28 Controversial Food Opinions to Start A Food Fight With

We all have different kitchen etiquette. Some people are grossed out by foods that other people love. Here are some things we found at r/AskReddit that are controversial for the kitchen.

1.

Croc pot liners feel like you’re just asking for cancer. -u/Sleeves_are_4_bitchz

2.

I like making chicken with pasta. I make it into a sauce similar to Bolognese but I'll put small chicken bits instead of the mince... My family calls me a savage for eating such things together. -u/SweetJazz25

3.

There's no such thing as "breakfast food". You can eat a steak in the morning and fry an egg for dinner if you want, it's just food. -alphareich

4.

Not all moms or grandmas are amazing cooks. Yes my mom has some good dishes she makes but nuking brussel sprouts in the microwave with orange marmalade is not one of them. -u/12inch_Juicy_Burrito

5.

Mile high burgers and hot dogs with so many toppings you can no longer taste the meat are awful, and a pain in the a** to eat. -u/irish2685

6.

You can dislike a food simply for its texture, nothing to do with its taste. I don’t mind the taste of baked beans but I hate how slimy they are and don’t even get me started on when they’re cold. -u/eggshitter

7.

How to say 'pecan' I swear my family has gone to war over which way to pronounce it. -u/Significant_Ad_8159

8.

In a pinch, you can sub plain yogurt for all kinds of liquids. -u/killercurvesahead

9.

The cream cheese based crock pot dinners are the modern equivalent of Jell-O based dinners from the 50s. -u/MadameBurner

10.

I once used mayonnaise instead of butter on a grilled cheese out of desperation and it worked out fine. Smelled weird but had no difference in taste. -u/J0LTED

11.

Some food tastes better a little bit burnt. -u/FancySloth

12.

Most root vegetables (e.g. carrots, potatoes, ginger) don’t need to be peeled when properly cooked. -u/xCaptainCrunchxD

13.

Most people/companies do not know how to do salted caramel. every salted caramel product I've had homemade or otherwise has been like mouth puckeringly salty. The point is to lightly salt it to bring out the more subtle flavors, not literally make salty caramel. -u/RandomGuy5937

14.

Things like an air fryer are NOT cheating. If I wanna air fry a salmon fillet for 8 minutes instead of stick it in the oven for 20, and then toss it on a bed of single serve 2 minute microwaveable instant stick rice instead of make a large portion that has to cook for 30 minutes, I'll do just that and it's still a real meal. -u/givememorecheese

15.

Most restaurants should just stop serving vegetarian dishes if they can't be bothered to make something that tastes good. You cannot just put kale, quinoa, some random veg, and a vinaigrette in a bowl and charge $25. -u/goatpengertie

16.

I've done the final egg coating on apple pies with a makeup brush more times than I'd like to admit. -u/menchii_

17.

Burnt garlic is far too common. Some people (I’m hesitant to say most) toss garlic straight into a hot pan and then continue to cook onions, peppers, etc. Garlic needs less time than most other things and should be put in later so it doesn’t burn. -u/jjrandy

18.

Use what you have on hand. Trust yourself to make it work. -u/Eaglelakegirl64

19.

Red onions should be called purple onions. -u/Antisocial-Lightbulb

20.

Meal prep is just eating leftovers all week. -u/diablo1128

21.

As a lifelong carnivore I will say that if tofu is cooked properly it is absolutely delicious. I would even go so far as to say I prefer it in certain dishes over animal protein. -u/HubbTub

22.

MSG works. -u/Dracconas

23.

Pepperoni's need a little time in a pan before putting in on the pizza and in the oven. Omptimize crispy-ness. -u/Short_fuzed_frenchie

24.

Presentation barely matters to me. I've had many delicious scoops of slop. -u/ToBePacific

25.

As an adult, you should clean as you cook!! -u/omg_88

26.

Recipes are only opinions. Feel free to mix things up as you see fit. People in my household go berserk when I suggest this. -u/pfojes

27.

Smaller portions for visual effect is absolutely awful to your guests. Like. Less food, to impress me? You lost me already. -u/Squaragus_Asparagus

28.

Don't put olive oil in your pasta water. Oil floats. It doesn't do anything. -u/KidLanguageBarrier
