Food can be a very emotional topic. A cozy, home-cooked meal that your mother made for you as a child can immediately fill you with comfort and nostalgia, while a simple, cold sandwich might remind you of your days as a student, forced to eat as budget-friendly as possible. 

But regardless of what we like to eat, we all have at least one controversial opinion about food that we might keep to ourselves, for fear of judgment from others. Redditors have recently been opening up about their most unpopular culinary opinions, so we’ve gathered some of the hottest takes down below. Enjoy reading through these opinions that might get you heated, and be sure to upvote the ones that you secretly agree with!

“They’re Just Crunchy Vinegar”: 50 Unhinged And Unfiltered Food Opinions The "pineapple on pizza is just wrong" argument is b******t. Eat whatever combination of food tastes good to you. I don't like country music but I don't give a damn if YOU do.

It's funny people complain about pineapple on pizza because it is a fruit, but still eat it with tomatoes, jalapenos, green peppers, and black olives.

    It's not going to upset me if someone orders their steak as dry, overcooked shoe leather, but I will let them know that redness of the meat has nothing to do with blood. Cows have their blood drained before it is cut into pieces. The redness is a protein called heme, and it's what gives beef its flavor. You want all the flavor cooked our, go right on ahead, it's your loss.

    To be fair, I have been pescetarian for nearly half a decade now, but even before that, I could never imagine eating any meat anything but well done. I don't even like watching people eat it. There is just something about the consistency of raw meat that makes my teeth hurt. Also I have eaten beef fully cooked many times and it always tasted aggressive like beef, so much so that beef is like the only meat taste that I can still remember. I have never eaten like a thick stake stake before

    To find out how this conversation started in the first place, we reached out to Reddit user Deathbykoolaidman, who invited others to share their unpopular opinions about food. In their post, the OP noted that they despise pickles and that they refuse to use ketchup as an ingredient in a recipe (though they will eat it as a condiment).

    As far as what inspired Deathbykoolaidman to start this thread, they told Bored Panda, "I was just curious. I had been hated on for my pickle opinion by many people and wanted to see what other crazy food opinions the people of the internet had."

    I have to admit that I always hated pickles too until I was about 18 years old, so I can sympathize!

    We also asked the OP if they had any other controversial opinions about food, aside from hating pickles and refusing to cook with ketchup. "I prefer cake with either very little, or no frosting at all," they shared. "It’s sickly sweet, gets stuck in my mouth and makes your hands messy. Perfectly good cupcakes get overpowered when giant dollops of frosting are piled on the top."

    “They’re Just Crunchy Vinegar”: 50 Unhinged And Unfiltered Food Opinions Authenticity doesn’t matter. Nothing is authentic. Everything has been and will be adapted to fit local availability and taste. Authenticity is a way for people to pretend like they know something about a culture or place and seem “cool”. For most dishes you’ll can ask a dozen people in the original area how they make it and you’ll get a dozen answers.

    I was going to come on here and say something like "except for recipes handed down from my mother's family" but had second thoughts about saying it. I hate to admit it but this person is right. I've altered or adjusted the couple of recipes I make on a regular basis, mostly the order of adding ingredients or baking time. I've also done the same to recipes out of cookbooks that I've been making for decades (I really need to write down some of these adjustments sometime).

    My great Granny's pancakes started out with 2 cups of flour, 1 teaspoon of yeast, 1 cup of sugar, 1 egg, and as much milk as needed to make the right thickness of batter. Grandma changed the recipe from using yeast to self raising flour. My Mam switched from full fat milk to semi-skimmed. Then I came along, and cut the amount of sugar to half a cup, and then a third of a cup. Later, I changed the SR flour to gluten-free SR flour, and most recently, the milk; it's now oat milk. There was one ingredient that had remained the same, the egg. From time to time, that is replaced with 1 tablespoon of chia seeds, soaked in 3 tablespoons of water. These pancakes are, and always have been, authentic. They've changed and evolved over time, but they are authentically our family pancakes.

    This is very true. People use what's cheap and available for most of the dishes they cook, and they substitute all the time or create new dishes when new ingredients become available. The potato started their journey around the world and got integrated in every single cuisine you can find as long as the climate allows to grow potatoes. Same for chili peppers or other ingredients. And people brought their cuisine to other countries and changed it when some ingredients were not available. It wasn't white Americans who invented fortune cookies, it was a Chinese immigrant, so saying they're 'not authentic ' is just stupid. And no native at home will be harmed if you cook a dish from their culture at home. That has literally no impact on them and doesn't take away from their life or income. Quite the opposite. The ingredients are commonly sold by people of that culture, who will profit if more people like their food and buy their ingredients.

