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/

I prefer Kraft parmesan cheese over DOP parmigiano reggiano (lemmy.world)

I've been thinking about this recently since I've been making a lot of pasta and I actually prefer the taste of Kraft parmesan cheese on a lot of things over the "real" parmigiano reggiano especially when it's used as a topping eg. ceasar salad and pasta. I find that parmigiano reggiano has way too strong of a flavor and it clashes too much when eaten with other things.

I don't know what this Kraft thingamabob tastes like, but I recently tried this soy-based parmesan-like topping and well, it certainly tastes different from parmigiano reggiano and it doesn't taste perfect, but I don't either think that parmigiano reggiano tastes perfect, so I'm kind of undecided, taste-wise.

Parmigiano reggiano just has this pungent rennet taste, which means you can only use it in homeopathic doses...

Half of my plate of pasta is parm or other hard Italian cheese so to each of their own I guess

Yeah, that is the intended use case for many strongly flavored cheeses: a little goes a long way. There’s still dieting info that recommends feta or extra sharp cheddar or Gorgonzola, for exactly this reason. Even though it tends to have higher fat content, you can get the flavor with a small amount and eat lower fat overall
