Bit weird that they've turned it into a some kind of crusade, though. There are other foodstuffs that are more universally detested, I'd have thought. Why is anything with pineapple on automatically "hawaiian"? I've known a few Hawaiians, and never saw them with a pineapple even once. Did you search them carefully? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it's more the fact that it's a sweet flavoured piece of fruit getting put on a savoury dish like pizza or gammon steak that folk have an issue with. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stellaboz Posted March 2, 2021 Share Posted March 2, 2021 The only way you can eat beetroot is either shredded into a salad, or boiled right down and served as a cool soup with cream. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheeseburger usually contains gherkin and tomato. Both fruit. 31 minutes ago, hk blues said: It was classed as a vegetable by the US Supreme Court due to its culinary uses. They don't have jurisdiction here.

So the issue is you have an unsophisticated palate. The acid and sugar in fruit is widely used to counter balance the umami saltiness of meats. Stick to your findus crispy pancakes. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure I remember something about shredded beetroot mixed into mince making for tasty burger patties. Then again, I might just be thinking of an outtake from the dinner scene in Salo. Either/or. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't particularly like gherkins, so you can stick them up your..ermmm put them at the side of your plate. 2 minutes ago, BFTD said: I'm sure I remember something about shredded beetroot mixed into mince making for tasty burger patties.

That shredded thing might be worth investigating, though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Honest_Man#1 Posted March 2, 2021 Share Posted March 2, 2021 1 hour ago, coprolite said: Well f**k them then. Food adapts and evolves and does so rapidly when it's adopted overseas. When noodles were introduced to Italy from china they evolved into the array of pasta shapes we have today. I wonder if Italian chefs were all like "the chinese wouldn't make a spiral; that's not proper" "Authenticicity" is fine in small doses, but is the enemy of progress. Agree with this. Incredibly annoying when someone claims a food as their own and loses the plot because you’ve done something differently. I don’t give a f**k what you think and don’t need/want your seal of approval to eat what I want. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
