Do you also get really annoyed when someone is in the kitchen while you are cooking or cleaning up? And are horrified when people pour milk first and then put in cereal? Do you feel the urge to correct a person who seems to know what they are doing but are doing it wrong?

It seems that the kitchen attracts a lot of frustration and people can argue about food and cooking for hours. Reddit user rawlingstones know this human trait and when they posed the questions of “What’s your stupidest cooking opinion” they also added “so we can fight about it?”

The fight in the thread was pretty civilised despite some pretty controversial opinions being thrown around. Are there any in this list that you agree with? What is a food opinion that you will fight about? Let us know in the comments!

    Who downvoted this? People shouldn’t judge others for what they want on pizza, right??? It’s not their pizza, it’s that person’s. Where would you guys on BP be if I put hedgehog food on my pizza?? Plus, this person here is just complimenting something, not insulting something. People who have their own beliefs and not INSULTING something shouldn’t deserve downvotes unless what they’re saying is REALLY ridiculous.

    Even though I am Italian, I have to confess I don't hate Pineapple on Pizza. I wouldn’t make it myself, but I have enjoyed it in the past. It has to be American style pizza though, which makes it, essentially, a different dish. Still "pizza" (the word means anything flat) technically, but I don't think pineapple would taste OK on an Italian pizza. Plus, pineapple is very moist, so it would make a thin-crust pizza soggy (as mushrooms do if they are not sauteed before putting them on italian style pizza). America style dough works fine and as long as you don't tell other Italians, I'll have the occasional "forbidden pizza".

    I tried it for the first time a month or so ago (ham and pineapple - what we usually call "Hawaiian pizza" in the states) after thinking my whole life it'd be gross. I was pleasantly surprised! I enjoyed it, would definitely eat it again, but it's not the flavor profile I look for when I get a pizza craving. That would be pepperoni, meatballs, sausage, mushrooms, onions, and green bell peppers (usually called a "supreme" here.)

    People who claim it's non-traditional should probably not use tomato sauce or meats. Originally this throwaway flatbread was collected by poor folk and smeared with a little oil and some herbs, and cheese when they had it. The other stuff is pretty much 20th century American.

    I stay out of this argument because I don't like pineapple so I definitely won't like it on pizza so that disqualifies me from having an objective opinion. But I will say this, when I tried it the flavors were such a terrible balance that I literally threw up before I could swallow.

    That's not quite the Haiwain pizza I know and love. Too much Mozarella not enough ham slices of capsicum and so forth. That looks awful for a "pineapple" pizza. Pineapple is only meant for a slight enhancer. Think of a meat lovers with added pineapple something else other than this.

    You can check if eggs are still fresh by putting them in a glass of water. If they sink to the bottom, they're fresh. If they stand upright or bop up and down a bit, they're still okay. You could use still them to bake a cake or make scrambled eggs or anything that completely cooks the egg. But I wouldn't use them for recipes that call for uncooked parts of the egg like royal icing or mayonnaise. If the egg is swimming on the surface of the water, toss it in the bin.

    The directions: Mix the ingredients until the right consistency, but I'm going to describe the consistency in a way that includes every known substance to man, such as 'until it covers the back of the spoon'. Then bake it with an equally vague idea (between 150 and 250 degrees, for 45-75 mins), but be careful! Too hot it won't rise, too cold it wont cook, too long and it'll turn to rock, no long enough it'll collapse when you open to door. Just make sure you get the temperature and timing perfect!!!!!

    Classic Aioli does not even contain mayo, nor does it contain any egg or vinegar. It consists purely of garlic and olive oil, sometimes with some grains of salt or pepper. That being said, mayo itself is not gross, either. The gross part is to combine it with foods it is not suitable to be paired with. I love mayo on fries but can't stand it in salads.

The rest of the world needs to stop wearing jeans, tee-shirts, and western suits. Also, stop listening to western/American music. I find it offensive. And since one person, ME, finds it offensive EVERYONE should stop doing it. This was sarcasm by the way.

    you can use a lot more salt than people normally do and still not taste it. i see people pinching salt onto their steaks, while i sprinkle that s**t on every square inch. makes meat super tender and its great for flavor.. use more salt.

    NO! My pet hate. Chefs saying a pinch of salt then dumping a fistful of salt all over the dish.

    • Truffles are a waste of money

    • Chili without beans is a wasted opportunity

    • Kraft dried parm (shakey cheese) is delicious and has its applications

    • Garlic powder is a pantry essential and it gives another dimension that you cant get with fresh garlic.

    I'm sure there is more.

    I'm predominantly a meat eater, but as part of our cutting back on meat one of our meals is spinach and ricotta cannelloni, and it's really yummy.

    This hot take comes from my grandmother: chopping lettuce ruins it because you cut the vitamins in half so it's not as good for you when you eat it. You gotta shred it with your hands.

    San Marzano tomatoes do taste better in my opinion. If I’m making something where tomatoes are the star of the dish then I splurge. Cento is a common brand but Glen Muir uses San Marzanos too I think and are a little cheaper.

    Grated cheese isn't a seasoning

    Watermelon is good but overrated

    People who can't eat cilantro are weak and natural selection is coming for them (also applies to spicy food)

    Isn't cilantro that thing that tastes like soap to some people? I might be wrong though.
