What are your unpopular opinions about food?
I'll start:
1. When bad pizza is bad, it's BAD, it's not good.
2. I love Arby's.
3. Fast Food restaurants should go back to marketing themselves like crazy to kids.
Food ? Pfft ! Who needs it ?
MovieChat Forums > General Discussion > What are your unpopular opinions about f...
1.) I hate meat and potatoes for dinner. Particularly if steak is involved.
2.) I can't stand biscuits and gravy for breakfast. They gross me out.
3.) I like exotic foods.
4.) Apple pie is not my favorite pie, or dessert.
5.) The smell of fish doesn't bother me, for some reason.
6.) I can't stand KFC chicken, it grosses me out.
7.) Not a big fan of ribs.
I'm on board with your last 5 answers.
For myself:
- All citrus fruit is disgusting, too sour and smells like it's already rotten.
- Raw foods are almost intolerable. Cook everything.
- Tomatoes and onions are vastly overrated and frustratingly ubiquitous in every cuisine.
- Fast food places should improve their menus by offering green veggie sides. I'd actually buy them.
- Most foods taste just as good at room temperature.
Yellow onions that have been either chopped very fine, or minced, dried, and mixed into meat taste very good. Green onions are great for flavoring certain foods too, such as Chinese, Easy Cheesy Bowtie casserole, and Japanese food. Raw, that's another story. I don't try eating either raw.
It's red onions I can't stand. I don't like the texture, and they burn the back of your throat slightly when eating them. They turn me off if I see them on my burger, and I end up picking them out before eating said [cheese]burger.
Red onions are from Hell. That fuming burn is too much. I think the texture of raw foods is what puts me off. It's too waxy, too chewy, or just plain slimy. I hate that soft crunch of raw vegetables. Other onions smell nice and make good seasoning, but I wouldn't want them in the final meal.
shareI’d be happy if all food were replaced by a pill. I hate thinking about food. I am very fussy about taste, quality ingredients, food contamination and good preparation. It’s expensive, time consuming and the source of family disagreements. Life would be simpler if hunger were as easily satiated as thirst.
shareThey have those liquid meals that come in a bottle and taste pleasantly umami, a bit like cake batter.
shareFood is simultaneously lovely and bothersome.
shareVeganism
That word/term even without any context gets most people’s backs up immediately, which is a shame.
I don't like all the oil they put in their foods; it's not healthy at all.
shareSurely that depends on the food/dish....is it processed food you are referring to?
Any examples?
Pretty much any food they make that involves oil. Go to the Flaming Vegan website and read up on their recipes. You'll see what I mean. And I have yet to see a thin Vegan, by the way.
shareThat’s very interesting thank you, I will have a look.
I do think that eating out and processed foods in the majority, when eaten regularly contribute to everyone’s weight and health, regardless of their dietary choices. Both these types of eating experiences often involve lots of additives including oil, that people wouldn’t necessarily use in those amounts at home.
However I see that the site you’ve referred me to is a blog so collates more home-made foods/recipes. I think in general, different oils are often used in vegan recipes to either replace fats found in animal products or to replace the properties of animal products that either bind or act as ‘mouth feel’ etc to foods. If vegans also generally consume less calories/foods less calorific, oils from plants will provide those calories etc.
It’s very interesting that you say you’ve never seen a thin vegan! I think a vegan person can be any body shape and size.....like anyone else; veganism isn’t about being thin. There seems to be plenty of vegan foods to make people put on weight, especially if they eat too much/ eat too much of the ‘wrong’ things and don’t exercise.
Restaurants should cut back on the amount of salt they use. Most restaurant food tastes too salty. Let people salt food to their individual tastes.
shareIt's true, I heard about this in all my nutrition classes, and honestly, they really do use too much salt. And on top of that, we have salt-shakers on the table to add to that!
shareI love McDonald's and pineapple does NOT belong on a pizza.
Oh yeah, and liverwurst is goooood!
Soft drinks should be outlawed! They are garbage in a can. They are so bad for you in so many ways. An occasional soda is okay but people like my mom guzzle a twelve pack in a few days.
The soda irritates the ulcer she has from all the prescriptions she has to take. I tell her, "drink water!".
But if she doesn't have a twelve pack (or two) of Diet Coke in the closet, she panics.
Fast food restaurants are a curse on society and the reason why so many Americans are so damn fat (well, one of the reasons).
