Someone In This Online Group Asked “What’s Your Stupidest Cooking Opinion So We Can All Fight About It?” And 23 People Joined The Thread
Do you also get really annoyed when someone is in the kitchen while you are cooking or cleaning up? And are horrified when people pour milk first and then put in cereal? Do you feel the urge to correct a person who seems to know what they are doing but are doing it wrong?
It seems that the kitchen attracts a lot of frustration and people can argue about food and cooking for hours. Reddit user rawlingstones know this human trait and when they posed the questions of “What’s your stupidest cooking opinion” they also added “so we can fight about it?”
The fight in the thread was pretty civilised despite some pretty controversial opinions being thrown around. Are there any in this list that you agree with? What is a food opinion that you will fight about? Let us know in the comments!

Pineapple on pizza is actually quite nice and the roasted sweetness complements the salty dish.
Every part of green onions is USEABLE! The green and the white! Both! Yes! Use the whole things >:) yes!
A lot of American home cooking dessert recipes are way too sweet.
To a child of 5, they're probably delicious. To an adult of 55? Yuck.
I hate when people leave the tails on shrimp especially in pasta dishes. Why not just remove it all?
I don’t care if someone salts the food that I made them before or after trying it. As long as they enjoy it, I’m happy.
I hate measuring in cups and ounces. Give me them grams
For liquids, volume is fine. For solids, it has to be weight. A cup of packed flour is nowhere even remotely close to a cup of sifted.
Sweet potatoes are better when prepared savory.
MUCH. Why take something that is already sweet...and make it disgustingly sickly sweet?
I've never eaten a dish that was made better by truffle oil.
Overwhelming taste and smell. Used solely to add 20% to the price of the dish
Using fresh tomatoes for a tomato sauce is a waste of time. Stop being bougie and used canned.
Unless you have a garden and a surplus of tomatoes.
Generations have been brainwashed into thinking they cannot bake a cake or make brownies or muffins or macaroni and cheese without a box mix.
Wrapping things in bacon is the best way to ruin any food. Welcome to this stringy wet meat blanket that only tastes like floppy ding ding and not like what you tried to put it on to begin with.
Bacon has a prominent flavor. It's going to be star of whatever you put it in so let it be crisp and delicious and not an accurate representation of your uncle's soggy love for you.
AKA STOP WRAPPING BACON AROUND THINGS
You must used overnight refrigerated rice to make good chinese fried rice.
Dividing fillings for sandwiches between two slices of bread first and then flipping it together don't make sense (unless they are viscous enough like PB&J) . Just pile it all on one slice and top it off with the last slice so things don't fall out
Greek yogurt is not a reasonable swap in all the recipes where you would usually use sour cream.
Red onions are really purple and they are only suitable for cold or room temperature food preparations.
Much of Trader Joe's frozen food offerings are delicious and nutritious. They are not examples of insipid cultural appropriation.
Garlic presses *aren’t* all that bad. Yes, sometimes there’s no use for them and I do hate single use devices, but they have their purpose.
Simply mixing everything together at once for baking rather than mixing dry ingredients and wet ingredients separately is good enough most the time.
I cannot make a burger as good as ones in my favorite restaurants so burgers are exclusively going out foods, not cook at home foods.
olives are disgusting :/
I keep trying them every 5 years or so, just in case my taste buds magically changed. 54 years old and it has not happened yet.
