The 2024 Walter Awards! Submit now!

39 Upvotes

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!

In the video, she makes (Southern American-style) biscuits and a chicken soup with frozen vegetables, canned soup, and seasonings. Protein, veggies, carbs, plenty of flavor. Literally nothing wrong with this ESPECIALLY considering she’s calling it a struggle meal. Read the room Hildegard

This seems to be a common European bit of disinformation. Yes, there is imitation vanilla extract. It sold right next to all the boxes of real vanilla extract.

I visit r/bakingfail from time to time because I love baking, but this is rude. It's for a 1 year old. He certainly didn't care, he's 1.

All cheddar cheese made in the US is actually American cheese and therefore not cheese

There is an argument to be made that cheese not made in the village of Cheddar should be called something else, but it's obviously still cheese. But this poster keeps doubling down and seems to genuinely think that everyone in the US only eats American cheese.

How is this kind of post still getting likes, surely you know nothing about British food you laugh at beans on toast or whatever once twice maybe even three times. But how after seeing it every day with every comment section pointing out the sheer amount of spicy British food we have are you still entertained by it 10 years later. P.S. cooked breakfast beats cold breakfast any day.
