Think it's possible to know someone's taste in movies by what they eat? Entertainment and food are so closely intertwined that it might just work. Think about it: we spend so much money on concession stand treats at the movies, and a lot of us eat dinner with the TV playing in the same room. Watching a movie without popcorn feels wrong. It's like our hands need to be doing something during that time, whether it's chowing down on popcorn, nachos, or candy. Marvel movies always make a big splash at the theater, but are they really worth the type and the expensive tickets? A person's movie preference is so personal and subjective. Surely, we've all had an argument or two about the quality of a Marvel movie. Is Hulk the greatest Avenger? Or is it Iron Man? What about Captain America? Come on, we all have a favorite one. After picking or passing on the following foods, we're going to take our best shot at guessing everyone's least favorite Marvel flick, ranging from Ant-Man, Doctor Strange, Black Panther, and so much more. We're going to test the theory that a person's taste in food says a lot about the movie they watch. Let's go!
Hawaiian pizza
There's a big debate about whether fruits belong on pizza. Some say pineapple ruins the whole pie, others persist that it's the perfect combination of sweet and savoury. This controversy has torn friendships apart (okay, that's a little extreme) but to some degree it's true. If we're hosting a pizza party, there's going to be strong opinions about Hawaiian.
Chocolate chip pancakes
Dessert for breakfast? Yes, it's a real thing. Chocolate chip pancakes may not be the most nutritious way to way up, but boy can they be delicious. Whether we order at IHOP or make them at home ourselves, chocolate chip pancakes are the ultimate comfort food in the early morning.
Eggs benedict
Speaking of breakfast foods, eggs benedict is one of the most popular dishes at brunch places. "Eggs Benny" is a traditional American delicacy made up of two halves of an English muffin, a poached egg, bacon or ham (or both!), and hollandaise sauce. The dish was popularized in New York City.
Eggplant lasagna
Foodies don't have to be vegetarian to enjoy eggplant lasagne. In fact, some nutritionists say swapping out meat for vegetables is the healthier alternative. But let's be honest, with all that cheese, we're not here for health -- we're here for flavor! Let's settle this debate once and for all: is eggplant lasagna better than beef?
Pita chips with hummus
With so many hummus recipes to choose from, this snacking plate offers something to everyone! The flavors range from bacon, avocado, chipotle, olive, roasted garlic, peanut butter, pesto, white bean, and so much more. Seriously, shopping for hummus and corresponding chips is an art form. The wrong combo can be devastating.
BLT sandwich
With so many condiments, breads, cheeses, and meats, we could probably eat a sandwich every day for lunch and never get bored. It would be a different flavor profile each time. Out of all the sandwich combinations, the BLT is a classic. It stands for bacon, lettuce, and tomato. Dig in!
99 cent ramen
Every college student knows there are different levels of ramen. In this instance, we're talking about the dry, packaged ramen that typically sells at around 99 cents. It's the most wallet-friendly option for freshmen who boil water in the dorm microwave and pour seasoning on top. Additional ingredients are up to the eater.
Breakfast burrito
A breakfast burrito typically comes with scrambled eggs, chorizo, sausage, bacon, peppers, and cheese. Of course, eaters can always add guacamole, sour cream, and hot sauce on the side. But doesn't the quality of a burrito largely depend on how it's wrapped? There's nothing worse than eating one that's falling apart.
Tomato soup
Imagine this: it's a cold winter day with temperatures below freezing. The only thing to eat at a time like this is soup to warm ourselves up a little bit. There may be nothing more relaxing than curling up on the couch, under some blankets, with a bowl of soup. But is tomato the top choice?
Seafood paella
One bite out of this dish and diners are immediately transported to Spain. Seafood paella should be every seafood lover's dream as it has a large assortment of shellfish, including lobster and shrimp as well as clams and mussels. Maybe life really is better under the sea! Does paella sound good right about now?
Buttered popcorn
What's a good Netflix and Chill day without popcorn? Buttered popcorn, no less. There's something so oddly satisfying about hearing those little pops in the microwave. Popcorn and movies go together like peanut butter and jelly. One isn't complete without the other, right? Maybe there's another concession stand treat that's better, like nachos.
Poutine
French fries are good and all, but they're so much better under a mountain of gravy and melted cheese. Poutine was born in Canada and has since risen in popularity in the United States. It hasn't crossed international borders as a mainstream dish just yet. Some say poutine is best enjoyed at 3 a.m. after hitting the bar.
Vegemite
Depending on where we travel, vegemite (in Australia) and marmite (in the United Kingdom) are interchangeable for a kind of spread. This yeast extract has a "love it or hate it" reaction. Toast topped with vegemite and avocado is a staple breakfast Down Under. It's so common that it's served in business lounges at the airport.
French toast
Some love waking up to the smell of coffee. Others prefer the smell of bacon. And then there are those who crave maple syrup. Eating french toast in the morning is like receiving a warm and cozy hug. This toast, egg, and maple syrup combination is a classic go-to in brunch restaurants.
Chicken parmesan
Here's a fun fact: chicken parmesan is one of the most popular restaurant orders in Australia. And really, who could blame them? Melted parmesan cheese and mozzarella cheese on top of a chicken cutlet can be so delicious and easy to make at home. Add that to a pepper and garlic tomato sauce and it's done!
Fish and chips
Anything that's been around since the 1860s has to be worth paying attention to. Fish and chips was the staple of Victorian British working class back in the day. This dish can be found in restaurants all over the world, but its roots belong in the United Kingdom. Typically, the fish of choice is cod.
