Unpopular opinions about food

The excuses for the continued existence of turkey is thanksgiving dinner and idiots buying smoked turkey legs at state fairs. There is no other excuse for Worst Bird continuing to plague us.
The ibis is the Worst Bird.

People who claim to like drinking unsweetened coffee or tea are probably just showing off. I don't understand how anyone can like drinking bitter water which, aside from giving you a caffeine rush, doesn't really provide much nutritional value.
I genuinely enjoy some bitter flavors. It's the same reason I like drinking IPAs.

Coffee reflects life, adding sugar or milk makes it sweeter or smoother but in the end all you're doing is deluding yourself by hiding the bitterness.
 
filipino food is pretty good ngl.

except for the monkey brain stew. worst decision of my life.
The cuisine depends on where you go as the Phillipines. Much like Indonesia, is home to many different Austronesians with their own cultures and foods.

Brown Sauce is better than Red Sauce. Ketchup is way too sweet for me and I prefer tomato relishes on my burgers.

the rule of thumb is "the more rural the cuisine is, the more of a crapshoot as to whether it'll be palatable or not".
 
I like extreme heat in my Indian and Thai cuisine. Beneath the minor pain is a massive hit of dopamine. Plus it gives me a low key chance to prove my masculinity to my friends.
I used to like extreme heat, now I just like pretty high heat. Like the really hot version of Thai green curry noodles with holy basil. Hot enough that it's really hot, but not hot enough you can't taste the basil.

Haven't taken sugar in my tea or coffee for about 10 years now. Adding sugar literally ruins the taste of the product. Like with many things, the more pronounced flavours of unsweetened coffee and tea are acquired, not instantly gained. Who the hell tried their first lager, or glass of wine, and thought 'man, that's delicious!' Fucking nobody. It tastes like death and cancer the first time. Then it gets better, and better, and better.

This may be true for delicate blends like Darjeeling that have gentle notes that are completely obliterated by sugar or milk, but I sometimes like a "builder's tea" which is just a ridiculously jacked-up concentrated caffeine bomb made with some kind of Irish breakfast tea or other mostly assam blend, then drowned in milk and sugar. I really like Lyon's for this.

This is pure nonsense, and plenty of people actually like bitter tastes. You're probably one of those fucking weirdoes who don't even have Dark Triad traits.
