We all have moral codes that we say we're passionate about, but for some reason it's the smallest things that get people the most riled up. Call your coffee "an expresso" around the wrong person and they will cut you out of their life for being toxic. Mention on a date that you liked Jaws 2 and what was a perfectly fine night will end in seconds. If there's one thing that we can be certain about human nature, it's that people will defend their pettiest opinions to their last breath.

It should be edible using only your hands and mouth,without cutlery, and without making too much mess. You should also be able to sample every layer of ingredient in one bite, without dislocating your jaw

Edit - I seem to be blessed with the copious cart returns H-E-B provides (to add to the list why they are the best grocery store!) Also, I do mean to the cart return, not all the way to the store. The true annoyance is the people that exert the effort to hop the curb and put it in the grass when the return is 2 spaces away.

Hummus contains (among other things) significant amounts of tahini, chickpeas, and olive oil. If it doesn't contain these things, it is not hummus. I repeat, not hummus. No, Ashley and Brayden from the juice bar, you don't get to tell me that the white-bean-and-kale mush on that $13 veggie wrap is goddamn hummus. Edit: I stand corrected, some authentic hummus versions don't have the oil.

    Font - Mythnam - 1 day ago S Nobody should be telling other people how to eat their food. Ketchup on hot dogs, pineapple on pizzas, well-done steaks, mustard on pumpkin pie, I don't give a f -k. Leave people alone and let them eat what they like. The pie one is real, btw. It's fine, but I don't understand the appeal. I tried it, it just tasted like mustard and then tasted like pumpkin pie. They didn't blend or complement each other or anything. Like, that's the point?
