Your unpopular food opinions

[Okie State 3,821]

Sometimes I wonder if people realize there are more styles of beer than just IPA's. Always seeing those referenced by people who prefer Macros.

But @Johnny Sack is right that macros are more enjoyable than an IPA. I don't drink enough to ever have one of either, but if I did it would be a macro. The few times a year that I do drink I end up with a micro stout.

[Okie State 3,821]

Oh, I totally get why people don't like IPA's. Just not sure why they've become synonymous with all craft beer.

Taco Bell is one of those things where you can recognize it for what it is, and isn't.  It is not quality of food any kind.  It does, however, taste fine, especially when you're drunk or stoned.  And it's very cheap.

The downside is (at least I do) that you tend to feel like complete death within an hour of ingesting it, and it's probably pretty much poison.

Just about everything on the menu is a form of ball park nachos with crappy taco meat.

Because they are the easiest to make and every shit micro brewer in the country has at least one.  And they all suck. More hops isn't the answer.

Not if they're going to be any good at all.

I've seen a lot of terrible breweries manage to not fuck up things like stouts or cream ales, but be completely incapable of making a good hoppy beer.

The parenting failure isn’t that Lil’ Brisket wanted to go to McD’s in Paris, it’s that he ordered the Filet O Fish. 

That boy fucking LOVES him some seafood.  Yesterday as a snack, he picked up some Trader Joe's tuna burgers, and ate two of those.  Then, I had some snapper filets that I cooked for dinner the next night (had to cook them, was going to put them in the fridge).  Nope, he ate two.  Dude will eat all the fish.  During lent, when everyone has their fish sammich specials on, he's in heaven.  The last couple of months, he's had the 2 for $5 sammich deal from McDonalds, Arby's, and at least a couple of other places.

He is who he is - if seafood is on the menu, that's what he's getting.

We’re gonna have to agree to disagree on the definition of seafood.  Trader Joe’s tuna burgers make the cut, the FoF does not.

Funny how these “unpopular ______” threads always seem to morph into “we’ve mostly all always been thinking it but didn’t want to go against surly group-think” threads.

And yeah, IPA’s suck.

Might as well put my unpopular opinion out there:

I don't like cheese. I don't like the taste, the consistency of it, the smell or how it looks. Mac 'n cheese is disgusting. I've never tried queso because I can't get past the smell. It makes me want to throw up just thinking about the smell of it. I'll never eat a cheeseburger. I'll never eat lasagna. I'll never eat quesadillas and I'm completely ok with that. I'm used to the odd looks and the 'what? how can you not like cheese?' questions I always get. 

American cheese is some of the worst smelling shit ever created. Blue cheese is a close second.

Sausage served at any bbq place is so overrated.  Opa’s Jap and Cheese from the grocery store is better.

Also, apparently appropriate in this thread, cheese in sausage is disgusting.  Japs are ok, but the cheese adds a cloying element that, IMO, is gross.

And that's where we were, the 14 yr old didn't "make" me do anything.  It was much closer to "hey, we're walking by a McDonalds [it's amazing how many there actually are in Paris], I need a snack."  This was at a stage where he was eating 6-7 "meals" a day.  In Berlin, he grabbed a wurst from a street vendor every time we saw one.  In Austria, he grabbed snacks from bakeries.  Mostly, we just shoved 8,000+ calories a day in him.  And yeah....he DID enjoy getting a rise out of me by asking for McDonald's.  In Paris.  It was kinda the whole gag.

Those street wursts are delicious. I'd get one every time, too.

A cheese-less pizza is like a hairless cat.  I mean, sure they exist, but they're both horrifying and should be terminated on sight.

Kind of depends on the ratio of other toppings to the cheese. I won't eat a plain cheese pizza, but if it's a works or supreme and the cheese is light, I'll eat a couple of slices. My gf and I order a works with easy cheese occasionally, but we just don't get it very often.

I'm not a dick about it though, and I don't make my issue everyone else's. If I go to watch a game at someone's house or something and all they have is pizza, I'll try and find a slice without much cheese or I'll pass.

Agree with Al here. Stouts are much easier to make than IPAs. Because there's so much strong malt flavor, you really have to try to fuck up a stout. Some are definitely better than others, but aside from an infection or getting too cute with some seasonal spice, it's still going to be drinkable.

OTOH, IPAs can go south quickly as there's more nuance involved in balancing humulones and lupulones. But I suppose if you're only goal is to make it bitter af, then, yeah, it's not that difficult.

I mostly agree. I mean, I like a lot of them, but hardly drink it. I will go through phases where I might pick up a couple six packs, then not drink any for months. I never, ever buy beer st sporting events.

I don't mind beer, but I rarely drink it.  I did drink more than enough of my share during my teens and twenties though.

This is exactly right.  And I really don't like tap beer.  Every place you get a particular kind of beer, say Dos Equis, it taste different.  If and when I do get a beer while I'm out, it will be from a bottle, but even that is very rare.
