Counterpoint to yesterday. What food is never in your house? Some of mine are dislikes, others I just don’t use.
Baked beans & tinned spaghetti
Tinned fish
Bananas
SPAM
Cream cheese
Microwave meals
Canton etc jars
Frozen veg except peas
Tinned asparagus
Carob
Breakfast cereal
Well, there's egg and bacon; egg sausage and bacon; egg and spam; egg bacon and spam; egg bacon sausage and spam; spam bacon sausage and spam; spam egg spam spam bacon and spam; spam sausage spam spam bacon spam tomato and spam
Spam spam spam spam!
Cheeky. I shall slap you with a herring.
onions. Cant eat 'em. Garlic isnt much better.
That’s rough. Have a friend who can’t touch any allium at all. Hard to adapt, I use them in near everything.
These days it’s lamb due to the price, pork is almost never in my place except for bacon. That’s the exception and fresh vegetables.
I don’t mind lamb but will go years between buying it. I just doesn’t register as a thing most of the time. Eat loads of piggy though, really annoyed the Colesworth apple sausages seem to have vanished.
Apple Sausages?!
Oh my god, how did I miss those? I want some now :(
They were bloody good. Not overly ground up into paste like too many sausages are (presumably to hide what’s in them)
Crunchy peanut butter, garlic and onions, cows milk, tinned tomatoes, mangoes.
(Intolerance and just not liking crunchy)
celery spam and tinned meat in general EXCEPT for tinned mutton ham (only from asian grocers) cos I really like this jar sauces tinned veg carob lolly water breakfast cereal tins of soup EXCEPT for Campbells chicken consomme when I can find any (the best!)
This mutton ham thing sounds curious. Have heard celery described as ‘hairy water’, but love it myself.
Real mutton ham is delish - its a leg of lamb/hogget/two tooth that's been salted and smoked like pig ham. Very hard to find and bloody expensive as not much is made. The tinned mutton ham is a nice sandwich meat with a different flavour profile to regular ham, but has all that salty smoky cancerous goodness. Comes in a pale yellow tin with foreign writing on it. Try asian grocers.
Celery can get in the bin. If I want watery crunch I'll go for cucumber every time cos less stringy bits.
I use celery in bolognese sauce, in minestrone and sliced very thinly in salads. I use the leaves finely chopped in place of parsley as it's the same thing.
stinky cheese
no tinned vegies other than beans and tomatoes
no premade sauces
very few foods made overseas, I will buy the aussie version
Corn kernels are acceptable tinned. And beetroot but I mostly do my own for that.
Lol. Most of those are in my kitchen. The only thing I can think of is cans of soup like cream of chicken, cream of mushroom etc.
I don’t buy those either. Once in a blue moon will get a ‘chunky steak’ sort of thing but it’s always disappointing.
They are aren't they. My dad called them "untouched by human hands".
Yep. There’s something about tinned or jar cooked things that just isn’t right. Sort of sticky clammy. Need my thesaurus!
It's the surface tension, they are stringy thick. They also use fats that don't melt in your mouth. They are too sweet.
100% on the too sweet. Never found a jar salsa that wasn’t effectively jam.