Sushi
We realize that sushi is a pretty general term considering the number of rolls on a Japanese restaurant's menu. The taste for sushi boils down to three things: seaweed, rice, and raw fish. Some people just can't get over the taste of uncooked fish, not to mention the unique texture.
Escargots
Don't be fooled by the fancy name, escargot is the French word for snail. How did these slimy creatures end up on so many plates? Well, for starters, snails have high nutritional value. They're high in protein and low in fat content -- unless chefs drown them in a pool of butter, which is sometimes the case.
Glazed donut
We all have guilty pleasures, and eating a box of donuts is one of them. There must be some psychological trick behind donuts because we can never just have one. There's blueberry, creme brulee, chocolate, and of course, the OG glazed donut. So simple yet so drool-worthy. It's all about the icing!
Yellow curry
Thanks, Thailand, for blessing us with curry. Yellow curry is one of three major kinds of Thai curry that are commonly found on the west side. The standard recipe includes chicken, potatoes, and peppers simmered in coconut milk, but tofu substitutions are common as well. Feel free to make it extra spicy!
Red velvet cake
Can we ever go wrong with cake? IT'S CAKE. There's a reason why birthdays and weddings call for this dessert in particular. If cutting the cake can be part of the ceremony, then so can eating it. Red velvet cake is best recognized for its vibrant red sponge coloring and white icing.
Jalapeños
According to certain scientific studies, it is possible to become addicted to spicy food over time. Many of us have built up our tolerance to spice over the years to the point where jalapeños are no big deal. On the other hand, there are some who think these peppers are way too overpowering.
Bagel with cream cheese
Need something more filling than toast? Bagels are the answer! Apparently, one bagel is equivalent to four pieces of toast, making it the ideal breakfast for anyone who's super hungry. Matching the right bagel and cream cheese is similar to pairing hummus and pita chips. The options are endless! Go nuts!
Mayonnaise
Whether it's used as a base or topping, mayonnaise is a popular condiment around the world. Compared to ketchup and mustard, it's the most polarizing as well. Some people love it, others would rather eat anything else. And then there's the calorie amount. If that's a concern, there's always Light Mayo.
Peanut butter
Imagine a world without peanut butter. The results would be catastrophic. There'd be no peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, and, worst of all, no Reese's. Not even the Pieces. Peanut butter should be diverse enough to fit into any palette, not to mention there's a choice between chunky and creamy.
Chicken and waffles
There seems to be some confusion over where chicken and waffles originated. Was it Los Angeles or the deep South? While these two regions fight over ownership, we're just here for the good taste. Chicken and waffles is the perfect savory-meets-sweet combination. It's essentially fried chicken paired with maple syrup and a plain waffle.
Cheetos
Eating Cheetos is a blessing and a curse. Sure, they taste good, but what about all that orange dust on our fingers? It's impossible to touch anything after finishing a bag without creating a neon mess. What started as one bag of chips has snowballed into Lime Cheetos, Puffs, Flamin' Hot, and Baked White Cheddar Puffs.
Cinnamon oatmeal
Ever wondered what hot cereal tastes like? Well, the answer is oatmeal. Mix it with water, milk, coconut milk, almond milk -- whatever sounds good. A few minutes in the microwave is all it takes to make this breakfast dish at home. Oatmeal packets come in many flavors, ranging from cinnamon to apples to brown sugar.
Scrambled eggs
Eggs are the starting point for so many great dishes! Just because we can't see them or taste them, doesn't mean they're not there. Cakes, waffles, crepes, battered foods, egg nog, and custards all contain eggs. It's hard to imagine breakfast without them, and there are so many ways to prepare them.
Smoked salmon
Smoked is one of the many ways to cook and prepare salmon. Due to its moderately high price, smoked salmon is considered a delicacy in many households. But for some, the best way to enjoy smoked salmon is on a humble bagel in the morning with a side of cream cheese.
Caviar
Caviar is definitely an acquired taste. For those who don't know, it's essentially fish eggs packaged in a glass container with a small spoon. Caviar is priced fairly high compared to other fish products and can be seen sprinkled on top of crostini breads, crackers, and sushi. The texture is unlike anything else on the market.
Gyoza
Gyoza, also known as Japanese dumplings, is best recognized for its juicy inside and golden bronze wrapping. In Japan, it's a popular weeknight meal as well as a great appetizer. It's pan-friend and usually stuffed with meat, soup, or vegetables. Feel free to dip it in soy sauce and hot sauce!
Asparagus
Some of us have a love/hate relationship with certain vegetables. The veggies we once disliked as a kid are suddenly our new favorites as an adult. Asparagus is a great side dish for meats and starches, like steak and mashed potatoes. This spring vegetable is packed with vitamins and minerals.
Swedish meatballs
As its name suggests, Swedish meatballs did, in fact, come from Sweden. The recipe calls for a mix of pork and beef in the meatball, similar to American meatballs. The biggest difference in this recipe is the sauce. It typically contains nutmeg, onion, garlic powder, pepper, salt, and egg. Some say it has a sweet aftertaste.
Ice cream sundae
The sundae is an old school ice cream dessert found in many diners across America. It typically consists of one or more scoops of ice cream (any flavor) topped with sauce or syrup. For those who want extra flavor, add sprinkles, whipped cream, nuts, or cherries on top. The point of a sundae is to indulge.
