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?

I don't like chocolate ice cream. Vanilla is so much better

Coke (the drink) is disgusting stuff.

Sweet and sour ..sorry but that's so wrong . Yuk

Tomato ketchup isn't that great. Unless you mix a good shake of Worcestershire sauce into it. Then it's the food of the gods, especially with kippers and a slice of buttered wholemeal toast.

Oh, and I agree about ready meal lasagne. It's rubbish. Like so many Italian dishes, lasagne lives or dies by the quality of the ingredients.

I can never be bothered making both sauces for lasagne from scratch, so only ever cook it when there's a pot of ragù bolognese in the freezer from a previous batch cook.

I think Italian and French food is crap

Totally agree. Gravy is disgusting and only belongs in stews and casseroles. I don't want my food made soggy especially things that should be crisp like roast potatoes, yorkshire puddings, chips etc. I am not a baby and do not need to eat mush

I also want my food to taste of what it is not gravy.

Marrowfat processed peas are delicious, as are Worcestershire sauce sandwiches (has to be white bread)
I don't get the hate for Cadburys chocolate. I much prefer it to posher brands.

Very true, reminds me of when my sister said dried figs are like eating sand

100% Agree

I love salad cream sandwiches. Got to be white bread

Can you please tell me what dolmades you buy? I absolutely love them but the fresh ones in Sainsburys are terrible.

I love pineapple on pizza.
There's nothing wrong with salad cream.
Gravy is shite.
Truffles taste and smell like a public convenience.
I like airline food.

Sweetcorn in foods especially in salads, savoury soups like chicken noodle and on pizza is unnecessary.

By itself not bad but heavily prefer baby corn over it.

@cristokitty I buy the tinned Greek/turkish (not sure which they are) ones at a big world foods supermarket we have in Bath

Nuts are a savory food that have no place on or in chocolates or ice cream.

The dolamdes lidl have in sometimes are divine. Come in a big blue and white tin with a plastic lid and a little fork with most of the writing in greek

Apart from fish and seafood dishes.
Seafood pasta with parmesan - seriously, wtf, do these people even have tastebuds.

@purplecorkheart my H loves coconut water- tastes like milk gone rancid to me!

I also hate those aloe Vera drinks with lots of bits in it- revolting and slimy

Italian coffee isn't that great.

Chips with mayo > chips with ketchup

Restaurants calling everything tapas is just a way to charge more for small servings, while pretending to be so European and sophisticated.

Happily the trend seems to have peaked.

I’m a chiropodist…. Gruyère fondue smells exactly like athletes foot.

Walking round Paris restaurants of an evening and the whole place smells of fungal feet.

I like soggy things. I will select the soggiest Yorkshire pudding, never the crispiest. Ideally all chips would be drowned in gravy so they're nice and soggy (ideally most things would be drowned in gravy / some sort of sauce). Puddings should be drowned in custard too which is basically sweet gravy.

@Lemonyfuckit I like gravy and custard too - partly because I've got shit teeth these days !! They
