Unpopular opinions about food

[exball]

I like to make cheese from bacterial cultures obtained from the inside of my belly button.

This man is self sufficient.

It's an unpopular opinion that I don't share but my mom hates Oreo cookies. She isn't too impressed by cheeses either.

I tried a tofu dish once and I don't think tofu is the anti-Christ. It's not going to replace meat for me anytime soon but some people should calm the fuck down.

If I'm at home and eating salad, I don't eat salad dressing. When I go out to eat and there's a salad bar, its all the thousand island.

I enjoy my steak well done with lots of ketchup on top.

I am sorry, I'm just not a big fan of red meat.

Also I prefer sandwiches without butter/margarine, butter on its own is fine on toast though (Margarine just tastes of artificial chemicals to me).

I love miso soup. If I knew where to find fresh seaweed and miso paste I'd make it at home.

I like A1 on my eggs, no matter how they're cooked. Although my favorite way to cook eggs is over-easy, so I can soak hash browns in the yolk.

Here's a story I've been kinda itching to post lately (oh boy, here we go again ). Since it has to do with food, and what we like or don't like, it may as well be placed here.

Spoiler: Autistic story, don't read if not interested

So it was the summer of 2012, this was during my first year with the resort, and I'm still working nights because I lived on the small island. Well, its now past 9:30, time to wrap things up but sometimes we want to have a staff meal. Well, even though the past few nights, the restaurant did have New York Strip (my favorite beef cut) under Specials, it didn't this night. Well, I figured since I just wanted beef anyway, I'll go ahead and order a Filet Mignon which was a menu standard. I went ahead and did this because it wasn't the first time I ever ate a Filet Mignon. So I get my Filet Mignon, I'm starving to death and I take one bite, and…

I swear I literally, with my ears, heard something go *FWOOOOSH* inside my mouth, and what felt like a big, gigantic, thick gas ball from Jupiter's core all into my gums and teeth. I was swearing to GOD I was only imagining this, and that there was nothing about my food that was actually making me uncomfortable. But still… I ate a second bite, and it was the same thing and this time, I was trying to figure out what this was. It was some freaking weird, bizarre combination of Garlic, Steak Sauce, Balsamic (oh God, the Balsamic was the worst part), Mushrooms, and some sort of "mist" in my mouth. So I take a third bite, and its still there! At this point, my Chef has just walked out of the kitchen, and he is seeing the strange faces I am making just across the bar from him. "… Ryan?? Are you alright?" he asks with a curios smile on his face.
"Alright, I am CERTAIN that there is nothing wrong with this, but…" I say. "I dunno, its like marinated too much! Its creating some sort of mist in my mouth!" I say likely, using some wussy pussy tone. and then my Chef just bursts into laughter and goes back to the kitchen and I quickly follow him to find him asking one of his cooks "Have you ever heard someone complain that their steak was marinated too much?"

At this point, I definitely don't want to eat anymore, and one of the bartenders has found out about all this, and he is like "Hey, don't throw it away! I'll eat it!" and he grabs a knife and fork and worfs down his free Filet Mignon right in front of me. This incident was kinda legendary during the next half a year. I frankly wasn't even embarrassed by it. It happened when we were closing and I didn't even make a scene. My chef went on to tell out loud, during a time we reminisced about it "You're going to be in a lot of trouble once you DO get a woman." which honestly did make me feel real but hey, life goes on, I'm still happy.

My sister found out about it, and any time its brought up, she goes "It was Retarded!" She says if there was anyway to describe what happened, it was not "A Mist" and all the other coworkers told me, in Bahamian accent "All the juices squirt in your mouth" but in all honesty, it was a terrible Balsamic mixture and I had trouble running out platers of steaks for the rest of the summer.

Yes, this was autistic, but hey, sometimes I gotta get things off my mind.

Bacon is overrated.

 

[Queen of Tarts]

I cannot eat a steak rare. Tell me all the flavor is cooked out, I don't give two hot floppy fucks, burn that shit if you have to.

 

[Wall of Originals]

I...I love McChicken sandwiches from McDonalds. I feel I have to go to confession booth now.

I'm allergic to shrimp, so it's a no-no for me. (I'm a former smoker JSYK for this story.) I like coffee but the other day I had to drop off my car for repairs at the auto shop. There was a Kreiug coffee machine there and thought, "Hey! Free coffee! I haven't had any in a week or so!" So I made a cup and added some creamer; not a huge fan of a crapton of sugar and sweetness. And when I took a sip after it cooled down it tasted like the burnt end of a cigarette. I had to throw it out, it was going to make me sick. Forgive me Jesus for throwing out coffee.

I hate raw tomatoes unless they're in salsa. Mostly the texture
I love pimento cheese for some reason. Not the cheap stuff, but homemade or a decent quality.
I hate oysters and any form of fish egg. Other than that, I love seafood of all kinds.

Anchovies are delicious.

Anchovies are delicious.

I tried these dried anchovy snacks some time ago. I don't get the hate around them.

Chicken and Curry can't eat them, I trained as a gamekeeper and a part time summer job I had my first year was in a chicken farm *shudder* and Curry because it looks, smell's and tastes like the contents of a used nappy.

 

[TrippinKahlua]

Curry Chicken is popular in the Bahamas, but I hate it. In fact, a lot of Bahamian Delicacies like Stew Fish, Boil Fish, Peas n Rice, I dislike so much of it.

Conch Salad, however, is damn good.

 

[Arkangel]

I prefer fish sandwiches over chicken sandwiches.

 

[ASoulMan]

I find pork rinds to be pretty tasty if they're seasoned, but cracklings on the other hand are an acquired taste.

Sure, they're heaven if you get a fatty piece, but anything else then it feels like you're going to break your teeth by chewing on them. Not to mention they taste like dog food.

Also, I too enjoy anchovies. Especially on a pizza. Speaking of pizza, I like to make crazy topping combinations whenever I order some. My family hates when I order pizza because of this. LOL

Mayonnaise is a disgusting pox upon humanity and should be made illegal.

We have a large Afro Carribian community in my City and I have a few really good friends in it. And you know what I have tried to like the main meals like Manish Water, Goat Curry etc and I just can't and I really have tried.
However, I do like Plantain chips and a few other snacks an desert foods.

I find pork rinds to be pretty tasty if they're seasoned, but cracklings on the other hand are an acquired taste.

Are we talking stuff sold in packs and hot counters in places like Morrisons because I can say that is not Crackling, half the time it's not even shaved.
