Sugar ruins the taste of food, amirite?

When I was still drinking i didn't understand people who loved candy and dessert, but after I quit I realized I was getting all my sugar through booze. Nowadays I understand enjoying a sweet treat.

Agree to a degree. I think things get over sweetened a lot. I can't stand when sweetness stands out in a savory dish. However sweetness definitely enhances savory dishes when used properly.

Sugar is also used to cut acidity in dishes I guarantee when used correctly you wouldn't even know. I do agree most things are pumped with way too much though. Artificial sweeteners are a whole different beast.

I once tried spaghetti that someone had added sugar to the marinara sauce to supposedly cut the acidity. it was not good 😭😭

milk chocolate is objectively more delicious than dark chocolate, I'm convinced dark chocolate snobs just pretend to prefer it to feel superior i agree with the rest though, i hate sweet sauces

For most of my near 40 years of life I felt this way. Then, I ate a piece of milk chocolate that tasted like vomit. There wasn't anything wrong with it, my brain just decided that it tasted like vomit. Since then all milk chocolate has tasted like vomit. Even non-American milk chocolate without butyric acid (the vomit chemical). So I'm a dark chocolate gal now. It happened to me; it could happen to you.

i physically cringe when eating milk chocolate. i'm not trying to be a snob 😭 dark chocolate has that satisfying bitterness similar to black coffee. that's why i'm a fan of adding cacao powder to yogurt or oatmeal, it makes it so good

Not only do I actually love dark chocolate, I also actually love IPAs!

Dark chocolate usually still has sugar, just less than milk. What makes it dark is the lack of milk, not sugar.

girl, 55% chocolate is still considered dark chocolate. unsweetened is 100% cacao.

... Yes. But 99% chocolate bars can be unsweetened, too. The percentage is dependent on the amount of cocoa butter and cocoa solids, not whether it has sugar.

Congratulations! This is an unpopular opinion! Sweet tea is delicious. Unsweetened tea tastes like dirty tap water. Imo.

I like sweet tea and dislike unsweetened black tea but there are plenty of teas that taste good unsweetened. I like red bean teas and green teas unsweetened for example.

I guarantee a lot of the stuff you eat has sugar in it, and you don't even realize it.

I am 99% certain you have never eaten unsweetened chocolate. I have and it is incredibly bitter tasting, and not in a fun way. It doesn't taste like it should be food without at least some sugar added. Something tells me you have eaten a lot of foods that you don't think have sugar added but actually do.

Dark 100% unsweetened baking chocolate? By itself? As in, you didn't bake with it? That's psychopathic.
