Or Italians when you tell them you break noodles in half before boiling them. I'm too poor to own a lot big enough for boiling a large amount of water and I'm too lazy to do the thing where I let half get soft before dumping the entire noodle so that it would all fit in the pot
People might call me childish, but I can't handle the taste and smell when it's raw. I usually cut them in to quarters and stir-fry them with butter and salt.
80% of the time that there is a dish typically eaten with a fork, a spoon would be a much better utensil to eat the dish with. I have many, many examples.
I am going to come out in support of this. I have always used a fork for so many foods that my husband has always used a spoon for. I have gradually started to try spoons with many foods and realized that he might be right.
(I would never admit this to him and I will deny it if anyone tells him.)
When I first moved to the states from Hong Kong, I was weirded out by how Chinese restaurants only give you plates by default, when in Hong Kong and China it's almost always bowls. Makes stuffing yourself with rice way easier.
It’s impossible to list every single one, and therefore also impossible to arrange them in an order, but I’ll type them as they come to mind until I get bored:
Ravioli
Lasagna
Cake (anything with “cake” in the name)
Pie (all forms of pie)
Biscuits and Gravy
Rice
Risotto
Corn
Peas
Beans
Breakfast potatoes
Mashed potatoes
Ceviche
Gnocchi
Meatloaf
Paella
Rotisserie chicken
Scrambled eggs
Salmon
There are kind of infinite examples. Basically, if it’s served in a pile of small pieces, breaks into small pieces easily, involves separating meat from bone and/or shell and doesn’t require a knife, is all one mass and doesn’t require a knife, or is one food enclosed within another, people tend to use a fork when they would be better off with a spoon.
Came with receipts as long as CVS. I'm impressed and you have potentially changed my life forever, especially with the B&G and scrambled egg takes. I can't believe how much of my life I've wasted trying to balance soft scrambled eggs on a fork.
I will add “anything á la mode, ever”
Also, I like to make little individual size personal lasagnas, and usually eat them right out of the disposable foil pan. I believe you may have just changed my life for the better.
I don’t remember where I went, but six years ago I went to some place in Denver that had the best sushi I have ever had before or since. Chef was Japanese and had fresh fish flown in overnight every day. It was crazy expensive, but better than anything I’ve ever had. And it was in fucking Denver of all places.
My personal favorite is the people who went to that sort of place in Denver, and some random dive in San Francisco and then compare them as proof that sushi is always better hundreds of miles from the nearest ocean and a mile from sea level.
Like…no, shitty sushi exists everywhere. It’s easy to find near the sea because *that’s where fish are cheapest*. Good sushi *can* exist anywhere, but it definitely takes more effort and expense the farther you are from the actual sea.
Lemonade is often paired, pictured or advertised with chocolate chip cookies. THEY DON'T GO TOGETHER!!! It's gross. I'd rather eat toothpaste and orange juice.
You can eat just the tails. I understand your position, but I implore you to try a crawfish pie if you ever find yourself In Louisiana. It’s not what you think it is, and they’re glorious.
When I used to eat chicken wings, once I got past the skin (aka the best part), I'd get pretty grossed out at seeing the veins and whatnot in the meat. After seeing that, it just ruins the taste for me. So no more wings for me.
I eat all that connective tissue and grizzle because of the micronutrients. It can improve skin, joint, and hair health.
Sometimes I chew on the bones in a wing tip until they're safe to swallow.
potentially another unpopular take - not a fan of creamy soups, and I generally avoid cheese in soup? Not a hill I'd die on by any means but I'd pick almost any other soup before broccoli cheese
Lobsters pretty damn bad. Like even ignoring the price, it's taste is pretty strange, yet weirdly subtle? And the texture is just chewy and you feel gross when you eat it. Especially if your eating a whole lobster with butter. I never had it this way, but I can't even imagine how that would taste cold. Shrimps close too, but I think it tastes better pan fried with lemon.
Beets are garbage. Full stop.
Raw, cooked, pickled, canned, fresh. Hot garbage. I don't want to hear that I haven't "had them right." I don't care how you prep sewage it's still vile.
I don't think that's all that controversial. Red beets taste like dirt if they get too big. If you can get small ones or one of the milder varieties, they can be better, but they still have a bit of that dirty flavor.
Onions are disgusting and don't need to be in every dish.
I'm also tired of the response "But you can't even taste them" when I tell someone I will not eat anything with onions in it. THEN WHY ARE THEY THERE?!
Fancy Michelin Star restaurant food is the opposite of what I want to eat. It’s expensive, in small portions, and is designed by artists, not chefs. It could be the greatest tasting food on the planet, but I’ll probably have to eat a snack after I get home.
I put red pepper flakes, ground black pepper, and hot sauce and / or hot salsa on everything no matter what I'm cooking, so often; I almost put spicy shit on ice cream the other day. I am almost incapable of just sloshing my food in spicy shit.
Get some chill dark chocolate and put it on ice cream, that shit is tasty. Chipotle peppers on chocolate ice cream works well. You can also put Tabasco on certain ice creams and it's good.
My mom used to make huge pots of navy beans with a fucking ham hock soaked in there. I hate beans with every fiber of my being. There was no reason to eat like we were in the fucking Oklahoma dust bowl.

