25 Controversial Foods That Are Dividing Our Households

1.

Oysters. My family is split 50/50 in loving them and absolutely despising them

2.

Marmite - my partner likes it, but I think it’s awful

3.

Blue cheeseI try, but I just can't do it. I can't like it. I hear how my dad and brother sing their praises to it, but I can't even look at it. Any other cheese is fine, though

4.

CoconutI didn’t know this until recently. Highly controversial

5.

Those sugar cookies with frosting and sprinkles that you find in most supermarkets!

6.

Eggnog

7.

Beets. Beet lovers know they taste like delicious dirt

8.

Oatmeal raisin cookies. I love a good homemade chewy oatmeal raisin cookie, but a lot of people act like raisins are evil rabbit turds.

9.

Cottage cheese. Something about the texture is revolting. The texture and the color.

10.

In my family, there are two strongly divided camps when it comes to Dr. Pepper.

11.

Mushrooms. I love and hate them. Cooked? Excellent addition to stir-fry, quiche, pizza, even good as a main dish. Raw or cooked badly? They taste like fluffy potting soil. And some folks can’t stand them in any form.

12.

Candy corn, without a doubt.

13.

Dear Spam, Why are you so good? How can you be so nauseating while at the same time being so satisfying? I could eat you by the brick. Please stay away from me. I'm not even Hawaiian!

14.

Canned sardines/ mackerel (usually with tomato sauce). Very traditional and loved in some countries, pretty sure it is despised in others.

15.

I love black licorice, but I'd wager there's a vast majority who hate it, and we're strongly in the minority.

16.

Brussel sprouts. Because of genetic mutations, approximately half the population finds them unpalatable.I'm one of them, never ate a Brussel sprout I didn't want to spit out.

17.

Fruitcake. I am one of those people that love it. I am not known for having a discerning palate, though. I know some who act like it is awful, and I think it is sweet, tasty, and good. Really good warmed up with heavy cream poured on it and whipped cream as well.

18.

Cilantro, of course

19.

Durian fruit.

20.

Mint chocolate chip ice cream. People say it tastes like toothpaste, I f*cking love it

21.

Kimchi. It’s spicy sauerkraut. What's not to love?

22.

Pineapple on pizza.

23.

Vegemite. It's almost like soy sauce in paste form. Use it sparingly as you would with soy sauce, and it really brings out that umami flavor.

24.

Wasabi

25.

I can see why a lot of people wouldn't like it boiled and soggy, but crispy baked broccoli with salt and pepper is very tasty
