If you serve a dish with 10 things in it, it's much more likely than more people will dislike it than if you serve a dish with 1 thing in it (thus why pepperoni pizza is popular as a party item, vs a Supreme pizza). I only mentioned it because it seems to be a poorly understood truth when it comes to vegetarians. (as in, people know not to get overly complex meat dishes, but somehow think the opposite when it comes to non-meat dishes)
- sithadmin 11y agoThanks for explaining your feelings on the matter. I think I understand your point of view now. I think you might just happen to be a more 'picky' eater than the friends and associates I cook for and with, excepting the vegans, perhaps.
- Drdrdrq 11y agoI agree with you. I think most people think that more ingredients the dish has, the better it must be - while it is usually the opposite. Maybe it gets down to how sensitive one's taste is?
- jacobolus 11y agoDifferent food cultures have different preferences. For instance, in some parts of China, the dishes are mainly 1–2 ingredients each, and a meal has many dishes. Other places prefer big stews with everything mixed together. Neither is inherently “better” than the other.
- jacobolus 11y agoAs an omnivore, I find those “throw all the veggies on” pizzas to be much more satisfying than ones with 1–2 toppings. (I also don’t much like pizzas with just cheese or pepperoni.) Maybe other people similarly prefer them? I often find the veggie pizzas running out first at big gatherings, with extra cheese and meat slices left over. YMMV, etc.
