Scott and SadieIt’s Friday, so let’s take a break from changing the world . . . to debate the internet’s latest batch of food-related HOT TAKES.
Which of these are RELATABLE . . . and which are CRIMINAL?
1. Mint chocolate is nasty. Quote, “Mint chocolate ice cream is okay, but everything else tastes like toothpaste.”
2. Whoever invented “ants on a log” should be forever socially shunned. (It sounds like this includes ALL versions. The most common is peanut butter on celery, with raisins or blueberry “ants” on top.)
3. Mushrooms are the devil’s food.
4. Boxed mac-and-cheese is better than the restaurant version.
5. Sweet does not belong with savory or salty. Quote, “Every time someone raves about candied bacon, a piece of my soul dies.”
6. Raw tomatoes are disgusting. Quote, “They taste metallic.”
7. The boring, less-sugar, non-weird and whacky mascot cereals are the best. You know, stuff like Cheerios, Chex, Corn Flakes, and Shredded Wheat.
8. Ham and pineapple are okay on pizza . . . ONLY if there are also GREEN CHILIES. (In other words, that sweetness needs a spice counterbalance.)
9. Coffee is too bitter to enjoy, even with sugar and flavorings added. (But someone reminded us of this: “If you put a pinch of salt in the grounds before you brew it, it cuts the bitterness.” Here’s more on that.)
10. Cheese on burgers makes them taste less fresh.
11. The more rare the fish, the better. Quote, “Give it to me raw.”
12. Kalamata olives are a lot better than black olives. (The REAL controversy comes when you’re asked to place GREEN olives in this ranking.)
