pavakka (or bitter gourd/melon) is super divisive between Indians. I love it but it's definitely an acquired taste. You can fry it, make a curry out of it, or sautee it into a vegetable thoran.
I love it. Especially with jalapenos. You guys just don't know what you are missing out on. It is a good mix of salty and sweet (with some spiciness thrown in).
I personally like Hawaiian pizza but that's just me.
I don't get the appeal of pizza and ranch dressing though but I think that's because I don't like ranch.
growing up I was very confused when my (white) classmates would pour soy sauce over their white rice. I never did that in my (East Asian) household.

Karela is garbage food. My condolences to your poor taste buds.pavakka (or bitter gourd/melon) is super divisive between Indians. I love it but it's definitely an acquired taste. You can fry it, make a curry out of it, or sautee it into a vegetable thoran.
Chitlins.
You keep that fucking slave food away from me, grandma or I'm calling Harriet Tubman on you.

This is a weird one. I don't like pineapple on my pizza, but it's no worse than any of the many other toppings I don't want on a pizza.
But bring up Hawaiian style in any group of people, and it won't be long before physical violence is threatened.
lol this got me. I'll eat them if someone close to me went through the trouble of preparing it but let the past die!*
*Not really, food and culture preservation is important.
I don't personally mind it, but I feel like it's the quintessential "divisive" food.
Black liquorice. I grew up eating it all the time at my grandparents' house so I like it, but I know a lot of people think it's shit.
There are weird people out there that like black licorice. Really, it's true.
Natto is great, I've liked it when I've had it.

Agreed. In Peru, they make a soup called Mondongo Italiano that is cow tripe (stomach lining), and almost exclusively use the second stomach, which has a chewy texture with a honeycomb pattern. Absolutely disgusting. No intestines, stomach linings, and so on. Thank you very much.
Normally there is a divide.
1) People who tasted horrible frozen durian shipped across continents.
2) People who tried it flesh in SE asia.
Still divisive.
Someone from Ohio brought this to a chili cook off at work and I legit thought it was a joke at first.Cincinnati-style chili. Delicious.
Definitely divisive even when you're eating it fresh.
The shipped ones are actually probably less divisive in that no one likes them.
I can't...
I will literally eat someone's nasty-ass baked chicken, a plate of potato salad with fruit in it, or even mac and cheese with peas mixed in before I eat chitlins. I'm sorry, even at its best it's the worst.
We have these in Oklahoma, we call them calf/lamb fries and they're not bad. I wouldn't say they're disgusting tasting but most everyone that has tried them has said they either taste okay or taste like nothing.
Raisins, for some reason. I really don't know why, I like them, but they're pretty unremarkable all in all. But some people really detest them.
Cincinnati-style chili. Delicious.
You. I like you. Grew up on Gold Star Chili but I'll eat any Cincinnati style chili.
Add me to this list. If I forget to ask a place to keep it out, I'll end up regretting it.
There's absolutely nothing wrong with pineapple on a pizza.
"But it's a fruit!"
So are peppers.
So are tomatoes.
It's no different from any other topping, you either like it or you don't, don't buy into the meme.
