Example, putting ketchup on a perfectly cooked ribeye steak at a nice restaurant.
There are none. With all the bullshit going on now, life is far too short to criticize anyone for their taste in food and food combinations.
Everyone- eat what makes you happy. Find the bliss in the small things. And ignore anyone that thinks you should be ashamed for the things that you enjoy.
Waste.
The only wrong move is to waste it. Do what you want but use everything possible.
If I listen to my french education, then basically everything except the traditional French way of doing things. Thankfully as a well travelled man I’ve learned that others do figure out some nice cooking here and there.
Laughing at any culture because of their food. It’s bad manners. This pairing or method of cooking might be strange to you, but it is someone else’s culture, and they enjoy it. The least you can do is approach their traditions with curiosity.
Cultural relativism is fine. Doesn’t mean talking about things counter to your experience/preference isn’t interesting.
Hot honey on pizza, liquid candy bbq sauce, meat candy generally. Definitely most ketchups. I’m largely against added sugars in most foods that aren’t desserts or otherwise typically include a savory/sweet component (citrus or teriyaki glazed poultry for ex, also Japanese curry is often made with a dollop of honey and I get it but not mine). People’s ‘chili’ recipes with too much honey or brown sugar, it’s chili, it’s kinda supposed to be deeply savory/spicy? Not everything is or has to be a sweet treat, but it feels like nothing is sacred or safe from the candyfication effect that seems increasingly popular. I’d never say anything to anyone making or ordering their sugary product of choice but I do think about it a lot.
I understand your dislike of added sugar though I think it does add some complexity to certain foods. Just FYI, if you ever are in an area and see a food made ‘Amish Style’ it mostly means they added sugar and sometimes other seasonings.
The only place ketchup belongs is in the trash
I hope you don’t like japanese food.
Many of the western style dishes as well as some local ones, use ketchup.

What?
Ketchup/catsup was a fish sauce developed in China. Westerners made the recipe with all sorts of things, like mushrooms.
We didn’t start using tomatoes until like the 1800’s when we figured out that a tomato isn’t poisonous.
Go look at the wikipedia page for ketchup: the first picture is mushroom ketchup.
Why do you think your ketchup bottle specifies “tomato ketchup”?
I think you are thinking of salt, which we used for rotting meat, as salt is derived etymologically from Sol, the name of the sun and the bringer of all life.
Yes, there is salt in tomato ketchup. And then we add more on frenched fries.
But salt would cure meat, because it would destroy harmful bacteria. Ironic, because if you salt the earth, then nothing grows, even though it is named to be the essence of life.
However, you need salt to live: just not the level you get from Burger King fries with ketchup.
Mashed potatoes with ketchup in place of gravy 🤢
Heating day old pizza is to be done on low in a covered skillet - all other methods are objectively inferior.
Edit: Also putting a box of pizza in the fridge, without laying a piece of wax paper, cling wrap, or tin foil over the top of the pizza slices is wrong because it will desiccate without it.
Keep your pizza in an off oven overnight(so the dogs can’t get it). Wake up and eat room temp pizza for breakfast. Be a champion.
Wouldn’t that make it kinda soggy?
I put mine under the broiler till the toppings start to burn.
No, the step the poster forgot to mention is to add a bit of water to the skillet, that crisps up the crust. It works really well.
I do not do it that way anymore since I now have a steam oven. If I didn’t have that then I agree cast-iron skillet is the best way.

add a bit of water to the skillet, that crisps up the crust.
They got a different kind of water on your planet?
Nope, same water as you most likely.
Unless you live in a bubble of otherworldly physics and chemistry it should work for you too.
Bread goes stale because starches crystallize over time, by adding water to the surface and and then exposing it to low heat (300° or less) the starches breakdown and the bread softens. Water boils at 212°, a thin layer of water on the bottom of the skillet will create steam around the top of the pizza slices in a closed cast iron skillet and water absorbed into the crust will break down the starch crystals and then crisp up the bottom crust without burning it while also keeping the top of the pizza from scorching.
The water in the skillet ensures the temps on the bottom of the pizza never gets too high while it is evaporating since the water will maintain 212° at its highest temp until it is fully evaporated.
So as long as you figure out the proper temps/heat level on your stovetop and proper timing so you remove the slices from the skillet during the window of time that the water is fully evaporated but before it starts burning the bottom crust then you should have a perfectly reheated slice of old pizza with a crispy crust and rehydrated crust with gooey cheese on top.

No it doesn’t become soggy and the slightest, in fact the crust becomes even more crispy and delicious.
As the other person said, add enough drops of water to keep it from drying out.
Try it, you will find this could be a superior method! Personally I like to let it sit on very low for like 20 minutes, but everyone’s different
Who’s got that kinda time for reheated leftovers?
You lack the ability/organization to place an object on a stove and set a timer? Hmm.
Eating Surströmming with the skin on.
Like we get it you want to make a reaction video of yourself gagging; everyone has their kinks. Prepare it the correct way and it’s not very different from anchovies and pretty good.

Flour tortillas are a sin
Surprised I haven’t seen pineapple on pizza yet…

What’s wrong with beef curry?
No idea if you’re being sarcastic, but a lot of Indian people (in India, where curry was basically invented) revere cows
And millions of Indian non Hindus and people in neighbouring countries don’t.
Curry is a global cuisine.
It may originate in India, but it has been incorporated into local cuisines all over the world. Most countries in Asia have their own versions of curry at this point. I’d argue that the UK does too, even if they call it “Indian”. Even the concept of curry as a category of food is largely a British invention, and many of the things we’ve been calling curry for more than a hundred years have little relation to Indian food.
Also, India is a large and diverse country. Many Indians don’t eat beef, but there are absolutely whole populations of Indians who eat beef curry regularly.
GP is allowed to think of it as a faux pas. Others can have a different culture as you kindly pointed out.
Perhaps a kinder wording would have been: not everyone considers beef curry as a food crime, since <rest of your comment>
Your comment is quite nicely worded otherwise :)

Putting ice in your glass of wine. I will judge you very harshly.
Meanwhile Germany with Wein-Schorle :p
Ice cubes are not made with sparkling water.
We can arrange that.
And Italy with Prosecco-Aperol spritz.