    I don't agree. I see authentic food recipes as a reference point that I can use to better understand the agreed "standard". I can then make my own variations, but the "authentic" recipe gives you a coordinate system. For example there is a society for Neapolitan Pizza that defines exactly how it should be prepared, down to where the tomatoes need to be grown and how they need to be squashed by hand. It may sound ridiculous, but if you master it, it gives you a great starting point from where you can explore other styles.

    To have something "spicy" does not always mean hot, because there are many spices with intense flavours that are not really hot. Strong, yes, but not hot. A good recipe will balance flavours properly by treating food items and flavourings in the right way, such as roasting spice seeds, or pre-frying ginger (try it) to get specific effects. It is always a mistake to use the complete spice drawer in a dish, when two main spices with just a hint of one or two others will have the best result.

    So, asking as someone who doesn't speak English natively, what's the difference between spicy and seasoned then? Are not all seasonings spices? I know their are herbs as well, but they are also in lists of spices a lot. I guess salt is not a spice, but a seasoning.

    Spice done well can transform food into a near religious experience. I had this epiphany when I was in my early 20's eating the spiciest Thai green curry I'd ever had. The difference in this meal was the fact that the flavor was so ridiculously good that EVERY SINGLE BITE required a conscious acknowledgement of "this is going to hurt...but it's so good...f**k it...one more." It was a unicorn meal that I'll never forget.

    Some flavors require the heat that comes with them. A serrano tastes different from a habenero tastes different from a naga jolokia tastes different from a malagueta. Yes, they can be quite painfully hot, but the pain is part of it. The pain causes an endorphin release and the flavor cannot be had without the heat. Sure, I could eat corn mush and pretend it's tasty but it just isn't. I want my food to talk when I eat it.

    I use a TINY pinch of red pepper flakes in many of my soups and stews, the heat accents the other flavours. But I hate overly hot dishes that simply burn my mouth and stomach. There's no flavour, just misery. What's the point of putting any other ingredients in if you can't taste them? The people I know who eat these hot foods also seem to have no tastebuds left to appreciate delicate flavours either, they consider everything 'bland' or 'tasteless' because they simply cant taste the more ephemeral flavours.

    After you have something spicy enough times, you get desensitized to it. So don't ever say "it's not even that spicy" to someone who only feels the burn if you eat spicy food a lot.

    As far as why people are so passionate about their food opinions, Deathbykoolaidman says it's only natural. "Of course you’ll think your opinion is right! It’s like how everybody insists their grandma made the best cookies or apple pie," they explained. "You grew up with it, so you’ll assume it’s the only right answer. However, some people got very angry over other peoples opinions, and it’s like, just let people live!"

    Most sweet desserts, especially in the US, actually have far too much sugar which overpowers the complexity of flavours. Icing sugar is particularly nasty in this regard. You don't need it.

    In 2020, Ireland ruled that Subway's bread is classified as cake. In 1972, the Value-Added Tax Act determined that the amount of sugar in bread shouldn't exceed 2% of the weight of the flour in bread. Anything in excess of that amount is cake.

I never understand why a "low calorie" version of something has to be even sweeter than the original - couldn't they just, you know, put less sugar in it?

    The amount of solid vegetable shortening (I can't do lard) is dictated by the complexity of the cake decoration, heat/humidity of the weather. Shortenings melt point is much higher so it stays solid at higher temperatures. But totally agree if you're just slapping an every day cake together than I'm totally with you and don't do shortening. And don't get me started about fondant. Makes beautiful cakes but that $hit is nasty!!

    The pickle thing was me like 5 years ago. I went 40 years of my life hating f*****g pickles. No kind of pickled vegetable. It was gross as hell to me. If a pickle was even on food, it ruined it for me, but I accidentally ate them plenty of times. Hated em every time. One day, a restaurant gave me the wrong order, gave me a bunch of cheeseburgers extra mustard and pickles, I was already home, and hungry as hell...so I ate them. And they were really, really good. And I've been slowly acquiring more of a taste for pickles since. Food is weird man.