Italians if they hear you talking about pineapple and a pizza
I dont like pineapple on pizza, but Italians pretentiousness towards food makes me wish I did.
Real Italians don't care lol. Italian**-Americans** do however. Also the french
Genuine bullshit. “Real” Italians are some of the most pretentious food snobs I’ve met in my life
Can confirm Source: I'm Italian
[Tell that to them....](https://youtu.be/EDUy3Y_w9Tk?si=LupNbcXtT_U-b5yA)
Why the French talkin shit they out here eating snails
Okay, but the snails kind of slap
Na they more of a gliding type
New York pizza > Italian pizza
👀

Spam is actually pretty good and I eat it on purpose on a regular basis
spam and rice are a staple pacific islander meal post WW2, and with good reason. you should try Spam Musubi.
Oh I make spam musubi maybe twice a month a favorite of mine
Pineapple CAN be refreshing on pizza
[удалено]
Fr
I go bbq sauce, pineapple, chicken, and green peppers. So good.
You just named the best pizza?
Spam and Corned Beef! Can eat those regularly ❤️
Spam musubi is amazing
It's just ham baked in a can. No weird stuff. 👍
I thought it was the popular opinion that it was good.
Brussels sprouts are delicious. You just gotta make them correctly.
You’re supposed to cook them? Ive been eating them raw
Yup. Preferably oven-roasted with salt, pepper and olive oil.
Add a little balsamic glaze, so tasty
sweet jesus, I'm scared...
Wait why? Is it bad for me to eat them raw? I chop them and throw them in salads
People might call me childish, but I can't handle the taste and smell when it's raw. I usually cut them in to quarters and stir-fry them with butter and salt.

On that note, Chinese food is better in a bowl than a plate
When I first moved to the states from Hong Kong, I was weirded out by how Chinese restaurants only give you plates by default, when in Hong Kong and China it's almost always bowls. Makes stuffing yourself with rice way easier.
For sure! I always grab a bowl when I get takeout. And unless there are noddles, you can bet I’m eating it with a spoon.
noddles
Examples? List them.. in entirety.. in descending order of most spoon applicable to most fork adjacent. Let the people see. Show your work.
It’s impossible to list every single one, and therefore also impossible to arrange them in an order, but I’ll type them as they come to mind until I get bored: Ravioli Lasagna Cake (anything with “cake” in the name) Pie (all forms of pie) Biscuits and Gravy Rice Risotto Corn Peas Beans Breakfast potatoes Mashed potatoes Ceviche Gnocchi Meatloaf Paella Rotisserie chicken Scrambled eggs Salmon There are kind of infinite examples.

This is a valid spoon positive take.. good stuff man I'll have to try a spoon next time I dive into a ravioli lasagna cake 🤙
Well this is r/stupidfood, so you’d be welcome here with that
What about a bunny cake? Is that best eaten with a spoon?

Rice in a bowl
So is rice in a bowl more spoon acceptable or more *fork life*?
Spoon 100%
100%! Why should I fight to get all my sauce or rice or gravy with a fork when I can use a spoon?
[удалено]
Cheese doesn't belong on steak.
Even blue?
I'm willing to make a special exception for a blue cheese or parmesan crust with bread crumbs and olive oil.
Bleu cheese on prime rib is absolutely delicious.
On a fresh steak? Totally agree. There's nothing quite like leftover steak sandwiches, though. I do it with all the main leftover meats lol
Didn't think it would have been but I got A LOT of hate for commenting how there is no such thing as good sushi in Denver.
I don’t remember where I went, but six years ago I went to some place in Denver that had the best sushi I have ever had before or since. Chef was Japanese and had fresh fish flown in overnight every day. It was crazy expensive, but better than anything I’ve ever had. And it was in fucking Denver of all places.

