Taste is subjective, and if you still doubt it, just talk to people about whether or not pineapple belongs on pizza. Straight off the bat, you will hear contradictory answers and see just how eager folks are to defend them.

A few weeks ago, Reddit user 1060west-addison made a post on the platform, saying "What is the most controversial food opinion you have?" And it instantly blew up.

As of today, the post has over 20,000 comments, many of which have ignited heated discussions. From cupcakes to beets, continue scrolling to see what things are tearing everyone apart.

30 Of The Hottest Food Takes That Are Tearing People Apart Only vaguely a food opinion, but, there’s no such thing as a “special occasion” food. Like, cakes are often associated with parties. But I’m a grown man and if I want cake because it’s Wednesday I’m gonna go get myself a Wednesday cake.

If something requires long preparation (several hours or longer), it is a special occasion food ;)

I can handle hot, but prefer medium, where I can enjoy the heat but still actually taste my foods flavour.

30 Of The Hottest Food Takes That Are Tearing People Apart I honestly don't think rice belongs inside a burrito. Get the carbs from the tortilla and any veggies. Rice is just a useless filler to make the burrito seems fuller than it really is. Also corn tortillas are superior for tacos.

Sometimes you have to modify them to suit the tastebuds of the people you’re serving them to. I don’t just mean people who weren’t raised on them, there are also people whose gastrointestinal system is somewhat delicate, and can’t take hot, spicy foods. Or wheat. Or dairy. Or…you get the picture.

If you can accept salmon in your sushi, stop it with all the other "that's not real sushi"....The Vancouver-based Japanese chef Hidekazu Tojo created the B.C. roll in 1974 when he used salmon skin in place of the traditional anago (salt-water eel), which was difficult to obtain in the West Coast. It's fish on rice not mana of the gods folks.

I don't think its gross, but it makes the whole thing taste like cream cheese and only like cream cheese. Cheam cheese is fine on a cracker, but when I eat sushi, I want to taste sushi. It's like putting tomato sauce on it.

The Philadelphia roll? Sushi chefs study the craft for years to perfect the taste only for a cheese company to come along and say "I have an IDEA!" Always leavesy mouth feeling unsatisfied and reaching for extra ginger.

It's because smoked salmon and cream cheese is a big deal up here, but it should never have crossed over. It's not good. Stick with raw salmon.

Funny you say its not good, at our local sushi place, it is the Philly rolls (with the cream cheese) that are most popular and sell out very quickly. It is good to MANY others.

Canned fish is awesome! Not just sardines and anchovies but you can get all kinds of fish in cans, even stuff like clams and even squid! And if you prefer food without too many additives or processing, look at the back of the can, it typically says something like "ingredients: fish, salt, some sort of oil (veg or sunflower or something) and with some, the processing is so minimal the fish is just cooked in the can after sealing during the pasturization process.

Try kipper snacks, they kinda have a smokey bacon taste. Fantastic treat/snack
