Unpopular opinions about food

I eat little scoops of chili paste straight. I like to take little sips straight out of my bottles of hot sauce and vinegar (usually the balsamic but sometimes others). I also drink pepper/pickle brine and will keep the bottle with only the brine left in the fridge so I can take little sips when I feel like it.

I think canned salmon and canned oysters are delicious.

Also I think this might not be an uncommon sentiment but mangoes are much better when you add chili powder to them

Can't back up the oysters, but canned salmon makes great salmon burgers or croquettes.

Mangoes and lots of fruits are great with Taijin seasoning, which is a mix of salt, chili powder, and lime juice. The fucking best.

Can't believe I forgot about Taijin. I was one of those kids who would eat the powder straight. I'd pour it on my hand and lick it kinda like you'd do with salt after taking a shot of tequila

I think the fact that the bottles had a warning label telling you specifically not to eat it on its own only served as more encouragement for my kid brain
 
I never knew anyone thought eggs needed to be washed. Washing eggs makes them last less due to damaging their protective layer... :S
I didn't know about this so I looked it up and in my country its literally forbidden for the seller to wash eggs except by some large producers that also do some other treatments to them afterwards increase some protection. Weird that its so different. Any idea why anyone would want to wash eggs?

Eggs can last for months if kept at a cool temperature!

For some good lasagna:

Get those finely shopped onions simmering.
Put in da meat.
Season with salt and pepper.
Put in finely shopped carrots, I like peppers and a lil bit of chili too. Tiny bit of garlic is always nice if you like that.
After everything starts to brown really nicely add the tomato sauce, preferably from those elongated tomatoes that I forgot the name of.
Add basil + bay leaf + if you like some other spice or herb.
Add some flour or other thickener of choice. You do not want a watery sauce.
Simmer at a low temperature for like 30 minutes.
Taste and add salt and pepper to your liking.

At the same time make bechamel sauce, google it. Unless you want to add full thick cream to your tomatoe sauce. But you want to go classic now, you can experiment later.

Next make or buy ricotta and a strong cheese of your choice like gruyere or at least cheddar.

Layer your Lasagna, if you're doing this just for yourself or a date get a special lasagna container that leaves some space on the sides (isnt fully square) so it can bathe in its sauce.

Start with the pasta, then bechamel, then the meat sauce then one of the cheeses.
Repeat this 4 times.

Top off with a little bit of the meat sauce, no bechamel and a nice layer of parmesan (or cheaper variant cause all you're paying for is the name of designated origin) that has been stored for at least 18 months. If you're big into cheese you can grate a fourth cheese here instead like mozzarella or even goat cheese and then once cooked sprinkle fresh parmesan on it the moment you take it out.

Into the oven, 200C (350 ish F? ) for at least 1 hour and 30 min
Or you can go back to before step 1 and pre-cook your pasta or buy pre-cooked pasta and then its half that.

Decorate with a basil leaf.

Ricotta can be substituted with mozzarella but preferably not, especially sicne you're mostly gonna get your hands on dry pre-grated mozarella. Fresh mozarella is fine. But its not as zesty.
It seems like @Hollywood Hulk Hogan and I not only derailed a thread, but the entire website into becoming a pasta-related recipe sharing forum.
 
I'm sick of wagyu, I'm sick of hearing about it. Sometime a few years ago I guess Americans learned about it and it's just been growing in popularity. It seems cooking videos that aren't about burgers, BBQ, or bread are about cooking wagyu with other things. Now people irl are telling me how amazing wagyu is. It's just fat, you're eating lard. Like that's fine, it's tasty, I guess. But it's like eating a cake that's mostly just icing, yeah, it tastes good, but it's not a superior cake, and you'll be sick if you eat too much.
 
New York pizza is overrated. That applies to floppy, large slices and to Neapolitan style pizza that some New Yorkers claim as theirs for some reason. Pizza in New York is no better than in other places in the U.S., and just like anywhere you have good, bad, and average pizza places.

This is less an unpopular opinion as much as not understanding Chipotle’s reputation for causing stomach issues.
Only people I know who complain about this, are ones who have very little fiber in their diet. Their bodies are used to refined grain and other processed food. To the point that a scoop of beans and maybe some corn is too much to handle. Hot salsa might have some effect too.

It's not fiber, its because Chipotle has has quite a few cases of food poisoning. Between 2015-2018 there were at least 5 separate instances resulting in over 1100 people getting sick and a 25 million dollar fine, in 2008 over 500 people got sick from food born illnesses at one Chipotle, among many other times. Some of these cases spread across multiple states too (IIRC one of these times it was 11 states).
 
I hate when people try to divorce themselves from the idea that they're eating an animal. Like the kind of person who munches down 30 mcnuggies but refuses to eat anything that has a bone in it because "Ew! Animal parts!" Like they'll only consume meat in its most abstract form because they can't handle the fact that their burger comes from a dead cow. It's disrespectful to the animal that gave its life so you could have your fucking tendies. Now I know that sounds gay as fuck, but I'm actually gonna double down and say that if you wouldn't be willing to kill an animal yourself and eat it, you shouldn't be consuming meat. Simple as.
 
Spinach > all other leafy greens. I can't stand the stalk/ crunchy part on romaine, it's a texture thing. I do like arugula and kale if given the option, but romaine and cabbage have always been low pics for me. Pickled cabbage is pretty good.

Maybe, but people do not complain about other fastfoods that are frequently linked to food poisonings. Jimmy Johns is about as notorious as Chiplotle and Subway is not a stranger to food poisonings either, but people are not bitching about them.
Similar thing happens with high fiber staple foods (beans) versus lower fiber ones that are notorious for giving food poisonings (spinach and other leafy greens.)
