I have noticed that is a popular view on this dish.
A best friend of mine begged me to make it when she was coming to mine one year, and insisted it had to be the standard canned style; that was the only way it was good. My son, who loves fresh veg said he was curious about the dish since we never had it. So I made the standard for my friend, and I made a homemade one that I believed my son and I would enjoy. Fresh green beans, no creamed soup, but a Parmesan Mornay sauce with mushroom and onions caramelized instead. I did still top it with the standard fried onion. Everyone gobbled the homemade one up, including, to my slight annoyance 🙄 , my friend who made me make the original. In fact, she has since asked me to make it for tons of gatherings.

Birthday cake sprinkles - they taste like little hard/waxy substances...7

Agree! Birthday sprinkles look so good and then disapoint. It's like catfishing.2
-
I don’t know why, but I actually like sprinkles. Only the rainbow ones, though.
The brown ones look like mouse turds.1 -
Mussels... 🤢 enough said.3

I grew up with canned green beans and they were my most hated veg. Once I tasted non canned, they became a favorite. I cannot imagine preferring anything with canned green beans. We never did a green bean casserole (although I hated all casseroles as a kid, esp with mushroom soup -- people would make some disgusting post T-giving turkey casserole which I never ate), but as an adult I added a fancy green beans dish to Thanksgiving (with fresh green beans, mushrooms, dill, and walnuts, sauteed in olive oil) and it has generally been popular and I love it.
Mussels are pretty good, I prefer clams and oysters.4 -

Agree. Raw oysters=yuck.3

Raw oysters=yum!2
-
Lol. Agree to disagree. Horseradish also = yuck!4

Mushrooms. I don't like the texture. Except that one time, coincidentally enough, when a friend made some and they were drowned in butter.2

Some people say bacon makes everything better.
No....they mean butter.10 -

Two totally different times and now I'm thinking about just cutting out the middle man and slurping up the butter all on its own!3 -

I only like a fruit pie if it's cold3

I love love love cooked mushrooms, dislike to tolerate raw ones (with dressing they are okay in a salad).3

Correct. Horseradish is also delish.
Snails are great, but mainly bc of the garlic+butter.2 -
Nope. Not horseradish, not snails. Also not tomatoes. I'll eat things made with tomatoes (blended salsa, chili, etc.), but I don't like the texture of tomatoes by themselves.1

Cookies are not best fresh out of the oven. They are best when the chocolate chips have a chance to cool and settle4

Ooh. I'll bet that IS unpopular. ^^^2

They at least have to settle down from the "hot lava" stage. Warm is fine. So is room temp, later.
I like soft (cake-ish texture) chocolate chip cookies better than crunchy ones, but some chewy ones are OK. I'm prejudiced, I'm sure, because my favorite cookies since childhood, that I still love, are a banana-chocolate chip cookie that my mom used to make. The original recipe called for lard. I no longer use lard, but usually butter or coconut oil.3 -

Agree. I don't care for them warm, and I like the texture of the firmer chips mixed in with the soft cookie.
Unless! you plop a little ice cream on top of the hot fresh cookie. That is delicious.1 -
I like to eat chocolate chip cookies at each stage from hot lava to room temperature, just for scientific comparison.10
-
you play a daring game though...those cookies might disappear before they are 'ready' for you.3
