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.

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.

Yeah, I don't get why people complain about wanting to eat breakfast foods for dinner...but not about wanting to eat *anything other than the socially accepted set of breakfast foods* for breakfast. Breakfast is far more restrictive in terms of terms of the foods you're supposed to eat, and you want to keep to those restrictions throughout the day?

Had look up what tater tots were. Other than an occasional 'full English' with hash browns, I don't think many Brits would think of anything like that for breakfast. Lightly boiled eggs with soldiers for me.

If I had fries with a meal the night before, and there's more than I want at that time, I keep them for the next day, chop them up and re-fry them in butter/oil and make my own 'hash brown'. Never wast fries.

My grannie had a small convenience store before they were called that. She cooked burgers for the loggers and other rural workers. I would beg her to make me a hamburger before the school bus came. Sometimes it worked. I was a happy child then. Or, happy until I got to school.

By definition “breakfast” merely means “breaking fast”. Whatever you eat as your first food of the day, no matter what time it is you consume it, is breakfast.

It's a matter of habit. In the morning I drink cappuccino with a pastry (if I am not dieting), but drink coffee (Espresso) the rest of the day. I never have salty/savory foods for breakfast, but I'll gladly eat eggs and bacon for dinner. Free country and all that.

My Auntie was the director of Nursing a rather large hospital and she chose predominantly to do the night shift. My cousins would wake up every morning to a full “Dinner” for breakfast basically. They would then have a snack or something light for tea. My five cousins became A international human rights lawyer, a Neurosurgeon, an Aeronautical engineer and a RAAF fighter pilot.

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