    I love whole pickles from the jar, especially from the fridge when they're cold and crunchy. But I don't like them as much in burgers because 90% of the time they're warm and slimy. I usually pick them out and eat them separately first before they get too warm. Sometimes I'll ask for no pickles depending on my mood 😅

People who make their families a main curry dish and veg side dishes (as well as bread/rice) on a daily basis from scratch in a home kitchen use it as more economical, less waste to dispose of, and quicker, for a perfectly acceptable taste.

    Chili is just a spice. Like most spices, it works great in certain types of dishes, but can ruin others. Your ability to stomach various chilis or hot sauces is not that interesting, and far from enough to serve as a corner stone of a personality. We never hear people obsess about sage, nutmeg, star anise, or dill, but with chili it’s a different story.

    Chili is essential, it deserves more credit and that fact that famous spicy dishes are courtesy of Mexican Pre-Columbian culture. No chili, tomato or potato before it was stolen from the Americas.

She passed away in 1988, and you are the only other person I've ever heard/read using that phrase. Brought back beautiful memories of my beautiful Mom.

    “They’re Just Crunchy Vinegar”: 50 Unhinged And Unfiltered Food Opinions I don’t understand the hype about avocado. The taste, the texture, the color. It’s all horrible to me. I can maybe get behind guacamole, if properly done and there’s no chunks of avocado in there, but otherwise, please just keep it far from me.

    Food texture can be as off-putting as food taste. I can't eat gritty, bitty food like couscous, brown rice, lentils (unless blended into soup or stew), bulgar wheat like you get in tabbouleh etc. I find the textures unpleasant. One of my children is the same with anything soft and slimy like avocado. He loves carrot raw and crunchy, loves it blended into soup, but cooked and mashed, the texture and mouthfeel is wrong and nauseating for him.

I finally told her "Can you just boil fresh ones or microwave the frozen ones, then add a little butter and Montreal steak seasoning? I can't taste the sprouts the way you make them." The sad part is, I'm the only one who eats them so I don't know why she tries to make them fancy.

    Probably because 99% of commercially available tomatoes are grown to look pretty, stand up to cross-country shipping, and be shelf stable for a long time, not for something as minor (/s) as flavor.

    When I found out you aren't supposed to put them in the fridge that made a big difference in the taste but then when someone told me to always put a little salt on it to bring out the flavor... Amazing. Even basic grocery tomatoes taste a lot better. Obviously, ones fresh from a garden or farm are even better than that.

    It's so rare to find flavoursome tomatoes these days. Probably varies depending on where you are and where you can afford to shop, but round these parts anyway there can be 5 or 6 types of tomato on the shelf and they really only differ in size and shape. Every few weeks one might come in that really tastes tomatoey. I've tried growing them in the garden too and they aren't really any better - I think the varietals that are hardy enough for the climate (and probably also for the plant trade) are just rubbish.

    Perhaps thankfully I've never seen these, but quite clearly if it's boneless it's not a chicken wing but a processed chicken product. Wings also have skin which is best if it's crispy and well seasoned, and different textures of the meat as you pick it off the bones. Mmmm.

Also my great-grandmother, who was FROM Mexico, made tacos by filling a soft tortilla with ingredients, folding it over, "pinning" it closed with toothpicks, and then frying it. GASP!

Lol, O swear that's how that was created. In middle school, we just went ahead and crushed them and made our own. Granted at this time, the taco salad wasn't a mandatory menu item at this time.

    The biggest problem with home cooking is that very few people add enough salt. It's not about making it salty, it's about enhancing the flavours. When I eat in other people's houses or in restaurants I never add salt until I taste it first. I love when I don't need to reach for or add salt and 100% of the times when I think it doesn't require salt, no one else mentions anything about it being too salty but instead raves about how amazing it is. If I do end up adding salt to a dish after it has been served to me,in public, I get nothing but comments from other people about how I eat far too much salt.

    When I had childhood pica, I'd literally put salt on paper and eat it. Luckily I've mostly have grown outta the pica, though I do enjoy foods that texturally remind me of non-food items. ( Candies that are basically eating chalk, like mints, candy hearts, etc. or seaweed sheets that are like crunching on paper, that sort of thing. )

    I very rarely add salt to my homecooked food. If I do, all I can taste is the salt. I can't taste the wonderful veggies etc. It's the actual taste of those veggie I like, not the weird salted version. If a person finds their food undersalted, they can add some salt, but it can't be removed from a dish.

