What's your controversial food opinion?

Too many people act like hole in a wall/food trucks are better then they actually are.

Most (not all) people with weird diet restrictions (GF, vegan, etc.) are really just masking their eating disorder.

Nicer version: it looks like baby food. Mushy and unappealing. Certainly do not want to pay for it.

It’s awful to have a REAL problem that requires it. Painful. Debilitating. And lots of embarrassing and painful time in the bathroom which strikes abruptly.

I can’t stand the way some places make big, “gourmet” burgers. Just give me a crispy little patty from off of a flattop grill, top it with boring American cheese, the usual basic toppings, a soft regular hamburger bun, and I’m a happy camper! Take your truffle-Brie burger on brioche and get outta here.

I love meat and we eat it most days.

Thanksgiving foods do not work together. It really is the worst meal of the year. A professional chef can not make this combination of food work.

This isn't even that controversial because I know so many people who agree. Every year the non-traditional dishes like pumpkin sage ravioli, great spinach salad, tasty appetizers and ham is all gone and there are mountains of left overs of turkey, gravy and stuffing. Every year, the host has to put out the same foods that most of the family doesn't like because one or two porker relatives wants to pack a plate with turkey, stuffing, potatoes and drown it in gravy and then giggle while filling up Tupperware with this gloopy mess.

Hm, now this one is actually controversial. I think he's fabulous.

I love his food and he’s a truly decent human being.

Related. I don't like Thanksgiving day or dinner. Love and get along great my family, but sitting around the house the entire day just to eat a giant meal that's not that great (per above)? Best years were the ones I had no Thanksgiving plans. Friends never believed me when I said I actually preferred it that way.

Jeez, sure, it is bad to have diarrhea and farts and be embarrassed. But, nothing compared to choking and having an anaphylactic shock! The way I see it your REAL problem is not that big of a problem at all.

Love 5 Guys, though will only allow myself to eat there once per year, but the single cheeseburger is perfect. The standard burger w/two patties isn't necessary.

I don’t understand why the combination is so objectionable:


Turkey
Potato
Green beans
Gravy
Cranberry sauce

Plus whatever extra sides. What doesn’t go?
