Not a vegetarian but my controversial opinion is that we eradicate meat eating entirely. The motivation for widespread great substitutes (there are so many already) will nullify any problems.

Marshmallows are vile and taste like shipping crate packing filler.


+1 on this marshmallow opinion

My preferred s'more includes Keebler fudge striped cookies instead of graham crackers.

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.


I would certainly hope he had sense enough to tell me has deadly allergies even if I don't ask.

Every dinner should have some kind of bread. Preferably with some nice salted butter. Enjoy the carbs!

Yes! Agree 100%


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).


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


Psst...learn how to order.


My point is you don't order one small plate of four croquetas when you have 10 guests, or whatever mental gymnastics it takes to lead you to 1/3 of a dumpling. You clearly order enough for everyone who wants one of something to get at least one of that thing. Your server can help guide you: how many orders of X for a group of 8 to get a proper taste. If you are getting a third of a dumpling, you're not ordering correctly. You're ordering like a stingy person, and stingy people aren't fun to share a small plates meal with.

Small plates are a restaurant's excuse for not having to course their food properly. Anytime I've gone to small plates restaurants the server starts with "food comes out of the kitchen as it's ready," and has always meant the meal is all over the place. I'll grant that there are a couple of exceptions, but overall I'm so over these places.

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


Lol, you just don't tell them, and they will say how good it is! Same with anchovies, one or two melted down in different sauces, people love it.

Totally agree. In fact, I think it's embarrassing when women act like their toddler husband needs anything "special." Just like I cringe when husband's always say they need to seek their wife's permission or check with the boss, etc.

YES! It's so annoying, GMO labeling is just a marketing ploy.

This is not controversial


Exceptions apply - I generally order medium rare, but if I am eating a rib eye, I drop to medium.
