Dumbest things people have said to you about food

Ex coworker who I only ever saw eat meat and cheese: "The one week I decided to try and eat vegetables I gave myself a hemorrhoid".
Lots of tales from the kitchen, especially on tickets, but I was once asked from someone new to FoH why I couldn't make "one half of the steak medium, the other half medium rare" while I was on the grill. Apparently "the cooks did it all the time at the place I worked at before this". Well then maybe you should go back to working in the Hogwart's kitchens.
We used to get these people in my sister's place all of the time as they were about to scarf down some pasta with red sauce smothered in parmesan cheese - not realizing that dish had probably twice the MSG as a bundle of Chinese takeout.

Saying it has nothing to do with cornbread is a stretch. I don't doubt you could make a cornbread out of the ingredients if it weren't deep fried. Regardless the fact that the batter was corn meal based completely escaped her as to the reason why they are called corn dogs.
My mom is terrified when I am cooking and she sees me using black pepper. She thinks black pepper is some form of evil pepper that is beyond hot and will burn her entire organism.
I just dont care and use it normally, she never complains about food being hot, but then the next time I cook the cycle repeats itself: DONT PUT TOO MUCH PEPPER, IT IS TOO SPICY

Corndog batter is pretty much the same thing as cornbread batter, it's just fried. You can also have fried cornbread, a.k.a. hoe cakes or hushpuppies.
better than people saying in-n-out i guess
saw someone say that they thought garlic was only in italian food.
Yea as far as SEA food goes, Filipino food is way down the list.
People who dont eat rice saying bad things about rice like there is anything bad about rice (usually people from the US).
Had a coworker try to become vegan without realizing how many foods she likes have animal products in it all because she wanted to help the environment after watching some peta videos. I hated having to break it to her when telling her the truth about where Jello comes from. XD
Also my mom uses very basic amount of seasonings in her cooking (she does a lot of salt and onions/garlic but also will do paprika, cumin and other herbs and spices) and I love her for it because she actually puts flavor in the food, but my aunt always complained it was "too seasoned" or weird tasting all the time.
This is a woman who makes mashed potatoes with nothing on it, not even butter or cheese. At most all she uses to season anything is pepper. =-=

When I was younger I misunderstood a 'clove' of garlic in a recipe as the whole damn bunch.
Later in life I decided this was a pretty good life hack.
I love ketchup on hot dogs, don't get the hate. I'll eat almost anything, I'm pretty adventurous too, octopus, tongue, intestines, bugs, whatever, it's all good
But ..I just can't do mustard. It makes me gag, it taste like sour socks, I don't get it at all. People be like "even honey mustard?" Motherfucker yes. Honey doesn't make that sour sock sauce taste good wtf.

Lol. Oh I've done worse. May I offer you some Steel Reserve?
Raw kale isn't good. Try making kale chips via baking or a dehydrator, though, as they're awesome.
It's like brussel sprouts. I always thought I hated them because my family and old ex-girlfriend would boil them and so they tasted like dirty socks. Once I tried grilled brussel sprouts I was a fan.
What? It even has a name - Jalapeno Popper Mac and Cheese.
I rarely eat Mac and Cheese but if I do I'm definitely at least putting hot sauce on it.
I am fairly convinced that people who say "all beer tastes bad" have never had any beer aside from what you find in the refrigerated section of the store; the one with all the 30 packs.
"Cold water makes you fat. Why do you think Asians are so thin? It's because they drink a lot of hot tea."

Delicious yes but paying $16 for it at brunch is fucking stupid: it's literally the easiest thing you can make.
"All water tastes the same"
"I don't like eat meat off the bone"
"I don't like sauces that are too chunky"
"I like my meat cooked well done"
"White meat and dark meat are the same"
"Noodles are hard to eat"
"Pepperoni is too spicy"
"Where does maple syrup come from?"
Calling anything frozen or processed "fresh"
Some of these have been said by my current girlfriend...I love her dearly and we both see ourselves getting married one day. She is my soulmate but fuck...her level of food knowledge and sophistication is concerning. Recently, she admitted she needs to step her game up. Her efforts are appreciated, to say the least.
