Have you ever been really excited to eat a meal and finally bite into it just to taste something that completely throws you off? Yeah, same (I'm lookin' at you, whole cilantro leaf). So when redditor u/jeron_gwendolen asked the r/Cooking community to share what instantly ruins a dish for them, people sure didn't hold back. Here are some things that they can't stand in their food.
1. "A large tomato in a burger that can't be bitten into and slides out of the whole burger. Just thinking about it makes me mad.
" — u/Mekurilabhar "A mealy, grainy, barely pink tomato that provides no flavor at all, just gritty texture. It's like that stuff they polish your teeth with at the dentist." — u/Dogzillas_Mom 2.
"Undercooked eggplant or potato." — u/GnashLee "Ugh, I really think more people would like eggplant if they had it cooked properly. Undercooked, underseasoned, and people don't use enough fat and make it dry.
" — u/Scared_Tax470 3. "When the mostly irrelevant embellishments overpower and destroy the dish, like a nice, simple cheesecake that's attacked by three gallons of melted chocolate Pollocked all over, a whole jar of (barely) pistachio creme, and a whole Snickers bar protruding out of the top. Thanks, Instagram.
" — u/Yooustinkah 4. "An unexpected inedible garnish." — u/RedIsBlackDragon 5.
"Overcooked dry meat." — u/Melodic_Sport_2901 "I was 18 when I found out pork could be juicy. My mother, bless her, always cooked the pork bone dry.
It was a biscuit to scoop app.
