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/

Within the diverse palette of existence there is room for all things. Do not go to your deathbed with the belief that upholding these arbitrary laws have made you better, or happier, because they did not. Put pineapple on pizza, try it because you can, because we live in an age where we can carbonate fruit and make carrots taste like salmon, because we have cakes that look like shoes and microwaves and dragons, because miso and chocolate - things that would have never been in the same room together without our monumental progress as a species - go well together, because there is tomato flavoured hot chocolate and it's actually good. Taste of the cornucopia, pass your experiences along, but do not limit its capacity.
I won't read what you wrote. My mind is closed and my opinion is rock solid. I will die with a frieless shawarma on my chest and nobody will convince me otherwise.
You might have put a lot of effort in your comment, which I can appreciate. Unfortunately, you have met an immovable object.
I'm glad you are happy to limit your life experiences
Thank you for being happy for me. I appreciate you.
I'm with you about fries on pizza.
But fries with shawarma? Sign me up for that. And pile on some extra garlic, too
Garlic? Sure. Fries? No.
Fries on pizza, absolute mistake. I'm like almost there with you on fries in shwarma, but if you eat it right away and they're nice and crisp, but fluffy in the middle? With toum? Oh, baby, sign me up!
That's unpopular? Where?
Pittsburgh has entered the chat
I am willing to fight. Will they defend their clearly wrong opinion?
Not on pizza, but they are good on shawarma. Also, I've seen a trend where macaroni and cheese is treated as a condiment and put on burgers or deep fried balls of it. It doesn't work as a condiment to me.
Just enjoy a pure shawarma without. One with simple ingredients. You'll learn to appreciate that more isn't better.
I'll do what I damn well please, thank you very much.
Ok boss, here's a fiver 💵. Be happy and enjoy your life!
Or subs.
They're not a topping.
Ehh, I dunno. Back in high school and the years shortly after, we'd take trips down 287 to Rutgers to visit the Grease trucks for one of their famous fat sandwiches. The name tells the tale, the sandwiches are absurd, but great late night drunk food. Fat Darrel was my go-to, chicken fingers, mozz sticks and marinara, French fries, on a sub roll. They had a variety of sandwiches, and they'd even name one after you if you could eat three in an hour, which even back then, when I swam competitively, smoked a lot of weed, and was a human garbage disposal, eating three period was a tall order.
I will say, the French fries were probably the least important ingredient to most of their sandwiches, but it was a package deal, you get what you get.
That's what they're categorised as? Toppings? What else have they made into a topping? An entire meat patty? A bunch of pretzels? Nougat? Brownies? Jaffa cakes? Jello? Water? Tissue paper?
Or a burrito. Talking about the abomination that is the “California burrito” 🤮
Ive never seen either to make an opinion. Where do you get fries on pizza and shawarma?
Where I live, almost everywhere. I found only two places where they serve shawarma without fries and their recipes were HEAVEN!
Conversely, shawarma and garlic sauce have no place on fries.
Have y'all not had the pleasure of a piping hot boat of pizza fries straight out of the pizzaria's oven?
You call that pleasure? Disgusting 🤢 /s not actually mean towards you, you are entitled to your own opinions and experiences. Please keep doing whatever makes you happy. You deserve to be happy in this cruel world.
