    SAME! I really dislike it.

    I think seafood like fish, squid, clams are overrated, smells and tastes TERRIBLE.

    If you look at seafood on a menu and instead of numbers for a price, it has the letters "S.P."... then it's EXTREMELY overrated. 😊

    I like it on foods when it fits the flavor profile (like some Asian noodle dishes), but I can't understand why people want to put it on EVERYTHING. It has a very strong flavor, it's not just heat.

    I might feel differently if there weren't any added sugars to so many of the brands I've found.

    Yeah, agreed.

    There's less than 2 g of sugar in a tablespoon of sriracha (at least the kind I have), and it's not all added sugar. I can't imagine worrying about that in the context of an overall meal, but, yeah, sriracha has sugar in it, that's how it's made, even if you make it yourself at home.

    Sriracha has some sweetness, it's part of the inherent flavor profile. I get that people may prefer an unsweetened hot sauce, but a sriracha without sugar isn't sriracha.

    (I know, I know, I'm gatekeeping hot sauce. I get it's silly, but it's still true).

    I like a nice balance, and it's one of the things I strive for in my own cooking/baking efforts. A touch of acid (lemon, lime, vinegar, wine), a bit of spice, and a bit of sweet is, for me, a good collection of tastes to aim for. When I toss a salad dressing together, it's usually some kind of mustard vinagrette.

    What is everyone's opinion on best pizza chain??

    Pizza Pizza. Because 1) price 2) they were the first to offer whole wheat crust option on all sizes 3) first plant-based pizza 4) consistent preparation/quality.

    Worst would have to be Little Caesar's. We have two locations here and neither can produce a pizza that isn't nasty.

    I am not fond of the "movie theatre popcorn" smell. (I think it's the butter. I get the same queasy feeling when Mom makes herself buttered toast.)

    The fuzz is like nails on a chalkboard except in my mouth :lol: I don't know why it bothers me so much! I finally got a great bunch of nectarines this week, so juicy it ran down your arm as you ate it :heart:

    Same. I have to peel a peach to eat it.

    I prefer cold pizza.
  • Posts: 6,137 Member

    I'm halfway with you here.
    I prefer pizza LEFTOVERS to be cold.
    Hot pizza fresh out of the oven is still the best, but for the leftovers, cold is far superior to re-heated.

    yes... this is what I mean!

    Eggnog is acceptable only in December.
  • Posts: 35,439 Member
    Homemade eggnog with aaaallll the eggs, cream and proper alcohol, so thick only part of a glass is drinkable, then you need a spoon, is the superior eggnog. (Yes, I'm an eggnog snob.) It's too much work, perhaps too intoxicating but tempting, and way too many calories to range outside of December, and a limited part of the month at that, without causing me trouble.

    The commercial kind in cartons is usually too sweet, for my preference - syrupy. If others enjoy that - more for you, I guess. 😉

    I'm a problem during the holidays: I don't like eggnog at all, and I don't like shellfish, which is basically the seafood my lovely sister-in-law makes for the Feast of Seven Fishes - she has since yielded and made one of the fishes sole/flounder, and I'll eat that. But not eggnog.

    Egg cream on the other hand, is a treat that, as a loyal Brooklynite, I always look forward to. It has neither egg nor cream, by the way. Basically it's chocolate milk lightened and made truly effervescent with seltzer.

    The best and easiest way to reheat pizza is in a medium hot pan, with the lid almost completely covering the pan. It allows crust to get hot, and crunchy again like fresh baked and toppings to melt. It's way quicker than oven. Plus, no need to heat up your whole kitchen.

    Never tried this, but my favorite way to reheat pizza is in the air fryer! SO good!!

    Nutella is disgusting
    Smoothies, juices and protein shakes are not food - eat your calories!
    Chinese food is awful
    Home cooked food is always nicer than a takeaway.
    Muffins are just meh ..
    So are bagels
    Cocktails are gross - drink alcohol separately
    Milk is for baby cows
