What do you consider culinary sins? - No goyslop sperging

Putting hot sauce on your food before you even tasted it. While there are dishes that are exempt from this sin (burgers, fries, hot dogs, tacos), I have zero issue if people add stuff like that after they taste it as a simple personal addition. But if the first thing you reach for is a bottle of hot sauce instead of a fork/spoon/the food, then you deserve to be curbstomped.

A minor one: putting the pepperoni under the cheese on a pepperoni pizza. A local chain where I live does that and my family mocks me for complaining about it. "It all goes to the same place anyway" they say. I'm too polite to ask them if they're stupid or just lack taste buds. It defeats the point of having pepperoni if you're just going to cover it, it's not as crisp!

It's fine if it's the lower layer of pepperoni on a double-decker pizza. I find having a top layer of crisp pepperoni and a bottom layer of soft pepperoni sandwiched between two layers of cheese to be a rather fascinating combination.
 
The microwave itself is half of a sin. I would never, EVER use it to cook food as opposed to just reheating leftovers.

You can use a microwave for a fair amount of tasks without it affecting the quality of the food, but know what it's good at and how to do it is important . You can cook starchy vegetables that take a long time to cook fairly quickly i.e. potatoes, corn, beet roots and other root vegetables. Shallow fry some small items for a quick garnish or yes even cook rice and pretty well too.

This video from America's Test Kitchen is pretty good.

 
California Rolls.

I absolutely hate California Rolls. It’s not real sushi and mfs be putting avocado on that shit.

Avocado belongs on tortillas and other shit, not on vinegar rice.

Avocado is a common ingredient in many sushi rolls, not just California rolls. Just because you think one type of sandwich sucks doesn't make it not a sandwich.

Some California rolls use chunks of imitation crab and some use a nice crab salad. The crab salad ones are awesome, but California roll is my favorite sushi and I like most that I've come across. It's not that I'm against raw fish. Also acidity goes very well with avocado. Avocado and lemon juice, avocado and hot sauce...

I had never heard of it either until I was on holidays with a friend having breakfast and after drizzling a little bit of oil on our toasts she went for the sugar and I went for the salt. And she looked at me like I was the crazy one, too:'(

do tell us if it’s yummy when you try it. I thought it was pretty good, but not good enough to switch sides lol.

also talking about actual culinary sins, can any krauts tell me why this anime Soylent degeneracy is being sold on your supermarkets:( seriously what the fuck

They are trying to market aggresively soy drinks. Germany and many other western countries plagued by SJW/leftist bureaucrats try to push alternatives to meat and milk for "sustainability" reasons. They obviously failed and they try to promote these instead of Soylent that is ridiculed by almost everyone (including leftists that are against veganism/anti meat).

They're doing this in actual cooking textbooks as well.
Revisions in the 10th edition include using modern plant-forward ingredients, in line with the [Culinary Institute of America] and Harvard's Menus of Change initiative, highlighting that vegetables can also be the star at the center of the plate. The authors merged meat and vegetable cookery chapters, and updated some recipes to feature plant-based ingredients, all revised in the CIA's own test kitchen.
 
Ton of "light" sources of fat are just adding water and diluting it all.
Also you need emulsifiers to mix them so more added stuff.
 
I hate extra/incorrect shit on gyros. I'm American, but any gyro I've gotten from a Greek-run establishment has tomatoes, onion, and tzatziki, and that's it. That's all it needs. Even lettuce is a shitty addition.

Atrocities I have witnessed in restaurants: creamy Italian instead of tzatziki. Chunks of cucumber. Offering to add American cheese. Another place offered to add Sriracha.

In general, I hate weird/ignorant food mashups or additions. Retarded, blown-out taste buds, "who cares about flavor, really?" combos. Like "shaky cheese" parmesan on swedish meatballs. Ranch on ramen noodles.

Ooooo, my favorite kind of thread

Making Soup with water as the base and not broth, and no, not making a broth first. I do not want to talk about how I experienced this

Natto was my gf's family's idea of "fuck with the white guy" but I remain staunchly convinced natto is another war crime.

Adding enough capsaicin to ruin the flavor of a dish. (As in, absurd, basically distilled capsaicin tier hot sauce added to a shared dish.) It does not shore up your flagging virility. It does not make you exotic or cultured. It just ruins the food and leaves everyone hungry.

Adding too much cooking fat, be it oil, butter or what the fuck ever else to the pan before trying to cook something.

Using canned, not fresh, vegetables in soup.
