People Describe The Biggest 'Crimes Against Food' They've Ever Witnessed

Crimes Against Meat

"People who pick up an expensive bit of steak at the supermarket."

"Take it to the checkout, change their minds, shove it somewhere instead of putting it back so the $20 of meat has to be thrown away immediately. Wasteful."-Thefakeblonde

No Seasons?

"No seasoning at all. My friend is like this. His mashed potatoes are tasteless even though he said he salted them twice. I encouraged him to try more spices and herbs, even have him some examples of what I use."

"Next time he cooked, he said he added extra seasoning 'just for MyFlairIsALie' and it was god awful. He just salted the absolute f**k out of it. Then tried to blame it on me by saying it's what I asked for."-MyFlairIsaLie

Mess Hall

"I was in the Marines so I got to eat a lot of interesting things."

"I'm sure (Most} all service members that have indulged in the delectable MRE known as 'Vegetarian Omlet' aka 'Vomlet' would agree..."

"This menu item is a diabolical creation worthly of an actual crime. Although the side items are decent."-Altruistic-Stable-15

Hello, is this the food police? Yes, I'd like to report that someone put half and half in their Kool-Aid.

That's What Makes The Gravy Grand

"Not sure if it would rise to the level of a crime, but adding certain powdered spices at the very end of cooking, close to when you turn the heat off."

"Most spices need to be added in the beginning to allow them to bloom, get rid of the raw taste and really blend with the other ingredients - this would go for cayenne, cumin, coriander powder etc."-Jasonhopkins99

The Beans Don't Go In The Toaster Too!!!

"When I was a kid in Texas, I had a British teenage babysitter. One day, she set her kitchen on fire trying to make beans on toast. After it was out, we had 3 slices of toast, a ruined toaster, and no idea where the beans went."

"Struggling with finding a way to make an afternoon snack from the wreckage, she opened a jar of peanut butter and made peanut butter on toast."

"Her mother arrived soon after. She took the damage in stride. Didn't flinch. Just hugged her kid. But she gaped in horror and lectured her daughter about the audacity of feeding a child peanut butter toast for tea."

"That she should have asked the neighbors for help rather than serve that. I'm still not sure what is so wrong with peanut butter or why they had it if they hated it so much."-LostDogBoulderUtah

Redditors Recount The Wedding Objections They Witnessed | George Takei’s Oh Myyy

Not The Costco Pot Cooked Prime Rib

"My in-laws got a nice prime rib from Costco, and did something I would consider even worse than making it well done. They cubed it, stuck it in an instapot, and made Beef Bourguignon with it, using no salt or spices."

"They then stuck it over homemade spätzle, also with no seasoning. They went on talking about how amazing it was, while I sat there trying to swallow flavorless mush."-spartankelli

At This Point, Just Burn It

"Overcooked steak. My relative likes his steaks extra well done. I don't know how he even gets it down. SO and I worked really hard to reverse sear some nice steaks for dinner one day."

"Did his well done because we knew he liked it like that. First thing he did was put it in the microwave and dump a bunch of salt on it. I was actually offended."

"I think I asked him why we bothered getting nice steaks (his idea) if all he was going to do was ruin it with a microwave and overcook it to death!"-TiltedNarwhal

Yes, I'd also like to talk to the food ambulance... someone really messed up my simple dish of spaghetti. Can you please fix it?

Way Past Good

"Overcooking literally everything into oblivion. My mother does this and I have to eat it."

"She made chicken the other day that was so good forsakenly dry that I couldn't swallow it without water. It's been cooked so long there's like a tough 'skin' around it."

"Our steak knives won't cut her steak. You have to tear it with your teeth like beef jerky. Everything is like this."-BaconMan420365

Yeah Called It "Grilled Meat"

"Calling something a grilled cheese that has meat on it. I will die on this hill. Mislabeling food is a crime in my opinion."

"If you want to add toppings like tomatoes or lettuce, then have at it. But adding meat to it makes it a melt. A grilled ham and cheese sandwich is a melt and is not a grilled cheese with ham."-SuperVillainPresiden

The Poor Steaks Catch No Breaks

"Ketchup on steak. I had a roommate immediately put ketchup on my steaks I had spent hours marinating in a mixture I had put a lot of thought into."

"He hadn't even tasted it yet. I was so pissed and insulted that seconds earlier I had been expressing my excitement about my bomb marinade, and he still made my steak trailer trash style before he cut into it."

"An argument ensued, with him saying it's no different than ketchup on a burger. Technically, ketchup isn't supposed to go on burgers, and this was a $15 slab of meat, not Hardee's, man!"-SonicBoris

Like we said, human beings can be picky about their food. This goes both ways--are you willing to try something that SOUNDS gross, even if someone else swears it's good?

Perhaps the idea of a "crime against food" is more relative than we initially thought.
