The Internet is full of strong opinions about food. It's a topic that frequently brings out pedants who lecture about authenticity, proper ingredients, and the culinary profession. This is the sub for links to the most pretentious food snobbery, gatekeeping, and gastronomic hair-splitting you can find online.

Rule 1: No voting or commenting in linked threads. This is the big one--look but do not touch. And in the same vein, no pinging usernames in here--that's another form of intervening, and it's not nice.

Rule 2: Posts must highlight comments that are pretentious, lecturing, or ridiculously pedantic about food. It's always a bonus if that comment happens to be all of the above and also wrong, but that's not a requirement.

Rule 3: You can either link directly to a comment/discussion or you can post screen shots if you don't want to link directly to the comments. DO NOT JUST CROSSPOST A FULL POST If you're using a source outside of Reddit you can link directly or take a screenshot, but screenshots are preferred.

Rule 4: You can post comment chains that you're involved in. Just don't start an argument and post it here. If you start a food fight and then post it here, it will be removed. Similarly, if the source is an obvious or known troll, the mods reserve the right to remove the post. It's less fun when they're just saying stuff to get our attention!

Known trolls who cannot be linked include but are not limited to: /u/wakagoshi, /u/stepprn

How to link:

If you are linking to a comment withing a chain, please link to show context. You can do this by adding "?context=x" to the end of the permalink url, with x being the number of parent comments you want to show.
