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?

Roast dinners are revolting. Too much. No one needs a days calories in one sitting. Plus the taste all slushy.

Agree. I’ve tried different types of chocolate from different countries and I have yet to have one that makes me prefer/choose it over fruit or vanilla.

The chocolate I do prefer has to have another flavour with it like nuts or coconut for me to enjoy it.

I like tinned chicken in white sauce. Apparently it smells like dog food. I love it!

How could you think that?! I've cooked extras to have leftovers tomorrow.

Why would they be?!

Fried eggs on a breakfast or in a sandwich are an absolute waste of eggs. As soon as you pop the yolk, you get one mouthful of yolky goodness before it runs around your plate and dries. Then all you have is the flavourless gelatinous white for the rest of your meal.

Scrambled all the way.

Mince pies are horrible.

Charlie Bigham’s lasagne is great.

Avocado is like mushed up snots

Loads of people use cheese sauce when they mean bechamel in my experience.

Baked beans are disgusting and should be banned.

Haggis and black pudding are both lovely.

Christmas pudding is overrated, not that nice

Salted caramel is a con perpetrated by chefs who are too used to salt.

Chippy always smells better than it tastes..

😱

Pigs in blankets are overrated

You're making it wrong. Make a ragu, not a tomato sauce. Use cheese (ricotta, mozarella) not cheese sauce.

I don’t get lasagne either. Spaghetti does not go with bolognaise- but don’t really like bolognaise either but if I must with penne.
i hate meal planning.
crispy chilli oil makes most things taste better.

There is a time and a place for bland shite...ok it's not for everyone but not everything has to be served with a cajun twist or sriracha infused. Plain old fried beige shite has it's place.

Cheesecake is gross and so is Red wine.

I don't like bacon. Smells amazing. Tastes...meh 🤷

I also dislike ice cream.

Sausage, chips, peas, ketchup?
Any kind of tomato containing meal served with pasta/rice/potatoes/whatever and veg - fine, just not peas

Lemongrass makes dishes taste like fairy liquid has accidentally been added

Agreed.

I love a jar of dolmio white lasagne sauce when I make a lasagne. I don’t care if it’s not home made, not traditional and not bechamel!

I like really overdone roast chicken.
