Food that everyone else raves about, but you just can't stomach.
For me, it's Pie 'n' Mash:

Have many a mate who sees it as a thing of wonder, a lunchtime treat to be appreciated. Double pie, double mash, liquor...shake a load of vinegar on it!
Whenever I've sampled it, it's leaden pastry, over-salted gravy filling with one or two pieces, if you're lucky, of tough beef (?), with lumpy mash and a thin, green sauce with little or no taste that swamps everything.
FFS, if that's the best the London can come up with....

Vegetables.
I can manage the odd chip, if they're cut thin enough, other than that I don't touch the stuff.

Seafood, particularly shellfish. And I live in one of the #1 places for flipping oysters. Nope, not for me. And I don't care for the way they cook mussels round here either, literally 20 seconds under some pine needles. Yuk.

Cakes, biscuits. Sugary, floury stuff. In fact puddings in general.
I sometimes order another starter instead of dessert.

Beetroot. Absolutely disgusting. Sprouts are another thing that should be banned.

Floury baps, who the heck thought they were a good idea, I know lets make this bread and then chuck a load of dry flour on it to get everywhere and get claggy in the gob.

Re: Food that everyone else raves about, but you just can't stomach.
I like shellfish, but if I eat too much, I fart and shit myself uncontrollably. The problem is I've never found out how much is too much, thus ruining several pairs of pants.
I now give it a swerve completely.

That London pie and mash is utter shit, lumpy tasteless potatoes, sodden pies full of gristle.....probably suits the cockney londoners of the time with no teeth, or taste.gremlin wrote: ↑Mon Aug 21, 2023 4:52 pm For me, it's Pie 'n' Mash:
