Putting anything directly on top of fries instead of dipping each individual fry. Makes them soggy as hell and really messy.

GAF, what do you consider to be a food crime?

I will find any person eating an untoasted toast sandwich with cold cuts/cheese/whatever utterly disgusting, I could gag just thinking about it. Only with toast though, regular bread of course doesn't need to be toasted.
I remember my sister was once invited to eat spaghetti bolognese at her friend's place, she got plain spaghetti with ketchup on top, she said she ate it to be polite, I couldn't have.

while I prefer mostly-runny eggs and rare steak I don't understand why people get huffy about those things. If I accidentally overcook steak/eggs it's still good. And ketchup has its place.
If you want to talk food crimes you should see my roommates. I've seen them leave out a pizza box on the counter and just slowly eat it over the course of a week. Sushi in the fridge for days. I'm pretty sure they've got stuff in the back of the fridge that's been there since before I moved in. I generally don't care what weird shit other people eat but for fuck's sake don't waste food.
Although I had a friend in college who would make peanut butter, jelly, pickle, mayo and mustard sandwiches. There's just so much wrong there.

I just want places to stop putting apples in and on everything.
American cheese is perfect for a simple burger.

Ketchup on Hotdogs (Fucked up colors)
Mayonaise on pizza (Albanian Americans and Eastern European Americans I'm looking at you here)
I'm with you there... Except for American Chop Suey, where ketchup for some reason is awesome.

Deep fried Mars bar, it's disgusting and ridiculously bad for you.
Unfortunately it's a Scottish stereotype so most ask if I have tried it, the answer is no and I have no wish to try it.

I get what you mean, but I'd feel weird dipping the fries in vinegar rather than putting it on top.
Ordering steak well done bothers me, but whatever. Get whatever you want.
It's not really a food crime in terms of preparation, but excessive waste of food pisses me off. Like ordering a plate of sushi, eating two pieces and then throwing out the rest. Not even packing it up for later.
What the fuck, dude?

Pineapple on pizza. Chicago style pizza. Can't decide which one is worse.
american cheese is great for burgers. ideal, even.
unless you mean kraft singles specifically, in which case you're correct. that shit's nasty.

People putting sriracha, or hot sauce in general, on everything.
People who frown upon well done steak, but don't realize you can have a well done steak not taste like complete shit.

As someone who has lived near NYC my entire life, I have no problem with Chicago-style Pizza in theory. It just isn't what I really think of/crave when I actually want pizza. It's sort of an entirely different beast in the same food family.
If you haven't tried it, how do you know it's disgusting?
Came here to say the same. It's not just taste being subjective, but it's literally what people choose to consume and put into their bodies. That's a step further than other subjective things.
That being said:
-I view eggs as 'ingredient' food and not a complete food item. They're disgusting and make me want to hurl. They need to be in something and not the actual thing. Watching people eat omelettes or scrambled eggs is like watching someone eat straight mayo.
-Cream + Fruit combos are an abomination
Not gonna tell others they shouldn't eat their stuff like that, but don't force it onto me.
How About No

My stepdad insists on sprinkling salt on fruit like apples or watermelon. He offers and I just reel in disgust.
Those poor folk are just trying to survive man
Good watermelon is great as it is. And no thanks I've tried it.

Yogurt spelled yoghurt. With that H, i just can't eat it. It grosses me out. I don't know why. I know it's stupid, but I can't help it.
lol
+...whatever number. Mayo is fucking disgusting. Yet it's also the only thing I won't eat. Er, out of the things that are normally found. I won't eat shit like a century egg ever.

You need to listen to the man. Lightly salted watermelon is amazing.
Extra Sauce

Dunking lovingly, meticulously prepared sushi into soy sauce. From sophisticated construction of flavors and textures to wet & salty bite.
Have you ever tried a microwaved Mars bar? It's a habit I picked up from the Scottish side of my family, and it's delicious.
Put it on a small plate, nuke it for ~30 seconds (And watch it while you do, it's cool) and eat it with a spoon.
Eat it VERY CAREFULLY with a spoon, it's hot as balls.

American produce that attempts to look like something from a cartoon in order to be appealing.
Deconstituting potatoes into powder and reconstituting them into uniformly shaped fries.
Artificially shaping rice grains.
Stop engineering everything, America.

People who are so bothered by pineapple on pizza. I can't tell if they are serious or just following the trend.

So if two items are actually identical but have different spelling on the label you will think the one with an H is gross?

Looks perfectly fine to me. My sandwiches are without butter/margarine though.
Anyway, here are some things I consider a food "crime":
- Sugar in coffee/tea
- Ketchup
- Liverwurst
- Head cheese/brawn

What don't you understand? I'm Austrian, not British
I don't understand the difference between the bread used in a "toast sandwich" versus "regular bread" and why the former would be gross un-toasted

Good one. A too-cold RIS might as well be anything, although I really love a just-above-freezing IPA.
What don't you understand? I'm Austrian, not British
I've always considered "toast" to be any type of bread that has been toasted. Is that not a universal thing?

That's because it's not pizza, it's a casserole.
I used to hate mayo until I discovered a couple places around me that have chipotle mayo which is amazing. I am pretty much doing the Undercover Brother solution to eating mayo, but eh.

I had a century egg a few weeks ago in some congee. It was ok. Nothing I'd ever eat again but it wasn't disgusting or anything.

Well done steak is trash.
Depends on how much you use. A little squiggle won't exactly over power anything, not any more than any other sauce/condiment. That said, I'm not exactly a huge fan of ketchup (or tomato sauce as we call it here) either.
Disclaimer: I'm Australian, so it could be that our tomato sauce isn't as excessively sugary as American ketchup and my observation isn't as relevant for you guys.

Nothing wrong with catering to one of your primary demographics.
Do you have any examples of these two? "Shaped rice grains" gives no significant results on google.

I eat ketchup on my Macaroni and Cheese. The people who don't are the monsters.
What you did there, I see it.
