In this thread, quite simply, you choose any random food or drink item; one you attack and why; one you defend and why.

Post your two; one attacked, one defended in a karmic balance of lame and luscious!!

[Norton1]

These are getting more and more bizarre.

[TotoMimo]

Attacked: Mayonnaise. It sucks. It's like white globs of fat you ruin relish ingredients like tuna with!

Defended: McDonald's Salads. Ripped to shreds for being. " pointless" and "crap"... They actually taste delicious and the freshest fast food salad in UK.

[Fusion]

Attacked:


They are the definition of mundaneness. Sure, for a 12 year old they may seem a novel item (chips in 2 minutes) but there's nothing redeeming about them. Even with salt, vinegar and sauce they're still so so.

Defended:


Rustlers BBQ rib. Fusion's theory is that the most vocal critics of Rustlers have plenty of these skeletons in their closet . Why? Because they are cheap, convenient AND delicious.

[K the Failure]

Don't all of your threads just boil down to 'tell me food you like and hate'?

Attacked:

Spoiler:

Show

Chips


Disgustingly greasy.

Defended:

Chips


Disgustingly greasy.

[CrazyPyramid]

Attacked:

Baked beans. Rancid.

Defended:

Sauerkraut. It's really quite yummy if it's made well. And who couldn't fail to love something so ridiculously German?

[TotoMimo]

To the untrained eye, my threads are similar. To foodtastic foodzoids however, this one distinguishes itself by allowing you to champion a food unfairly shunned and take another more unfairly praised one down a peg- with no limitations on food genre/type! then perhaps others can jump to defence if they disagree, or concur appropriately!

Like:

ATTACKED: I think Nutella is way eclipsed by it's own hype and a bit mediocre.

DEFENDED: People outright hate Liver/Heart etc, without even tasting 'em, but they are some of the most nutrient dense, immensely tasty meats ever!!

I've always wanted to try one of these but never want to order a whole dish for myself just in case I dont like it

[TotoMimo]

Attacked: SEEDS. I am just not a pigeon is all. Crap snack; not filling, jams in teeth, tastes crap, full of fat.

Defended: BILTONG. Delicious, lasts forever, low fat, man points. What's not to love??

[Fusion]

ATTACK

Restaurant desserts. Too much style over substance. That wonderful pattern of strawberry syrup is not effecting my taste buds.

DEFEND

Supermarket own label tubs of icecream. Substance over style. Admittedly no turner prizes here.

[dani_1991]

ATTACK:

Meat feast pizzas. Especially deep pan. Worst take away pizza options ever

DEFEND:

Granola! It's not bird food, that's muesli, granola is goooood. Country crisp, supermarkets own, you mame it. Supermarket own brands are better though, cheaper and tastier often rocky road granola being just ine example And Tesco granola traybake is amazing, FACT.

[Ed3003]

ATTACK: Tomato ketchup, it's not just that I don't like it, I hate watching people spoil perfectly good food with it. Ketchup with a roast dinner?! Nooooooo!

DEFEND: Gherkins. So many people pick them out of things, I love 'em - especially in a pastrami sandwich.

THIS TIMES TEN. Ketchup abuse and gherkin discarding are giga-criminal!! Great choices.

[miser]

The title of this thread had me in stitches. Great title.

[Fusion]

Attack: Salad meals in fast food restaurants. Do us all a favour and step away from the counter Mr/Ms Guilt Tripper.

Defend: Eating with fork in right hand. What a pathetic social norm.

[dani_1991]

ATTACK:

Tuna steak. It's just weird. It doesn't taste like the stuff from a tin, or how I'd expect and it had the texture of meat. ODD STUFF

DEFEND:

Wafer Thin Ham. Ok, it's cheap and wafer thin, but on a cracker or in some fresh French stick with butter, it's damn good! And for the price- amazing.

[TotoMimo]

Attack: KFC TOWER BURGERS.
Hear me out. Zingers and Fillet burgers are some of my fave chicken burgers in existence, anywhere. Pure breast fillet, unique coating, usually decent salad, and the awesome twisty bun. Heaven. So why the addition of fake cheese, insipid no-brand ketchup and a greasy hash brown?! Seriously?!

Defend: Cheese Food Slices. Tower Burgers notwithstanding, of course. Don't approach them as "Cheese." like Quorn should be seen less as "Fake meat" and more "Unique protein", hold cheese slices with merits all their own, in nostalgic whitebread lunchbox sandwiches, biting off the superfluous perimiter crust to meet the corresponding cheese slice edging!!

[MelissaJayne]

ATTACK: Ice lollies. Brain freeze, lose their flavour after a few sucks, a shadow on actual ICE CREAM, melt in the sun and drip down you. More trouble than they're worth, stick to Ice Poles.

DEFEND: Celery. People shun it so often, I used to myself..but it's a very nice vegetable. Crunchy addition to a salad or you can use it to dip into things. Healthy an all!

I think it could also be fun if people also suggested two foods and the next person had to choose to defend one (and why) and attack the other (also explaining why).

Just an idea

[Fusion]

ATTACK:
Aunt Bessie's hash browns. LAME. To think I was expecting a similarity with mcdonalds hash browns

DEFEND:
Cream crackers with just butter. Delicious snack.
