Food Abominations

I love them with cranberry sauce, when I lived in the UK we had gravy and cranberry sauce with the turkey at christmas. Delicious!

Edit: but I am sure some find yorkies with cranberry sauce an abomination, I am a foreigner after all

People in the US do weird Thanksgiving sandwiches with turkey, cranberry sauce, etc. Not my thing but it's quite popular.

Cranberry sauce on anything savory is an abomination. Never understood that American Thanksgiving tradition...

Actually I got the idea from Nigel Slater, a famous British chef. So once again I do think different strokes for different folks.

You are correct! There are many things sophisticated people with excellent tastes enjoy that I don't.

Well of course, everyone is different. For example, I think caviar is boring. But I guess that's a different thread.

So on topic with another abomination, and very popular in Sweden. I present you: banana pizza
Your guide to Swedish pizzas

And this isn't a one off, it's really a common flavor there..

I love the million dollar bacon at First Watch. It's one of the few maple syrup dishes I like.

• 1 cup brown sugar
• 1 tablespon black pepper
• 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
• ½ cup maple syrup
• ½ cup water
• 8 slices thick cut bacon

What's not to like?

The bacon?

 

[SatNavSaysStraightOn]

Baked beans on toast!
Even worse with a slice of cheese on it!

Just love it. It was a favourite meal of mine right up until my dairy allergy kicked in.

Presumably you don't do peanut butter and cheese sandwiches either?

Another weird combo
And now I go hide in a corner from a lot of you

No baked beans for breakfast either.
Maybe dinner, if you add bacon, tomatoes, onions, garlic, chili peppers and a lot of other goodies

Yeah, I don't like baked beans either.
Guess that's why I had to leave the UK after all

Just imagine ruining your meal with a dollop of wallpaper glue. Bread sauce is from the same species.

I think a lot of bread sauce is the grim glue you describe and in the past I wouldn’t touch it with a barge pole. Then about 20 years ago I had some at my mother in laws and wow that was so good. Since then if I’ve made it myself I really enjoy it. Done right it’s just an onion and clove flavoured cream sauce.

Done badly (not enough time steeping the onions and not enough double cream used) it is a gloopy food hell

True that. Any recommended brands or recipes?

Same thing, but sweeter, and often with wierd flavour additions: pork rinds, ham hock, maple syrup, spicy Buffalo BBQ, chilpotle ,etc.
Have to admit, I love them. My son in Ohio, however, won´t touch them. Heinz only for him!

I don’t like baked beans either. I don't hate them but I'd prefer to not ever have to eat them.
