I like pho, but I would gently caress up a bowl of bun bo hue over pho every time

I like soups and stews in general, but only when it's cold out. Pho I can do when it's summer but I generally prefer not to. Note: I'm in Houston, so warm and hot are relatively high numbers for both temperature and humidity.

Maybe it’s not that I don’t like soup it’s just that I equate it with hangovers and feeling like poo poo. Oh no, am I the problem?

I love pho so much but have never been able to get down with tendon (it's like you're eating flavorless styrofoam) or tripe (flavorless rubber bands). It's either rare flank or meatballs for me.

If they still have the skin on you just described my ideal mashed potatoes. Miss me with that cream of wheat adjacent poo poo. Admittedly I will devour a package of instant from time to time.

My hot take: red wine goes better with salmon than white wine. Other fish, sure, I'll stick with convention. But not salmon. Red wine for the red fish.

Red wine goes well with most foods, it’s absolute nonsense that some foods are “white wine only” I was a work Christmas dinner once, and one of my French colleagues was horrified at me having mustard and red wine with my turkey, and all I could feel was pity at him being so straitened by convention that he couldn’t even moisten his dry slab of turkey with a bit of Dijon Scientastic fucked around with this message at 23:11 on Oct 21, 2022 |

Mid-rare pork is gross. I grew up with shoe leather chops for “safety” and now I just don’t do either. I try and try and I just can’t, the texture gets me every single time.

Overly meaty sandwiches are bad. This is inclusive of multiple meat toppings as well as sliced meats piled 3 inches high.

I think a whole lot of Asian food would be vastly improved if you browned the veggies and meat. Did that to galbi jjim (Korean braised short rib) and my mom was impressed

Hamburgers that aren’t smash burgers taste way better if you preseason the meat and mix it in. Whatever textural benefit you get is not worth the inside of the burger being unseasoned ground beef.

Bad foods Tenderloin - beef or pork, doesn't matter, both garbage White wine - awful, get it out of my sight. Orange wine is at least palatable Caviar with blini - bland, zero texture. Put the caviar on a potato chip for god sakes Truffle - Single most overrated ingredient of all time Japanese cheesecake - studio ghibli rear end cake, zero cheese flavor Neapolitan pizza - Roman style, specifically pizza tonda, is better 110% Wet curry - dry curry is just better, sorry French cuisine isn't even a top 5 continental cuisine (Italian, Spanish, Greek, Turkish, Portuguese are all superior).

And what, I ask, causing a thousand Italians to become incandescent with fury at my not knowing, is the difference between Neapolitan and Roman pizza? Also you forget Austrian, absolutely the best kitchens in Europe.

- Dry/acidic wines are bad, and only snooty marketing convinces the gullible that they're worth drinking. - Ontario is ten years behind America in the microbrew scene, they still think having more hops than malt is the mark of good beer.

I know nothing about the Ontario beer scene, but the overwhelming majority of breweries that I have gone to here in America over the last five years still believe this too. Edit: Austin and Denver beer scenes for context. If there are other areas that have moved past this, please let me know.

That said, there's a small wave of diversity at the moment in the form of pilsners which I'll take over "nothing but IPAs". Hot take: I've been greatly cutting down my consumption of beer. Partially for health, partially out of boredom.

The Massachusetts beer scene has several breweries (Night Shift bring the principal one) who are far, FAR too interested in sours. There's definitely hoppy beers but the "make it as hoppy as gently caress" trend broke several years ago with hard seltzers, sours, and, mercifully, several breweries focusing on really well made Central European style lagers. Treehouse is a great example - used to be that their offerings were all huge NEIPAs but now they have dozens of beers of all styles. Trillium too, though to a lesser degree If you're ever in the area, Notch is the best brewery in New England
