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.

    “They’re Just Crunchy Vinegar”: 50 Unhinged And Unfiltered Food Opinions I’ll never understand people who get so up in arms about how other people get their steak cooked. I personally wouldn’t get my steak well done but I sure don’t give af if someone else does…I’m not eating it; it’s not my food. Who cares.

    I appear to be in the minority but I agree with the op. I like mine medium rare but I really couldn't care less about how someone else eats their steak. Taste is by definition highly subjective so who am I to tell anyone their taste is wrong.

    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).

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Lay the tomatoes on a paper towel and salt lightly. This will draw out some of the moisture, pat dry. One of the best sandwiches I've ever had was a thick slice of fresh tomato on white bread, touch of mayo and pepper. This is a "low country" food, specifically the southern US, especially Georgia and the Carolinas. (Got it from the movie, "Midnight in the Garden of Good & Evil").

    Toast your bread. Do it in a toaster. Slather it with mayo or butter and then fry it in a pan. Fry the bread in bacon grease. Point is make it crispy....and then the building plans are thus: Bread, lettuce, tomato, meat, other veg/condiment, lettuce, bread. Tomato only makes a sandwich soggy if YOU are BAD at making sandwiches

    Put the top slice on right before you eat it. I think tomatoes are beautiful, and might enjoy them fried, but don't see them as usually tasty.

    I don't understand why people don't take the insides/seeds out of their tomatoes. That's the part that's making your sandwich wet. We take the seeds out of most other things (peppers, cantaloupe, squash, etc.) but not tomatoes.

    Try spreading the bread slices with butter, just enough to coat the bread, it helps keep sandwiches from getting soggy. Also don’t place the tomato slices next to the bread, buffer them with lettuce, cheese, meat, that helps too.

    I usually remedy that by either toast my bread/buns (for burgers), or rearrange the layer. Bread, condiment 1 (usually mayo), meat, tomato, cheese/lettuce, condiment 2 (either mayo again, mustard, or sriracha), bread.

    I feel the way you feel about pickle about tomatoes *specifically* on sandwiches. I like tomato. I can pop cherry tomatoes as a snack. But NOTHING ruins a sandwich for me more than sliced tomato on it. Now it’s all I can taste, none of the meats, cheeses or spreads; just wet overwhelming tomato flavor.

    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).

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.
