Post your most controversial food/drink opinions

[Orang Utan]

OK, so apologies for blatantly stealing this off twitter.
I'll start with three:
Instant coffee is better than real coffee
Fizzy soft drinks are for kids
Beans in an FEB should always be served in a ramekin so the customer has the choice to mix them with the rest of the breakfast or not.

Caviar is much too good to only be for the rich!

 

[Spymaster]

Plain white sliced bread (Sunblest, Mothers Pride, etc) makes better toast than brown/wholemeal/granary ...

 

[Mogden]

Oreos are horrible. See also Maryland cookies.

Mayonnaise is evil oily shit.

 

[weltweit]

Margherita with pineapple and anchovies for the win!

 

[Supine]

Caviar is shite

Pickled onion monster munch is a refined and delicate flavour

Instant coffee is better than real coffee

This makes me angry

Just admit you don’t like coffee and be done with it

 

[DotCommunist]

beans first, then cheese on top when having a baked potato

Bacon doesn't taste as good as it smells when its cooking

any marrow bigger than a courgette tastes of greywater and nothing.

i do, just as long as it's freeze dried and granulated. seems to take the bitterness out of it. wish it were stronger though. 'real' coffee does have that advantage, granted

People who insist that others who like instant coffee "don't like coffee" are pretentious clots.

Is that controversial?

Let me guess, tipped up with half a mug of milk and several sugars, i.e. not coffee, just a mug of scented sweet shit

Good coffee is life affirming, like good food and good booze

That's entirely dependent on roast (with real coffee I mean)... lot of supermarket stuff is roasted to dark and bitter. Also Nespresso type machines are shit for bitterness. But a decent cup of coffee should be less bitter than instant. To each their own though.

no sugar, but loads of milk. if i have real coffee, i have it black though

Thank goodness we have people like you to tell us what's good and what's not!

True , I hate sourdough toast

 

[dessiato]

I love dolphin sandwiches, although it's very difficult to find these days. Must be ten years since I last ate dolphin.

 

[nogojones]

Laverbread is an essential item on a FEB

Don't most people agree with that though?

 

[weltweit]

The rule is that if you bake your own bread you will tend to eat it immediately because it will be that good.

Tea: milk in first

i wouldn't toasted sourdough is lush with marmalade

Takeaway pizza is one of the worst value propositions in human civilisation.

 

[shifting gears]

FWIW I’ll drink instant if I have to but I will moan [emoji23]

 

[Epona]

I really don't care whether coffee is in a freeze dried form or is from coffee beans harvested by silent monks from lemur droppings in the foothills of Madagascar, as long as it delivers caffeine to my system in a hot liquid form before anyone talks to me in the morning then I might not snap at them!

The only good egg is scrambled egg.

Alcohol should taste like alcohol.

No alcopops or fruit ciders for me!

I can imagine that it is possible to make decaf instant coffee but how does one make decaf tea?

I have some so I know it is possible.
