People Are Sharing The Worst "Crimes Against Food" They Can Think Of, Here Are The 35 Best Answers

Seasoning the food. It amazes me how many people cook without properly seasoning their food.

My wife, when we first started dating, was one of these people. The first time she cooked for me it was chicken breast and it was so bad. It looked like a pale slab sitting on a plate. She has gotten much better now but there are so many people who go through life just raw dogging their own taste buds.

Overcooking fish, especially salmon.

I don't order fish at restaurants because the majority of them cook it "tourist" - the way most people expect it - and it's overcooked and dried. out.

I had a lady order salmon with a slice of american cheese on top. I had to ask twice what she wanted because it wasn’t computing.

Miracle whip instead of mayo.

My roommate puts applesauce on anything. Tacos, fish, spaghetti, steak, burgers, you name it, and he will put it into a bowl of applesauce. It's horrifying.

Unseasoned chicken.

I grew up with a mother who put butter and white sugar on rice. I made my rice the same way for a while because I learned by example, but now I realize it's a totally bananas thing to do. My mom is one of those people who loves sweet things, and anything that isn't already sweet can be improved by adding more sugar. Savory doesn't exist in her house at all.

Automatically adding seasoning/salt/pepper to the dish before tasting it.

I'm a waitress so I've seen it all, and I hardly ever judge. But this one time, I took an order that started out simple: three eggs, soft scramble. Add spinach and goat cheese. Add fresh strawberries. Scrambled. In the eggs. They turned this grey brown color...and you bet the customer ate every bite.

"Make wine easily" tutorials that are grape juice mixed with yeast.

My coworker eats a ton of ketchup with pizza. Even though it’s a tomato-based sauce, it’s still shocking to see that much ketchup eaten with pizza. We’re talking a full dip before every bite.

Overcooked mushy rice.

Time temperature abuse or a contamination. Make what you like, just make it safely.

Im gonna put my mom on blast with this one.

Whenever she makes chili mac or beef stew she adds some cheese (normal), whole Ritz crackers (still normal) and then a very large dollop of mayonnaise in it. She takes a cracker fills 1/4 of it with mayonnaise and then the rest is the chili mac or stew broth. I thought it was normal but I just didnt like the taste. I made chili mac for my husband after we got married and he thought I lost my mind when I asked him if he wanted mayonnaise on it.

I made a very nice bolognese a couple of months ago. Red wine, pancetta, two kinds of meat, the works. I gave some to my friend to take home, bc sharing is caring. M**********r put it on a piece of leftover salmon.
