Let's Dish: What Food Words Absolutely Disgust You?

Yesterday Yum and I got to talking about the word "tater."

Yesterday Yum and I got to talking about the word "tater." While I have nothing against potatoes, tater tots, or the pocket-stuffing scene from Napoleon Dynamite, I can't stand the word "tater." Something about it rubs me the wrong way. Same thing goes for the word yield. I'm not exactly sure what I dislike about it, but I prefer to say "makes" or "serves" instead of "yield" when describing the amount of food a recipe produces. Yes, hating certain food-related words is totally illogical, but I'm not alone — many of you abhor the word moist.

So throw logic to the wind and get it off your chest: what food words drive you crazy?

Do You Use the Word "Moist" to Describe Cakes?

We got into the weirdest conversation here at the Sugar HQ; it was all about the word "moist."

We got into the weirdest conversation here at the Sugar HQ; it was all about the word "moist." Turns out that a lot of people either hate it, or know someone who hates it. I don't have a problem with it, especially because I can't figure how else to describe a perfectly moist cake. How about you guys, what do you think of the word?
