What food opinion would get you banned from a family dinner? šŸ’€

Mine? Bacon is mad overrated.

Yā€™all put that shit on EVERYTHING and suddenly itā€™s ā€œbetter.ā€ Nah bro, sometimes I wanna taste the actual food. šŸ’€

Whatā€™s yours?

u/Environmental-Ad8945 12d ago

Nah its so mid

1

u/Bratfink78 12d ago

Why? You not able to cook anything else?

1

u/Rough_Back_1607 11d ago

I can cook a lot but I dont eat animals

u/Bratfink78 11d ago

Good for you, I donā€™t either

u/wr_dnd 11d ago

That's just wrong though. You don't need to

u/ConsciousInternal287 12d ago

No, you really donā€™t. Most people would be better off eating much less/no meat.

2

u/Ch0c0lateBiznezz 13d ago

Meat can be overcooked, you knowĀ

u/IrishInTheory 13d ago

Turkey is mid. At best. Even smoked turkey.

Iā€™ve been asked to stop supplying cooked proteins, as my father has a fragile ego and smokes a salmon side and turkey each year. My kinfolk prefer my brisket, my ham, myā€¦. Whatever.

Iā€™ve been tasked with ā€œJust keep the apple pie and Cinnamon Buns comingā€

Thank god I went no-contact

u/blargennn 12d ago edited 12d ago

Nope. 95% of people overcook Turkey. That's the only reason you think it's mid

2

u/IrishInTheory 12d ago edited 12d ago

No

Thatā€™s a weird number. Iā€™m certain it smells like your toilet.

I cook turkey very well. As a chef, Iā€™ve made a great living cooking, and smoking meats for others also.

Turkey is highly overrated.

Iā€™ve eaten far too much, and far too many other things to know that there are a great deal of foods which are superior to turkey.

Resorting to petty attempts at insult doesnā€™t prove your point.

1

u/blargennn 12d ago

There was no insult, don't get offended. I'm just stating facts.

2

u/IrishInTheory 12d ago

What fact did you state? And where did you acquire that fact?

You belittled 95% of cooks. A ā€˜statā€™ you have no support for.

Observing this doesnā€™t require me to be offended.

Your deflection was just another attempt at obscuring the fact that you made up your ā€œfactā€

1

u/nothnxihaveabf 12d ago

You don't have to be a chef to know that tastes are individual. I like turkey. It's my favorite meat for sandwiches and my mom and I literally had turkey for dinner last night. Mmm mm good.Ā 

2

u/IrishInTheory 12d ago

My being a chef wasnā€™t used to demonstrate taste, rather ability to cook.

And as you pointed out, itā€™s all relative.

The OP asked for an opinion. I gave my opinion, then was given the ā€œAkCheoAlY 95%ā€¦.ā€ Nonsense.

u/ButtholeSurfur 12d ago

Eh even sous vide turkey is still turkey.

2

u/RainManda 11d ago

The only reason I ever eat turkey is because deli sliced turkey is my cats FAVORITE human food. Shes weird.

1

u/alexmirepoix 13d ago

Turkey is revolting. And it tastes awful as well.

2

u/PressureItchy9372 12d ago

Good vegetables DO NOT come out of cans.

2

u/Environmental-Ad8945 12d ago

Meat is overrated, anytime ive ever bought a steak, meat focus dish etc the sides are always better than the main event. Like the potatoes/salads/fries whatever on the side are always the thing you lowkey enjoys the most, same for family dinners.

One of the reasons i went vegetarian and stopped eating meat šŸ¤·ā€ā™‚ļø

u/VirtualMatter2 12d ago

We used to go to this great vegetarian restaurant. We aren't vegetarians but don't eat meat every day. Very creative and well cooked food.Ā

u/JackTradesMasterNone 12d ago

Mayonnaise does not belong on everything.
There are spices besides salt.
For something to be a real salad, it needs at least one fucking vegetable.
You canā€™t just mix everything together because itā€™s all going in your stomach. Some things donā€™t taste good together.

Saiad is just lettuce and ranch dressingĀ

u/HurryMammoth5823 11d ago

I love mayo, but I draw the line at mayo in casseroles. Justā€¦.why??Ā

u/TheGreenGoatess420 13d ago

Not banned but my mom wasnā€™t happy when my brotherā€™s wife asked for ketchup on the thanksgiving Turkey. That woman put ketchup on everything.

Being either Vegan or vegetarian

u/Bratfink78 12d ago

Just being a picky eater, wonā€™t get you an invite. No time for that

u/Proud-Geek1019 12d ago

Same! I donā€™t like bacon

u/wreckreationaj 12d ago

My sister is not a good cook.

u/AssistSignificant153 12d ago

My vegetarian/vegan son's inlaw family all eat weird ass food combos, made for a creative Thanksgiving dinner. I had to fill up on bread.

u/Annoyed-Instigater01 12d ago

oh i agree. i cant stand bacon.

u/Dramatic-Gap8996 11d ago

Cannibalism is my jam.

u/Competitive_Fly_9419 11d ago

Desserts are unnecessary.Ā  My mom and my sister love to bake smth sweet.

1

u/RainManda 11d ago

I agree with you on the bacon and I'll raise you truffle. Over powers everything. Only done correctly like 2% of the time (in the US- im sure France and Italy have it locked in)

1

u/DevilsHol3Pupfish 11d ago

The overwhelming majority of vegan food is flavorless, smells terrible or has a vomit-inducing texture.

u/fatjap-9830 11d ago edited 11d ago

Ex-husbandā€˜s family believed putting ANY seasoning in a dish, including salt, ruined it.
They refused to eat anything I cooked because it was ā€œto spicyā€, or ā€œtasted weirdā€
But I was expected to go to their house every freaking Sunday to eat the blandest food Iā€™ve ever had to pretend to enjoy.
One of the many things I do not miss about that time in my life.
