Unpopular opinions about food

Sir, this is an unpopular opinion thread. But what you just said here is heretical. You will recant or be made too. As the sacred texts proclaim, only animals of cloven hooves may be blessed to become burger.

The patrician burger blend is lean chuck and pork belly/bacon in a blend from 70-30 to 80-20.
 
Pulled pork or brisket or BBQ chicken with sauce is an okay novelty pizza. So is buffalo chicken. I even think "Hawaiian pizza" with a white sauce, ham/pork and pineapple (but fresh and not from a can) is edible. Almost nobody makes that, though, and the usual "Hawaiian pizza" is so vile I can understand why people think it's an abomination of a topping, as it usually is. And one of the best pizzas I had was wood oven, basil pesto, with grilled chicken and marinated artichoke hearts. Pesto pizza is one of the few I'd make a regular thing, instead of a change of pace, though.

Also anchovies are a great topping. Not just on pizza, on most things where they're a possible ingredient.
Ditto on the white sauce Hawaiian. Alfredo Hawaiian is fantastic with canadian bacon, fresh pineapple, and italian sausage.

I haven't had anchovies straight up or as a topping but some anchovy paste mixed in with garlic powder, black pepper, and butter is the thing I need to put on my ribeye.
 
I simply will not touch lobster, crab or shrimp...look like bugs to me.

I don't care how good they taste I ain't eating sea bugs.

Clams and mussels are good though.
I'd eat the lobster or crab meat as long as it was taken out of the shell before I saw the alien-looking creature it came from, but fishmongers sell them whole. Prawns are nearly always sold ready-to-eat here, so I've never had a problem with them, but it did freak me out when I first saw some fresh ones when I was a kid.

Anything other than fresh lobster, which basically means it was alive up until it was cooked, is worthless trash.

Vanilla is gross.

Anything with the flavor has been made with beaver diarrhea. I'm not making that up. Don't eat it. Ever.

That's fake vanilla, which is gross. Real vanilla is made with a bean. You can make it yourself.

Of course I'd want it fresh it was before it was cooked, my problem is how horrifically ugly lobsters are and if anyone bought that monstrosity out I would, at best, lose my appetite or, at worst, introduce my recent appetite to everyone else at the table. Cook me a fresh lobster, get all the meat out and chuck it on a plate and I'll be happy to chow down on it.
 
I cut off the fat on my steaks. I can't stand the texture of fat, even though I will acknowledge that it gives steak good flavor.
Eh, not that bad, what really matters AFAIK is the marbling of the fat inside the steak it self, not the fat on the outside.
Canned meat can be tasty: I'm thinking chopped ham (with extra jelly, of course) and British style corned beef. Bonus points if the can comes with a little key to open it, I am a sucker for those.
Devil ham was surprisingly decent.

I've been playing around with the idea of making a Hawaiian pizza with spam instead of Canadian bacon.

Surely spam is the more authentic ingredient here? Islanders love that spiced ham.
 
I like tomato sauce, ketchup and cooked tomatoes. If I bite into a sliced tomato in a sandwich I dont flip out or send it back and hey as long as its buried by the other flavors that's fine... but I have limits. I hate raw tomatoes or biting into cherry tomatoes. They make me gag. It takes and feels like a giant zit just burst into my mouth. Oh god I hate them.

It is, but I figured since so many people hate pineapples and spam, it would be doubly unpopular.
IIRC the name "Hawaiian pizza" comes from the brand of pineapples the canadian pizza shop that 'invented' it used.

When I was a kid I'd always go for the lemon jolly ranchers, no one else liked them, I guess I just like sour things?