    After being diagnosed with high blood pressure and NEVER adding salt to anything at the table and using half or less of what recipie calls for while cooking, I have learned to taste first and only add to enhance certain foods. Same goes for steak or BBQ sauce, if the meat was seasoned and cooked right it shouldn't need sauce, or very little if any.

    Cook pasta in salt water until it's nearly done, then cook the last, like, 3 to 5 minutes of it in your sauce. And add some of the pasta water. Makes the flavors blend much more evenly

    Baking's not that hard and the degree to which it's an exact science is wildly overrated. Unless you're a professional it's just unlikely you'll ever get a comparable amount of baking experience vs cooking such that you can improvise. The major tricky difference is just that there's no trying the product partway through to know if you're on the right track. But there's plenty of reasonable leeway if you know what you're doing.

    You know you're supposed to season your rice, right? Also, it depends what you're serving with them. When cooked properly most rice types will absorb the flavour of the sauces and curries you pair them with. Use cauliflower if you want, it's a good way to get in extra veg, but look up what rice you need (boil in the bag sucks) and how to cook and season it properly depending on what you're making.

    Take tomatoe slices in a container and add them before eating. Or don't put the tomato next to the cream, have lettuce or meat, or cheese, or grated carrot or....you get the idea, in between. .......really great sandwich hint, don't put your mayo/mustard etc, on the bread with the butter, put it on the sliced cheese, and then your meat, followed by the rest...it will taste so different

They are the worst kind, its so slimy and soft and SLIMY and MUSHY and overall a gag-worthy food As long as i can see the onions in any food, it just immediately ruins the food for me, cos i will continuously search for the onions, i might not bother eating it anymore but if i'm interested in the food, I'm just gonna eat it one by one

    I don't like the smell, I don't like the taste, I don't like the crunch. That's for all onions, but my most hated is the white vidalia. It's said that that type is sweeter and milder, but I find cutting into one of those is like taking a deep breath over a pot of hot vinegar. Cooked till completely soft is the only way I don't go into full body shudders. It's always been that way, and I've never been able to change my mind.

    “They’re Just Crunchy Vinegar”: 50 Unhinged And Unfiltered Food Opinions When pancakes, waffles, or French toast get saturated with syrup, the texture is disgusting. These foods are far better topped with something less likely to absorb, such as peanut butter, jam, whipped cream, or Nutella.

    And MSG "condemnation" is the same fashionable in thing as falsely avoiding gluten, or any other "imagined" food allergies". It is one thing to avoid something that really makes you sick but... condemning something because your sister's next door neighbors cousin is allergic to it is just plain ignorant

    MSG is naturally occurring. Mushrooms, for instance are loaded with MSG, as are many vegetables, including corn and tomatoes. Cheese also naturally has loads of MSG....but it's also an ingredient in pretty much every bit of fast and processed food on the market. Which means you're ignorant to the fact that you like it, and getting an attitude about those of us who don't buy into the decades old, racist smear campaign that somehow still persists.

    Just be aware that the amount of glutamate in mushrooms varies massively. Died Shiitake are just over 1% (1060mg per 100grams) while white button mushrooms are 180mg per 100grams (so about 0.18%). As for cheese it's the aged ones like paramesan and roquefort and they're still under 2%. Cheddar is about 0.18%. Tomatoes are about 0.25% and corn is 0.1%. So to put that in perspective, if you added a teaspoon of msg to your food you're getting roughly 4grams of msg. You'd need 400grams of shiitake mushrooms to match that. Or over 2kilos of button mushrooms or cheddar cheese. Or roughly 4kg of corn.

    Everyone ive ever met gets REALLY upset when i say i dont like peanut butter. its not entirely true, as i like peanut butter in a single application: peanut butter and pickle sandwiches. which they think im unhinged for. apparently its a common pregnancy craving. i think i just crave it because i have a chronic salt deficiency, unless ive been pregnant for (checks notes) 8 years. i also dont like chocolate very much at all. white chocolate is better. anyway, as someone who is a fiend for pickles, i never get upset when someone doesnt like pickles. it just means more for me!

    Since I have eaten cake and pie for breakfast before, I wil say I think that pancakes, waffles, and french toast are a poor substitute for dessert. Also, since breakfast means breaking your fast, you should be able to do it any way you like, not just how modern society thinks you should, whether it is with eggs, cake, or left over pizza.

    I feel the way you feel about pickle about tomatoes *specifically* on sandwiches. I like tomato. I can pop cherry tomatoes as a snack.

