What unpopular food opinion do you have?

The flake is a nice idea but it's too cold to appreciate it. I like to let chocolate melt in my mouth so i can really taste it. But if you're eating an ice cream that's not going to happen. You can smell the chocolate when you chew it, but it won't really melt so I don't bother with the flake.

I completely agree. I worked in Pizza Hut in college and that's how they're supposed to make them. People complain when there aren't enough toppings, but there are already far too much sauce and cheese. Not to mention that the cheese is really crap, rubbery, plastic, half mozzarella, half cheddar. It's all wrong.

The best bit about a pizza is a the base. Nice dough, cooked in a really hot oven with the beginnings of charred patches and minimal toppings. Delicious when done well. The ones I made in college, were not good.

Chocolate should never be kept in the fridge (except in very hot places).

Yes. Tomatoes in the fridge are no good. They become grainy miserable things. A good tomato is a thing of beauty.

Judging by this thread, my unpopular food opinion is that I love olives, decent olive oil, all seafood but in particular shellfish like mussels and oysters and oily fish like sardines or anchovies, blue cheeses the stinkier the better, chillis, spices, capers, pickles, interesting veg or salads. Quite a lot of the population here prefers such very plain food. Chicken, sausages, pizza, pasta, burgers, coleslaw. That stuff is grand, it's what I cook half the time for kids anyway. and I'll eat it away with them, but given the choice I prefer to choose the more interesting flavours.

Also probably unpopular, but to me, 99's, or anything made from powdered milk products (like protein powder) smells / tastes like something a baby regurgitated.

"Reduced Salt" always sucks.

But they do improve it! 😜

The single nicest food on earth is the toast you get in hospital when you wake up after an operation.

For me anything that's reduced in fat, salt or sugar free is always bad. Just eat something actually healthy like fruit and veg rather than eating a unhealthy product pretending to be healthy.

I never would have guessed, but it seems that the cheesy, soggy and crispy bread that tops French onion soup is controversial.

Personally, I absolutely love it. It's one of my childhood favourites, we used to fight over the bread and leave the soup! But it has to be nice bread, to hold it's shape when soggy and not disintegrate.

No, but you don't cover all of the bread. The edges get a nice, crispy texture from being toasted.

Not right, right back at you.

If a thick burger is cooked to the recommended temperature in the centre, the outsides are all over cooked, dry and hard.

A thinner burger cooks to temperature more quickly, thus preventing parts of it being overcooked and giving a juicier, more evenly cooked burger.

Perhaps if you overcook both, the thicker one might be a little more moist. Cooked correctly, the thinner will always be juicier.
