Unpopular opinions about food

-Ketchup is literally the worst thing known to mankind. It's repulsive, and it's proof that Satan exists. It offends all of my senses.

I fucking hate ketchup. I think it's incredibly overrated. If I need to dip french fries or anything else in something, there are so many more flavourful options out there compared to ketchup.

Gochujang is the better Asian hot sauce. Sriracha doesn't have as rich of a flavor. Those sriracha combos are pretty good, though.

I like Miracle Whip. Grew up eating it, so that might be why. Actual mayo is pretty much a treat to me.

I've always hated really sugary cereal, even when I was a kid. All of my favorite cereals have always been the ones that "old people" eat.

Sugary cereal is absolute trash in every way but the smell. It's made of the cheapest shit that gets covered up with cheap sugar and cheap food dye, makes the guts feel sick, makes you tired, etc. The popularity of soda and chips also baffles the hell out of me.

Peanut butter & nutella is better than peanut butter & jelly.

I think my overall favourite cereal as a kid was Weetabix, which I suppose is on the "healthy" side, however General Mills' Rocky Road was the greatest of the candy cereals since the chocolate-covered marshmallows came in a foil-lined white bag within the main bag if I remember correctly for extra freshness. Either that or the main bag was foil-lined and resealable. One of those.

Spoiler: Rocky Road Cereal commercial from circa 1986.

Not really an addendum since I haven't actually posted this yet as of this writing but I watched a couple of decades-stale cereal unboxing videos featuring Rocky Road and the cereal is in the usual wax paper bag. It could be that Rocky Road came in more elaborate inner packaging here in Canada compared to what's seen in those videos which I presume is the American packaging or perhaps I'm conflating it with the inner packaging for Pac-Man cereal,

ADDENDUM: If it wasn't Rocky Road or Pac-Man cereal, it may have been S'mores Crunch. I know Canada didn't get a lot of the sugary cereals that 1980s Canadian kids would see ads for on Saturday morning cartoons and afterschool syndicated toy commercial cartoons that aired on stations just across the American border but I think we got S'mores Crunch up here. On a tangent, I think Pac-Man cereal lasted until the mid-1990s in Canada, longer than it lasted in the United States.

Nutella is just chocolate spread for manchildren. Might as well just eat a handful of candy bars for breakfast.

Scrambled eggs and diced red peppers go well together

Tomatoes are vile weeds.

I'm not fond of marine molluscs, cephalopods, or crustaceans when it comes to seafood!

In general, cake frosting is gross. Most of the time it's way too sweet.
However, this is mainly for cakes and stuff you would buy. Most recipes you would actually make are fine.

 

[CrystalRoserade]

Places like Walmart put an ungodly amount of frosting on their cupcakes. I strongly prefer cupcakes with a somewhat thin layer of frosting on them. Like you would put on a cookie.

Agreed. I'm not wild on frosting pretty much ever but most places glob it on like they're afraid you'll taste the actual baked good they're selling to you. The cheap frosting especially is disgusting.

Nutella is horrible.

Frosting that is just frothed up sugar water is trash. Buttercream and cream cheese based frostings are delicious, though, and often better than what they're on.

The best hot sauce of them all is good old Tabasco.

All fruit apart from citrus is mushy, seedy, or just generally texturally revolting. Bananas are the worst offenders of them all.

Marshmallow fluff eaten with a spoon from the jar is awesome.

Chicken is disgusting, no matter how it's prepared.

Zucchini might be the most perfect vegetable.

Tahini on toast with sliced tomato is utterly delicious.

Burger King cheeseburgers are tasty--fake "flame broiled" flavouring or not.

 

[Agoodpotroast]

You can't claim to love sushi if you only buy rolls with cooked fish covered in sauce.

 

[CHARizard]

Ritz crackers and mustard sardines is one of my favorite snacks. Also anchovies, they are great on pizza and I love adding them to pasta.

 

[AGreatDipAtAFairPrice]

Onions are weird and gross. The default should not be food having shitty onions on it so that I have to request no onions, then people fucking it up and either keeping the onions on, or God forbid, thinking I said EXTRA ONIONS as they ruin whatever delivery food I ordered.

 

[Childe]

Ground meat of any kind should not be consumed by anyone. Disgustang.

Bell peppers of any kind are proof there is no god. They overtake any other flavors of what they’re in and taste like dish soap.

 

[unsure on how to proceed]

Bell peppers of any kind are proof there is no god. They overtake any other flavors of what they’re in and taste like dish soap.

My theory is that americans lost so much taste that they need to include them in everything to find any flavor. My mom puts bell peppers in food sparingly, and nobody really eats them bc it's supposed to give flavor to the main dish.

Also, seafood SUCKS, it's gross and it's probably not even cleaned/cooked properly. There's a reason there's such a high health risk for eating them even slightly wrong. The sea is polluted af and I wouldn't eat anything that comes from it.

Olives and olive-derived products are also terrible and I don't get why anyone would eat cibatta bread without a gun to their head.
