What are some of your unpopular opinions about food?

I don't like anything sweet so that means chocolate, cake and ice cream 🤷♀️3

Chicken smells like bloody, rotting animal flesh covered in salmonella. I just can’t.
I'm a vegetarian because I got to the point that all meat was like this to me and I could taste it when I ate it. Don't get me started on the texture. I still cook it for my husband and son, though.4 -

Have you tried making s'mores with dark chocolate?
Have you tried making s'mores with Reese's peanut butter cups?
Using the Ghiradelli dark chocolate caramel squares is an excellent option to make smores with.3 -

People rave about sriracha and ginger (not together, obviously... I hope).
I think both are horrid.4 -
A substantiated opinion - the case against using GMO products is complete woo. Every major health organization around the world (CDC, WHO, EUPHA, etc) endorses them as safe. Purposefully avoiding GMO products is pretty much anti-science. A lot of common products avoid them because of public perception so we end up avoiding them without trying. There are reasons to hate Monsanto's business practices with respect to GMO crops. It's a real shame; GMO crops have more yield per acre, reducing the amount of farmland that needs to be cleared. They are more tolerant of drought, increasing the food supply in some areas that need it most. They are more bug resistant, decreasing the need for pesticides that often pollute water supplies.30

Agreed. I have zero issue with GMOs.12 -

Sweet potato fries are better than regular.
That's a hard one for me. Good sweet potato fries absolutely are. But they are harder to cook properly, and thus regular fries are much safer. So as a whole, regular fries > sweet potato fries. But good sweet potato fries are better than any regular fry.

I decided that I don't like green bean casserole because it has the soup. Doesn't matter if you make it from scratch with fresh green beans it still has soup on it.
I don't think Girl Scout cookies are worth buying. They are not any more tempting than any factory made cookie on the grocery store shelf.
Kettle corn is gross.
I don't like peanut butter or bacon added to random things. I don't hate either but not in everything. No bacon cupcakes.
There is nothing wrong with just taking 5 minutes and packing a sandwich and some fruit for your lunch instead of spending a whole day meal prepping for the week.
I think people should be able to get enough protein from normal food and drinking protein shakes sound horrible.
Onions are great.
Soup is great year round.

White rice is far superior to brown rice.
Dinner rolls made with plain white flower is the best bread. It's not the most useful for sandwiches and what not; I prefer toasted wheat bread for that.
I like magically delicious breakfast cereals (Lucky Charms, Cocoa Krispies, Apple Jacks, etc). I don't care for a lot of the "gran mulch" pushed as healthy cereals.6 -
Kashi cereal is like chewing cardboard. Shredded wheat is like eating hay. Grapenuts are gravel in (barely) edible form.
Golden Grahams all the way! Chex are also acceptable, but not wheat. Corn or rice (or a mix of both). But regular serving sizes of any cereal are pitiful, so I usually don't eat it.3 -
Agree about the Reese's PB cups, they are an insult to peanut butter.
Regarding the Kashi, gotta get that Crunch version!
Celery can take a hike.3 -
food is my first medicine.2

Miracle/shirataki noodles taste and smell like fishy rubberbands.
After the initial bite, anything with erythritol tastes revolting.6 -

@PaperDoll_ the Joy of Cooking's baked macaroni and cheese is AMAZING and not the least bit dry.
This looks like a pretty faithful rendition: https://www.bigoven.com/recipe/baked-macaroni-cheese-joy-of-cooking/3963952 -