    I feel the same way about baked macaroni and cheese. I’ve yet to have one that wasn’t kinda cold, kinda mushy, and tasteless. I like super hot, straight from the saucepan, creamy, slightly tangy, and with a semi-firm noodle (giggity, giggity).

    Melons ruin everything they come into contact with. Everything smells and tastes like the melon and I will refuse to eat any fruit that touches it. Watermelon on the other hand is delicious. Unless, of course, it comes into contact with cantaloupe or honeydew. (Those are the 2 types I'm familiar with, maybe another variety would taste better to me).

    I agree! I can't do any sort of melon! Everyone thinks I'm weird but it's just the texture, and the taste. I've liked melon exactly once in my life, when I was at youth group and we had "melon-fest" (aka let's destroy a few trailers of watermelon seconds) and I ate a chunk from a melon I catapulted, and it was good, but that was it.

    Chocolate and fresh fruit are a bad combo texture-wise. Raspberries, strawberries, or Rasberry coulis on chocolate torte, chocolate cake, chocolate mousse, etc, is amazing and you should try it. If the chocolate dessert is too rich or sweet or heavy, raspberry coulis transforms it amazingly.

    Authentic Neapolitan style pizza is overrated. It’s a soupy soggy mess with little to no texture. You can’t eat it by hand because it falls apart. Those little bits of cheese pull off the pizza with every bite leaving the next bite just tomato and bread. The best Neapolitan compared to the worst isn’t far off. They’re almost all the same.

    Careful with the "authentic" there. Even in Italy there's a difference of opinion about what a pizza should be like. Pizza Romana is a very different beast from the Napolitana, and is often served in slices to be eaten by hand. Mostly, outside of those areas, it's the Naples style that holds sway, and is also what you're more likely to get in Switzerland and France, IME.

    I use cereal as an ice cream topping. It's already kind of desserty, might as well make it part of a dessert. Cinnamon toast crunch on chocolate ice cream is amazing

    Pepper doesn't deserve to share the spotlight with salt.

    Someone is eating pre ground pepper. Fresh ground is the best.

    Pepper should be freash ground, that powdered stuff is pointless.

    I have watched people pepper their mashed potatoes until all you can see is pepper, and add more to keep the potato hidden as they eat. If they don't like the taste of potato, why not just spoon the pepper directly into the mouth. I like what food tastes like as it is, or perhaps just a little tingle. Also, people who adulterate coffee with cream and sugar are barbarians.

    And you, damned, should NEVER buy premixed pepper seeds. That deprives you of knowing them personally, all in their own right being delicious, while mixing them just leaves you ONE average taste of a few variants. Useless crep!

    There’s this restaurant I go to that’s known for their thin sliced open faced steak sandwiches. The bread is on the bottom and is soggy and delicious. Also, London Broil with soggy bread on the bottom is awesome. I haven’t had that in years though.

    I just threw up in my mouth a little thinking of wet bread. It's one of the textural issues I have with food. I can't eat ice cream with pie or cake either, it has to be on separate dishes because I can't chance it getting soggy.

    I thought I was the only one - I love buttered toast dipped in milk! Also, buttered toast plus peanut butter dipped in milk. *And yes, I always butter my toast before adding peanut butter (or jelly, or cream cheese), it makes it soooo salty and delicious, just make sure the toast is hot so the butter melts completely before adding anything else.

    I have a food conspiracy theory: I am reluctant to eat sushi from a place that does too many spicy rolls, because I am convinced that they add the “spicy” to hide the fact that their fish is going off.

    Jolly Ranchers are something I've never eaten, but there are a number of artificial food flavourings that taste (to me) nothing like the food they are imitating. Apple, banana and strawberry are right at the top of the list. I like all three fruits, but the artificial versions are horrible.

    Italian food is some of the easiest food to cook, Italians i think make it sound hard because they’re not very good.

    All food is easy to cook. Food that tastes good, consistently, not always so easy.

    Try making your own pasta and mozzarella from scratch, then come back to me saying it's easy. I've only ever made pasta from scratch one time (for my brother's birthday), and the amount of work involved with it made me appreciate Italian cuisine even more.

    It's labour intensive, not difficult. I've been around Italians enough to learn a bit and it's food usually based in the quality and freshness of the ingredients, but not complicated to make. French cuisine is much more "sophisticated" imo (l still prefer Italian)
