I feel that way about people who use those box mixes for things like banana bread or cornbread. They’re called quick breads for a reason! If you have to add eggs, oil & and water to the mix, you’re not really saving any time over making it from scratch.

I form negative opinions about you if you eat Red Delicious apples or American cheese.

I’m also very snobby about salmon, but I’m from the Pacific Northwest and only want to eat fresh Coho, Chinook or Copper River—don’t come at me with farmed. Related to the PNW thing, I think lobster is overrated; Dungeness crab is far superior.

But, hey, opinions are like a**holes…

OMG, I used to live in AK and am SO snobby about salmon. It’s literally the one question I will ask at a restaurant that makes me decide against a dish. If it ain’t wild Alaskan, it ain’t salmon worth eating.

Tell me your salmon sourcing secrets! Where can you find good salmon in the lower 48?

No secrets. I get a big box shipped quarterly from Wild Alaskan. I will also get the wild Alaskan frozen from Costco if we run out. I’m fine with frozen, since the stuff at Whole Foods, etc. is all previously frozen. Unfortunately, king is hard to find, but I make sure to ship back a bunch of king on dry ice when I’ve gone to visit.

That most people have no idea what good food is. The number of people that rave about awful restaurants is insane.

Pre COVID I was a serious food snob. Don’t get me wrong, I never complained or commented outwardly. Post COVID I hate cooking and food and any meal someone else makes for me is fine dining. I will add that the one item that still makes me cringe is canned vegetables. Why?

Maybe expand beyond Panda Express?

Nope, I've lived and eaten Chinese food in NYC, San Francisco, and the DC area (including Rockville and Wheaton), and I think it's gross.

I've never eaten at Panda Express.

Do you order off of the Chinese menu or the English one?

Np I agree with the original pp. American Chinese food is beyond disgusting. Goopy, sticky, overly sweet. I love Thai, Japanese, Korean and other Asian foods. I think Chinese food needs a rebranding and more authenticity. And no, I don’t order off the Chinese menu since I’ve never seen one.

Original PP here, and same.

I'm Chinese and I cannot stand American Chinese food like Crab Rangoon, General Tso's. I never tried any of these until I was an adult.

Both traditional Chinese food and American Chinese food have their place. And in some ways, it’s no different than American Italian food, American German food, and the like—immigrants arrived in this country and modified their recipes to take into account both American tastes and availability of ingredients. In the process they created something new and, in my opinion, wonderful. That’s not to disrespect the traditional cuisines—they are also wonderful and reflect the culture and resources of their home country. But just because something is Americanized doesn’t mean it’s bad—you may not like it, but a lot of people do, and when done well it is fantastic.

-I think Parmesan cheese that you shake out of a can is disgusting.
-I despise most kinds of fast food (McDonald's, Burger King, etc) and think that people who eat frequently it are low-lifes.
-I think that letting toddlers drink soda is trashy.
-I won't eat food prepared by kids under 8.

I think Great American restaurants (sweetwater, Carlyle, etc) are meh and don’t know why everyone here raves about them

Mahout your mouth. Mango and sticky rice is one of the best desserts ever.

Do they mean Asian minus Indian? I love Indian sweets.

Asia is a huge continent, that pp is really kind of ignorant. Good baklava is divine, and there are a lot of other really good middle eastern desserts as well.

NP. I hate baclava. And while I love Indian savory food, I really really don’t like Indian desserts (and yes, I’ve been to India. Still nope on desserts).

Another NP. I've lived in both the Middle East and India. Desserts of ME and Asia suck. Only Europeans can make great desserts. There, I said it. Now you can show up at my house with pitchforks and torches.

Interesting. The cars at our local McDonald's are a weird assortment of workers cars/vans and $100k+ ones. Make of that what you will.

I will not eat food from my friend's house because her dog frequently shits all over the kitchen floor.

Nothing to do with poor people. You can eat healthier food for less money
