Jim Long-un posted:the hawaiian pizza thing is so social media brainworms, it's something completely irrelevant that some people are driven to have extremely strong opinions about because there's almost nothing else inside. it's performative posting, but that's also their identity. they are their consumer preferences, and an empty thirst for likes. imagine being a guy that sees a hawaiian pizza post and wades into that bullshit like my dude get a loving hobby. go outside. go to the window, open it, stick your head out and yell I'M AS M People had strong opinions about Hawaiian pizza before though, I remember it being in movies and tv shows in the pre internet days. I think it’s just one of the polarizing things that tastes weird to some people, like cilantro. I remember there being a lot of debate about anchovies on pizza too.

My kid saw Oscar the Grouch eat a banana pizza years ago and we tried it and now my wife and kid love banana on pizza (I'm indifferent to it, I like more traditional toppings). It gets super carmelized, so it ends up sweet and savoury. I think that's the appeal of Hawaiian as well (which he also likes). Food is food

The difference with cilantro is, beyond there being a genetic component to the dislike of it, no one runs in and tells you about how you're NOT ALLOWED to like cilantro. It's usually just something along the lines of "oh man, I don't get cilantro, it tastes like soap to me". People definitely had strong oppinions about anchovies though, but they're a super strong flavor. Again, I feel like with anchovies most people are like "ughh, I don't want to eat that" and not "you're a bad person if you eat anchovies." There's just something about Hawaiian pizza that attracts attention whores.

I could actually see fried plantains working reasonably well as a pizza topping. Might have to try this sometime soon. Maybe alongside some arugula, goat cheese, and a drizzle of balsamic. Not with a red sauce mind you.

How can anyone find the time or energy to give a poo poo what someone else is eating? Yeah, if you insist on me eating your rhubarb-topped pizza with Vegemite and frogs' legs, I'll put up quite an argument against it. If you want to eat that, knock yourself out. I'll fetch you a well-done steak and ketchup to go with it.

It's the same with beans in chili, some people will spaz the gently caress out over it.

I don't personally care what anyone eats, but I do think it says something about people that never grew beyond the phase where they will only eat chicken fingers and mac and cheese. People should feel free to eat whatever they want, but just know that if you're not adventurous enough to even try new foods, you're probably being judged. I'm not taking about super weird poo poo either, the girl I dated that I mentioned wouldn't go to this Mediterranean place despite never having tried their food, simply because she didn't think she would like it.

the elves are always like "buh, duh, lembas bread, it's delicious," but it's loving not. it tastes like hardtack and a communion wafer hosed in the desert. it tastes like the platonic opposite of a Pop-Tart. it tastes like pizza, if the word "pizza" meant "plaster, but with just a soupçon of lath." meanwhile, I don't even speak elvish and I know it's a loving pleonasm. learn your own language, idiots

EorayMel posted:I'm now suddenly much more thankful that my overall soda consumption was at best a fraction of what yours was and that I almost exclusive drink water nowadays unless I'm having a specific meal or its a holiday or something. What sucks is that the cravings for junk still pop up. Every few months, I'll go on a "I'm going to have a Coke Zero, bag of chips, and a candy bar" lunch and within an hour I regret it. The combo gives me a wicked headache that lasts for hours. On one hand, you'd think I'd change that rare habit up. On the other, I come out of thinking, "Yeah, i need it like this that to remind me..." To keep on topic, I'm pretty much ok with any food these days (I eat mostly plant-based), but the one hump I've not been able to get over are cold pasta salads. If there really is nothing else, I can choke it down, but it's near the bottom of my preference list along with egg-salad.

I will sit and eat an entire bag of raw spinach while watching something. All by itself, though I'd prefer it with hummus. It's so delicious! Cook that spinach, into anything, and I'll pass on whatever it is. From crispy-crunchy delicious leaf to loving slime, just add heat.

my sisters husbands parents, her in laws, host a weekly sunday brunch and expect all 4 of their sons, their spouses, and the grandkids to attend EVERY WEEK. This isn’t christmas, this isn’t a special event, this is just, Sunday. EVERY Sunday. They also expect anyone at all related who is in town to also attend, and get FURIOUSLY upset if you don’t. Like, red faced, trying to restrain themselves from assault level anger. They also serve really bad food in tiny portions and have all these unwritten rules like: -only one teaspoon of scrambled eggs per person. there are 15 people in this room and we cooked less than one egg per person so, literally a teaspoon. -one teaspoon of refried beans out of the can that were microwaved two hours ago (everyone in this story is white fyi) -you get two tortillas, you’re only allowed to put fillings in one -salsa?? yeah it’s on the table but don’t, you know, have any, ok fine but not A WHOLE TEASPOON? They’ll literally gasp in shock. Might was well take a poo poo on the table. -two very thin lozenges of a non-breakfast sausage. TWO!! -Four (4) individual corn chips -you can not be as tall as Old Dad, or have wider shoulders -NO EYE CONTACT -Old Dad and Wife get to Talk, attempts by others to converse are interrupted -why are your shoulders so wide, stop, being a person there in your chair politely you, guy as tall as me you, who I invited -Old Dad is the biggest man in the world ok everyone, have your ration of food? is there food left no one is eating? Is it more food than was taken to eat? Ok good. No one gets that. That’s not eating food. The HOST and HOSTESS now get coffee, there are two cups worth of coffee and we get it and don’t offer anyone else, because you are children. In your thirties. Children don’t get coffee. My mom? Their age? No coffee. Why would we offer anyone coffee. This is our house. We are the money people (they are not money people) If you break any of these rules then ELDERLY DAD will literally growl at you with all the feeble rage that a 70 year old who still hasn’t inherited the million or two he’d hoped for yet can muster. Offers to, go potluck style in the future or bring a starbucks coffee thing for everyone or acknowledge this weird food situation at all, any attempts to feed growing children sufficient amounts result in physical threats of violence and loss of future salsa rights All their adult children and their wives seem resigned to their fate after a decade but i’ve refused to go after a few of these visits and literally said gently caress off to their face after being yelled at. All four of the sons have weird food issues, one eats entire sheet cakes regularly and another only eats hamburgers but never finishes them and makes a show of being disinterested in the last third of each burger. One of them rearranges the furniture to the exact way it looked when he was a kid and glares at anyone getting in his way. also my mom is about as well off as they are at this point I’m not sure where the self importance comes from

I grew up bleaching my vegetables and eating questionable meats from Bengali markets. I'll eat powdered or mashed insects (don't really like feeling the body parts in my mouth), I like spices of all kinds, and if I don't like a healthy food, I'll train myself to like it. Working on beets right now. I do, however, get people angry at me for not liking beer. "You can't say you don't like beer! That's such a wide group!" I've tried Brit, German, Dutch, Indian, Thai and Chinese beers in those countries. Pale and dark. All sorts of flavors. Micro and major. I had a chef friend who also microbrewed. I lived in Portland and knew a bunch of beer hipsters. I have tried enough beer to say I don't like beer. Leave me to my girly drinks, godammit.

I had a friend who would get PISSED AS HELL if you took anything off of her plate like one french fry. I am totally understanding of being annoyed by that and I respect her decision for plate exclusivity, I guess I was just shocked at the level of emotion in her reaction. It was like I had just spit in her face or something. And we were best friends so we shared clothes, books, candy, movies, etc. ! Needless to say, I did not take food from her plate again. I miss her!
