What do you consider culinary sins? - No goyslop sperging

Putting grapes or sultanas in any kind of hot meal makes it inedible but that could just be the tism speaking.
I'm a big fan of reconstituted raisins in roasts. Between kabuli pulao and this thing I made last Christmas I've been converted to the rehydrated raisin meta.
If you hate reconstituted raisins you are a dribbling phillistine and you should stick to steak and a1 sauce.
 
Looking now, there are some refined olive oils that claim 400*+. So that would beat out lard and some other 'common' oils. I'll pick some of it up next time I go to the store and give it a go. Maybe I just have bad memories of trying to use regular olive oil and getting poor results.

I doubt it'll beat out lard in flavor, but could be handy in the kitchen as I'm about to run out of avocado oil.
Refined olive oil is good for frying. Extra virgin and virgin olive oil doesn't cut it.

If you like lard, try duck fat. Especially for potatoes. Fuck I'm hungry.
 
the peanut butter and mayonnaise and jelly sandwich is up there for fucking abominations i have seen with my own eyes
Actually, yeah. This right here. Even minus the mayo. Explain yourselves, burgers. How the fuck can you even eat something like this? Fairy bread sounds less disgusting.
 
I knew a certain someone who just refused to wash his rice, fruit, vegetables, anything. I wasn't fully aware he was this much of a dipshit moron and ate his cooking, once. Big mistake and it made me sick as a dog. To the surprise of NOBODY he was perpetually ill at least once or twice every month (also lolfat)
God that sounds so disgusting. My one great aunt is like that with her mushrooms and leeks, and I'm just. Please. Just doing this simple step will stop your cooking from tasting like dirt. That's all anyone can taste.

Tuna Melt is the other one.
Agreed there. Bagels and Lox is another one I'll give a pass too. Same for fried salmon pasta asciutta.

My tax: People who put their raw meat on the top shelf in the fridge to defrost. I was taught to never ever do that. Otherwise you're getting gross raw meat and defrosting juices all over your fridge.

There's a few that come to mind:
1. Gold leaf on food.
2. Those diabetic milkshakes that have other confections on top of it.
3. Peanut Butter Mayo sandwiches.
I had a friend growing up that would always eat peanut butter, jelly and mayo sandwiches. Absolutely disgusting. Now that I think about it, he'd always be doing weird food hacks like cobes. He grew out of it eventually.
 
Pasta sauce out of a jar. Just buy tinned tomatoes and make your own with fresh ingredients. The jarred shit always tastes like preservatives and AIDS.
I get them because, for some odd reason, any tomato cooked in my house gives me heartburn (a lot of fresh ones do so, too), so no experimenting. I also can not have fancy dried tomatos, or those conserved in own juice :(

So it is ketchup or these sauces, as they taste WAY diffirent from ketchup, atleast in here.
 
Let's talk Jambalaya. I went to a restaurant and saw it was on special. Huge mistake. The restaurant doesn't normally make it, but I figured how bad can it be?

I order it. Five minutes goes by. No food. Okay. Ten minutes goes by. No food. That's not a good sign. Fifteen minutes, no food. Bad sign. They're making this shit to order. For those that don't know, jambalaya is really simple. It's a big pot of rice, meats, seafood, and spices. Restaurants love it because you just make a massive pot of it and serve it in a bowl real quick. If it's being made to order, that's a bad fucking sign.

Finally food comes 20 minutes later and my worst fears are confirmed. Made to order. Now the problem with made to order is first off you're not getting a chocolate rue. Fine. I can live with that, but it's also a sign people don't know what they're doing. It's also a sign they're probably not using a pot to cook it, but rather a pan or skillet. If you're using a pan to cook jambalaya, all different types of things can go wrong. So let's cover the most common mistake.

Chefs are lazy and won't switch pans when cooking a sausage based dish. What a fucking sack of shit. You cannot cook sausage and not clean the pan after. The whole dish will get soggy and you'll have a pool of sausage grease. Change your damn pans. Which this chef did not.

The next cooking sin is that in a pan, jambalaya is easy to over spice and season because you crowd the pan with all kinds of peppers and seasoning. That means it's incredibly easy to over spice. I had a giant inedible mess on my hands. It was way too damn spicy.

Next is because there's so much grease, your shrimp wind up getting soggy. You cannot mix shrimp and grease outside of frying them. The shrimp just absorb and become coated in it.

Finally, when you cook in a pan, it's easy to overcrowd the rice. So you wind up skimping on rice. Jambalaya is a fucking rice dish. You don't skimp on it.

So what we had was a dish with a pool of grease on the bottom, and was too spicy, with no rice to absorb it and shrimp coated in the sausage grisel. Completely inedible garbage from what's considered a 4.8/5 and fairly well known restaurant. I've never sent back food before, but I did this time. I just said fuck it. Let me back in the kitchen and I'll fucking cook it myself.
 
Is this Genghis Khan descended abomination really tryna bad-mouth the peanut butter and jelly sandwich?
Anyone outside burgerland and/or with a BMI below 25 will badmouth it. If I had to make an equivalent using Yurop cuisine it'd probably be Nutella & pâté.

That's fucking foul and I'm mildly insulted that you think meat paste and hazelnut chocolate spread is somehow comparable to fruit jam and legume paste.
 
Using olive oil for cooking. It's smoke point is too low for most cooking, just use some lard or avocado oil for cooking. Use olive oil for finishing your dishes if you want that flavor.
If you reach the smoke point of olive oil sautéing vegetables or making marinara sauce, you might be retarded.

Well-done filet mignon. Had to make this for a customer once, and he complained about how tough it was (no shit). Had to make him another one for free, which he also complained about (no shit). I can tolerate a well-done ribeye or whatever if I have to, but well-done filet is just an abomination.

Baking things in the microwave. Mug cakes are the work of Satan. It's like a cookie with the texture of microwaved canned dog food, but for some insane reason every white woman with an Instagram account thinks they're a delicacy.
 
Vegan Foie gras. Feeling for ducks is honorable but please don't call your vegan mousse foie gras. It's not and doesn't taste the same.
No-gluten bread is a bric shaped horror and you won't convice me that half the population is actually gluten intolerant.
Also mash powders, its bad and pricey. How can someone be so lazy?
 
Blue rare steak. An older relative of mine liked his steak "seared for six seconds on each side." in a ripping hot pan. Salt and pepper for seasoning. That was it. Eugh. At that point just eat the damn steak raw, motherfucker.

I have an uncle who does that with his burgers too. Basically flash fried enough to let it hold it's shape but the inside is practically just eating raw mince. Drives me up a wall. Mostly because I'm here like: "That's how you get botulism!"
