Any good food comes from immigrant cuisines. French, Mediterranean, Indian, Asian, to name a few, have rich food traditions.

Why do you live here then?

Yes, even pico and other salsas with raw onions.

I make amazing pico without the onions that everyone always raves about and requests I bring when we do BBQs.

Please post the recipe on a new thread. I also hate raw onions.

+1. I hate raw onions. Do you just do pico with the onions omitted or do you do something else?

I don't think this is controversial at all--almost every mother I know thinks this.

Most mothers feed their kids sugar drinks daily.

What about fathers?

Ii saw a father in a food court with a couple little kids around dinner time. They were drinking Coke and french fries. I wonder what bedtime was like after that.

Really? I use it to warm milk for bechamel, heat broth for risotto, cook frozen peas for my kids, melt chocolate for ganache, make scratch oatmeal, warm homemade multigrain muffins , defrost frozen mangos for salsa….love my microwave! The trick is to use the right level — most people just throw everything in on high. And not to put anything in too long. And it doesn’t do well with meat.

I use my microwave for hundreds of things, including all of these: https://www.seriouseats.com/microwave-hacks. I can guarantee that anyone who thinks the only good use of a microwave is melting butter or reheating coffee has too little imagination and understanding of cooking methods to be a good cook.

French cuisine is just obscene amounts of butter.

Orange juice — yes, even your “pure” not from concentrate variety — is junk food and I judge anyone who stocks their fridge with it and feeds their children that crap each morning. It’s just as bad as drinking a can of Coca Cola for breakfast.

+1. I never enjoy the food in France. Spain and Italy have way better food.

Probably visitation and he dropped them off with his ex, their mom.

I effing hate truffle.

Some restaurants reek of it. So even if you don't order a dish with it, you can't get away from it. Nasty

Drinking a smoothie is just as bad as drinking a Diet Pepsi.

Frozen veggies fried in a hot wok are delicious.
