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.

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.
Breakfast is an "anytime" kind of food. It doesn't have to be restricted to 5 AM - 1030 AM. Sometimes I like bacon, eggs, hashbrowns and strawberry vanilla crepes at 8:47 PM.
Yeah. My family often had “breakfast for dinner” nights. We actually had time to eat a full breakfast at that time of day, since we didn’t all have to run out the door to catch the school bus or go to work.
Load More Replies...I go the other way. I don't like traditional breakfast-type food. I will usually have a turkey wrap or a sandwich in the morning.
You and I are now friends. I had a chicken sandwich at 6:00 am today.

We eat breakfast for dinner at least once a week, it's great and easy
Eggs and toast are my go to dinner when I can't think of anything else.
I make bacon and French toast for dinner a couple of times a month.
A&W sells its breakfast foods all day long. It's a winner, for me, because sometimes that's all I want and it's 9 pm. At least in Toronto.
Breakfast is just breaking fast. If I break fast at 10pm, then I should be allowed to have pancakes.
Sometimes I have cold cereal for dinner and leftover pizza for breakfast.
Or Brötchen with cold meat and or cheese and a soft boiled egg…. (German version of Breakfast)
Its always breakfast time. Waffle House has become prominent in the news again recently because of Hurricane Ian. They are a 24/7 breakfast joint that it takes Armageddon to get one to close their doors. They are so famous for this fact that FEMA( gov't agency in charge of recovering after disasters like hurricanes or earthquakes) calls the stores to see if they are open. If a store doesn't answer the phone, they know that's somewhere they need to send help.
strawberry vanilla crepes... that sounds delisous i need a recipe for that now
I don't like breakfast foods (don't @me for it - I just don't like it), but growing up, breakfast for dinner was a family favorite. The whole family loved dippy eggs, toast, and pancakes at 6PM.
I like an English breakfast with bacon, eggs, beans, toast, tomatoes, sausage, but no blood pudding. This looks about right. bUT THE BEANS ARE MISSING.
that's an american one in the picture - the lack of blood pudding/white pudding/lorn sausage/laverbread and beans and the presence of hashbrowns is a giveaway. From what i read, bacon itself is optional in UK, since there area already two sausages, sometimes three, while in US is a must. Do you know better?
Load More Replies...The first time I went to the "old" Soviet Union in 1976 we had all sorts of foods for breakfast. I was delighted as I can't eat eggs. That's when I realized three things, breakfast is a time of day meal, breakfast was originally eggs and bacon and biscuits as you can fix those items pretty quickly in large amounts, perfect for farmers and ranchers and you can eat anything you want. So, now, whatever is breakfast.
Depends on where you live. A coffee and a cornetto (croissant) where I live is pretty well all you get for breakfast or a slice of plain cake and some milk. Then a cooked lunch.
I mostly eat cereal in the evening, specially when it's too hot to cook!
Breakfast is what you eat before noon... lunch at/around noon/midday and dinner in the evening. You might have a habit of not eating breakfast but having an early lunch which is then referred to as brunch. It is not the kind of food you eat that gives it its name. You can eat pancakes for dinner and a steak at breakfast if that is your thing.
Steak and beer for breakfast? Throw in an egg and count me in!
Load More Replies...Cupcakes with super thick and ornate frosting are fun to look at but rarely tasty
If they don’t have thick, genuine buttercream frosting, they are just sad muffins.
Just because you like hot food, doesn't mean you have to use the absolute hottest sauce you have.
I can handle hot, but prefer medium, where I can enjoy the heat but still actually taste my foods flavour.
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.
Runny eggs are gross. Your favorite chef's "perfect scrambled eggs" look like vomit.
Sushi rolls shouldn’t be so big you have to take more than one bite or else they disintegrate
Just eat your sushi, rolls, maki or sashimi in an actual Japanese restaurant : taste before size. Leave the big fake ones to the western fast food chains
Sticking to the traditional authentic versions of foods is not necessarily better. It’s ok to be creative in cooking and mix things from different cuisines
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.
Anything tastes good when you put sugar on it. People who think they like rhubarb are just kidding themselves. No one liked rhubarb. They like sugar.
Edit: rhubarb was capitalized and it doesn't deserve it.
