It’s natural for people to have different tastes – taste in music, movies, interior design, clothes. The same goes for food. Different people like the taste of different things. Some people have a sweet tooth, others go crazy for all things savory. But can we say there are foods that almost everyone likes? Pizza, maybe?
Redditor YarnSpectre wanted to know if there are popular foods people just don’t get the hype about. They asked netizens ‘What’s one food everyone seems to go crazy for, but you just don’t understand the hype?’ And the people delivered – from parsley, truffles and pumpkin spice to olives, kombucha and bacon. Wait, there are people who don’t like bacon?!
Truffles… WTF?…. Tastes like leaf mold mixed with aged compost and everybody’s like oooooohhh… it’s expensive so I love it…….nobody needs truffle oil on their French fries damn it
Coffee. Not really a food but I can’t stand the smell or taste. Literally everyone I know loves it
Macarons. I never cared for them either. I had one yesterday at a potluck, homemade ones. They were seriously something else, with some sort of butter cream and jelly inside. Never had anything quite like it. Now I wish I had grabbed a few to take home. Still won’t eat store bought ones though.
It does NOT taste like cheese. It smells like what I imagine an early to mid severity case of trench foot would.
Peanut butter is disgusting. My grandfather used to call me unamerican for hating it and I always thought it was a weird insult. But it turns out it’s not as common in other parts of the world? I married a Russian guy and he didn’t grow up eating peanut butter and can’t stand it either. Our son doesn’t eat it either. I love that none of us eat it. I mean, I never think about it, but when I do remember, it makes me feel cozy.
Every time McRib comes back, I’m SUPER excited for it. I bite into one and then…the spongey texture hits me and makes me remember why I don’t need to buy it ever again.
Then, somehow, McRib season rolls around again 2 years later — and there I am in line…
I’ve lived in Texas for the last ten years, and I just don’t understand why everyone here goes so crazy for jalapeños. They’re alright, but they put them in literally everything except breakfast cereal. It’s overkill.
Poutine. Cheese curds are a big nope from me. Especially on soggy fries. I’ve had someone tell me “but they squeak on your teeth!” as if that would somehow change my stance lol
Most red velvet cakes are just sh**ty vanilla cake with red food coloring. Get one (or make one) the correct way with non-Dutch-processed cocoa powder, buttermilk, and vinegar. It’s an incredibly smooth, very different type of chocolate cake.
