Food abuse that I do not approve of:
1. Use of canned corn as an extender in dishes where it does not belong. Yeah, it's a good little budget stretcher, but is one I've grown overly familiar with. Oh it's okay, in dishes such as "Brunswick Stew", or blended with black beans to give a dish a "southwest" character, but mixed into ham and bean soup, or like a cream of potato soup, just serves to ruin everything.
2. Elbow macaroni added to anything besides macaroni salad or macaroni and cheese. Again it is a budget stretcher that has been over used.
3. Hot dogs added to a composite dish as the primary "meat" component. Fuggin' YYuccck! is all I got to say about that.
4. Under cooked meat. I'm not talking about "a little pink", ...I'm talking about huge slimey slabs of gooey fat hanging to to sides of a slab of ribs, or rivers of fat hiding under the rubbery skin of under cooked chicken. C'mon folks, lets cook that stuff down some, and give the "chemistry" of cooking a chance to work.