Why are french fries not suitable for breakfast but tater tots are? I should be able to eat whatever I want for breakfast even if it’s not typically a breakfast food because it’s still mostly the same.
All food is food. Food doesn't have a schedule. Eat a curry for breakfast and cereal for dinner. The food doesn't care.
The cookie part of the Oreo is better than the stuffing part
Horseradish is amazing and belongs on more than just roast beef
Mayo on fries. Never realized how controversial it was until I moved to the States
Cream cheese in sushi is f*****g gross
WHO EVEN DOES THIS GIVE ME THEIR ADDRESS AND I WILL PERSONALLY HIRE MY CAT TO ASSASSINATE THEM (free advertising moment- she works 200 buckaroonies an hour and always gets the job done)
Roasted marshmallows are only worth eating if they have been fully caught on fire first. Burnt sh’mellows hit different.
Circus Peanuts and Candy Corn are NOT food and are completely repulsive!......
Truffles are overrated. They are used on everything as a buzz word and generally don’t even need to be there to begin with.
They are usually added so sparingly, that I'm still not sure I know what a truffle tastes like. I would quite like to eat a whole one, just to find out.
Bananas do NOT go in fruit salad!
The texture does not match the rest of the fruit, and the mush ruins it
Wrong, bananas are a MUST on fruit salad, their texture os no different than grapes or kiwi, and the flavor they give its amazing.
Unless it is a very good steak, burgers are better.
too much cheese on/in food stops being enjoyable
Bacon is fine, but is vastly over appreciated. It’s salted meat. Chill out everyone.
Most British food is awful, like terrible, yet nobody will admit it.
EDIT: A lot of people seem to think I’m not British. I am. Whenever I eat out, it’s foreign food for this guy. Keep your Sunday dinners to yourself.
Not sure what kind of British food you are talking about, but I pity you
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
Kippers are amazing. Add a little butter and Mmmmm. Also, canned mackeral fillets in tomato sauce are perfect on toast. It doesn't sound good, but it is extremely good.
I don’t enjoy eating 3 times a day, it’s a chore.
Then don’t. Follow what your body says, not the arbitrary rules others impose on you. As long as you’re well nourished and healthy, who TF cares if you only eat once a day?
I love to eat lemons the way that most people eat oranges. People act like that’s crazy, but it’s normal to eat citrus and normal to enjoy sour candy, so why not also eat a sour citrus?
I legitimately think Diet Coke has a better flavor than regular.
I don't drink the diet versions of any other drinks, but for whatever reason I just think Diet Coke has a better taste!
Chicken and fries require absolutely no sauce/ ketchup, if the chicken is juicy enough and the fries are cooked well, why add stuff to take the taste away? So pointless
I hate the texture and taste of avocado. Grass flavored Play Doh
Ty I thought it was just me Alvacado is gross I can't get past the texture sorry not sorry
East Asian noodles are way superior to Italian pasta. Both in the available variety and overall taste/texture. Most Italian pasta is the same thing cut into different shapes.
Approximately .5 ml of peppermint extract added to the mix for a pumpkin pie makes it next level delicious. The reason I consider this controversial is because no matter how many pies get consumed at Thanksgiving dinner with compliments, nobody else does this and I'm pretty sure people don't believe me.
Baked beans are disgusting.
I super hate cold pizza. You lose the flavor profile of the sauce and cheese. I need it piping hot
Hummus is absolute garbage. The different "flavors" are b.s., they all taste the same. Like a dirty armpit.
Soda is a superior beverage to wine or beer.
This is yet another post of people criticizing others for having their own opinion. We're allowed to like what we like.
What I like is pineapple on pizza, scrambled eggs with mushrooms, fresh fruit, and craft beer!
Load More Replies...My coffee-deprived brain read "samosas" as "mimosas" which seemed an odd accompaniment to curry...
Load More Replies...It's basically clickbait. And we keep clicking.
Load More Replies...Comedian Matteo Lane said it best. “Pickles are cucumbers soaking in their own píss.”
Normalise people liking what they want ffs. Who cares how people like their food?!
No one gonna mention all this beautiful cakes that's totally non-edible because of all the sugarpaste? No?
