Do you also get really annoyed when someone is in the kitchen while you are cooking or cleaning up? And are horrified when people pour milk first and then put in cereal? Do you feel the urge to correct a person who seems to know what they are doing but are doing it wrong?
It seems that the kitchen attracts a lot of frustration and people can argue about food and cooking for hours. Reddit user rawlingstones know this human trait and when they posed the questions of “What’s your stupidest cooking opinion” they also added “so we can fight about it?”
The fight in the thread was pretty civilised despite some pretty controversial opinions being thrown around. Are there any in this list that you agree with? What is a food opinion that you will fight about? Let us know in the comments!

I don’t care if someone salts the food that I made them before or after trying it. As long as they enjoy it, I’m happy.

I hate when people leave the tails on shrimp especially in pasta dishes. Why not just remove it all?

“Best by” and “sell by” dates can go f**k themselves. If it isn’t growing hair when I open the lid then it’s getting cooked to 165F and that’s money in the bank!

People who are super bougie and refuse to eat mayo because it's "gross", but will then gobble up a trough of aioli if a brunch place puts in front of them are the absolute worst and can f**k right the hell off. It's fancy mayo, b***h. Get over yourself.

Pre-minced jarred garlic is fine and you can pry the Costco sized jar of it out of my cold dead hands on this hill I've chosen to die on.

I've never eaten a dish that was made better by truffle oil.Overwhelming taste and smell. Used solely to add 20% to the price of the dish

Using fresh tomatoes for a tomato sauce is a waste of time. Stop being bougie and used canned.Unless you have a garden and a surplus of tomatoes.

Generations have been brainwashed into thinking they cannot bake a cake or make brownies or muffins or macaroni and cheese without a box mix.

Wrapping things in bacon is the best way to ruin any food. Welcome to this stringy wet meat blanket that only tastes like floppy ding ding and not like what you tried to put it on to begin with.Bacon has a prominent flavor. It's going to be star of whatever you put it in so let it be crisp and delicious and not an accurate representation of your uncle's soggy love for you.
AKA STOP WRAPPING BACON AROUND THINGS

You must used overnight refrigerated rice to make good chinese fried rice.#22
Dividing fillings for sandwiches between two slices of bread first and then flipping it together don't make sense (unless they are viscous enough like PB&J) . Just pile it all on one slice and top it off with the last slice so things don't fall out#23
This is my favourite reddit thread and pomegranate seeds are s**t.#24
Greek yogurt is not a reasonable swap in all the recipes where you would usually use sour cream.Red onions are really purple and they are only suitable for cold or room temperature food preparations.

Much of Trader Joe's frozen food offerings are delicious and nutritious. They are not examples of insipid cultural appropriation.#26
Garlic presses *aren’t* all that bad. Yes, sometimes there’s no use for them and I do hate single use devices, but they have their purpose.

Simply mixing everything together at once for baking rather than mixing dry ingredients and wet ingredients separately is good enough most the time.

I cannot make a burger as good as ones in my favorite restaurants so burgers are exclusively going out foods, not cook at home foods.#29