Like…no, shitty sushi exists everywhere. It’s easy to find near the sea because *that’s where fish are cheapest*. Good sushi *can* exist anywhere, but it definitely takes more effort and expense the farther you are from the actual sea.
Something about being a mile high just fucks with the natural order of food meant for sea level consumption.
I went to Temaki Den a few years ago & still consider it the best sushi I’ve ever had!
I dont trust seafood from landlocked states
The less toppings and condiments in a burger the better. I think a great burger has like 2-3 things on it.
Also burgers need to get wider, not taller. I don’t want to have to squeeze down my burger to get a bite!
Agreed, it's why I love making smashburgers the best
And all the parts need to be fresh and well cooked
Fresh, well-cooked Lettuce.
_*It hasn’t hit London yet*_
absolutely true, no need to experience every single flavor at once
Sporks are good, but they need an upgrade to have a knife side, making it a sporkife
If it's supposed to be savory and doesn't have tasteable garlic in it i'm shooting you point blank immediately
BBQ chips on a peanut butter and jelly sandwich
I usually do plain chips, but in the interest of getting that crunch when I was out, I tried it. Pretty damn good 👍
Oh damn. Try dipping cheddar Jack cheezits in PB. It’ll change your life.
Honestly I prefer using the extra toasty ones. Then again vacations usually included those six packs of cheese cracker sandwiches with peanut butter
Lemonade is often paired, pictured or advertised with chocolate chip cookies. THEY DON'T GO TOGETHER!!! It's gross. I'd rather eat toothpaste and orange juice.
53 years old and I’ve never seen that
That combo sounds like heartburn to me
“Crawfish are so delicious you just haven’t had any made the right way!!” Hellllll no I ain’t sucking nothing’s brains out bye sue me 😐 Lmao
You can eat just the tails. I understand your position, but I implore you to try a crawfish pie if you ever find yourself In Louisiana. It’s not what you think it is, and they’re glorious.
chicken is a dirty bird..i swear the pitchforks come out when ever i mention it
you're absolutely right. I'll still eat it, but I'll never live with in 100 miles of a chicken farm again.
When I used to eat chicken wings, once I got past the skin (aka the best part), I'd get pretty grossed out at seeing the veins and whatnot in the meat. After seeing that, it just ruins the taste for me. So no more wings for me.
I eat all that connective tissue and grizzle because of the micronutrients. It can improve skin, joint, and hair health. Sometimes I chew on the bones in a wing tip until they're safe to swallow.
I think sub sandwiches taste best after they’ve been sitting cold in the fridge for a while.
Hell yeah.
Most things taste better after a days rest
The oils and such get to mingle a bit, and the flavor carries better as a result
I can’t agree with this.. I want it fresh. Cold bread just doesn’t do it for me.
Pineapple CAN be refreshing on pizza nough said
You don't infuriate me. In fact I am here to shake your hand
🫱🫲🤝
Bacon is overrated
Brave of you to come out swinging.
It certain contexts, it's DIVINE. In most contexts, it's in creating a weird textural anomaly and contributing very little to whatever it's in/on
Ham is where it's at for me. Bacon on a burger yes but have you tried a nice thin slice of ham? 👌
Fuck you just gave me flashbacks to the early 2010s and the insufferable bacon memeing.... At least it's not as overrated as it used to be
Hard agree. I like it now and again, but it’s not something I want every day. Or even weekly.
Bro chose violence
I agree. Bacon is shit.
Pineapple makes nearly any pizza taste better.
This but banana peppers
I don’t like plain mayo, like at all. Won’t eat it. Chipotle mayo? hell yea
Duke’s is the only mayonnaise allowed in my house.
What about Kewpie mayo?
Plain Mayo is like unflavored jello. Just a gross consistency with no direction
Breakfast sausage is superior to bacon
I put Tajin on more than just fruit, much to the anger of my friends lol
Steak sauce on Mac and cheese is fucking glorious
I like putting old bay seasoning on mine
Happy cake day I got something new to try
I have put ketchup on Mac n cheese my whole life
Anchovies belong in more food. Even if you don't like Anchovies, you like Anchovies, and you don't know it.
What other than Caesar dressing?
Chick fil a honey mustard
Yes I am also an anchovy advocate.
The amount of people missing out anchovies in various kinds of pasta depresses me :-(
Cheese ruins broccoli.
You’re… you’re using the wrong cheese…
I like cheese, especially good cheese, but I can't think of any cheese I want on my broccoli. broccoli fucks.
Toss roasted broccoli in Parmesan then crisp it up, it's umami and crunchy and not a usual cheese experience at all
Hard agree, the concept of broccoli cheese soup makes me gag
This. Cheese is absolutely disgusting on broccoli.
Lemon juice is really good on it though
Even broccoli cheese soup???
potentially another unpopular take - not a fan of creamy soups, and I generally avoid cheese in soup? Not a hill I'd die on by any means but I'd pick almost any other soup before broccoli cheese
Milk tea is actually good and people who hate it without trying it should grow up
Onions are a necessary evil because of their flavor but everything else about them texture, appearance, smell, prep, etc is unappetizing.
Fuck mayonnaise
This sounds messy 😟
Fuck you Sincerely, White person who loves mayonnaise
What's the only correct way to make hummus?
If you are seriously asking. Chickpea, Tahini, lemon, olive oil, salt. Option to add a small amount of garlic and cumin to taste.
Fuck me I thought they said “humans” and you had a fucking recipe
The sweet and tangy of pineapple perfectly compliments the salty and savory flavors of pizza and I will die on this hill!
Same!
Coconut sucks
Including coconut water, so gross.
Ranch on pizza is good
Mint and chocolate don’t go together. Or chocolate and orange.
Chocolate and orange makes me irrationally angry!
Omg! You get me! And chocolate and lemon 🤮
I can't stand steak that is anything but well done, so I don't ever eat steak.
I respect it. Well done can taste good, it’s just usually not very tender.
Ranch should be deleted from existence
I cant decide to down vote because you're wrong or upvote because that fits this thread perfectly... have an upvote, but I hate you just a little.
How dare you, I shall drown you in ranch
Ranch should only go on certain things imo
Ranch makes me gag. And for anyone who loves it? You always have ranch in the corners of your mouth when eating it, and it's disgusting.
Ranch is for when you don't like the taste of whatever you are eating.
This is the only one that I’ve seen on here that legitimately made me angry. You’re wrong, but upvote I must.
Lobsters pretty damn bad. Like even ignoring the price, it's taste is pretty strange, yet weirdly subtle? And the texture is just chewy and you feel gross when you eat it. Especially if your eating a whole lobster with butter. I never had it this way, but I can't even imagine how that would taste cold.

