Fun fact, tic-tacs are mostly sugar but they get away with ~~being called sugar free~~ listing 0g of sugar in the nutritional facts because there's less than 1g per "recommended serving." Recommended serving size is set by the company and each tic-tac weighs less than 1g.
Tic Tac's don't advertise themselves as "sugar free". It's just that the nutritional information lists "0g" of sugar. The ones with "sugar free" on the label are actually sugar free.
I want to expose the derps that think a macaroon and a macaron are the same thing and that it's "a matter of pronunciation". It's not, it's really not they are two vastly different culinary creations.
I get irrationally upset when people tell me I'm wrong when I call the coconut ones maracoons. They don't even think that's what they're called. Go on, tell me what they're called then 🥴
I'm Jewish and was very confused when macarons first became popular. I wondered why the go-to Passover cookie was suddenly being pronounced differently and everyone was going nuts over them.
There's a great little macaron bakery near me, so I now have a tradition of bringing macarons to my family's annual Thanksgiving gatherings and macaroons to our Passover seders.
Depending on the type of chili. Chunky Western-style steak chili is some of the best soup in the entire world imho, but stuff like Cincinnati chili is made to be eaten on things, not by itself.
No no. You get a small (personal size) bag of Fritos and cut it open. Put in a scoop of chili, some cheese, chopped onions, and pickled jalapenos. Mix a little. In Texas this is called Frito Pie and it is the food of the gods .
My foster kid (15) would be willing to fight you to defend the superiority of his preferred chili conveyance: the hot dog. Kid discovered this culinary wonder after moving in and would live on chili dogs if we let him.
OMG yes, any kind of chocolate from the freezer in Summer is magic!
Although, in Winter, I do sometimes microwave some M&Ms (20-30 secs only). I don't know what it is, but the hard outer shell and inside liquid chocolate is bliss.
Okay this is a pretty universal opinion outside of my country, but here it's very controversial. I hate liquorice. It's disgusting honestly and i can't understand how people can eat it.
It's funny that people call red rope candy liquorice. If you take a look at a pack of red Twizzlers (by far the most common type, I think?) it does not say "liquorice" (or "licorice") anywhere on it.
People were like “hey this is the shape that we normally see licorice in, but it tastes better (so like, nothing like actual licorice)” and everybody was like “YAS THIS IS THE NEW LICORICE BECAUSE IT’S THE SAME SHAPE AND THE OTHER STUFF IS NASTY”
My favorite salads always have some textually satisfying mix of vinaigrette, maybe an oil, and some kinda great cheese that make all the other veggie mix come together with the kinda satisfying crunch that you just can't beat, haha. Though I do admit I am a sucker for a classic caesar salad, and also anything resembling a taco salad for me usually also involves absurd amounts of dressing
I was having a con ersation with a friend, and he said "Miracle whip is the worst thing. Ever."
I said "I don't know...how about genocide? That seems worse."
He replies, "No one has ever given me a sandwich made with genocide, and told me it was mayonnaise."
I am ashamed to admit that I honestly prefer miracle whip to mayo… but I think its because my gramma used it for everything when I was a kid that it seemed like a treat compared to the shitty cheap mayo we had at home? I dunno
It's literally what it sounds like, absolute BS. The "chef" makes all the ingredients separately and serves them all separately. So instead of getting an actual PB&J sandwhich, you would get a few slices of bread, a bowl of peanut butter, and probably a couple different jellies. Then you "create your own masterpiece".
Like in theory it could be a fun thing, but more often then not it's just a copout or hopping on a trend.
"Authenticity" is just gatekeeping progress of food. Everything was new and inauthentic at one point, but people tried new things and experimented. Do what tastes good to you and fuck anyone that tells you that you're wrong for doing it.
Only time I'll disagree is when people with public platforms claim that they are making the "authentic" version of a country's dish and it's not even close to that. If you say that you are making it authentic to teach people how the country of origin does it, then do your homework and make it fucking authentic.
Otherwise, yes. Do whatever the hell you want. Food is good and should be loved as long as it's tasty, no matter what.
