I’m curious to hear everyone’s unpopular food opinions

[ImNotARegularMumImACoolMum]

AIBU to find lasagna massively overrated.

Ready meal lasagna is point blank rank.
Using jars of sauce makes an alright lasagna but nothing to hype about.
Making it from scratch is by far the tastiest option, but it is just so much effort to make a tomato based sauce while simultaneously making a cheese sauce and then layering to then have to wait for it to cook in the oven!
I’ve never actually had lasagna from a restaurant as it could be very nice but there’s always something that I fancy more.

What is everyone else’s unpopular food opinions?

Middle Eastern and Asian halwa is made with semolina. It's very sweet but pretty good.

Actually, I suspect that lots of people who think they hate aubergine have not had well cooked aubergine. There is a lot if undercooked or badly cooked aubergine out there in the world.

I will eat just about anything served to me. But there are still various foods that I don’t enjoy and some I actively loathe. Often it’s not the foodstuff itself but the preparation that is the problem.

Take tuna for example. Tinned tuna is vile stuff. Yes, even the really expensive tuna that people of tik tok fetishise and make the centrepiece of their tinned fish date nights of disappointment. I will eat the tuna sandwich I have been served, but I will have to steel myself for each bite of it. Tuna sashimi, on the other hand, is absolutely fine. I’d actually enjoy eating it.

Even my rant about bloody peas below… I don’t actually mind fresh, raw peas that much. They’re ok. I’m not going to rave about them. But they’re so much better than frozen peas. There’s a reason the villain in supertato is a frozen pea.

Doughnuts are horrible.

Cake is rank.

Truffle is fucking gross

I love curry, but I’m with you on the korma!! Vile stuff 🤢🤢

Love pasta and mice so spag bol and lasagne yummy

Made with cheese sauce 😂

But slime aka mushrooms are just rank

Roast potatoes old with extra salt

The best !!!

Gravy is meh and over rated.

Trifle is just slop.

Pineapple def belongs on a pizza 😂😂

But green peppers def don't

I think ‘I love pasta and mice’ would be very much a minority food opinion. 😁

Biscoff is massively overrated and so is salted caramel.
Caramel is absolutely delicious on its own, it doesn’t need salt! Wow, I feel better now that’s off my chest 🤣

Cream poured over puddings ruins them. Completely pointless addition. Nothing against cream as an ingredient or e.g. whipped, in a trifle. But pouring cream? No.

Anything more than a thin scraping of butter in sandwiches is gross.

Rare meat is also grim.

Supermarket doughnuts, yum yums, iced buns, cream cakes - ugh.

Har!

Many things I wouldn’t choose but could eat if I had to but the absolutes I could never eat….

Sweetcorn
lemon meringue pie
A burger in a brioche bun (love burgers but brioche is an abomination!)
Cup cake with butter cream 3x the thickness of the cake in a massive swirl on top
and worst of all - bananas - the texture the smell the taste 😱😱 and even worse if they’re over ripe and mushy 🤢

I don't like meat.

Quinoa is like slimy frogspawn.

Anything truffle flavoured is horrible.

@eandz13 I am afraid to ask how you know what nutty diarrhoea tastes like...

@LadyMonicaBaddingham
I'm with you there. Béchamel all the way. An Italian would never use cheese sauce.

Takeaway pizza is a waste of money and always shit.. especially domino's!

Never deviate from your favourite Chinese as you'll just be disappointed-no matter how many people claim it's the best Chinese in the world!

Risotto is the most disgusting food ever-it's like savoury rice pudding 🤢.

I really like hospital food and during my recent stays I was quite sad to leave as I would miss the dinners.

Mine aren't mushy.
Nor are they overly calorific. Many veg and meat/ chicken. Yum!

I love hospital food too!

Every day I hoped corn beef hash would be on the menu again and their school dinner suet puddings and custard are so satisfying.

Olives are rank
Roast potatoes are meh
Sticky toffee pudding is too sweet
So is custard
I’ve never had a good biryani

avocado is vile

Mushrooms, offal, game, Brussels sprouts, cauliflower, fish/fish sauce, oyster sauce sushi, tartar sauce

I'm a blasphemous heathen and make mine with cheese sauce. It's delicious.

I'm also vegan so it's not really cheese. Or beef.
