A cup of tea where the teabag has been anywhere near a cup. Heathen.

Using an infuser and loose tea in the office can get a bit messy.

Vegetarians/vegans preaching to meat-eaters about animal welfare etc.

Restaurants that list on their fish menu - ".... topped with a succulent wedge of lemon".

It's just a slice of lemon, stop trying to pad it out, doesn't even need to be mentioned!

Am always amused by the many names (pork, pork chops, spare ribs, bacon, etc) which are used to describe pig meat.

Meat substitute foods for vegetarians that still include the meat in its name.

Over-use of an ingredients' origin on a restaurant menu eg Madagascan Vanilla, Malden Sea Salt.

How the mid range foods are hardly any difference from the value foods in the supermarket apart from the price.

I really cannot stand it when people touch my food or interfere with it whilst it’s being cooked. Now iknow this sounds abit odd because people may touch food whilst in the factory etc but there’s nothing worse when I sit down to eat and someone puts there fingers towards my plate as if they are going to grab something or someone takes abit of the cheese off the edge of my pizza.it puts me off eating altogether. I had some pasta in the saucepan recently and someone (an adult not a child in my household!) picked a folk up that has been used for something else (raw meat)that was also cooking at the same time and stirred my pasta. They were doing it to be helpfulbut this is what I mean by interfering.

I also hate it when I receive something that the seal is broken on.

Apart from that I’ll eat anything aslong as I’m not allergic to it

Check out Posh Nosh on YouTube. They're 10 minute skits starring Richard E Grant and Arabella Weir doing exactly what you said in your second paragraph. Absolutely hilarious.

Pretentious nonsense

Luke warm hot chocolate in cafes.

It's supposed to be hot. It's in the name. If it is a few degrees above tepid I promise not to sue!

Is battery Hans the German Torchy?

The devotion to cheese and that it now appears to be lathered on just about anything.

It's rancid milk .

Jus , no it is gravy.

One of my favourite quotes of all time came from Fred Elliott the butcher on Coronation St in the 80's "If we weren't meant to eat cows God wouldn't have made them beef flavour"

One thing I hate is lukewarm soup. Soup should be hot. Actually, any food served lukewarm deserves to be sent back.
Cold pies in chip shops (or football stadiums!).
Cheese on pasta - yuck - but then I don't like cheese at all.

I don't think that anyone would particularly like Lukewarm soup.

Ketchup-It's for kids.

Many years ago when I was in the MN on one ship there was an engineer who, at meal times, would walk in to the saloon, sit down, pick up the menu and say "right, what dead animals have we got tonight?"

When it comes to animals, most people still have 17th century ideas.

Ignorance is bliss n all that.

The concept of the Currywurst came about due to the British penchant for curry after occupying India and subsequently having a military presence in Berlin after the Second World War. It's historically significant, I tell you :-)

By the way, I'm about to start reading a book about it.

"Did you say we're having pig, chips and peas for dinner tonight, love?"

"Pig? Don't be absurd. We'll be noshing on gammon steaks".

In days of yore when we didn't have to apply for a crisis loan to afford a restaurant meal I'd sometimes have a mixed grill until it dawned what I was about to tackle: some pig, cow and sheep. Ugh.

Ever since I've had a lot more time for veg-waving fans of Forest Green Rovers.

It has its place. Sandwiches mainly. Roast beef, lettuce, swiss, mustard and mayo on a toasted hero. Had one for lunch yesterday. If you think I'm an idiot, I'm OK with that because you obviously don't know what you're talking about.
