Food has powerful effects on peopleโit elicits passion, both negative and positive. There are foods you love, foods you hate and foods that probably fall somewhere in between. But there are some foods that inspire more opinionated reactions and debates than others. Such polarizing foods tend to be the most pungent, stinky, bitter, slimy, or excessively ferment-y.
Love-it-or-hate-it dishes can divide households and spoil developing relationships. They can alienate those acclimating to a new culture and bring together those who feel marginalized because of their enjoyment of them.
The foods featured in this quiz were not scientifically calculated to be the most polarizing, but could possibly fall into the "kinda" controversial range. At the end of the day, no matter how much you may hate a certain food, taste is subjective, rather than objective. Decide whether you like or dislike these foods, and we'll tell you what your most desirable trait is.
