It’s ok to have anything cooked out on the counter overnight. The official guidelines are ridiculous. Pizza out of the fridge for 2 hrs is bad?!

I won’t go that far, because it’s useful in Indian savory dishes. But I don’t want it anywhere near any apple pie. Apples raw and cooked are so brilliant on their own. I can’t imagine who thought it was a good idea to mask their flavor.

Radishes taste like dirt, too.

You have to wash them, babe.

There was once a pumpkin ice cream--not pumpkin pie, just pumpkin, with just a hint of the spices--that had come out in the stores where I shop for one Halloween to Christmas season. It was so, so good, but have never seen again. Don't recall the brand.

I agree that those are all overdone. don't even get me started at all the options that have chocolate AND PB. 🤮. Strawberry, fresh peach, black raspberry are the best. I'm sure we'd get even more choices if stores offered them to us and didn't fill the shelves with the lowest common denominator.

Those flavors aren’t widely offered because people don’t really like them. So your opinion is indeed unpopular.

Hate cinnamon in any thing.

Leeks with mustard vinaigrette will be in my last meal. I don’t even like mustard much, or leeks.

Bone marrow is amazing with salt on a cracker.

Whoever doesn’t like fruit doesn’t know how to pick or find fresh fruit. Canned and mushy supermarket fruit is gross, but so are canned peas. Not the point.

Olive Garden serves the best Italian food.

No other bean burrito beat the taste of Taco Bell Bean Burrito with extra onions & fire sauce.

The purpose of strong spices is to hide or give flavor to low-quality food. And the taste of very fresh vegetables and quality, very fresh meat that has been handled properly and kept cold until being cooked doesn't need to be disguised in strong spices to taste good. No spice can match that very fresh taste.

I lived in South Asia for two years, where most food is super spicy and also low-quality or not handled properly during preparation and prior to cooking, and this is where I had this realization (during one of my many nights sick in front of or on the toilet again: Delhi Bellly is real).

I have never met anyone who prefers chocolate ice cream on her pie. I would say that is a very unpopular food opinion. I would love to tell her she is not alone. Anyone??

Your pie already has vanilla in it. You need more vanilla?

Well, Wasabi mayo is out of this world good, on everything

You should try Roy Rogers horseradish sauce.

Add butter pecan to your list.

My MD once told me that Mayo is just spreadable cholesterol. A heart attack spread on a sandwich.

Agreed. I couldn’t eat veal after I learned how mean it is to the calf.

Black licorice is delicious.

Agree on the veal. But black licorice is vile!

There's a specialty dairy where I live (not in DC) which makes unusual ice cream flavors--chokecherry, Juneberry, and black licorice. The black licorice is sooo addictive.
