What are some of your unpopular opinions about food?

I love nuts/seeds any which way lol!
What's not I'm feeling an unpopular thing is my dislike of whipped butter. Mind you, I've only had the stuff they plop on top of pancakes..🤢0 -
Same really, except macadamia in cookies! Nut butters, yes!pancakerunner wrote: »Idk if this is unpopular either, but I don't like nuts in my banana bread or fudge or brownies

Unpopular: brownies are too just plain chocolately without nuts, so nuts improve them (although good brownies are good with or without nuts). Fudge is terrible and nuts cannot save it. Banana bread is good with or without nuts, I don't really care.2

Anything with MSG makes me sick. I threw up once in the middle of the night after eating a bag of Doritos not knowing it has tons of MSG. So I need to avoid it completely. People sometimes add MSG to their cooking, especially asian food, which is too bad for me.0

One of my favorite recipes from mama is for banana chocolate chip cookies. (This isn't necessarily an unpopular opinion, just a comment. That they're a soft (cake/quickbread-like) cookie might be unpopular, though. Or that the original recipe called for lard. 😆)3 -
on the topic of cookies... what's everyone's favorite holiday/christmas cookie?0

Growing up whenever I would make banana bread I would purposely undercook the center and eat it with a spoon haha2 -
When we had a work cookie exchange for the holidays I would usually make snickerdoodles, but that's not really a Christmas cookie, just a cookie I like.1

I think I'm smelling a new post devoted just to this one topic!
However, I'm not sure I can answer this...I love too many holiday cookies equally in their own unique way 🤷♀️0 -
I'm not mostly a fan of the majority of traditional Christmas cookies (the frosted sugar cookies and such). They look nice, but tend to be Just Sweet, not that interesting. An old family friend used to make a kind of frosted sugar cookie with date filling, which was better.
If I were making, I'd be making some normal cookie I like, such as real shortbread, macaroons, or the vaguely cookie-esque biscotti. I like making macaroons, because for some reason people seem to think they're fancy, but they're one of the easiest things to make; and I have a recipe that (maybe blurring the macaroon/macaron border a bit) includes marzipan (I love marzipan).
I do like Springerle, though, which is sometimes considered Christmas-y. Because they're anise-flavored, that's possibly an unpopular opinon.1 -

I'd rather have chocolate , peanut butter or toffee chips than nuts, except macadamia Ilove fudge, expecially maple! I do not like banana nut bread- or banana muffins, anything banana except bananas themslves
Zucchini bread > banana nut bread
Toffee and butterscotch blondies > regular brownies

I don't think this is unpopular, but I love macarons. I used to live next to a French-style bakery, and it was way too tempting to go there on the weekend and buy some (they'd have different flavors each time).
I like zucchini bread a lot, but pretty much the same amount as banana bread.1 -

I use to make an oatmeal short bread cookie shaped like trees with green sour-cream frosting with dots of regular frosting for Christmas lights. they were not as sweet.
I love macaroons2 -
"Gourmet" grilled cheese sandwiches are overrated. Gimme a american cheese slice grilled cheese with ketchup any day2

That's an interesting one: I've had grilled cheese with tomato; have never even thought of using ketchup. Wouldn't the sweetness clash with the cheese a little? Maybe?0 -
Something about “smoothies” disgusts me. Totally irrational because I’ve never had one, but yuck! I think it is because they contain stuff that doesn’t go together, in my mind.0

I LOVE ALL the cookies, except macarons. Just can’t.0

I hate macaroons, but love macarons.
That one "o" makes a HUGE difference.2 -

I love macaroons (though almond more than coconut, but *good* coconut ones are awesome). Maybe I just haven't had a good macaron yet (decent odds, so I'll keep trying), but the ones I've had so far have been pretty meh.
Until I see the light, we could buddy up, and divide with macaroons to me, macarons to you, maybe?1 -

That’s a deal! I’m just not a coconut fan.2 -
I've had some macaroons that are way way too sweet - ick. Other (less sickly sweet) are ok - I could pass though.
Really quite like macarons - yum1 -

I think macaroons are eh, and also love macarons.0 -
Thinks homemade/thick eggnog is very nasty....Although appreciates the flavor of a thin/cartoned version from the store0

I don't like gourmet grilled cheese (correction, I'm sure I'd like them fine, but when they are on offer there's always something more interesting I want to order), but think the best cheese for grilled cheese sandwiches made at home is obviously swiss cheese.
I hate peppermint bark.1 -