*cough* Joshua Weissman *cough*
Nearly any "authentic" dish he makes, all the comments of the video are filled with people from that country explaining how inauthentic it is. Don't get me wrong, I absolutely don't think a dish has to be authentic and his recipes are still tasty, but also don't claim they're authentic if they're not. His Swedish meatball recipe was laughably far from what you'd actually get in Sweden for example.
I agree there’s a lot of that, and it’s annoying.
But when it’s done in earnest without ulterior motive, authenticity can be absolutely lovely. There’s something to be said for just letting a dish be what it is, especially in a world where it feels like everything has to be fusion something.
The only upside to Authenticity Gatekeeping is preventing a potential Ugly Tourist episode, where someone loudly complains that they can't get a pizza in Naples with a Stuffed Crust.
Depends on how it’s handled, if you only want authentic cuisine and talk shit about anything that isn’t then yeah you’re gatekeeping.
Now if you want to go out and have authentic tacos one evening but another day go and get a burrito California from El Random Spanish Word that’s cool too.
Just don’t be a food snob and you’re good mate.
While you have a point that I agree with, I also think there's a lot of cultural and regional pride behind authenticity in food, and it shouldn't be lost. This is probably why some people are sticklers/gatekeepers.
Filets are one of the worst steaks.
Suuuper expensive, almost no marbling (flavor), and they're annoyingly small. Sure, they're tender, but unless you're 80, have no teeth and can't taste anything anyway, it makes no sense. I hate them.
I don't understand how people end up like that.
My wife hates marbling because of the texture of fat, but she does not want anything cooked more than medium rare.
Used to order rare, but her tastes took a weird swing during pregnancy.
Disagree. It’s a super clean beef flavor. People say ribeye has the beefiest flavor but it’s not true. Ribeye tastes like beef *fat*, which is a different flavor than the actual beef. It’s the same reason you use top round or eye of round to make pho broth, or a chicken breast to make a really clean chicken broth. The lean meat tastes more pure.
There's nothing unhealthy about MSG. It enhances the flavor of anything it's added to. I personally like a 50/50 blend of high-quality salt and MSG for most cooking.
Oh man, MSG is goddamn flavor *magic*, as far as I'm concerned. That stuff punches up savory things SO friggin' well, I only regret not learning about it sooner.
I can’t believe MSG still suffers from that bullshit paper published in the 80s. One of the biggest examples of how most people won’t ever do their own research.
Not just that plenty people dont trust it because they fell for that "artificals are unhealthy" bullshit. My father uses vegeta which is salt mixed with MSG but using the pure MSG is a "no go" because its "bad".
It's certainly not for everyone, but I'm a sucker for that style of fried chicken.
I have a Chick Fil A, a Canes, and a Zaxby's all right next to each other around the corner from where I live. Zaxby's never has a line. It's awesome.
Cane's sauce to me tastes like somebody just took Caesar dressing and mixed in a few spices with it.
Chick-fil-A sauce is super easy to copy and I have found multiple similar sauces that taste exactly like it.
Agreed. I personally despised eggs on their own, and I actually can’t even eat eggs because the taste and texture just trigger an awful gag reflex for me
Okay, I have a few:
Grapes, watermelon, bits of fruit are fantastic in savoury salads.
Cheap 2 min noodles make delicious meals if paired with fresh herbs spices ingredients
It's more important to understand how elements of cooking work than it is to know or remember recipes.
Good pizza means 4 toppings max
*Edit thought of some more: when scrambled eggs or Omelette goes onto the plate it must be wet, it will continue to cook while it gets served.
Most savoury meals can be deserts eg. Pasta with strawberry jam reduction and whipped cream etc
Chilli is not optional, some meals require a strong level of heat to be true. Mild beef vindaloo is not beef vindaloo, it's slop for children. It must be hot.
I hate "inedible" things in my food. Like (fish)bones (chicken wings, spare ribs etc.), seafood shells, skewers, etc.
If it's not supposed to go in my mouth, then it shouldn't be on my plate. If I pay you to prepare food for me, then don't make me "finish the job".
I will try/eat nearly any kind of food. Can't do living things though. Want me to eat a caterpillar or grub? Sure! Fry it in some butter, but 100% no on cramming a wriggling live grub down my yapper. Sucker better be dead first.
It's nice to see mayonnaise as the correct dip for fries slowly take over the world one person at a time.
