Unpopular opinions about food

[AnOminous]

Tea with sugar is foul and boba is disgusting. Also Iceburg lettuce is easily the worst kind of lettuce nor do I think it belongs on burgers.

Tea is best black under ordinary circumstances, but there is some room for a "builder's tea" when you're going to be doing actual physical work outdoors in the cold. And the way to make it is incredibly concentrated and high in caffeine, preferably with something heavy in assam like Irish breakfast tea, and then heavily dosed with cream and sugar.

builder's tea

When I'm sick, I like to make my tea with sliced ginger (I strain it out after steeping), honey and lemon. It is amazing.

I can see that for a nice boost in energy although I think I'd personally go for a strong coffee with cream in that scenario.

Strong Irish coffee for me, in any scenario.

But as far as thread itself - 1:1 water to whisky is an actual drink and mellows out the taste of even most vile and cheap shit.

Five Guys food is gross. The burgers are always soggy and sloppy, like they just came out of the strainer at the bottom of the sink, and the fries are limp and oily.

I grew up in the south and I hate sweet tea, fried chicken, biscuits, and grits. People roll their eyes when I order unsweet iced tea.

I prefer kiwi with the skin still on.

Grapefruit tastes better salted. Try it.

Lasagna is just as good cold as it is hot. Ate some cold leftover lasagna for breakfast the other day and you would have thought I was eating a baby by my sister’s reaction.

Mild power-level here but I have some food sensitivities and health conditions that require me to use alternatives to popular ingredients to not feel like dying after consuming them.
As a result of using the alternatives for so long, I no longer like the taste of real sugar, butter, or mayo.
I use a generic brand of splenda in any coffee or tea I make, I use a vegan butter alternative and do not care for the taste of real butter. The only exceptions to that is I will use real butter in baked goods, and if I'm searing a steak in cast iron. I can taste the eggs in mayo, and use a vegan alternative to that as well, on the rare occasion I need to use mayo.
I do not care for the taste of chicken or eggs, don't like the texture of most forms of pork (bacon is good though), and I don't eat a lot of beef unless it's a steak or in homemade beef stew.
I am accidentally vegan against my own will.
I will indulge in meat and real dairy products on occasions when I can offset how trash I may feel afterwards with a good nap lol.
I do have to agree with the ooperator though, cheese is fucking amazing. Even if it hurts me greatly if I consume too much in one sitting.

These aren't even unpopular opinions. It's just an admission that your shit's fucked up.

It is my opinion that Hershey products are rancid. Everything they put into them is fake and now overpriced. If I want REAL milk chocolate the price is double! I miss being able to taste real chocolate...

My bloodline is weak.
Still doesn't change that I dislike the taste of sugar, butter or eggs lol.
I think most people would find at least the sugar thing to be an unpopular food opinion.

 

[Battery Low]

As someone who adores butter & practically lives off eggs, I concur. Husband makes his own mayo so would definitely be an unpopular opinion in this house.

Thread tax: sardines are tasty, nutritious and cheap. Aforementioned husband gets freaked out by them, which I secretly consider a sign of weakness.

Your husband's weakness is shared. I like fish, but sardines are rancid

Grits like most porridge is meh at best. And unsweetened green tea is where its at.

5 guys is literally damn grease soup with some shmeat and veg than anything I'd ever refer to as a burger or a sandwich. Tin foil has its uses, and greasy-ass finger food just ain't it.

Ditto spiced tea that has cinnamon, clove and licorice root.

I consider chai an abomination, like any cinnamon in non-baked-dessert application. Ginger is a much better sharp kick of a spice for everything, including tea.

Which butter alternative do you like?

The one I've used consistently despite it cost is Earth Balance. The flavor is inoffensive and back when I was switching from real butter to margarine, it was the best tasting and was as close to real butter as I could get at the time. So I stuck with it. Most marg has that oil taste, and I didn't get that with Earth Balance.

I don't make a chai out of it, it's a southern iced tea with spices.

It became a trend/fad in recent years but I grew in a place where there was a long tradition of putting butter in coffee. They said it won't give you the shits which is important if you're caught in a blizzard.

I also think we should bring back drinking coffee like this because it's cool

 

[Rotting Femcel]

Fruits are better than any candy or dessert food. I will die on this hill. I would rather be gifted perfectly ripened fruit than any nice dessert, no matter what it is. Also caramel is too sweet and it ruins anything it touches.
