What are some of your unpopular opinions about food?

When I could eat gluten I loved Shoo Fly Pie!2

I obviously was forgetting a lot of things with molasses when I made my earlier comment...5

Most traditional breakfast foods (bacon, sausage, hash browns, gravy, biscuits, bagels, donuts, kid's cereals etc.) poorly fuel you for the day.2

As far as muffins that are reasonable to eat go, I like the simple Martha White apple cinnamon muffins; the envelope you add a half cup of milk to. Most people try too hard with muffins for my taste (other than the melted sugar crust
).
See to me, that's not a muffin. That's... cake or something. A muffin (back when I still could have gluten) was a simple thing I made with butter and buttermilk and flour and a very small amount of sugar and was tasty in its simplicity. It was a vehicle for good jam or jelly. Strawberry or blackberry preferably.
That sounds like a biscuit.
That's what I was going to say.0 -
I much prefer the middle to the edge when it comes to cornbread, brownies, cakes, etc. Now that I'm an adult I can cut straight to the middle and not get in trouble, although many people still give me the stink eye.3

Don't they use molasses to make brown sugar?1 -
I couldn't quote for some reason, but I also liked the Starbucks juniper latte. I have had it twice and the first time I was not into the citrus sugar on top. Without that, and with nonfat milk, I found it pretty lovely. It reminded me of lavender lattes I've had from an independent coffee house.
I agree that a lot of people probably wouldn't like it though...not sickeningly sweet! I saw that a grande with whole milk was only 260 cal and most of the lattes and mochas run 350+ for a grande.

When I think traditional, I think eggs. If I have two eggs, a potato and bacon, I will be full until early afternoon. If I have oatmeal with fruit, I am hungry two hours later. I think it varies by person.
Speaking of breakfast, I think patty sausage is disgusting. I like my link sausage cooked until it is nearly black on the outside.4 -

Completely agree although I do like the lemon thin oreos. The chocolate ones just taste like brown cardboard with sugar lard in the middle.1 -

But you could say the same for skipping breakfast altogether. I think what fuels a person for the day (whatever their eating schedule) is what suits their tastes, activities and lifestyle.
eta: I generally eat a protein bar for breakfast, but I've been known to have a bacon and bagel sandwich and it's suited me just fine

Shhh - the recipe is supposed to be a secret...6 -
Unpopular food opinion: Stuffing is disgusting. It doesn't matter if its stove top, or made from scratch, it tastes like salty, soggy bread. Pass. Dressing too. Then it's soggy bread with nuts in it. Also gross.7

Eggs are the absolute most traditional thing to me too. I normally have a 2-egg omelet with lots of vegetables. Sometimes some fruit or avocado with it, sometimes cottage cheese, sometimes smoked salmon.
When traveling it's usually easy to find some scrambled eggs with the breakfast buffet and have some fruit with them and whatever veg happen to be around -- I was just in Jackson, MS, so hardly the health food capital of the US, and easily found eggs, fruit, some lox and cucumbers as part of the buffet option. I did have a couple of pieces of bacon too, however.
I find oats reasonably traditional and filling too, I just prefer eggs most of the time.
I've always hated cold cereal.1 -

I don't think well-made stuffing is gross, but I think it's pretty much never worth the trouble/calories/forgoing other foods, and I have stopped making it for Thanksgiving dinner. If someone else wants to, great, but I am unlikely to eat any. Much rather have mashed potatoes and more of the various veg options and more turkey.0 -
I sort of feel like not liking stuffing or dressing is a popular opinion (along with fruitcake hate)

Pork! Makes me gag to be even in the same room.1

Well-made stuffing is more tolerable I'll admit. The flavor is always pretty good. But I can't help think of soggy bread when I eat it. What's dumb is I LOVE bread pudding. Which is basically the same thing. Just eggy and sweet. I think it's the savory & spongey texture that puts me off. It's purely a mental thing, I'm sure. And there's more things I'd rather spend my calories on when stuffing is present. Such as more mashed potatos.
Not in my circle of family and friends. I think I'm the only one who has a strong preference about not eating it!I sort of feel like not liking stuffing or dressing is a popular opinion (along with fruitcake hate)1 -

I like the crispy top bits. Spread out on a half sheet pan to bake so it's basically turned into savory sausage, turkey, and sage flavored croutons and I'd be happy! 2 -
