What are some of your unpopular opinions about food?

Krispy Kreme is gross. No texture, way too much sweet.
Hershey's chocolate smells like vomit and looks like wax.

I'd raise the 100 Grand bar to post tertiary and lower the junior mints to second or third tier but I hate mint and I'm being generous there.

I thought it was fabulous, and bought two more bottles. One of my friends hated it, found it way too sour.
I think cucumber is one of the essentials, personally.2 -

Agreed. But peanut M&Ms are good.
Peanut M&Ms are awful! So are the peanut butter ones and I love peanut butter.
M&M minis are BEST ( not that any are worth it to eat IMO)0 -

I don't like the peanut butter ones. I don't like the peanut ones enough to buy them (and I am so not into Halloween candy that I've had the leftover ones -- the ones I like best, as that's what I bought -- since last Halloween and have never been tempted), but a coworker had the peanut ones (the only good ones) at her desk (for others to take) and if I started taking them I kept coming back, especially when there on the weekends, back in the day. NO issue with the regular, which suck.0 -

at my old office they ALWAYS had costco bags of peanut and peanut butter M & m's and I way overdid it... but the Mini's.... those are the best1 -
If you're an adult, you should grow up and eat foods you don't love because of their nutritional value. Sure, have some treats but if you always eat for enjoyment, you're losing enjoyment in other areas of life.0

It depends what you mean by "love". I would never eat food that I don't like, no matter how nutritious it is, but I like a wide variety of foods. I don't "love" broccoli, but I like it, so I eat it regularly. I really don't like lima beans, but I don't feel the need to eat them, because there are plenty of other vegetables that I do enjoy.
If I'm not enjoying my food, I'll eat something else that I do enjoy. I don't think that takes anything away from my life's enjoyment budget.
Maybe you're referring to people are very "picky" eaters, and have the diet of a 5-year-old. I agree that there are some people who need to grow up and learn to eat something more than buttered noodles and chicken fingers.10 -

What if one actually enjoys plenty of highly nutritious foods, so one does not have to "eat foods you don't love" in order to have a good, nutrient-dense diet? I always find it weird when people suggest that eating a healthy diet requires not enjoying everything they eat. Personally, I love most veg, when properly cooked, fruit, and plenty of protein-rich foods, among other things, and I assume that's true for most of us adults.3 -

Definitely disagree but that’s why you posted here. I would NEVER ever eat anything I don’t like or waste calories on things I don’t like. I can say I absolutely love 100% of my food or I would not eat it. I eat a lot of high nutritional value foods like zucchini, broccoli, radishes, tomatoes, onions, cauliflower, lettuce, veggies of all kinds, fruits etc because I crave them and think they taste wonderful.3 -
Candy apples are gross and hard to eat. I have a small mouth and can’t eat apples unless they are cut up anyways lol.3

I don't agree with children getting 'their' food for a meal (a.k.a. as chicken nuggets - fish sticks, fries, etc.,) and the rest of the family eats what is mainly prepared.8

I quite like the smell, but doughnuts are never a thing I crave - haven't had the desire to eat one since being a kid...and even then, I never ate them then either lol!0 -

This.
I never eat anything I don't truly enjoy (at least when I'm preparing my own food and I'm not a guest). If there is a nutrient-rich food I don't enjoy, I can always find another food I like that is a good source of that nutrient. I don't see it as an either/or.4 -

Green ones are only good for cooking the heck out of them with onions and garlic and sausage or steak.3 -

I quite enjoy bell peppers (of all varieties), but I admit my eyes nearly bugged out of my head when my cousin's husband asked me one day, "Do you know how to eat a bell pepper?" and then took a whole green bell pepper (stem in tact and all) and bit into it like one typically would bite into an apple.

Adding to my previous comment, my cousin's husband's method of eating bell peppers looked somewhat like this:
