Welcome to the Unpopular Opinion community!


How voting works:

Vote the opposite of the norm.


If you agree that the opinion is unpopular give it an arrow up. If it's something that's widely accepted, give it an arrow down.



Guidelines:

Tag your post, if possible (not required)


  • If your post is a "General" unpopular opinion, start the subject with [GENERAL].
  • If it is a Lemmy-specific unpopular opinion, start it with [LEMMY].


Rules:

1. NO POLITICS


Politics is everywhere. Let's make this about [general] and [lemmy] - specific topics, and keep politics out of it.


2. Be civil.


Disagreements happen, but that doesn’t provide the right to personally attack others. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Please also refrain from gatekeeping others' opinions.


3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.


Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.


4. Shitposts and memes are allowed but...


Only until they prove to be a problem. They can and will be removed at moderator discretion.


5. No trolling.


This shouldn't need an explanation. If your post or comment is made just to get a rise with no real value, it will be removed. You do this too often, you will get a vacation to touch grass, away from this community for 1 or more days. Repeat offenses will result in a perma-ban.



Instance-wide rules always apply. https://legal.lemmy.world/tos/

Something about the texture paired with the added salt makes them a superior topping. However I’ll admit it’s the only scenario in which canned mushrooms are better than fresh.

Respectfully, what the fuck is wrong with you?

Should I downvote this comment, as I agree with you?

Would you say my opinion is… unpopular?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Gotta second this. The only exception I would maybe throw in there is sauteed fresh mushrooms. But that brings the texture more in line with canned. I don't care for fresh onions either, while we're on the topic.

Sauteed would absolutely be the best choice, but it's not really a fair comparison. Raw mushrooms = little flavour. Canned mushrooms = some flavour, better texture. Mushrooms freshly sauteed in tasty fats = superior flavour, considerable effort.

As the owner of a pizza place for several years (we serve both fresh and canned) I can easily say Canned is the choice of most people.

I also agree. Raw mushrooms have tons of water and they don't cook on pizza oven temperature and times and have the texture of paper. Ugh

This is a good argument. Fresh mushrooms sound great in theory, but they add too much liquid. Canned is better; fresh sauteed mushrooms even better.

Fresh =/= canned > none

Both are good. Different flavors, different textures.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

I'd say it depends on what kind of shrooms are involved. The standard ones pizza joints use? Yeah, canned is better.

But if you're shaking things up a bit, not only is canned rarely an option, but it reduces flavor when it is an option.

Everything sucks when you don't know how cook it. Even the raw mushroom need some preparation. Place on top and pretend that heating is enough to make tasty don't works so good.
