Adding things to foods that don't need to be added. (1 Viewer)

Raisins should go in nothing other than oatmeal cookies.

 

[Insein]

I can't remember the last time I've eaten something and wished they hadn't put a particular item in it. If its good, that one additional ingredient ain't going to make or break it. Its just a different twist on something good.

The addition of raisins has ruined every food I've ever eaten that has raisins in it. They can even make a cookie taste bad. That's hard to do.

Really? Oatmeal raisin cookies are fantastic. Rice pudding with raisins where the raisins soak up some of the moisture and get nice and plump and juicy is fantastic.

Tastes like butt.

We're not talking about butts. We're talking about ###!

Mustard on burgers. Stop.

This. Mustard is for hot dog sandwiches, ketchup is for burgers - not the other way around.

Even that is optional.

Water chestnuts should be eliminated from the planet.

Huh. These barely even have a flavor on their own, IMO. Is it a texture thing for you?

Texture, taste, appearnce. Everything about them is vile.

Texture. Dry, kinda oddly chewy, get stuck in your teeth and make everything taste like stale nuts. CHECK

Taste. Taste like stale nuts. CHECK

Appearance. Look like brown brains - sometimes with black flaky crap on them. CHECK

Sounds right. Vile. xulf know his nuts. Good work.

Split a large sea scallop, pair it with a water chestnut, wrap that in bacon with a toothpick. Cover with asian bbq sauce and bake till bacon is done.

My favorite holiday hot snack - GOAT.

So if you like goat, why the hell are you spending all that effort on scallops?

Bad answer. Mustard on a burger is perfectly acceptable.

JB would love this one. We put chopped up water chestnuts in our chicken salad.

Along with sun dried tomatoes and lots of chives. Garlic, onion powder, some garam masala and a little sesame oil.

Also use at least 1/3 sour cream to 2/3 mayo.

Mustard on burgers. Stop.

It's like I don't know you...

Weber's mustard and Heinz ketchup on a burger is a necessity. Reminds me - Some of the best burgers I have ever eaten are at a small place called Catsup and Mustard in downtown Manchester CT: http://www.catsupandmustard.com

Catsup? GTFO with that bull####.

 

[RedmondLonghorn]

Acceptable with bran flakes in a bowl with milk.

Apparently Ketchup and Mustard was taken, so... The same owner has a restaurant called Pastrami on Wry that has outstanding sandwiches. The owner's last name is Wry.

Oatmeal with raisins, a dash of cinnamon, and a little bit of maple syrup is what I grew up on for breakfast in the fall and winter. Pure comfort food.

if we are being honest ketchup doesn't belong on anything.

 

[Evilgrin 72]

Bad answer. Mustard on a burger is perfectly acceptable.

Sucks. Works on a McDonald's cheeseburger, other than that, get it off. In NJ, that's the only burger it came on, down here, they put it on f'n everything. It overpowers every other flavor. It's great on a hot dog, a pastrami sandwich, anything with some spice to it that van stand up to the mustard flavor. A burger patty doesn't stand a chance. You want a condiment that enhances the flavor of the beef when you have a good burger, not something that obliterates it.

Is it wrong to believe that ketchup on eggs is evil, but salsa is delicious?

 

[MAC_32]

I like mustard on more things than I should, but a good burger? Nah. Only if it's a ####ty burger.

Nope. Your options are usually hot sauce or something tomato based...but with texture. Not ketchup. I think the bottle in our fridge is from when we bought the house the better half of a decade ago.

 

[Evilgrin 72]

Exactly. I love mustard too, there are tons of foods that are greatly enhanced by it. I'll put half a frigging squeeze bottle on an Italian hot dog, but down here even Krystal (White Castle clone) puts mustard on their sliders. And no ketchup. It's an abomination.

 

[NorvilleBarnes]

Wait, poutine is a real food? I thought it slang. Whoa. This changes so many conversations I've had.

 

[Christo]

Cranberry sauce on a turkey sandwich.

You dirty commie.

 

[Christo]

Reminds me of Eddie Murphy Raw when he's describing the burger stuffed with all types of #### his mom made and his friend who got the McDonalds burger.

Ain't no green peppers in McDonald's.

 

[pantagrapher]

Thought of another one: shredded red cabbage. Cheap Thai places put a heap of this vile stuff on pretty much everything. Tastes like packing material.

 

[Zow]

What about oysters in stuffing? My MIL makes oyster stuffing...weird.

Mine does too and the family loves it. I, of course, pretend that I think it's amazing. It's not bad, but it's not great.

Wait, you don't use ketchup on anything else? Like not on fries or burgers or anything?

Trail mix

only acceptable pizza topping is pepperoni

So completely wrong.

Walnuts in cookies or brownies pisses me off. I'm excited to eat this delicious thing, bite into it and get a chewy, awful piece of bark mixed in. The worst.

Nope. Hot sauce and mustard is one combo for fries. Vinegar is usually the other.

It should probably go now. My science buddy said you should be safe for 7 years or so, but things can get dicey beyond that. Probably not, but at the cost of another $2 bottle the next time you host a party in which you're serving burgers (the only reason we even have it) it's kinda not worth it to gamble.

 

[The General]

Ketchup on burgers is fine.

People putting in on eggs are the freaks.

 

[pantagrapher]

Mushrooms on steak. Usually makes me think: this is probably not very good meat.

Sorry - I can't read apparently. This was applicable to walnuts. Not water chestnuts.

Agreed. Good scrambled or fried eggs don't need anything except a little salt and pepper. A HINT of cheddar cheese in scrambled eggs once in a while is not bad either, but less is definitely more.

Ketchup on eggs is awful, however hot sauce is great with eggs.

 

[mr roboto]

Walnuts are terrible raw. Toast them in the oven for a few minutes and they are transformed.

I'm fine with toasted walnuts in salad, as a crust for fish or chicken.

 

[Politician Spock]

Ketchup on scrambled eggs is okay. Ketchup on sunny side up eggs is awful. Hot sauce on both are awesome.

I might not go so far as to say they need it, but I really wouldn't care to eat eggs without hot sauce.

Though, I wouldn't say I totally love eggs by themselves either. I like them, but if I'm eating them, it's always going to be along with something else where the eggs take a secondary role. I generally only eat eggs a few ways. As part of a loaded omelette or over easy on top of some sort of fried potato product (hashbrowns) then either smothered in sausage gravy or hot dog chili. Or on a burger. Over easy on top of corned beef hash too.

I've never understood how so many people have a couple of eggs and toast and call that a meal. Maybe if the eggs are fried in a cast iron skillet in bacon grease, but sadly, few seem to do that anymore.
