"Brioche" is not French for "good", you mongoloid retards. Stop replacing every bun and loaf of bread on the shelves with brioche this-or-that. I don't want a cheeseburger or a hotdog on a brioche bun. I barely even want to eat brioche to begin with, outside of the context of, say, making French toast with it.
i know this is the UNPOPULAR opinion thread but Im shocked at all the posts hating on the most simple of ingredients/foods like tomatoes or onions. I don't know if it's a tastebuds thing or what, but honestly if you have good produce almost anything is pretty good on its own and everything has its pleasant, distinct flavor and texture even when eaten plain (that said herbs, spices and some dressing are usually always worth using from both a nutritional and taste point of view).
At least with tomatoes, it's because you can't easily get good tomatoes. Virtually any tomato you buy in any store in America is a flavorless pale pink abomination inside. They're varieties (often hybrids) that are chosen to grow quickly and easily, look nice, and slice well for sandwiches. Then they're picked far too soon.
If you grow your own, or have access to a good farmer's market, it's a different story. But I love a good tomato, and I virtually never buy them, precisely because the ones in the store aren't worth the money. Or even the effort to bring them home and cut them up.
I also don't understand why so many people hate on boiled food.
for example, provided it isn't overcooked, there's nothing gross about poached chicken. The chicken itself has a very nice (albeit not very intense) flavor and texture.... and the broth is useful for soups or other dishes. It's quick, simple, healthy and tastes great.
Because most people who boil food over-cook it. Boiling food is "cruise control cooking". (Or Kruise Kontrol Kooking, if you like...) So most people grow up eating food that's mushy, with faded colors, and tastes... boiled. It doesn't help that boiled food tends to be under-seasoned or outright unseasoned. My grandparents were like that, and my mom still tended towards it - boiled food was salted. If you wanted "spices", there was black pepper on the table... if you were one of
those people who needed it.
There's also the reputation, partly deserved, partly not... More deserved than not, though, at least in the US, of boiled food basically being the sort of thing you serve to school kids, hospital patients, prisoners and the elderly... That is, it's easy to fix, easy to eat/digest, and so completely devoid of character as to be at least nominally inoffensive to virtually everyone.
