“They’re Just Crunchy Vinegar”: 50 Unhinged And Unfiltered Food Opinions Culture war b******t on food is nonsense.

I appear to be in the minority but I agree with the op. I like mine medium rare but I really couldn't care less about how someone else eats their steak. Taste is by definition highly subjective so who am I to tell anyone their taste is wrong.

To find out how this conversation started in the first place, we reached out to Reddit user Deathbykoolaidman, who invited others to share their unpopular opinions about food. In their post, the OP noted that they despise pickles and that they refuse to use ketchup as an ingredient in a recipe (though they will eat it as a condiment).

As far as what inspired Deathbykoolaidman to start this thread, they told Bored Panda, "I was just curious. I had been hated on for my pickle opinion by many people and wanted to see what other crazy food opinions the people of the internet had."

I have to admit that I always hated pickles too until I was about 18 years old, so I can sympathize!

We also asked the OP if they had any other controversial opinions about food, aside from hating pickles and refusing to cook with ketchup. "I prefer cake with either very little, or no frosting at all," they shared. "It’s sickly sweet, gets stuck in my mouth and makes your hands messy. Perfectly good cupcakes get overpowered when giant dollops of frosting are piled on the top."

“They’re Just Crunchy Vinegar”: 50 Unhinged And Unfiltered Food Opinions Authenticity doesn’t matter. Nothing is authentic. Everything has been and will be adapted to fit local availability and taste. Authenticity is a way for people to pretend like they know something about a culture or place and seem “cool”.

I was going to come on here and say something like "except for recipes handed down from my mother's family" but had second thoughts about saying it. I hate to admit it but this person is right. I've altered or adjusted the couple of recipes I make on a regular basis, mostly the order of adding ingredients or baking time. I've also done the same to recipes out of cookbooks that I've been making for decades (I really need to write down some of these adjustments sometime).

As far as why people are so passionate about their food opinions, Deathbykoolaidman says it's only natural. "Of course you’ll think your opinion is right! It’s like how everybody insists their grandma made the best cookies or apple pie," they explained. "You grew up with it, so you’ll assume it’s the only right answer. However, some people got very angry over other peoples opinions, and it’s like, just let people live!"

Most sweet desserts, especially in the US, actually have far too much sugar which overpowers the complexity of flavours. Icing sugar is particularly nasty in this regard. You don't need it.

The pickle thing was me like 5 years ago.

I went 40 years of my life hating f*****g pickles. No kind of pickled vegetable. It was gross as hell to me. If a pickle was even on food, it ruined it for me, but I accidentally ate them plenty of times. Hated em every time.

One day, a restaurant gave me the wrong order, gave me a bunch of cheeseburgers extra mustard and pickles, I was already home, and hungry as hell...so I ate them. And they were really, really good. And I've been slowly acquiring more of a taste for pickles since.

Food is weird man.

The biggest problem with home cooking is that very few people add enough salt. It's not about making it salty, it's about enhancing the flavours. When I eat in other people's houses or in restaurants I never add salt until I taste it first. I love when I don't need to reach for or add salt and 100% of the times when I think it doesn't require salt, no one else mentions anything about it being too salty but instead raves about how amazing it is. If I do end up adding salt to a dish after it has been served to me,in public, I get nothing but comments from other people about how I eat far too much salt.

Baking's not that hard and the degree to which it's an exact science is wildly overrated. Unless you're a professional it's just unlikely you'll ever get a comparable amount of baking experience vs cooking such that you can improvise. The major tricky difference is just that there's no trying the product partway through to know if you're on the right track. But there's plenty of reasonable leeway if you know what you're doing.

Everyone ive ever met gets REALLY upset when i say i dont like peanut butter. its not entirely true, as i like peanut butter in a single application: peanut butter and pickle sandwiches. which they think im unhinged for. apparently its a common pregnancy craving. i think i just crave it because i have a chronic salt deficiency, unless ive been pregnant for (checks notes) 8 years. i also dont like chocolate very much at all. white chocolate is better.

anyway, as someone who is a fiend for pickles, i never get upset when someone doesnt like pickles. it just means more for me!

I only get mad at my husband because he's very dramatic about his hatred for peanut butter, calling it the devil's axel grease among other things. I get it, you don't like it, nobody is forcing you to eat it. LOL

“They’re Just Crunchy Vinegar”: 50 Unhinged And Unfiltered Food Opinions pickles ruin food for me. to me, they’re just crunchy vinegar and i can’t even stand the smell of them, let alone taste. they ruin burgers and sandwiches for me, because it makes everything else taste like pickle. if i order something that has pickles i have to order it with no pickles. i can’t even just take them off myself, which i do with other food i don’t like that come on my orders. i’ll still get the essence of pickle on my taste buds

I feel the way you feel about pickle about tomatoes *specifically* on sandwiches. I like tomato. I can pop cherry tomatoes as a snack. But NOTHING ruins a sandwich for me more than sliced tomato on it. Now it’s all I can taste, none of the meats, cheeses or spreads; just wet overwhelming tomato flavor.

Melons ruin everything they come into contact with. Everything smells and tastes like the melon and I will refuse to eat any fruit that touches it. Watermelon on the other hand is delicious. Unless, of course, it comes into contact with cantaloupe or honeydew. (Those are the 2 types I'm familiar with, maybe another variety would taste better to me).

Some types of bitterness are palatable to me and some are not. I think maybe there are other mitigating factors involved. I love chocolate, but dark chocolate is too bitter. But the after-bitterness of stevia is always too much.

I mostly disagree. I've been baking for 40 yrs and worked at a bakery for my first job. The Pastier gave me simple tips that helped me gain confidence. Here's the biggest mistakes I've seen in baking: 1) There are 2 types of measuring cups, liquid and dry. This is where the falsehood of being precise arises because recipes typically call for ounces or grams to combat this. 2) ALWAYS sift flour into a separate bowl (unless told not to do so) and lightly spoon into dry measuring cup. 3) "Pack" brown sugar where it maintains the shape of the measuring cup. 4) Baking soda and baking powder are not interchangeable, but both cause rising. 5) Butter and oil cannot be substituted in all recipes and not at the same measurement. I could go on... but if you follow those steps, you'll be baking edible baked goods.

Most Mangoes you get in the US are a pale imitation of the flavors, varieties and textures that are found in India. Just returned from a trip there and it was Mango season there. Astounding varieties. Ate Rasalu, Dasheri, Banganapalle, Alphonso, Kesar, Totapuri, Jawahar, Malgova... Unfortunately no Langda as it was too early for that.

lol, most mangoes you get in the US are from India. India is the leader quantity wise. But their quality doesn’t even come close to those produced in SE Asia. The best mangoes in the world come from the Philippines, Vietnam or Malaysia. Forget about India.

Stinky Tofu. It smells offensively bad yet so many people tell me it is nice once it's past your nose and in your mouth. I have tried it once because I had to show my wife, who was them my girlfriend, how serious I was about something. All I remember is the hesitation, making the stench worse and the cold, soggy, gelatinous texture that was underwhelmingly spicy. All in all that single mouthful I had was more than enough to know never again. The aroma is best described as 🤔 sour diarrhea leaked from a rusted sewer on a hot day after a typhoon with hints of congealed vomitty capsaicin and notes of stale sweaty onions.
