Don't actually start shit please.

So my take

meat takeis that boneless chicken wings are in all ways superior to normal chicken wings.

vegetarian takeFirm tofu is hands down better than all other forms of tofu, tempeh, etc.

And mash potatoes on pizza isn't actually that bad. Just make it a proper pureé instead of smooshing up a baked potato with a spoon and calling it a day.

Extra firm tofu FTW.

Mashed potatoes as a topping? Sure, not much different than having a cheesy topping on the 'tatoes as a side to a salisbury steak.

Otherwise, I can see it working like the cauliflower crust pizzas. Make a thick potato mash, pre-cook it some in an oven, add the toppings and finish cooking.

doing a pizza with spicy hummus instead of tomato sauce is superior in every way, also pineapples on a hummus pizza is S-tier and italians can eat my ass anti-italian-action

Okay hummus pizza sounds like a completely untapped market that can make you serious bank if you do it right

Ketchup sucks shit. Really good ketchup only sucks moderately less shit than regular.

I never really liked ice cream at all, and this isn't even me speaking as a vegan. Before going vegan, I hated ice cream, and nowadays, even dairy-free ice cream is totally unappetizing and unenjoyable to me.

Italian food is mid. Sweet food sucks. Acidic food sucks. Savory and sour is where it's at. Czechs are better at cooking than the Fr*nch who think they're culinary masters for making animals eat only butter and using endless garlic and butter on everything. Wine is also garbage. Thick, dark beers (so dark they taste like chocolate and bread) are the optimal way to drink alcohol.

Dunno about the Czech cooking part since I don't think I've had anything Czech besides beer, but 1000% agree.

Butter is overrated and vegetable oil is a more than suitable alternative for most instances and in double blind testing most people could never guess which one is which

A good pizza is the best tasting food, superior even to high end dining.

But most pizza is pretty shit.

The texture of refried beans makes it inedible. It also looks like diarrhea.

[–] WizardOfLoneliness@hexbear.net 5 points 2 months ago (4 children)

not a hot take more like a disgusting thought but I wonder what would happen if you made cheese with a mixture of soy and dairy milk, so it has that whey AND soy protein, i wonder what that would be like

[–] LaBellaLotta@hexbear.net 5 points 2 months ago

Honestly probably delicious

[–] Alaskaball@hexbear.net 4 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (1 children)

Okay that's a winner hot take right there

Sorry, I have to do it - Whey is the part of milk that is (mostly) not in cheese. It is the byproduct of cheese making.

if you leave tofu to it's own devices it tastes of nothing + the faint taste of soybeans (depending on type)
so if someone doesn't like the taste of tofu

  • they have cooked it with something that tastes bad
  • their tofu has gone off
  • they are both extremely sensitive and averse to the taste of soybeans

Your geographic distance from Oaxaca/Chiapas is directly proportional to how bad your Mexican food tastes.

the ideal pizza is:

jalapeno, pineapple, mushroom, pepperoni, and anchovies

you get every spot on your tongue activated except for bitter: sweet, salty, umami, savory, spicy, cooling, funkiness from the cheese, acidity
