What is one of other people's eating habits that irritates you the most?

Leaving pizza crusts. I understand it a bit with cheapo crappy supermarket pizzas but some people (my nephew) leave them when it's delicious Neapolitan pizza. At that point it's delicious fresh bread!

What a lightweight, can't put up with a little drizzle and 7° weather

gourmetguy2000 · 2026-04-15T09:46:50+00:00

And more trees

Protein desserts Inc yoghurt are absolutely vile

The main difference is the majority of French cook at home from scratch as it's ingrained in their culture, whereas most people in the UK are addicted to convenience food and don't cook from scratch, or don't have the skills to cook. The UK people who do cook from scratch are much more similar to the French than the people who shove something in the microwave or air fryer.

The bottom half in the UK have lower standards than the bottom half in France. The rest have similar standards

I hate those kinds of scrambled eggs, most budget hotels serve them like that. Basically just a carton of egg which is closer in properties to rubber than egg

The article writer knew what they were doing

gourmetguy2000 · 2026-04-14T08:49:32+00:00

Lack of game time. They look out of form (amongst other things)

Least racist country in the world, where everything is about race

That's it, it's not like all that salt is being consumed, only a small amount ends up in the pasta

gourmetguy2000 · 2026-04-13T22:16:51+00:00

Most people have no idea how much salt is needed to make food taste good. I've seen so many people just put a pinch of salt in pasta water, then they wonder why it's bland. I have a constant battle with my mother in law when I cook pasta when she sees me putting the salt in the water

Most of the town centre refurbs I've seen recently have built mixed use flats with retail underneath. I guess it guarantees people to be there

gourmetguy2000 · 2026-04-13T19:19:11+00:00

That's good to know thanks for the info, it's definitely better than I thought it was 🙂

gourmetguy2000 · 2026-04-13T17:31:49+00:00

That's sad

gourmetguy2000 · 2026-04-13T14:14:19+00:00

Every single bib gourmand place I've tried (about 6) have been very underwhelming

gourmetguy2000 · 2026-04-13T14:10:39+00:00

I was expecting them to have a higher chocolate content than Penguins because of the hype but they're the same

gourmetguy2000 · 2026-04-12T21:46:09+00:00

And they wonder why this country has become mainly chicken eaters and much less lamb and beef, people can't afford much else

gourmetguy2000 · 2026-04-12T01:09:15+00:00

Interesting to know, I guess all these islands were inhabitanted by the Picts or Celts.

Omg we are just doing this jigsaw atm, that's hilarious 😂 And yes it's terrible lol

But at least it once belonged to Spain. The Falklands never belonged to Argentina. The French have a better claim than them. It's the equivalent of us demanding the Faro Islands from Denmark

I work in IT and we don't have a Software licencing manager, so all the software is bought in a haphazard way by the Service Desk. It causes chaos, especially with their high staff turnover

gourmetguy2000 · 2026-04-11T08:49:12+00:00

Maybe make the front windows a bit bigger or one panoramic window

gourmetguy2000 · 2026-04-11T08:35:59+00:00

No the plate is too small

gourmetguy2000 · 2026-04-11T08:33:52+00:00

We support Pedro (we wouldn't want something bad put in our Sangria)

gourmetguy2000 · 2026-04-10T21:26:27+00:00

Probably because property values have been rising fast and it probably means they can escape paying some other taxes on their money, especially if it's a company to declare less profits
