What's your controversial food opinion?

Whenever I tell people I put fish sauce in my bolognese they act like I shot their grandma.

And MSG. Learn to love it.

These are people who don't know squat about cooking.

People who eat red meat cooked more than medium rare are unsophisticated and might as well just stick to the Old Country Buffet

Expensive wine tastes just the same as inexpensive wine.

NP. I posted something similar here in a discussion a long time ago, and someone replied that I must be fat and should stick with Cracker Barrel. Oh, DCUM.

Small plates are great if I want 2.4 bites of 7 different dishes. Although I don't mind it for late-night dining (which is a euphemism for drinking).

Me: Golden Oreos are far superior to regular Oreos.

This is so obviously, objectively true it's not the least bit controversial.

I mean, of course. Is there any question?

Blasphemy. It's Oreo Thins that are superior.

The original Oreo has the perfect ratio of creme to cookie. Double Stuffs have too much creme; thins don't hve enough.

I'm not even going to dignify the Golden Oreo nonsense with a response.

S’mores are overrated. I like a toasted marshmallow by itself.

+1. All shellfish is tasteless. It’s the preparation that might make it worth eating. But lobster is particularly bad and overrated.

I agree, with the exception of a mesquite grilled lobster tail.

It’s okay to have seafood and cheese in the same dish.

I certainly hope you ask about allergies. If you invited my uncle over for pasta with meat sauce, and put fish sauce in it without telling him, you could literally kill him.

YES! Scallops or shrimp in risotto is amazing!

Small plates are especially insidious if you are with a group. No, I don’t want a third of a dumpling!
