What unpopular food opinion do you have?

French cuisine is overrated. Snobbery at its best.

I would agree with you - even as a Vegetarian! 😅

I love peas, but marrowfat are vile. I call them Zombie peas. I'm sure they used to be alive and happy at some point, but all that's left of that now is rotting corpses, disintegrating in green slime.

@Graces7 I'm surprised that you don't know that a sphincter is an arsehole.

Not so much real French cookery as you can get a lot of countrystyle French cooking that would feed a herd of hardworking people!

My issue is restaurants and hotels serving so called haute cuisine.. tiny stacks of meat or fish with vegetables and sauces refined to a few drizzles, squiggles or drops on the plate with added sugar and salt in them , and you have to add a shed load of side dishes or go hungry :( Oh and a few well placed leaves or flowers of questionable nutritional value!

Absolutely lethal, unhealthy food that benefits noone except extreme foodies or the owners of these restaurants who are coining it in!

Fine Dining = you need a good plate of beans on toast before going out for a meal.

I disagree with both of your posts here.

Where did I say I don't appreciate "fine dining"?

Its the definition of same I think we have an issue with here.

Fine dining is well cooked food i, enhanced by its preparation and ingredients, but what that preparation and ingredients are or should be is very subjective as is seen by the myriad answers on the thread here. So no one definition really .

That above about little stacks of food and excessively tweaked ingredients is my own personal opinion.

Why do I disagree with your carefully placed but a little incorrect answer...?

First you assume my expressed opinion is somehow telling others that they have to agree.. Where have I said that? Why would you say this at all? Just because you don't agree? If so say so. No need to be bitter about it, we are not reinventing the wheel here!

I am entitled to my opinion about what I think is healthy and can be legitimately called food without you having a pop at me. All sorts of replies on the thread here , discussing all types of food so need to get triggered .

That is the premise of the thread after all.

And how do you know that anyone including Tye Continental OP , has not sampled a tasting menu? And if not, does that preclude them from having an opinion?

If somebody wants chip butties with maple syrup that is their prerogative. Nobody is telling you you have to , you know .

Is the thread not about "unpopular food opinions"?

Why be so against other posters having a perfectly reasonable response to the op?

Or are your responses the only one that are valid?

Bad case of food snobbery, methinks.

Have had them with maple syrup rashes, yum :)

I agree with you . Am a sucker for sweet / salty combo .

Have to be careful with sugar, but doesn't mean I haven't a sweet tooth . Just have to count it so need to know where it is .

I don't mind sweet , salty or unhealthy food as long as I know it for what it is so I can choose whether to eat it or not .

But it might still be an unpopular opinion , who knows 😁

Gotta be careful in case someone thinks we are trying to convert them !

Actual fine dining is extremely satisfying and worth every penny. Pretend fine dining is an excuse to charge more money for less food. There is a massive difference in the two

Just give me the chips. You can keep the steak.
