Welcome to the Unpopular Opinion community!

How voting works:

Vote the opposite of the norm.

If you agree that the opinion is unpopular give it an arrow up. If it's something that's widely accepted, give it an arrow down.

Guidelines:

Tag your post, if possible (not required)

If your post is a "General" unpopular opinion, start the subject with [GENERAL].
If it is a Lemmy-specific unpopular opinion, start it with [LEMMY].

Rules:

1. NO POLITICS

Politics is everywhere. Let's make this about [general] and [lemmy] - specific topics, and keep politics out of it.

2. Be civil.

Disagreements happen, but that doesn’t provide the right to personally attack others. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Please also refrain from gatekeeping others' opinions.

3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.

Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.

4. Shitposts and memes are allowed but...

Only until they prove to be a problem. They can and will be removed at moderator discretion.

5. No trolling.

This shouldn't need an explanation. If your post or comment is made just to get a rise with no real value, it will be removed. You do this too often, you will get a vacation to touch grass, away from this community for 1 or more days. Repeat offenses will result in a perma-ban.

6. Defend your opinion

This is a bit of a mix of rules 4 and 5 to help foster higher quality posts. You are expected to defend your unpopular opinion in the post body. We don't expect a whole manifesto (please, no manifestos), but you should at least provide some details as to why you hold the position you do.

Instance-wide rules always apply. https://legal.lemmy.world/tos/

Crunchy vegetables suck (lemmy.world)

There are some exceptions at times (like pickles), but for the most part, I hate the texture of crunchy vegetables. Particularly onions, broccoli, and cauliflower, but pretty much any veggie, is worse uncooked or undercooked imo. I hate most raw vegetables by themselves or in salads, but undercooked ones may be even worse because I was promised and expecting something cooked. Crunchy peppers or onions ruin a pizza as one example. Under-done carrots and potatoes in a curry, which I had yesterday, is another perfect example.

This may not be a universally unpopular opinion but I definitely feel like I've had a lot of people seem surprised by me not liking raw veggies.

I am at the other end of the spectrum: I love raw veggies! Raw carrots are fire, with mayo. Green beans should be just blanched and kept almost crunchy. Small raw zucchini? Amazing!

Personally, almost unique exception is aubergine, that I prefer well cooked. And still, round purple aubergine, cut think and fried should stay raw in the center

What about garden radish? The hot and crunchy ones?

[–] Eq0@literature.cafe 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

The red and white ones? You can cook those? (I’m not snarky, I have honestly never eaten them cooked)

No, sorry, I meant as a raw veggie. I've never seen anyone cook them. Other than put it on top as a garnish. They can be pickled, though. I just mentioned it since I think it's pretty much the far end of the spectrum in raw and crunchy veggies. I like them, but I've seen a lot of people not like the taste and texture.

I like them, they don’t rank super high in my list of loved ones
