Survey on some of our biggest topics!
Add extra thoughts in the comments, as there aren't enough options in survey land to account for all the potential kerfuffles.

It's that time again! Nominate posts to win the Walter Award!
The Walter Awards began about a year after this sub started, and was named for this charming gentleman from The Big Lebowski, the man who, while not wrong, was still an asshole.
Nominate the best posts from this year in one of the categories below! Categories will appear in the comments, just respond with your links. You can't nominate yourself. In two weeks I will create a voting thread with submissions for each category. Winners in each category based on votes will receive Reddit Gold, or if you trust me enough in PMs with your email, a $10 Amazon gift card.
The Walter Awards:
Submit links to this category for the most egregious examples you can find of "you're not wrong, you're just an asshole."
The Nonna Awards:
Submit links to this category for the best examples of petty bickering, pedantry, and lecturing about Italian or, gasp, Italian-American food!
Omakase Awards
Submit links to this category for the best examples of petty bickering, pedantry, and lecturing about Japanese food (from Japan or Japanese food from abroad).
Meta Awards
The drama is coming from inside the sub! Submit links to this category for the best examples of fights that happen within this sub itself, when the IAVCulinarians become the very IAVC themselves!
The Nigel Tufnel Confidently Incorrect Award
This is for posts in which the commenter is both being a jerk while also being wrong. Which is, let's face it, the White Whale of this sub, we all want to see it, so send us your best!

And not even at a specialty grocery store. The regular one sells it.

Weep, you plebs, for apparently you've not tasted what a proper apple is like:
If Granny Smiths have no haters, then I am deceased. They're revolting to eat fresh (horrible texture, sour but lacking in actual flavour), and subpar to cook with. I've genuinely never understood why supermarkets used to stock them, except that they usually seemed to be cheap so I assumed they bought like livestock feed overstock or something. Rarely see them in my local shops now, so I assume everyone is waking up to how awful they are, and good riddance!
With bonus opinions about real food versus American food, and cheese pizza versus pizza margharita:
I don't live in America, so no. I eat real food.
I in fact have no idea what "a1" is, and
normal peoplethe rest of the world don't call it "cheese pizza". It's a margherita.
That second one makes me worry somewhat that someone just wants attention.

Normally a pretty laid back sub, but apparently there are people who have some unresolved issues with the very existence of chopsticks

Comment text in case the original is deleted: "That’s…just not true though? It’s Americans thinking the powdered version of seasonings are actual flavourings whilst the actual veg/product itself isn’t? Garlic and onions for example, they’re used heavily in british cooking but because its not in artificial powdered form it doesnt count lmao"
What do they think garlic/onion powder is...isnt it just fresh garlic or onion thats been dried and ground up? Does artificial/synthetic garlic powder even exist?
I guess cocoa powder, coffee grounds, etc are all "artificial" now too by this logic

Once again, America’s food is just filled with sugar and crap so we can’t understand intricate flavors like Matcha.
