Don't actually start shit please.
So my take
meat take
is that boneless chicken wings are in all ways superior to normal chicken wings.
vegetarian take
Firm 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.
CW: non vegan post
My take is that as long as you enjoy your food I don't care how you eat it. Put pineapple on your pizza or make a banana and mayo sandwich or whatever weird shit you want if you like it eat it I don't really care. Folks get real bent outta shape with the "how dare you enjoy food the way you want to" takes it's stupid. Eat it how you wanna eat it
Boo with the snuggle sessions
The more I live the more I learn that for most people all we get sometimes are those little moments of joy and I go out of my way to avoid taking those moments away
I blocked a user i usually like interacting because they got really weirdly belligerent about me saying using doritos for nachos isn't all that weird because it's literally a chili lime flavored tortilla chip anyway and then they sicced the mods on me for misgendering because I was just like "ok, guy" 
FYI y'all for the record everyone my "ok, guy" was not meant to be an attack on their they them pronouns and i feel like that shoulda been obvious
"ok, guy" is like calling everyone dude. Don't. Unless they're a dude or a guy or tell you it's okay. Otherwise it's misgendering even if you don't mean it as such. They correctly sicced the mods on you and it doesn't seem like you've learned from it so hopefully this time you do. If someone doesn't want to be referred to by a gender don't refer to them as similarly gendered words either it's actually extremely easy and unambiguous.
Although you are correct about Doritos for nachos I do that all the time
"authentic" does not necessarily mean good
i don't really think the word authentic means any thing any more. it's been abused by marketing so much it's a red flag when i see it
I like hawaiian pizza
Mild take, go back to reddit

😠
Now here's a spicy take from hexbear's own Civility!
i have been observing voluntary dietary restrictions already and am seriously tempted to make the leap to vegetarian, because what i'm learning right now about avoiding certain foods is that it's hard, it's annoying, but it's doable, and I am capable of cooking my own food to some robust degree. It's time.
Vegan is another step beyond, i might get there someday, but i'm interested in moving that way. The inertia of a lifetime of eating meat, my relative lack of means, and the stress of life makes big changes difficult right now, but I accept the moral arguments, I want to get there.
This deserves a 
Outdoor cat burgers have a significantly better mouthfeel thanks to their free range diet.
indoor cat with that veal-like muscle and fat development
You might think a wagyu steak has marbling but you've never tried fat cat who never moves around steak j/s
im not even a vegan and i'm grossed out by my own comment
Bone in meat is fucking dog shit and all the people who think leaving the bone in makes the flavor magically better are wrong, all you're doing is making people have to work eating around shit. I don't care what nerd shit you wanna say to me about collagen or bone marrow or whatever, the difference in flavor is imperceptible and the difference in eating EXPERIENCE is massive. Fillets all day.
You will hate it in China. Order some duck or chicken rice, they will cook it whole, then cut the entire thing up, bones en all, with a cleaver, and dump it straight into the bowl. Shards of shattered bone everywhere
oh god
al dente pasta sucks, give that shit another 2 minutes
Firm tofu is hands down better than all other forms of tofu
this is too nonsensical to agree or disagree with. like saying blue is hands down better than 16
firm and silken tofu are for completely different things in completely different contexts. all you've said with this post is that you don't know very much about how to use tofu
I'd normally say telling a Korean they don't know shit about tofu is a wild take, but we're here in a thread asking for wild takes.
I eat white sugar and a few other edge cases but I still call myself vegan because it's easier than saying "I eat mostly plant based"
I had to Google what's non-vegan about white sugar. ANIMAL BONE CHAR? JFC carnists what is wrong with you people
If you know what a cows life is like and continue to support that exploitation I will distrust you. I do not understand how you can look yourself in the mirror after purchasing a carton of milk again and frankly I don't care.
I said hot takes not normie takes 
Firm tofu makes for the best analog for chicken, in my opinion. Some firm tofu, roughly sliced, soaked in Soy Vay Teriyaki, fried, and served over rice? Absolutely delicious, good texture, easy to make.
I don't know if it's my area, but I've also noticed firm tofu is generally on the cheaper side, which is doubly nice when you're trying to make healthy meals on a budget.
Fuckin hate it. Food is awful. I'd much rather photosynthesize. (may have an ED? for me it's not super severe though, I just really don't enjoy eating)
Burgers, bean or otherwise, should be simple
The second you begin to go beyond the scope of "patty with condiment on a bun", you're just putting hats on hats
And that's just silly
Veganism good.
Well, it will get me that reaction among normies.
this isn't me but my partner: breading/airfrying fish takes too long and so "microwaved fish sticks are just as good in a taco as breaded fish"
the feeling of being full after being really hungry is better than any flavour of food. fill me with slop so my tummy stops yelling at me
We need to calm down on all the sticky stuff we're putting on food nowadays. Not every entree or sandwich needs to have hot honey or balsamic reduction. Especially as someone with a beard, if there's a sauce that's some sort of syrup, glaze, or reduction it's getting trapped in there and I am going to be miserable until I can wash it out. I realize that this is a problem entirely of my own making, but it's still annoying.
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.
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.
Also rice is better than bread hands down.
makes for a very messy sandwich though

// I've enjoyed sardines for years. I prefer sardines in olive oil. Sardines have been a cheap meal. I laughed when I saw the headlines but it feels like the trend might drive the price up.
Your geographic distance from Oaxaca/Chiapas is directly proportional to how bad your Mexican food tastes.
