What are your food crimes?

a bunch of nerds decided it was sacrilege for some reason.

it's the only thing I put on a hot dog.

the last time I was in NYC I got a street dog, and I was expecting to get some new york bullshit if I asked for ketchup, but the guy just goes "ketchup?" I go "yup" and that was it.

though he did put more ketchup than j like. I'm a "single line down the middle" kind of of guy, and he basically gave me ketchup with a side of bread and meat, but whatever.

What’s wrong with ketchup on a hot dog?
Ketchup is disgusting! But I know Im in the minority

Mustard only on a hot dog and none of that baby diarrhea yellow stuff, gotta be Gulden's spicy brown mustard for me. No mustard on a hamburger, Ketchup or BBQ sauce please! No mixing ketchup & mustard either. :ew

NYC Pizza made right is fire! You have to travel to Naples, the City that invented and perfected it, to top it. Good Sicilian or Grandma pie, again made right, is yummy deliciousness on a plate, capisce?

Sicilian is still New York pizza and it’s better than deep dish

This 10000% percent. I still dream about that Sicilian style one I had at Joe's Cole. I need to go back and get an entire Sicilian pizza next time. There is not a single place around here that I can get a Sicilian that isn't trash.

I'd love to go back and have Deep dish casserole but Sicilian I think broke me back in August.

But I'm also on team mustard only for hotdogs. Add sauerkraut and that is the ideal dog.

Sir, I'm going to have to ask you where you get this candied version...
Lol I don't know exactly. I was at a lunar new year party and it was available. It could have come from 99 Asian and was bought here, or one of the people who was there could have brought it from China or elsewhere in Asia directly.

Is microwaving M&M's a food crime? Because I always do that to mine.

I've known a few people who microwave their ice cream before eating it. I feel like they don't understand the "ice" part of what they're eating.

I wouldn't call that a crime, but I do have one question

WHY
The only time I’ve put ice cream in the microwave was when it was too firm to even get a spoon in, but even then, it has to be like 8 seconds because I don’t want the ice cream to melt, just be edible faster

I've asked people why they do this when they admit it to me, and it's always some variant of "it's too cold" or "I like it melted". It sounds like drinking flavored creamer to me, ugh.

I feel like liquid chocolate in a hard candy shell would be a common thing if it were easy to make shelf stable and wouldn't turn into a mess when they get squished. It's like a lava cake with candy instead of cake.

I think we have one down here that's relatively close by! The only problem is that I've heard rumors they treat their employees like crap and I don't want to patronize an establishment like that 😕

Sometimes it's just too cold and I don't want to deal with the brain freeze. I also used to have my tongue pierced and the ice cream making the metal bar cold just.. ruined the regular temperature of ice cream for me.

I thought you were being funny so I looked it up... I had no idea you could use that word this way! Interesting
I think technically they're pronounced differently depending on what you intend. Like this one is the noun "patron" being turned into a verb and pronounced "pay-tron-ize" as opposed to what you were probably thinking of with it being pronounced "pat-ron-ize"

At least that's how I've differentiated them over the years.

I think you can use either pay- or pat- in American English. Brits tend to use just pat-.

Wordreference.com is really good for this sort of thing. I use it a lot when teaching. The accent options are great.

Maybe you should use both pronunciations so you can tell the difference between which is bring used like with wound and wound.

I randomly remembered a few interesting things I used to eat as a kid.

First thing was lightly buttered bread with sugar on top of it. No clue what the hell I saw in it. Maybe the sugar.

Second thing was also bread, but I'd put a nice round slice of sandwich meat, usually baloney or ham, then a small mound of shredded cheese before nuking the thing. The cheese would melt, the meat slice cups up nicely, and then you devour it and burn your gums as you bite it.

Yeah! It's was something my kid mind made up that was slightly better than just a regular sandwich. Or toast or whatever.

Also a weird thing I just realized as well. Maybe a cultural thing, but at least me in Finland, we only ever had a single slice of bread whenever making a sandwich. Topping the sandwich with another slice of bread wasn't necessarily weird, but definitely uncommon.

Absolutely understandable, I did the same thing with marmite and cheese all the time, nuked it in the microwave or a quick blast in the oven to broil it, worked wonders and tasted awesome.

I think open face sandwiches are pretty common, but closed-faced definitely seem to be the most prevalent, and what you see most places.
