Hey Pandas, What Is Your Most Controversial Food Opinion? (Closed)

Plain peanut butter just scooped out of the jar is delicious

Not really an opinion, but I just can't consume any meat that is not lean. Any fatty bits, tendons, it's over for me. My gag reflex activates just by looking at it and it's impossible for me to consume it. Literally just writing about this makes me want to puke.

LIVER is disgusting, the smell, the texture, everything about it is horrible. Growing up in a poor family, meat was either turkey or chicken hotdogs or beef liver. You had to clean your plate, so I choked it down, but always felt ill afterwards. To this day, I don't like the texture of pork chops or some steak cuts because it's a foul bite like the spongy liver!

This may bring the hate. But please don’t downvote an opinion that does no harm. While French cooking does great things with combinations of Eurocentric ingredients, none of it has blown me away. The Cajuns, Thai and Vietnamese have won my stomach and my heart.

Peaches in cottage cheese. Or just peaches. Or just cottage cheese. But together...who in the world ever thought "hey let's put fruit in lump dairy"!?! I'm guessing many of you have never had or heard of, but here in the south east of USA, it can be an option for breakfast, lunch or dinner side. The combination of textures and taste are hands-down appalling for me.

For me, it would be that limes are better than lemons.

I can't stand mushrooms. Not necessarily the taste - I can deal with mushroom sauce just fine - but I feel that the textures vary between "feathery" and "the plastic coloured things with jigsaw edges that they put down on playgroup floors that you can smell from ten metres away and inexplicably always have bite marks in them". I do not enjoy these textures in the slightest.

Different brands taste different

Probably that food snobbery (particularly on the internet) seems to do nothing but generate conflict. Particularly when one region / chef claims some kind of divine right over mixing ingredients together to make a dish (paella, I'm looking at you!) or blithers on about people putting pineapple on pizza being 'wrong' (like it's going to stop those of us who love it from doing it). So yeah, that. Love food, don't just use it as an excuse to get into arguments with people :)

Mine would probably be that I absolutely LOVE "plain" cereal. By plain I mean, puffed rice/puffed wheat without any sweeteners at ALL. Everyone says it tastes like bland, dry cardboard but I love the stuff.

Same with rice cakes, I love them but people say it tastes like cardboard (unless you get a flavored kind) and the texture is like styrofoam.

I also love plain tofu if I'm feeling lazy and can't be bothered to properly marinate/sauce it.

Multigrain bread that's more grains/seeds/nuts than "bread" is another love of mine. I lightly toast it in the oven, then crumble it over yogurt and fruit with a drizzle of honey and cinnamon.

I love "savory" oatmeal too. You can season it anyway you like. Butter, onions, garlic, veggies, beans, etc. Can even turn it into a fan fried or oven baked "oat cake" too. Kinda like a cross between a pancake and a latke (potato pancake).

I'm... odd.

Onions! I love the flavor it gives food, but i can't eat raw onions or even ones that are mostly cooked. They gotta be so done that it no longer has a 'crunch' to it.
Also water chestnuts for the same reason

"Boneless wings" are for adults that don't want to admit they like chicken nuggets

I am surprised no one else has said this already ...... pineapple DOES NOT belong on pizza.
No.Nope.Nada.Notgoingtodoit.

I don't like mushrooms. I can stand them when they've been pulverised and made inherent in sauce, for instance, but while they retain some semblance of their physical selves? I can't stand the texture. I feel that it varies from feathery/slimy around the gills to "that plastic foam flooring with jigsaw edges that smells of plastic at ten metres and always inexplicably has a bite taken out of it". I don't enjoy any of these textures.
I also don't enjoy things that "melt in the mouth", unless they actually physically turn into a liquid (chocolate, ice, etc.). My mother likes to tell me that things are lovely because they melt in the mouth and offer me a taste, and I like to politely decline.

I think it is okay to eat meat from animals such as dogs and horses. There is no biological reason not to do that.

Biting string cheese. I know you're supposed to string it but I don't really see the point.

Pineapple is great on pizza. I know I'm going to hell so don't bother telling me.

I do not enjoy eggs. To me they are chicken mucus. 🤢

After the dreaded appointment with the diabetic nurse she now knows that I’m just plain weird and hopeless. I love bread but if you put butter on it or make me a sandwich with it I will not eat it. Dry bread only please. And I have never been able to tolerate set meal times. If I’m not hungry I don’t eat. If I do it makes a reverse appearance! And only raw veggies too. This pickiness has been the cause of many family arguments.

Pineapple on Pizza!
