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.
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.
Pineapples. Pizza. Delicious together
My hot take. EVERYONE likes pineapple on pizza, those that claim they don't are just being difficult.
Here is a crazy concept: Just top the Pizza with stuff you like and ignore what others do. Problem solved! Now about my Peace Nobel prize nomination...
Instead of splitting the difference, can we all agree that banana on pizza is a no-no? With the exception for scaling purpose only.
Whaaat? Hell no! Beef, banana, pepperoni and jalapeños. That's how you make a pizza!

it is delicious. also for a fun sweet/savory combo, order white pizza with pineapple. the garlic and pineapple together are fantastic
Love pineapple on pizza, so glad I can now get pizza without red sauce.
Pretty sure people that say it's not good just don't like pineapple, which is fair. I love getting pineapple and some kind of hot peppers, spicy sweet pizza...yes please!
The pineapple tends to get too warm for my liking so I don't eat it
Love it sometimes u may not feel like all that salty pepperoni and stuff just something good and simple don't knock it until you try it
I used to make a delightful red beef (cubes like stew) that featured chunks of pineapple. I think it was call Fire and Ice.
I feel like it's fine if you don't like it, just don't get mad at the people who do like it.
Depends on the tomato sauce (not too much of it and a bit spicy is my preference) and what else is on the pizza.
Aww FUCKKK no. I’m ITALIAN. Italians CREATED pizza and most of us find this disgusting and a complete disgrace to our culture. Actually, at most of the restaurants in my town that aren’t tourist traps, if you ask for this you WILL be stared at in disgust. Some Italians find this an insult and will forever hate you if you like this. I can’t speak for ALL Italians, of course, but it’s still pretty gross for most of us.
Upvoted... oh wait, you're being serious.... maybe?

Down in Italy, "The home of Pizza", you can order a pizza with the ordinary (ham, cheese and tomato sauce) plus strawberries and kiwi. And don't even get me started on the ones I've seen in USA - I've seen people order pizza with a whole hamburger meal on it, heck even hot dogs. AND PEOPLE ARE READY TO COMPLAIN ABOUT PIINEAPPLES???
Every time I hear someone complain "You can't have fruit on a pizza", I just stare them blank in the eyes and say "You know tomato is a fruit, right?"
Tomatoes are fruits. Pineapples are fruits. It depends on what the rest of the pizza is set up as. I like Thai Chicken pizza, with satay sauce. I like Grilled Shrimp pizza with BBQ sauce. I've had breakfast pizza with poached eggs, chilaquiles, pulled pork, and pico de gallo.
I once saw a chef grill the pineapple a little before adding it to the top of the pizza, until it gets golden, and it's just delicious. If you like pineapple in your pizza, try it.
From the King Terry Pratchett, " There is such a thing as an edible, nay delicious, meat pie floater, its mushy peas of just the right consistency, its tomato sauce piquant in its cheekiness, its pie filling tending even towards named parts of the animal. There are platonic burgers made of beef instead of cow lips and hooves. There are fish ‘n’ chips where the fish is more than just a white goo lurking at the bottom of a batter casing and you can’t use the chips to shave with. There are hot dog fillings which have more in common with meat than mere pinkness, whose lucky consumers don’t apply mustard because that would spoil the taste.It’s just that people can be trained to prefer the other sort, and seek it out. It’s as if Machiavelli had written a cookery book. Even so, there is no excuse for putting pineapple on pizza.
How many pineapples haters have experienced only those huge chunks of too hot pineapple from the cheapest can wich burn your mouth like lava. I like pineapple in pizza but only those small tiny pieces.
No thx ew, what's next are you going to put a banana and peach on top?
I don’t like pineapples, I love pizza, together is just too odd for me. *continues dipping cucumber in ketchup and grated cheddar cheese*
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.

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!

My coffee-deprived brain read "samosas" as "mimosas" which seemed an odd accompaniment to curry...

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?