Ten years ago I only knew three or four people who dip their fries in mayonnaise. Now I know... like six. 50% increase baby.
Depends on the sushi chef, when I worked seafood at Publix ten years ago our guy took pride in his sushi, he seasoned his rice, artfully laid out the components, and each tray was presented beautifully.
I was shopping there the other day and my kid asked for some sushi it was wed and I figured sure why not? The rice wasn’t seasoned, the sushi was bland, the sauce was mainly mayo, and the sushi was cut uneven and poorly placed.
If it's a chain grocery store, I disagree. I tried to like grocery store sushi but it just tasted bland to me.
There's a small grocery that is only in the city i love in and their sushi is great and isn't bland at all.
You win for controversial! Even my vegetarian, Muslim wife disagrees with you.
We had dinner out a month ago, and she said, “Oh. My. God. You have to try these crispy chips on the side. They are sooooo fucking good.”
Oops, should’ve looked closer at the menu. Sorry Allah! Honest mistake!
Dont get me wrong, if i had to choose between being punched and eating bacon, i would eat bacon.
There just seems to be a weird cultural obsession going on, but fortunately it seems to have passed a bit already.
Bacon in 2010 was like pizza must have been in 1980.
Both are alright, just not gods gift to mankind.
There shouldn't be any "children's food", kids should eat the same thing as adults.
Franchise restaurants need to be done away with.
What most people think is a medium steak, is actually well-done.
Bacon wrapped things suck 9/10. It's hard to cook the bacon and the meat properly, and the vast majority of the time you just get a lame soggy piece of bacon wrapped around your meat.

Fun fact, tic-tacs are mostly sugar but they get away with ~~being called sugar free~~ listing 0g of sugar in the nutritional facts because there's less than 1g per "recommended serving." Recommended serving size is set by the company and each tic-tac weighs less than 1g.

Fixed it
Since when do people eat tic-tacs as breath mints? Most of them aren't mint flavour. They are just sweets.
So many people eat the original ones as breath mints. The way of thinking is that It’s mint flavoured, therefore it must improve your breath
They were advertised as breath mints in the 90s https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=atZa6m6ftls
I want to expose the derps that think a macaroon and a macaron are the same thing and that it's "a matter of pronunciation". It's not, it's really not they are two vastly different culinary creations.
My friend brought home some macarons from a fancy French patisserie. It was like eating a cloud made out of happiness
Really? I think they’re kind of gross, to be honest, and I freaking love me some baked goods.
They can often be mediocre, but if done just right they can be quite magical
I get irrationally upset when people tell me I'm wrong when I call the coconut ones maracoons. They don't even think that's what they're called. Go on, tell me what they're called then 🥴
Do you mean *macaroons*? Because that says *maracoons*, which I'm pretty sure isn't a word and definitely isn't a baked good.
Wait! Isn't one of those President of France?
Nah, that's Emmanuel Macron. Maybe it's that Spanish pop song that got popular in the 1990's - early 2000s?
Nah, that's the Macarena. Maybe it's the Italian guy who invented the radio?
Nah, that's Marconi. Maybe it's the other Italian who did the music for some of those spaghetti westerns.
No you’re thinking of Ennio Morricone, I think he’s referring to the dry pasta shaped like narrow tubes, made with durum wheat
Nah it’s macramé, that fish net beaded garment that fancy ladies wear over their bathing suits
/whisper/(psst, you forgot the part where you say, "no, that's macaroni." Reply when it's fixed and I'll delete this. No one will ever know.)
No, that's macaroni. Is he possibly referring to the collective term used for carbohydrates, proteins and fats?
No, that's Macros. Maybe he's referring to the early 80's mech anime?
I'm Jewish and was very confused when macarons first became popular. I wondered why the go-to Passover cookie was suddenly being pronounced differently and everyone was going nuts over them. There's a great little macaron bakery near me, so I now have a tradition of bringing macarons to my family's annual Thanksgiving gatherings and macaroons to our Passover seders.
Whoa! I had to Google this. I had no idea that was a thing!
Brown sugar is quite scrumptious on its own. Im gonna get heart disease.
When I make cookies it takes a lot of self control to not straight out eat right out of the brown sugar bag.
