Unpopular opinions about food

Had you at brining. Lost you at "pickle."

Salting is the key to a juicy roast.

It was supposed to say pickling salts or spices not pickle juice damn auto fill while drunk off my ass posting

Every Thanksgiving I refuse to leave my home because I find turkey to be so disgusting. I swear the smell alone makes me nearly vomit. I made some Bulgogi and rice instead ❤

Tofu is pretty good and I like it and that does NOT make me a soyboy.

Why ruin pizza with so many fucking toppings? Pepperoni is fine, cheese is too I suppose. Simple is best sometimes, what can I say.

I agree, for example you're really simple and quite often the best, friendo.

I miss the old butterfinger.

I dislike hard candy. Butterfingers are supposed to be soft and crisp, but most of them I've gotten tend to be really hard for some reason.

Not a big fan of chocolate ice cream.

Believe it or not I'm not very big on desserts. Now that I'm older I feel that I not only have to buy a lot in one package to save money compared to buying an individual candy bar, I don't trust myself with them because I overeat them and I can't deny I'm more picky when it comes to sweets. Chocolate ice cream is overrated but still tasty when it's a well prepared ice cold milk shake. However, I would like to try vanilla ice cream with chocolate fudge as a tastier alternative.

Cannot stand it. Maybe that makes me retarded. Don’t care it’s gross

What kind of Ground meat did you eat to make you feel that way or do you not like the way it looks?

 

[A Dumb Demon]

Crunchy cookies shit all over chewy or soft cookies.

Soy sauce is not gay because it's been fermented.

American cheese is unfairly maligned. It's not fake cheese, it's just meant to be used as an ingredient.

I'm going to try putting bacon under the skin.

Barding and larding are awesome for leaner meats. I bought a larding needle especially for venison roasts, I felt kind of dumb buying such a special-purpose tool but it made a huge difference to the roast.

Luckily, a turkey has skin so you don't really need to do anything fancy to keep it in place. It doesn't really add flavor but it definitely keeps the meat from drying. I may go the herbed butter route next time.

Have you ever used caul fat? I've always wanted to try it.

No, and I've never actually even seen it for sale. I'd have to find a source for it. It's kind of weird looking stuff.

I'm lucky enough to live near an old-fashioned full-service butcher, he can hook you up with any part of the animal from snout to tail.

I have a habit of reading old cookbooks and it's interesting how much the American idea of which parts of the animal are acceptable as food have narrowed in the past two centuries. Calf's head, cow tongue, sweetbreads, calf feet, lamb fries, even marrow bones are generally regarded with distaste although they were cookbook staples up until about the 1940s. It seems like in the 1950s the national palate changed very quickly and completely.

There was a lot of pressure by manufacturers of highly processed foods (like Crisco) to discredit and portray things like lard as being especially unhealthy, ironically often replacing them with even worse things like the transfat-laden original Crisco. Possibly the big push to canned and processed and other "modern" foods caused things like this to be seen as weird or primitive.

I absolutely love anchovies, they have a yummy texture. Duck is way better than chicken and lamb is sometimes nicer to have than beef.

 

[NoFeline]

The same people who bitch about cream cheese in sushi because it's American and "not traditional" put avocado on every roll which it is not only American and not traditional but also fucking disgusting. The texture is heinous.
