I’m happy with a chargrilled, seasoned sweet potato but not a sweet mash of grossness. Turkey tastes like day old chicken. Mashed potatoes without a red wine, shallot, mushroom and steak should not be eaten. I hate soft doughy dinner rolls. Pumpkin pie is the saddest excuse for dessert and probably was the inspiration for the phrase not worth the calories. Stuffing is equally disgusting, yes let chop up bread and soak it in chicken broth so it tastes like wadded up bread.


Totally agree. My family does our own Thanksgiving meal that has nothing to do with the traditional foods - usually porchetta, roasted potatoes, and mushrooms, and a green veggie. If we are going to someone’s house, I bring a dessert (not pumpkin pie) and eat that and the mashed potatoes. The turkey particularly grosses me out.

Indian seafood dishes are a waste of good seafood.

Mustard oil is a way better alternative to truffle (mushroom) oil in food. Truffle oil smells and tastes like a weak/fake mustard oil.

Go ahead. Get triggered!

Smoked cheese is an obscenity

I'm not sure this is an unpopular food opinion. Of course we don't need dairy to "thrive" but that's a separate issue from liking dairy. An unpopular opinion would be that cheddar cheese is nasty.

When I see someone order a dozen chicken wings I think about the parts of 24 dead chickens that went into that one plate.

It would be more like 3 chickens if that makes you feel better? Each chicken has 2 wings, each wing has 2 parts. But I too can’t help but think of all the dead animals when I eat wings. Morbid.


Don't forget the drum sticks.

Your math is not mathing. Even if you somehow don’t end up with 2 wings from one chicken, how does one wing come from 2 chickens?
