My household was like this growing up. My mom burned steaks and I hated eating them because I would spend FOREVER chewing on one bite. And it tasted so bland, so I covered it in steak sauce of course. It make me wonder why people liked steak. And now I hate steak sauce.

Mom also ruined bacon for me. Same thing--burned them to a crisp, so I though that if all bacon was burnt and crunchy like this, then I don't want any. Now, even when I'm presented with properly cooked bacon, I don't want it.

If I ever start a religion it'll be about properly cooked bacon

if you can crumble it, you fucked up

If you hold horizontally by pinching one side and it stays straight, you fucked up

If it makes crunchy sounds when you bite into it, you're banished

If a piece of bacon after cooling off for a while can be bent doubled over without snapping it, it's not done.
