Easy. First off:

Pop-tarts are calzones.

More fights:

Greek salad is fruit salad

Paris sucks

Chick-fil-A isn't actually good

Pop-tarts are calzones.

This is more accurate than ravioli but its still the wrong kind of dough. Pop-tarts are empanadas.

Greek salad is fruit salad

True.

Paris sucks

Never been but its not particularly high up on the list of places I want to visit.

Chick-fil-A isn’t actually good

It's OK at best. Certainly not worth the line (the one I live near is always packed) or the bigotry they fund.

The chik fil a line moves fast, but isn't worth it.

They do have the best spicy chicken sandwich, but everything else is on par with other shitty fast food.

Naw man, go find a Popeye’s and thank me later.

[–] Derpenheim@lemmy.zip 7 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Dude Paris is fucking awful. Trash and pickpockets literally everywhere

[–] bizzle@lemmy.world 5 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Here's a hot take for you... every major city is terrible.

[–] Derpenheim@lemmy.zip 3 points 3 weeks ago

You're not wrong, Ive been to many and they all are not pleasant in their own way. But for me, Paris had genuinely no redeeming factors. Every major attraction to go was tainted with a seedy underbelly that was active no matter the time of day or where you were. It was insane. I ended up chaperoning a small group of five and had to practically wrap my arms around them to fend off purse snatchers. Its something that sounds like hyperbole, and if you told me the same thing, I wouldn't believe you had I not experienced it.

[–] Onomatopoeia@lemmy.cafe 4 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Man, I don't think I could be bothered to fight about any of those.

I'd laugh at the pop tarts one (that's a good one), the rest, meh.

I mean Paris is cool and all, but what a shit show with the insane traffic (like any large city). The food is fantastic though.

[–] hansolo@lemmy.today 2 points 3 weeks ago

Best food I had in Paris was Belgian. Best bar was Irish. Art..sure, OK.

France in general I really like. Loooove the south. Paris is overrated AF and riding high on reputation from 1870-1943.

Paris sucks

Anyone who's been to Paris will probably agree, especially Parisians

Greek salad is a fruit salad

Tbh a proper one is just a deconstructed sandwich

[–] hansolo@lemmy.today 2 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

To be fair, I love a Greek salad, and make myself one once a week when none else is looking.

But...a sandwich? How so?

[–] 9point6@lemmy.world 2 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

A quick Google has reminded me I'm specifically thinking of a Cretan greek salad: https://hungryhappens.net/dakos-salata-cretan-salad/

[–] hansolo@lemmy.today 1 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

OK, yeah, I'm doing northern mainland Greek salad: tomatoes, cukes, cheese, olives. And onions.

[–] 9point6@lemmy.world 1 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Legitimately recommend giving the Cretan version a go, it's the perfection of the dish IMO

Though sadly unless you're actually having it somewhere in the Mediterranean, the tomatoes just don't hit the same

[–] hansolo@lemmy.today 2 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

Oh for sure. It looks like a variation on the Tuscan panzanella salad. I think I might like the Creatan version better.

And yeah, garden full of tomatoes right now, and a gallon of fancy olive oil. I'm good to go.

[–] psoul@lemmy.world 3 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

As a Parisian: Paris is fucking amazing but Parisians suck a lot and well.

[–] hansolo@lemmy.today 1 points 3 weeks ago

Could just be me or just bad luck last time I was there. I really liked Bordeaux, but I also love a port town. Strasbourg, Pézenas, enjoyed them both.

[–] spankmonkey@lemmy.world 2 points 3 weeks ago

I have no idea about Paris due to not having any experience.

The rest are accurate.

[–] peoplebeproblems@midwest.social 2 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

So ok, Chick-fil-A sandwich is pretty good if you don't get the pickle and mayo.

But everything else is eh, and the sauces are downright disgusting

[–] hansolo@lemmy.today 3 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

It's top to bottom mediocre. I will die on this hill.

Popeye's, Zaxby's, hell even Church's are better.

[–] VubDapple@lemmy.world 3 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)
[–] Pat_Riot@lemmy.today 2 points 3 weeks ago

Raising Cane's is the most flavorless, damp, sad excuse for chicken fingers there is. Their sauce is just Zax sauce if you left the flavor out. The service sucks worse than the food.

[–] hansolo@lemmy.today 1 points 3 weeks ago

Ahhhh! I can't believe I forgot them! 100% top 2.

[–] peoplebeproblems@midwest.social 2 points 3 weeks ago

Man the closest Popeyes is 90 minutes away

[–] EmptySlime@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Doesn't a calzone require the fold in the dough where a ravioli is two "sheets" of cough pinched together? Or am I misremembering sandwich classifications?

[–] someguy3@lemmy.world 2 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

The cube rule only cares about starch location.

This guy wants OP's challenge.

[–] robocall@lemmy.world 2 points 3 weeks ago

I like chick fil a's macaroni but their chicken is too soft for me.
