veg.

I dislike shellfish, but that's more of a personal preference than a "there's nothing worse than" ... I actually wish I liked it, and have tried many a-time, but to no avail.

I still disagree with you all about fruit in savoury meals!

Offal. How anybody can eat a pig's trotter,when you think where they've been, or a kidney / heart / lungs etc. is beyond me.
