    I love pineapple, but it does not belong on pizza.

    Meat does not belong on pizza.

    Jalepenos are gross.

    Sashimi, rare steak, or any undercooked meat is not safe to eat.

    Clam chowder is gross. Clams are mollusks, so basically snails.

    White chocolate is blasphemy.

    Snails are delicious, although cover anything in garlic and butter and it's probably delicious.

    (Not sure that's unpopular, in plenty of crowds it wouldn't be.)

    Hopefully you only order the chicken when you go out to eat.

    My unpopular opinions about food?

    Don't order the steak if you are going to kill it by ordering it well done.

    Taste your dang food before you season it at the table.

    If you put potatoes or spaghetti noodles in your chili, you're nuts. It's goulash at that point.

    Tapioca pudding is a sin.

    Not unpopular. Correct, of course, but not unpopular.

    I think chili on potatoes is good, although I didn't know it was a thing. I'm also good with Cincinnati chili.
    Tapioca pudding is a sin.

    I think my opinion is the unpopular one here, which is that tapioca pudding is not actually all that bad.

    Also, I love New England clam chowder. A favorite chowder-related passage:

    "However, a warm savory steam from the kitchen served to belie the apparently cheerless prospect before us. But when that smoking chowder came in, the mystery was delightfully explained. Oh, sweet friends! hearken to me. It was made of small juicy clams, scarcely bigger than hazel nuts, mixed with pounded ship biscuit, and salted pork cut up into little flakes; the whole enriched with butter, and plentifully seasoned with pepper and salt. Our appetites being sharpened by the frosty voyage, and in particular, Queequeg seeing his favourite fishing food before him, and the chowder being surpassingly excellent, we despatched it with great expedition..."

    White chocolate is an abomination, and I don't see the point of ice cream.

    honestly, I am kind of with you on the ice cream. Unless it is super high quality and I have just a little bit.

    The best thing is raw bell pepper ice cream.

    Okay, kidding. I'd try it, though.

    If I could keep only one dessert food and lose all the rest, I think I'd keep ice cream.

    Carbs on pizza is an abomination. Brownies that are ALMOST baked are the best. Jk I’d eat raw dough/batter whenever.

    I've just started making Cincinnati chili (ATK recipe) in the last few years and love it! My OH thinks it's weird.

    I like tapioca pudding. Do people not like it because of the texture?

    I've used small pearls in the past but got some large pearls recently to make bobo tea, and they didn't work out so am going to try "fish eye" pudding one of these days.

    Yes, for me it's the texture.

    Most foods I dislike are about the texture: Tapioca in the little-blob forms, lima beans (mealy), seaweed salad (can't describe it, ucky texture, to me - but I also don't like the iodine-ish flavor, for the double ick-uck).

    I grew up in Cincy and Cincy chili, though addicting, is an abomination. Nothing like fat over noodles with layers of fat on top. Swig it down with a Pepsi (Corn Syrup) and you've got Skyline Time.

    For those not knowing what Cincy Chili is, it's ground beef boiled (fat all in) and then spiced up with, among other things, Chili Powder, Cocoa and Cinnammon. Over spaghetti noodles that have been tossed in Tomato Paste and Oil. Then, you add Kidney Beans, Onions and around 2 lbs of finely shredded Mild Cheddar. "Five Way", the only way to go (possibly literally as your arteries clog).

    I hate most foods that technically are spoiled through their creation process like cottage cheese, sour cream, etc.

    used to do that all the time when I was a kid. Cottage cheese on baked potato with baked beans on top of it all....Delicious!
