Most of the time when people say they have an unpopular opinion, it turns out it’s actually pretty popular.
Do you have some that’s really unpopular and most likely will get you downvoted?

Pasta can be desserts.
I make a delicious Mac and chocolate, but can get very few people to try it :(
This is the most cursed thing I’ve read but I think I’d be willing to try it. People associate pasta and noodles with flavors despite it just being a form factor.
That sounds terrifying, but I’d try it just for the novelty, just like Nutella pizza (oh god, the horror)
What’s the recipe, or what does it look like? I’m curious to send it to my gf, who is kind of a pasta snob.

I boil the pasta in sugared cacao water, this might be the most important step as it turns the pasta brown. Yellow pasta looks unappetizing if you skip this step.
Then you make a ganache using your favourite chocolate. For me it’s toblerone, I find the little nougat bits add a cool texture. I melt it in a bowl over the boiling pasta and mix with cream, it is very efficient! Everything should be ready to mix at the same time!
You can cover and bake with marshmallows until they’re brown. But don’t use the broiler or they’ll catch fire.
Unironically going to try this and will report back after I’ve had a chance
Did you try it? I’m very curious about how this worked out.
Not yet, although not for lack of curiosity. I was busy at the time and then forgot about this.
Although, in case you’re curious, tomato cake is a thing I’ve made and it’s definitely different. I didn’t like it at first but I also ended up eating the whole thing over a couple days.
Thanks for reminding me of this curiosity though!
Tomato… cake?
Yeah. The icing is made with powdered sugar and tomato juice.
Honestly, it’s wild to me that I probably ate something that most people will go their whole lives without knowing it’s existence.
It’s actually a thing in some parts of the world. In Germany they have something called “milchnudeln” which is pasta made with milk and sweetened.
I would try it! Made me think of Taiwanese xiao long bao and buns that can be made as entrees (meats and veggies) or as desserts (taro, chocolate, red bean, etc).
If rice can be then so can pasta. I remember Nigella had a chocolate pasta dish, because you can buy desert pasta.
I have tried something like that before and absolutely hated it. But for your sake, I hope it catches on.
I fucking love pasta with nesquick or just plain sugar. We also have a dish in our country that’s basically a pasta desert - pasta + ground walnuts and sugar ❤️
I’d try it
