Something else for this thread. Posters who aren't capable of accepting that others may have different opinions, likes and dislikes.

Oooh someone likes salad cream!

Me. I like mayonnaise, Ranch, French Dressing & Blue Cheese dressing, also.

Yes, I like mayonnaise, French dressing, a basic vinaigrette, occasionally salad cream when mayonnaise, for example, doesn't quite have the je ne sais quoi. There are others not mentioned, eg Marie Rose.

Why do some people have to be such tts about these things?

Garlic is st, onions are st, all alliums are st and chillis are st. People should learn to eat their food without a load of extra and strong flavours masking the taste of basic good food. And they should lay off the salt too.

People should learn to be more adventurous with the flavours they try

You think I haven't tried those things? Seriously? Of course I've tried them, more than once, more often than I wanted to too.

And that's how I know they are st.

Do you go to restaurant and have the plainest thing on the menu?

Makes sense, why waste good money on a dish you may not like ?

I wonder about people whose taste receptors are not connected to their brain
and will shovel up anything put in front of them,

You seem to be taking this daft thread quite seriously.

[GilletteFan]

Gluten-free breads and dairy-free yoghurts have drawn my ire of late.

No doubt it's been covered elsewhere, but why are so many people using the phrase, "to be fair" these days?

I believe it’s because saying ‘in all fairness’ had become rather cliched

I don't go to restaurants, because they put st ingredients in everything. When I want a really good meal I eat at home.

Where do you eat when you don't want a really good meal?

To be honest, I’m not sure this should be in the ‘beyond reason’ thread but more like the ‘I’m fking mental with the taste buds of a two year old’ one.

There's nothing honest about that at all.

‘to be honest’ is on the same list as ‘to be fair’ & ‘I won’t lie to you’

Reminds me of this classic

[Evoluzione]

Mobile phone calls which cut off silently and stealthily when you're halfway through a speech.

Back int olden days there was a click and the dialling tone kicked in, can we have that back please?

I once had what I thought was corned beef in batter, after a few bites I asked the cheff what it was, it was an Italian barge, anyway he asked the other chef who told me it was the sheep’s brains in batter.

Not amused at all. Me adventures no, never tried crab, mussels, lobster, and lots of other food I have absolutely no wish to try, but each to their own, bacon buttie and ketchup for me thank you

[Milkyway]

It would certainly be a varied & comprehensive menu in the PH restaurant.

Today is Friday.
Ordered something yesterday with agreed delivery on Saturday, what with me being out at work and all that.
This morning get an email at 09:55 telling me it's being delivered today between 10:07 and 11:07
At 10:20 I get another email saying 'Sorry we've missed you, you can pick it up tomorrow from our depot'. Which is 6 miles from my front door.

KNOBS!

[Milkyway]

I rarely order online... but Milkyway Sr needs ‘stuff’ for his Caravan.
I ensure that I’m around for the stated delivery date & arrange my week accordingly... for it to be delivered a day or two EARLY.
Luckily, I’ve been around at the time.
( Obviously, acceptable on the rare occasion when it will fit through the letterbox).

NB: When you do the decent thing & accept or offer to take in a neighbours parcel, & then they can’t be bothered to come & collect it... feeling obliged to finish the task & delivering it myself.
( Usually with a “Ooooh, thanks, I’ve been waiting for that”).