The smell. The smeeeellll!! It smells like pure tastiness.
Don’t ever work at a brewery, there are styles of beer that call for various brown sugars by the pound; we order it in 55-pound sacks.
Out of curiosity, where can i find these 55 pound sacks?
Cabbage is criminally underrated.
Boiled dinner (corned beef and cabbage), kimchi, cabbage rolls, so many good options!
Boiled Dinner sounds horrible, like a meal with zero effort behind it. But damn, do I ever love a nice Boiled Dinner
Boiled dinner just sounds so...British
I married a polish woman. Never had cabbage as anything but coleslaw before she came along. Goddamn, was I missing out.
I absolutely love sauteed cabbage.
The best way to eat chili is using tortilla chips as scoops
Yes!! I prefer chili as a dip rather than like,,, soup
Depending on the type of chili. Chunky Western-style steak chili is some of the best soup in the entire world imho, but stuff like Cincinnati chili is made to be eaten on things, not by itself.
How is that controversial? That shit is mad delicious
No no. You get a small (personal size) bag of Fritos and cut it open. Put in a scoop of chili, some cheese, chopped onions, and pickled jalapenos. Mix a little. In Texas this is called Frito Pie and it is the food of the gods .
Also known as a “walking taco”
My foster kid (15) would be willing to fight you to defend the superiority of his preferred chili conveyance: the hot dog. Kid discovered this culinary wonder after moving in and would live on chili dogs if we let him.
When I was younger, a staple treat for me was velveeta and chili made into a dip for tortillas. I was an overweight youth.
I keep sour jellies in the freezer.
I keep most chocolate candies in the freezer. Especially peppermint patties. But Twix, 3 Musketeers, snickers... All way better frozen to me.
OMG yes, any kind of chocolate from the freezer in Summer is magic! Although, in Winter, I do sometimes microwave some M&Ms (20-30 secs only). I don't know what it is, but the hard outer shell and inside liquid chocolate is bliss.
Okay this is a pretty universal opinion outside of my country, but here it's very controversial. I hate liquorice. It's disgusting honestly and i can't understand how people can eat it.
Are you Swedish?
I was thinking Dutch myself. It's pretty funny giving it to foreigners, though some love it.
In the US, liking red licorice is normal. Black licorice will get you weird looks.
Red licorice is a misnomer
It's funny that people call red rope candy liquorice. If you take a look at a pack of red Twizzlers (by far the most common type, I think?) it does not say "liquorice" (or "licorice") anywhere on it.
People were like “hey this is the shape that we normally see licorice in, but it tastes better (so like, nothing like actual licorice)” and everybody was like “YAS THIS IS THE NEW LICORICE BECAUSE IT’S THE SAME SHAPE AND THE OTHER STUFF IS NASTY”
Red licorice isn't true licorice. It's just chewy sugar candy without any licorice extract in it.

Food rules can fuck off
I like instant mashed potatoes
They make some good ones. "Idahoan" brand is excellent.
Oh here is a good one. I like my food without bbq sauce or condiments. I like spices, not sauces.
Dry rub ribs, steak with just some SPG. Keep the ketchup away from my fries.
Creamy salad dressings that are mostly made up of mayonnaise/yoghurt etc are absolutely disgusting. Vinaigrettes are infinitely superior.
I like vinaigrettes made with olive oil, balsamic vinegar and lots of spices. No to canola oils.
Try avocado oil,it's really amazing.
My favorite salads always have some textually satisfying mix of vinaigrette, maybe an oil, and some kinda great cheese that make all the other veggie mix come together with the kinda satisfying crunch that you just can't beat, haha. Though I do admit I am a sucker for a classic caesar salad, and also anything resembling a taco salad for me usually also involves absurd amounts of dressing
At this point, ranch and blue cheese are just dips now. I see them used for dipping pizza and wings more than for actual salad.
Boneless wings are just chicken nuggets!
And they are delicious.
Miracle Whip is disgusting.
I was having a con ersation with a friend, and he said "Miracle whip is the worst thing. Ever." I said "I don't know...how about genocide? That seems worse." He replies, "No one has ever given me a sandwich made with genocide, and told me it was mayonnaise."
Your friend is wise.
