What's a food hill you 100% die on? (Please talk about food related topics)

Pork tastes good, but the US overrelies on pork and beef. We really should start adding more variety to our commonly available meats. I suggest lamb meat should be more common, but thanks to a certain incident in the world wars, the US doesn't want to try it.

I agree with lamb, goat too. Both are delicious and outside of specialty markets, it is pretty hard to find.

Veganism sucks, and they generally eat less healthy than just regular vegetarians.

Lobster is overrated; it's fine to eat if you live somewhere like Maine or the Channel Islands, but everywhere else it's overpriced, and shrimp, crab, and/or crawfish are a better choice.

Hot sauce lovers are too obsessed with how much capsaicin is in the sauce. Different chili peppers have different flavors, and the important thing when making spicy food is that the flavors pair well, not that it's the hottest possible. This is something South Americans, Indians, Koreans, etc. all understand, but spice snobs still don't get it.

Vanilla is not bland; whoever decided on calling bland things vanilla had no taste buds.

Girl Scout cookies have lowered in quality a lot.

The way people eat salads is not healthy; we generally put too much salad dressing on them.

Fried foods taste good, but do we really have to fry everything? Let's give our digestive systems a break, please.

Yep, agree with pretty much everything except for girl scout cookies since I don't live in murica.

I agree with the rice thing. We make tacos. Then we make taco rice. We make western skillets. Then we make skillet rice.

Fake crab is better than real crab and they don't taste the same at all.

Most people who say they don't like Liver have never actually eaten a properly cooked liver (same with gizzards and hearts).

Escargot tastes exactly like greasy fried eggs.

Different brands of ketchup do taste different.

Everything is better with cheese. Including the aforementioned rice (seriously, bacon & egg fried rice with melted marble cheese).

It might be one of the the blandest spices but Black Pepper is still a goddamn spice.

During one of the world wars, Australia sold the US canned mutton that was bad (lots of toxic substances found their way into the cans at the factories), so many people got sick. After that, the US never gave Lamb another chance. It wasn't the sheep's fault; it was the Australian factories' fault that there was lead inside the meat.

It might be one of the the blandest spices but Black Pepper is still a goddamn spice.

Flour is the blandest spice, people still love it though.

Love Liver. Will never understand the hate for it. Liver and Onions cooked and served in a gravy made primarily with Worcherstershire Sauce is....oh gods its delicious.

Bacon, Egg, & Cheese sandwich is still the King of Breakfast Sandwiches. It's practically blasphemy to me to say otherwise.

I didn't know that. Wish we would open back up to it.

Pretty sure that flour isn't a spice. Spices come from bark, roots and in the case of peppers, seeds of a plant. Herbs from the leaves, flowers. Grains mostly come from seeds so I think it is a grain. The blandest spice would probably be paprika that has gone stale.


Water is scientifically classified as lava and geologically, ice is a mineral rock. The reason being that lava is defined as mineral compound that has been liquefied via heat. Thus, soup is a lava potion.

Fried onions go with everything. Seriously, I just had fried onions as a topping for ice cream.

Pineapples on pizza are okay if they are part of a fruity curry.

Ice cream isn't a food but a drink.

Your opinion on Milkshakes? The amount of people that get annoyed with me for eating a Milkshake with a spoon is....surprising.

According to the second definition of a sandwich, a sandwich is also a bread of any kind with other food items on top. Pizza, pancakes, crepes, Flatbread, etc. Are all sandwiches.

Definition of SANDWICH

two or more slices of bread or a split roll having a filling in between; one slice of bread covered with food… See the full definition

In the culinary arts, a spice is any seed, fruit, root, bark, or other plant substance primarily used for flavoring or coloring food.

Flour is a powder made by grinding raw grains, roots, beans, nuts, or seeds.

A grain is a small, hard, dry fruit...

Checkmate!

 

[RepresentingWrath]

Oh, right! Forgot about this one. If you sprinkle flour on top of baked goods you are an idiot since raw flour is disgusting and overtakes everything. I don't mean sprinkling flour so that whatever you are baking won't stick, but sprinkling some flour on top after the baking was done.

Pizza and Pancakes are sandwiches!!!! .....I'm wondering if the God-Emperor is aware of your budding heresy?

The first time I ever made gravy for something, I was not aware that you are supposed to stir the raw flour in water first before pouring it into the pan.....so I just dumped several teaspoons of raw flour into the pan while it was hot....and was confused as hell when all of these little clumps of burnt flour wouldn't dissolve or break down in the rest of the mixture like I thought they were supposed to do.

Raw flour on an already baked good? You are correct, it is gross; it's meant to help flavor food while cooking, not after cooking.

Yep. I ruined a very large batch of sausage gravy that was supposed to feed 12 people for a celebratory thing that was being done at a neighbor house. It was a breakfast-for-dinner kind of thing.

 

[Deleted member 206441]

It is made with a grain flour, with protein, liquid, and rises. It is bread.

I said what I said.

First of all, you aren't eating it with a spoon, you're still drinking it. Second, there is no second. It's easier to get the remains out than with a straw. I mostly do the same.

People who like to eat make better cooks, compared to cooks who don't enjoy the act of eating.

I've found this to not be the case; I know plenty of people who love eating but suck at cooking; they spend a ton of money eating out. The best cooks are the ones who love feeding others.