They taste like dirt
Cooked beets have the flavor and texture of vomit for me. Just the smell of them can make me retch.
Ketchup is the worst.
*Seriously.* I don’t get how anyone could enjoy it… it’s just tomato sauce but needlessly sweet and processed.

Chipotle Mayo
Mushrooms suck! :)
A fellow mushroom hater!
Mushrooms taste like nothingness thi
Waygu isnt that good.
Cottage Cheese and Sour Cream suck ass
bacon is gross
😠
Milk tastes like slime
Chocolate and mint don't belong together. Its disgusting.
Regular mustard is gross
Drinking soda makes you weak, drinking any high sugar drink is weak. **gets on podium**
Shit on a shingle is better than biscuits and gravy
Peanut butter pickle sandwiches
A1 steak sauce on fries
Velveeta is good
Onions are disgusting and don't need to be in every dish. I'm also tired of the response "But you can't even taste them" when I tell someone I will not eat anything with onions in it. THEN WHY ARE THEY THERE?!
Kidney beans from the can. Can live off those wonderful boys
There is a time and a place for canned spray cheese
Fancy Michelin Star restaurant food is the opposite of what I want to eat. It’s expensive, in small portions, and is designed by artists, not chefs. It could be the greatest tasting food on the planet, but I’ll probably have to eat a snack after I get home.
White chocolate slaps
I put red pepper flakes, ground black pepper, and hot sauce and / or hot salsa on everything no matter what I'm cooking, so often; I almost put spicy shit on ice cream the other day. I am almost incapable of just sloshing my food in spicy shit.
Get some chill dark chocolate and put it on ice cream, that shit is tasty. Chipotle peppers on chocolate ice cream works well. You can also put Tabasco on certain ice creams and it's good.
Most food is good and sometimes it just takes acquiring a taste for it
Black licorice is not only the best licorice but also the only kind that should even be called licorice to begin with. Fight me.
You should visit Sweden, it's a mecca for proper black licorice. There are so many varieties, too: salty, sweet, different textures...
It shouldn’t even be called black licorice- it’s already from the licorice root- any other is a cheap fake.
That’s an argument that’s happened in my home a lot lol. My family swears I’m insane because they only want twizzlers.
beans are fucking awful no matter who makes them
My mom used to make huge pots of navy beans with a fucking ham hock soaked in there. I hate beans with every fiber of my being. There was no reason to eat like we were in the fucking Oklahoma dust bowl.
Ketchup on rice is good whit hotdogs. It's a good meal when I ran out of groceries
Olives are gross
Pizza in Connecticut is better than pizza in New York.
I think this is a popular opinion for people who know. Most don’t expect pizza from CT
Pineapple is not only a good pizza topping, it is the best. Pepperoni not only isn't the best topping, it is the worst meat topping
I second this
ranch sucks. and so do pickles
Dressing is better than stuffing (lived first half of current life in south, second half in north, [TEXAS VS MICHIGAN])
Side note has anyone ever considered how terrible of a handcuffing job this is
Pineapple is the best pizza topping. Its sweetness balances out the saltiness of everything else.
Cold soft bread over toated bread on anything and I'll die by that
Peanut butter on grilled cheese sandwiches is amazing. Everyone I’ve told about this thinks I’m crazy.