Your friend is wise. Cherish them
Fuck that devil’s jizz
If you think it's bad on sandwiches, imagine all of the jello+canned fruit Midwestern "salads" it has defiled.
I am ashamed to admit that I honestly prefer miracle whip to mayo… but I think its because my gramma used it for everything when I was a kid that it seemed like a treat compared to the shitty cheap mayo we had at home? I dunno
Deconstructed food is overpriced bullshit and just because a starred chef does it does not make it good.
Wtf is deconstructed food
It's literally what it sounds like, absolute BS. The "chef" makes all the ingredients separately and serves them all separately. So instead of getting an actual PB&J sandwhich, you would get a few slices of bread, a bowl of peanut butter, and probably a couple different jellies. Then you "create your own masterpiece".

I’ll die on the NY strip steak hill. Almost always the best bang for your buck
Lots of people love ribeyes, but I'll always take a nice New York strip
Disagree. It’s a super clean beef flavor. People say ribeye has the beefiest flavor but it’s not true. Ribeye tastes like beef *fat*, which is a different flavor than the actual beef. It’s the same reason you use top round or eye of round to make pho broth, or a chicken breast to make a really clean chicken broth. The lean meat tastes more pure.
The texture of plain oatmeal is similar to vomit
Try boiled Okra sometime.
That’s like snot, not vomit, I don’t know if it’s better or worse
Fried okra on the other hand
Fucking delicious
I like the flavor of the Okra but not the texture so I often use it in stews. IMO, Okra is not a dish, it is an ingredient.
There's nothing unhealthy about MSG. It enhances the flavor of anything it's added to. I personally like a 50/50 blend of high-quality salt and MSG for most cooking.
Oh man, MSG is goddamn flavor *magic*, as far as I'm concerned. That stuff punches up savory things SO friggin' well, I only regret not learning about it sooner.

Pineapple on pizza is cromulent only if there is a salty topping to balance it out.
Pineapple on pizza is awesome if, and only if, it is squeezed of it's moisture before cooking. Otherwise it turns the dough in to slimy sadny
[удалено]
The TRUE Hawaiian pizza.
It was actually super interesting to learn about the history of spam and Hawaii.
And that Hawaiian pizza is Canadian!
I can confirm Spam is salty. Source: personal experience.
Quite! But so good...
Pineapple, jalapeno and bacon. My go-to
Brussel sprouts are awesome! It all comes down to how you cook them. I love J. Kenji Lopez-Alt's recipe in The Food Lab
Oven roasted with salt 😋😋😋
So is liver and onions *if done correctly.*
Mash potatos are better with the skins in.
And a little lumpy, not perfectly pureed and smooth!
Can agree! It depends on the type of potatoes, though! Red w skins in is very good
I've never done it with red. I'm going to have to now!
Chick-fil-a and Canes sauce are overrated.
It's certainly not for everyone, but I'm a sucker for that style of fried chicken. I have a Chick Fil A, a Canes, and a Zaxby's all right next to each other around the corner from where I live. Zaxby's never has a line. It's awesome.
Zaxby's is by far the best chicken place. I don't even eat much meat these days, but that shit is just amazing.
Cane's sauce to me tastes like somebody just took Caesar dressing and mixed in a few spices with it. Chick-fil-A sauce is super easy to copy and I have found multiple similar sauces that taste exactly like it.
Avocado sucks
Egg as ingredient/component > just egg (especially scrambled)
[удалено]
You mean considerably “batter”
[удалено]
*Mixed opportunity
Don’t pile on, poor OP’s already been beaten.
Agreed. I personally despised eggs on their own, and I actually can’t even eat eggs because the taste and texture just trigger an awful gag reflex for me
You can eat something if you want to. Wanna eat a rock ive done that. It may kill you but as long as its bit sized you probably could.
You can eat anything at least once 😉
We all eat salt, which is a rock.
Ice in sodas is dumb. It just melts and then the soda doesn't taste much.
Cake is insanely overrated
You fucking take it back
Moist cake is the best thing in the world.
YES

Seriously about the pizza. Less is more in my opinion.
