Food is, pun very much intended, the ultimate matter of taste. Everyone has their favorites, their restrictions and those few dishes that end up being irresistible. But by the same token, some combinations or techniques are so baffling, folks had to share them online. 

Someone asked “What is considered a crime against food?” and people shared the culinary “delights” they think should never have seen the light of day. From poor taste to truly abominable recipes, get comfortable as you scroll through, upvote the worst examples and be sure to share your own thoughts in the comments section below.

Back in the 90s we drank this horrid cinnamon liquor called Goldschläger because it contained gold flakes. The supremely gullible kids were convinced that, if you drank enough, you got a gold plated liver. We were so very stupid.

Well for a start it's NOT supposed to be applied like the image. A few flakes on a "special' dessert maybe, but usually chefs that do this only do it to inflate the prices for what is basically just ordinary offerings.

The amount of gold involved is minute. Gold has the unique property if being able to be beaten into sheets barely a few molecules thick.

Well, it definitely doesn't need to be applied on a steak, and on nothing should it be applied in big globs like that! But a few artful touches on a dessert is lovely, and nobody cares if it doesn't add taste. It's pretty, just like flowers that you can't eat.

Fold in mayonnaise so it's slightly opaque! Just open up whatever cans you have in the house - pineapple, corn, olives, chicken - and layer them all into a mold shaped like a fish! Is there fish in here? Who knows, who cares! God is dead and only aspic remains.

    Oh I love going through my mom's old cookbooks from the 60s and 70s. Gelatin molds, gelatin molds everywhere! To be fair, it was a practical way to make a "loaf" without having to resort to expensive meat as the binder. Just a mostly flavorless and very slimy way.

    Depending on how you prepare the jelly, it can be delicious. In Bavaria we have a dish called "Tellersülze" which is sliced pork roast with slices of boiled egg, pickles a slice of Tomato and Parsley in jelly (either home made from pork bones and feet or from powdered gelatine). Perfect beer garden food.

    Sülze as such is actually tasty, whether it be with lots of vegetables, chicken etc. It just needs spices. And it used to be a popular way of preserving food before refrigerators were a thing in most households.

    My wife's favorite food, is Aspic, which she refers to as "Pig jelly" Made by simmering about 15bs of chicken, beef and pork meat and bones along with a couple smoked pig feet in a 5 quart pot for 14 hours, then pouring the liquid through a strainer into serving bowls with a small amount of meat at the bottom, and letting them sit in the fridge overnight to set up into crystal clear gelatin, which is eaten COLD. :::shudder::: The only saving grace of knowing that meal exists is that i now make chicken/turkey soup with such a high volume of meat that it sets up similarly in the fridge, you can literally take a slice of soup lol, which makes for great soup dumplings.

    The 50s and 60s were when even low-income households were getting electric refrigerators. Because of the need for even temperature during the cooling process, gelatin requires an electric refrigerator. The Jello company capitalised upon this brilliantly by putting free recipe cards in supermarkets (remember, this was pre-Internet so collecting recipes took effort). Imported canned foods were becoming increasingly available and popular, which the Jello company took advantage of by incorporating into your recipes. If you were serving aspics/gelatines of any sort it was a way to show off that "hey, we can afford an electric fridge!" and "we are sophisticated enough to use these fancy new foods!"

    Before it was fashionable, before refrigeration and packet gelatin, aspics were made from boiling the offcuts after butchering an animal. The gelatin layer acted as a barrier that prevented oxygen reaching the meat inside, preserving it.

    We have two versions of this in my deli (hot and mild). They are consistently in the top 5 products we sale. I only have three things in my deli that I can not bring myself to taste, and head cheese tops that list. I find the concept repulsive, but apparently my sales indicate that many many people disagree with me. To each his own. 🤷‍♀️

    It wasn't the sweetened Jello they used, it was just the gelatin with no sugar. Jessica Vill (youtuber I sometimes watch) tested out some 50s recipes but used the sweetened Jello. What she made could've been not that bad, as some people in the comments were saying, if she used unsweetened gelatin.

    About 6 years ago, right after my dad died we had thanksgiving dinner at my uncles house, big to do with about 25 people. I spent the day before making cup cakes, from scratch with homemade cream cheese, buttercream frosting. Almost everyone loved them....except my aunt who picked up one, then took a napkin and wiped the frosting off the cupcake without even trying it. Cupcakes are frosting delivery systems, and that was a hate crime.

    My wife and I argued about my claim she boiled meat (Her.."that's how my Mom did it"), cook in a skillet, with water, until done. She has since come to her senses and at least roasts it now.

    Depends. Famous 'Rippchen mit Kraut' would be braised in meat broth and sauerkraut, so if you get the right time, it tastes fantastic, but is also an entirely different dish than smoked ribs.

    No, that's not true. We always have salt in the water but the pasta still sticks to the bottom 7 times out of ten. But cooking pasta without salt leeches the salt out of the pasta, so it gets disgustingly bland. Adding salt keeps the salt inside the pasta where it belongs.

    Because people eat more since it tastes better? If it's about energy/cooking time: the salt is usually put in when the water boils, and even if you salt the cold water the additional costs are negligible.

    I never use salt or oil* when boiling pasta. I boil the pasta in abundant amount of water and just sort of move them around a couple of times in the first 2-3 minutes and as long as they are boiling they do not stick. Mind you, you have to mix the sauce in as soon as it is out of the water or in the plate if you don'' t wat it sticking. *the oil and the salt always come from the sauce.

