Your Controversial Food Opinions • Page 97

I have commented on, but haven't really made a controversial statement, so here it goes.

Lasagna is way better when made with meat sauce and bechamel (instead of Ricotta).

 

This shouldn't be controversial.

 

I figured it would be, as I don't think I've ever had homemade Lasagna where it wasn't ricotta besides my mom's and we're from the UK originally, and that's just how it's made there. I thought maybe ricotta was just the dominant way Americans made lasagna.

 

Pretty sure it is. I don't know that I've had the bechamel way, but sounds good. People often don't season their ricotta enough.

 

I hate ricotta

 

wow

 

I think it is predominately ricotta here, especially in any chain restaurant or grocery store, and I also think most don't even know it can and should be made with a béchamel.

 

This cookie recipe could change your mind:

 

Maybe it's a textural thing that changes from recipe to recipe. but I had a calzone where it was all crumbly and weird and absolutely loathed it.

 

Ricotta is good as hell. A little dollop on your pasta dish, ricotta toast, can go sweet or savory.

 

Ricotta on baked eggplant cutlets. So goddamn good.

 

So I have long heard that most British people don't like peanut butter and I have heard them describe it as "savory", which to an American does not compute. I have a theory that its because British peanut butter actually just sucks compared to ours. Can anyone confirm?

 

Isn't peanut butter savory though? That's why it pairs so well with sweet.

 

A lot of the peanut butters we have are made with sugar and a bunch of other stuff instead of just straight peanuts, so I think that accounts for most people's characterization of it as sweet.

 

I wouldn't categorize peanut butter as sweet. Unless we're talking like Reese's.

 

Peter Pan is pretty sweet

 

Whipped ricotta is an otherworldly experience.

Peanut butter is a tiny bit sweet, even the unsweetened stuff. Although it is certainly predominantly savory.

 

who the fuck is drinking these Warhead sodas

Cheese—any cheese—is overrated as hell