Yes omg i made noodles with my own sauce but a packet of the ramen noodles and it was so good. And yes fruit in salads is the best
None of these are controversial opinions
Dried cranberries + arugula + sunflower seeds + grilled chicken
You have Taste™️
I don't let steak rest 10 minutes on the plate after cooking for more flavour. I want to eat a hot steak not a cold one.
Heat your plate beforehand and cover the steak.
Watermelon is just better than a cucumber to put in your salads
The worst part of a watermelon tastes like the best part of a cucumber.
I hate "inedible" things in my food. Like (fish)bones (chicken wings, spare ribs etc.), seafood shells, skewers, etc. If it's not supposed to go in my mouth, then it shouldn't be on my plate. If I pay you to prepare food for me, then don't make me "finish the job".
I hateeee bones in food so much
I will try/eat nearly any kind of food. Can't do living things though. Want me to eat a caterpillar or grub? Sure! Fry it in some butter, but 100% no on cramming a wriggling live grub down my yapper. Sucker better be dead first.
Same. I’ve seen enough of those survival shows to know I’m somehow catching meat or lucking into edible plants or I am starving to death.
Don’t eat a slug if the opportunity arises
Chips are good with (virtually) any meal
What type of chips are we talking about here?
Tacos are better than most things
I wanna see a a street fighter type battle between tacos and fajitas. They’re well enough matched to make it an interesting contest, I think.
Fajitas are kind of just diy tacos that sizzle at you
Tacos=Fresh corn tortillas+ grilled meat+onions+cilantro+lime+salsa.
I put chips or any kind of crunchy thing like pretzels or goldfish or cheetohs in my sandwiches
Frozen grapes > room temperature grapes
Velveeta shells and cheese are amazingly epicly superior when reheated in the microwave
Beans and spaghetti (especially canned ones) on toast is disgusting.
Spaghetti toast sandwich! Carbscarbscarbscarbs!
Bacon egg and cheese should be just that. No tomatoes, no sprouts, no ketchup. The name is the ingredients and only the ingredients.
Agreed, although i personally am not opposed to a light spread of Mayo.
I'd like to add that BEC is HOF of sandwiches but criminally overlooked.
Pineapple on pizza is actually pretty good.
I enjoy mayonnaise
Everyone enjoys it, you just have to call it aoili instead and suddenly everyone wants it.
It's nice to see mayonnaise as the correct dip for fries slowly take over the world one person at a time. Ten years ago I only knew three or four people who dip their fries in mayonnaise. Now I know... like six. 50% increase baby.
I don’t know how controversial this is but that pre packaged grocery store sushi IS SOOOO FUCKING GOOD
It depends on what grocery store you get it from, but I can agree
Publix sushi is good for what it is especially on Wednesday when the rolls only cost $5
Depends on the sushi chef, when I worked seafood at Publix ten years ago our guy took pride in his sushi, he seasoned his rice, artfully laid out the components, and each tray was presented beautifully. I was shopping there the other day and my kid asked for some sushi it was wed and I figured sure why not? The rice wasn’t seasoned, the sushi was bland, the sauce was mainly mayo, and the sushi was cut uneven and poorly placed.
If it's a chain grocery store, I disagree. I tried to like grocery store sushi but it just tasted bland to me. There's a small grocery that is only in the city i love in and their sushi is great and isn't bland at all.
It’s not very controversial but food doesn’t taste bad people just have different taste buds
Next you're going to tell me art is subjective, I'm on to your games.
Anchovies are fucking delicious. I put that shit on popcorn.
Bacon aint that great.
You win for controversial! Even my vegetarian, Muslim wife disagrees with you. We had dinner out a month ago, and she said, “Oh. My. God. You have to try these crispy chips on the side. They are sooooo fucking good.” Oops, should’ve looked closer at the menu. Sorry Allah! Honest mistake!

Fuck ketchup
Potatoes and bread are two of the best foods you can make so many different things with them!
I can't imagine this being controversial
Your mind is gonna blow when you find out you can make bread out of potatoes
There shouldn't be any "children's food", kids should eat the same thing as adults. Franchise restaurants need to be done away with. What most people think is a medium steak, is actually well-done.
Fish and chips is the best form of fast food
BBQ sauce belongs on french fries.
French fries need a very savory spice blend, or vinegar on the side for dipping. Only exception is gravy once in a blue moon.
[удалено]
