Not putting the sugar in the crumble

Peas with a roast dinner, eww

15.

A pie requires a pastry base.

A bowl of stew with a fking pastry hat on is not a fking pie.

16.

Never follow the EXACT instructions on a Pot Noodle. (ESPECIALLY re. the fill line.)

Discover your OWN technique for MAXIMUM flavour.

17.

Not toasting crumpets long enough, nothing worse than an anaemic, chewy crumpet.

18.

Not heating the plates before serving up

19.

1) over cooking eggs
2) under seasoning everything
3) cooking the sh*t out of meat
4) not letting anything rest
5) having this desire to eat everything so hot you do the hefhefhefhefhefhefhefhefh sound
6) not using herbs & spice
7) not putting enough care into the little things

Buttering the toast when it’s too hot when you want egg and soldiers. The toast winds up too soft and soggy to be able to dip it properly. Better to wait till the toast is cool so that the butter doesn’t sink in.

They fry chips in fat that is not hot enough – result is greasy pallid chips. Unfortunately 9 out of 10 fish & chip shops do this.

22.

People put vinegar on chips and then add salt, should be other way round…

Pre-heating the oven?
Just get the food in there ‍♂️
