It’s bizarre to think that if you’re, hypothetically speaking, forced to do something for all eternity, you’d wager it would be something that is also eternally painful or dull or, simply put, anything but pleasant. Well, eating is one thing we’re “doomed” to do for all eternity and so far most of us quite like it.

So much, in fact, that some even form very strong opinions about food, cuisine, and everything in between. And there’s been an AskReddit post about it, with thousands of people sharing their culinary hills they’d die on.

Bored Panda has collected some of the best opinions from the now-viral post, which currently clocks in at nearly 27,000 upvotes, 29,000 comments and 60 Reddit awards. Scroll down to check them out, and while you’re at it, vote on the ones you like and comment your strong opinions in the comment section below!

And don't bother the cook under the videos with questions like " I want to do the beef with pumpkin and carrots! Can i use pork instead of beef and put peppers and tomatoes instead of pumpkin and carrots? You can do whatever you want BUT IT'S NOT THE SAME RECIPE!

It's about some weird copyright laws in some countries. Very annoying, most people probably skip the 'biography' part, so apart from the copyright purpose this was wasted time. Ps. yesterday when looking for lasagne recipe I had to skip over world history of lasagne, a personal history of lasagne and author's philosophical exasperations - on lasagne, of course...

Also, the ingredients should be listed in the order they'll be used, not just randomly. The instructions should be written for a novice cook, specifying temperatures, times, pan and bowl sizes, utensils used, etc.

Probably just personal preference but if possible, make the instructions as easy to read as possible. Like have the steps listed 1. 2. 3. etc. instead of like essay format I have ADHD and that would make it easier for me to follow along and not skip things.

A couple of things: 1 - The book in the picture is f*****g brilliant. But it was never marketed as a cookbook. 2 - I don't mind reading a story around an online recipe, but for the love of God, include a link to skip to the recipe for the inevitable 2nd or 3rd time when I want to actually cook from the recipe and don't give a rat's ass about the story.

Alton Brown is different! He doesn't just give recipes, but includes a lot of the science behind it. Once you learn why it works you can experiment on your own. He's not just giving you a few recipes, he's teaching you how to cook.

Then don't buy a recipe book by Alton Brown. If you've watched the series Good Eats, you know that's what he does. I like the history/anthropology/chemistry/physics/biography/etc. Nobody's making you buy the book. If you don't like it, get something else rather than complain.

I don't mind it so much on books. I can always skip to the recipe. On videos, on the other hand, it drives me nuts. Cut to the chase already, and if I fast forward, I spend as much time trying to find the beginning as I do watching the useless "story" and the "subscribe, upvote, join Patreon, etc. etc."

Alton Brown is an acquired taste for sure! He trys to be the Bill Nye the science guy of food, basically he's Alton Brown the food dude, but unlike Bill Nye, Alton Brown has a tendency to rub people the wrong way, he goes into to much detail about aspects of Food and cooking that very few people care about, and for most viewers it's hard to watch his extra informative take on a traditional cooking show on television, let alone the same concept being translated into a cook book context, it's a disaster waiting to happen. I actually like him as a TV host when he is hosting competitions, his sharp demeanor and vast knowledge base are useful in certain environments , but it's not enjoyable when your trying to read a recipe , and it definitely isn't helpful to anybody.

There are few things on the Internet more annoying than clicking on a recipe and realizing you have to read someone's stupid blog article to get to it. No one cares about how you didn't cook in college and then went through a breakup and lost your instant pot forcing you to learn to actually cook. Just give me the stupid recipe!!!

Yes!!! I remember reading an article awhile back about how online chefs feel "hurt" and "ignored" when people skip through their whole backstory about how they learned the recipe and their reminiscences about past experiences cooking the recipes for friends/family. For God's sake, I'm just trying to cook dinner. Why the hell would I want to read your entire life story first? Get over yourself. Like the caption says, if you want to write an autobiography, then write an autobiography. Hungry people who need to have dinner ready in less than an hour don't have time to read your entire life story, and frankly I think it's pretty narcissistic of you to assume that we'd be interested. If you find that "hurtful" then you're in the wrong business.

The autobiography is actually a cleverly hidden message containing "buzz-words" which are then targeted by search engines aimed to get you to the site and therefore increase traffic. It's like mad-libs but for internet traffic. Most are made up stories.

The problem is SEO protocols treat longer pages as more reliable sources. When you want your recipe to be viewed you need to write a multi page essay in order for Google Bing or any other search engines to think it's a quality resource worth displaying.

Person Online Asked “What Culinary Hill Are You Willing To Die On?”, 40 People Delivered I live in the Midwest, I love the Midwest but just because you call something a salad does not mean it is healthy and an acceptable side dish to your main course. Snicker-marshmallow-mayo-whatever is not salad.

I melt a little peanut butter mixed with a tiny bit of soy sauce and add it to stir fry. LOVE IT! Especially if you have chicken in the stir fry too.

Person Online Asked “What Culinary Hill Are You Willing To Die On?”, 40 People Delivered The moment something gets hyped as a superfood, I'm out.

To clarify, "superfood" is a buzzword that cues bulls**t incoming and rising prices. The author loses all credibility. It's the point where I stop reading and close the window. Might look up the stats for the food afterward from an actual resource such as a university's nutrition summary.

Unless they're grown in your yard. Then eat them like an apple. Tomatoes you grow yourself are 1000 times better and don't need anything.

Person Online Asked “What Culinary Hill Are You Willing To Die On?”, 40 People Delivered Often doing things “the right way” or “from scratch” just isn’t worth it. There are plenty of shortcuts that give you 90% of the result with 50% of the effort. I’ll take those shortcuts just about every time.

You can make pastry from scratch, or you can buy it frozen in a packet. Apart from being able to say "I made it myself", nobody at home is going to know, and you just saved yourself a hour's work. ;-)

No. Use less salt. Most people just put too much in because they don't season any other way.

The hate for msg is just based on anti asian racism. A doctor invented the idea that it produced headaches with 0 proof whatsoever. This was used as an excuse to attack asian restaurants while many other "western" products have msg. It is been proven since then that what he claimed was a lie.
