White Chocolate
Chefs often use white chocolate in baking, however, there is much conversation about what it actually is. Some people love it, some hate it, and there are even rumors that it is not real chocolate. We love using high-quality white chocolate in baking recipes, it is creamy, super versatile, and can be easily flavored or colored.
Oyster
Oysters are one of those dishes that not only divide opinions but are also very expensive for what you get. Fans appreciate their fresh and delicate flavor, often relishing the oceanic notes, whereas those who dislike oysters find their texture unappetizing and struggle with the taste and smell.
Blue cheese
The strong and pungent flavor of blue cheese can be polarizing, with some individuals relishing its rich, tangy, and earthy taste, while others find its intense aroma and distinct mold veins overpowering and unpleasant. I particularly cannot stand the smell and prefer milder cheese types.
Candy Corn
Candy corn is made of sugar, corn syrup, and artificial coloring, making this one of the unhealthiest and worst-tasting candies in the US. Yet, we all know someone who is the biggest fan!
Liver
The liver definitely devices the nation and is primarily preferred by the older generation. Gen Z finds the flavor and texture of chopped liver off-putting or unfamiliar to say at least.
Pineapple Pizza
Being a huge Italian food fan and someone who visited Italy several times, pineapple pizza is an absolute no for me! Supporters appreciate the contrasting flavors and argue that the sweetness of the pineapple complements the salty and savory elements, while others claim that the fruit's presence disrupts the traditional pizza flavor profile and I could not agree more.
Bacon Maple Waffle
Bacon Maple Waffle is a breakfast dish made with waffles topped with bacon and maple syrup, which is way too greasy and a sweet savory flavor combination that is not highly desired first thing in the morning. Yet, it is one of the most popular brunch meals and popular among all age groups.
Black Licorice
Licorice, with its strong and distinctive anise-like flavor, tends to polarize taste buds. Some people like its bold and slightly sweet taste, while others find it overpowering, bitter, or even reminiscent of medicine.
Cottage Cheese
Cottage cheese is a healthy dairy product often used in Europe in sweet dishes due to its creamy texture and mild flavor. But others hate its slightly tangy taste and curd-like consistency. Some even find it unappetizing or lacking in flavor.
Blood Pudding
We can safely say that blood pudding is not for everyone. It is a type of sausage made from cooked animal blood, usually mixed with a filler such as oatmeal, barley, or breadcrumbs. Have you tried it before? Or is it too strange and off putting for you?
Jello
Gelatin-based desserts or salads molded into various shapes, often incorporating fruits, vegetables, or other ingredients are not as popular as they used to be. Do you still make them? Or are you also skeptical of the weird textures in a jello mold?
Fresh Coriander - Cilantro
The divisive nature of coriander stems from its distinct flavor profile. We love it and cannot imagine Asian-inspired (or Mexican) dishes without it. However many people often describe it as soapy or overpowering, finding it difficult to appreciate its unique taste.
Mint Chocolate Chip Ice Cream
While almost everyone loves ice cream, adding a strong herb like mint to the sweet dessert makes some people cringe. Many people prefer to keep the strong taste of mint out of their ice cream, but others disagree. The minty taste goes pretty well with rich chocolate chips, which may be why it is one of the most popular ice cream flavors in the world. The majority of the people have spoken!
Brussels Sprouts
The strong, powerful flavor of Brussels sprouts is not for everyone. The green veggies can be sweet and juicy when cooked correctly but they can also have a bitter, pungent flavor that turns some people off. The fact that Brussels sprouts are so healthy does add to the appeal of this polarizing vegetable. Are you willing to choke down some Brussles just to get the nutrients?
SPAM
There are plenty of people out there who enjoy this canned meat every single day. SPAM and eggs, a SPAM sandwich or a nice pie of SPAM with a side of veggies can be a complete meal. But while some people open that can of SPAM and smile, others are disgusted by the idea of meat in a can. What exactly is it? Why is it so squishy? Is it supposed to be that color? SPAM may be a food that no one can ever agree on.
Tofu
So many people love tofu. They even rely on tofu to add some plant-based protein to their vegetarian diet. But other people find tofu absolutely repulsive. The spongy, squishy texture is a little off-putting. But there is just so much you can make using tofu as an ingredient! If you can stomach it.
Olives
Olives are salty, briny, and an appetizer that so many people love. But a lot of other people can't stand olives. They are slippery, slimy, and have an odd chewy texture. While some people will eat olives straight from the jar or pop them into a drink, so many people look at olives and want to vomit. So which side are you on?
Kale
Kale is definitely a food people love so much or can't even stand. Kale does have a weird texture and strong taste so we can see why some people may like it and others don't. Large kale also has a different flavor than baby kale so even that will cause a difference in opinion. Plus, some people like cooked kale but hate it when it is raw. There is just a lot going on with kale that people just can't decide about. We get it!
Coffee
Plenty of people cannot start their mornings without a warm cup of coffee. Then, on the other hand, there are people who can't even stomach the smell of coffee. It simply makes them feel ill! There are just as many people out there who love coffee as there are those who hate it. Is coffee good? It really depends on who you ask.
Green Tea
Green tea has a very strong flavor. Just one sip can dry out your mouth, but it can also warm your soul with healthy nutrients. You either adore green tea or you want to pour it down the drain—there is no in-between.
