nandos is overpriced and more times than not, the chicken is very dry. I'd rather have KFC and that's not exactly quality food.

I love Nando's sauces, but the chicken is really nothing special, so when i go to Nandos I ususally have the mushroom and halloumi burger which is pretty nice.

No need for the sarky """ not my fault if you don't know everything about everything
I used to eat supermarket sushi everyday when I was too ill to cook. It had protein and carbs so looked like a balanced meal. Tasted good too. I do eat poultry and pork that I have frozen and cooked myself. But I have eaten a lamb curry in a restaurant recently, but it was fine. The same documentary had a story about pork parasites that infect the human brain but die when the meat is frozen. I know not to wash chicken in the kitchen sink as much of the chicken in supermarkets has samone'lla which can be spread around the kitchen in droplets of water and it doesn't kill it anyway. I have a compromised immune system and my consultant advised me to freeze all fresh uncooked meat and fish before cooking it to kill the nasties. I trust his advice and I've never had food poisoning since |

I'm lucky, in that I can eat just about anything, I regularly have sushi, I love seafood and most things mentioned on this thread. I think I might baulk at sheeps eyeballs though.
![]() p.s. I have to add, I'm not a fan of macdonalds or burger king, I prefer to make my own. |

Greek- apart from the salad. The rest of Greek food is so bland and boring.

Pizza. It's the blandest food ever. Just glorified cheese on toast
I can take chip shop Cod & Haddock but i dislike most of Seafood, i'm allergic to some Seafood think it's to do with the oils in Seafood. |

I remember that thread. Utterly ridiculous. As long as the food is good then why does it matter? I've never had anything served on something inappropriate (ie. Gravy on a slate or board). I think on occasions slate in particular can help with presentation. My favourite local restaurant which we think is pretty close to getting a Michelin star served me my scallop starter on slate the last time I was there. It was one of the best starters I've ever had, there was no difference between it being on a plate or slate, the only difference the slate made was that it looked nicer.
This "adult sized" portion nonsense makes me laugh too. I've eaten in plenty of nice places and never left anywhere hungry, the food is often richer, so more filling and I've always left just pleasantly full. I guess some people aren't happy and don't care what the food is like as long as they feel like they're about to explode at the end. What I meant about portion size was getting a reasonable amount not a portion which wouldn't satisfy a toddler. I find piled up plates very off putting too so I do prefer to get the main course on a plate and then the veggies or accompanying food served in a tureen or dish so you can help yourself. |

Actually I care very much about the quality of the food I am served and I also care very much about presentation and cleanliness and hygiene. If a place looks grubby I wouldn't even order food but if it came and the cutlery or crockery wasn't up to scratch then I would refuse it.

Even if the "crockery is not up to scratch", surely you have plates of your own with stains or chips that you still happily eat off? |

But what does the object it's served on have to with cleanliness or hygiene? At a guess, I would say slate is probably more hygienic than a plate, if we're going down that road. Nothing wrong with wood either, people have been eating out of wooden bowls for centuries and I'm sure you've stirred dishes with a wooden spoon.
Even if the "crockery is not up to scratch", surely you have plates of your own with stains or chips that you still happily eat off? ![]() ![]() at your laSt sentence. Never, ever keep anything cracked or chipped. ![]() How can slate be more hygienic than a Smooth China plate? Slate has an uneven, rough surface which may harbour germs. Could you put it in a dishwasher? I don't know but just the grating of the cutlery against a rough surface would put me off. |

Supermarket sushi is not real sushi, it's a poor copy. I love Japanese food but there is a big difference between the crappy pretend stuff and a good authentic Japanese restaurant. It's not for everyone though, my friends hate it but I could live on it.
Back to the OP There isnt a specific cuisine that I dislike but here are individual dishes that make me heave and there are things I wouldn't touch on principal or due to the yuk factor. My best comfort food dishes are fresh seaside fish and chips Any Jamaican food Homemade spaghetti Bol Cheese on toast Things I'd never touch Anything made from an animal I'd keep as a pet, dog/ cat etc Bugs like on Im a celebrity Raw meat Raw eggs prairie oyster style Things I regret eating Shark steak Cheapizza made me I'll for 2 wks Any thing from a roadside food truck Funfair food |

No, surely not. Do you think that is usual? I didn't think so until you said this.
And having just Googled "using chipped plates" it seems it's entirely normal to keep using them. Even the people on MumsNet have no problem with it so there really can't be any issue there!

Lasagne. Can't stand the stuff.
Not keen on pizza either. Nor sushi! Fish should be fried or out of a tin

Yes, I really, really do think it's usual to use chipped plates. Maybe not stained ones, I only have one or two of those. But mildly chipped plates - what's the problem?