    I agree with the oil, but salting the pasta water makes them taste better than leaving them unsalted (IMO, of course)

    People Are Sharing The Worst "Crimes Against Food" They Can Think Of, Here Are The 35 Best Answers Seasoning the food. It amazes me how many people cook without properly seasoning their food. My wife, when we first started dating, was one of these people. The first time she cooked for me it was chicken breast and it was so bad. It looked like a pale slab sitting on a plate. She has gotten much better now but there are so many people who go through life just raw dogging their own taste buds.

    My wife is romanian, she grew up on Salt, pepper and parsley because that was the extent of her mothers experience with flavor. The most flavorful thing she'd eaten before i came here was Vifon instant ramen. At 25 years old, she wasn't even aware of Garlic powder being a thing. For years, every meal i cooked for her was the "best thing she ever had" simply because it included actual flavor.

    This depends on the quality of the chicken ( or any other meat).. a really good chicken breast from a slow-grown bird is a delight with just salt and pepper. A force-grown, water-filled bird has no flavour and you might as well be eating tofu.

    In my opinion, the best way to cook salmon is rubbed with Old Bay (or teriyaki sauce mixed with plum sauce for sweet and sour salmon) and popped in an air fryer- cooks it perfectly throughout and makes it melt-in-your-mouth flaky on the inside. It's absolutely divine, highly recommend!

    No, it depends on the fish and its source. Norwegian salmon is usually (more) parasite-free that salmon from other waters. In addition to this, many common parasites found in fish are killed by freezing the fish for ~7 days at -4F.

    Applesauce can be amazing on the most surprising things. Pancakes (European style, not American Pancakes (which I like, just not so much with applesauce)) are the obvious. Pretty much anything out of potatoes works well (obviously not when in a casserole!), that includes fries, mashed potatoes,, cooked potatoes and whatever else you can think of. Not yet tried with gnocci - no urge to do so. Applesauce works well on some meats and is excellent with fried liver (which I admit is a taste not everyone agrees with). So... I wouldn't put EVERYTHING with applesauce, but it's nice with unexpected things

    If you buy supermarket chicken, yes. That has no flavour. Organic chicken has a wonderful flavour, although it doesn't look like the bloated white commercial birds. Basically it only needs salt and pepper. Delicious! I was amazed at the difference in flavour the first time I had it. Most commercial chickens are drowned in coatings to disguise the lack of taste.

It's made by cooking long grain rice in milk for close to an hour with a little bit of salt, sugar and butter mixed in. When it's all cooked together then you can add butter, cinnamon and sugar on top and it's REALLY good!

    I don't absorb salt properly so I have to add it to every meal. In one restaurant they didn't have salt on the table and when I asked for some I was told chef wouldn't allow it. Obviously, I never went back but now I make sure I have a few sachets in my handbag - just in case.

    Grandma told me about a cousin of hers who would salt everything to death. She'd salt and salt and salt while cooking, then add more salt at the table. A frequent response to this insane salting was "You'll dry up your liver!"

    I made a Kenji Alt-Lopez lasagna last night. One of the three sauces is like 50 ingredients on its own. Took a good 9 hours of work altogether, between the homemade pasta, the homemade ricotta, etc. Before even taking a bite, Mum asked for pepper. I almost cried.

    Isn't it worse to taste first and then add seasoning? It's like saying, "ugh this tastes bad. Need to season more." I avoid both by eating it just as the cook made it (unless they offer salt/pepper of course).

    People Are Sharing The Worst "Crimes Against Food" They Can Think Of, Here Are The 35 Best Answers I'm a waitress so I've seen it all, and I hardly ever judge. But this one time, I took an order that started out simple: three eggs, soft scramble. Add spinach and goat cheese. Add fresh strawberries. Scrambled. In the eggs. They turned this grey brown color...and you bet the customer ate every bite.

    Yeah, don't do this. Most grape juice in the grocery store has preservatives added to it that literally kill the yeast. You end up with a moldy stinky mess. If you buy the good organic juice you end up with mediocre 8% wine that costs more than just buying a bottle of the real thing. How do I know? 15 years in the beer and wine industry and I've heard every bathtub booze story this side of the Mississippi.

    Preservatives don't kill the yeast, it doesn't allow the yeast to propagate. There are ways to bypass this, depending on the preservative - heat, aeration, a big enough yeast starter. I have made wine from concentrate to whole fruits and everything in between. You absolutely can make wine with just juice and yeast, but good wine needs to take into account ph, tannins, barrel flavor, residual sugar...

    Depends... there are sunk costs in winemaking. The more you make, the lower the cost. I can now make wines that cost $12‐30 dollars at the store for $3‐8 ‐ though there can be a wait time. I have some amarone I made (five years ago) from must that won't be ready for another five years or so.

    There is a time allowance for food to go through the temperature danger zone that maxes at 6 hours (under specific temperature requirements). Though it really depends on the type of food to determine the risk. I was in restaurants for a few decades and a restaurant/food safety consultant for several years.

Whenever she makes chili mac or beef stew she adds some cheese (normal), whole Ritz crackers (still normal) and then a very large dollop of mayonnaise in it. She takes a cracker fills 1/4 of it with mayonnaise and then the rest is the chili mac or stew broth. I thought it was normal but I just didnt like the taste. I made chili mac for my husband after we got married and he thought I lost my mind when I asked him if he wanted mayonnaise on it.
