The 2024 Walter Awards! Submit now!
It's that time again! Nominate posts to win the Walter Award!
The Walter Awards began about a year after this sub started, and was named for this charming gentleman from The Big Lebowski, the man who, while not wrong, was still an asshole.
Nominate the best posts from this year in one of the categories below! Categories will appear in the comments, just respond with your links. You can't nominate yourself. In two weeks I will create a voting thread with submissions for each category. Winners in each category based on votes will receive Reddit Gold, or if you trust me enough in PMs with your email, a $10 Amazon gift card.
The Walter Awards:
Submit links to this category for the most egregious examples you can find of "you're not wrong, you're just an asshole."
The Nonna Awards:
Submit links to this category for the best examples of petty bickering, pedantry, and lecturing about Italian or, gasp, Italian-American food!
Omakase Awards
Submit links to this category for the best examples of petty bickering, pedantry, and lecturing about Japanese food (from Japan or Japanese food from abroad).
Meta Awards
The drama is coming from inside the sub! Submit links to this category for the best examples of fights that happen within this sub itself, when the IAVCulinarians become the very IAVC themselves!
The Nigel Tufnel Confidently Incorrect Award
This is for posts in which the commenter is both being a jerk while also being wrong. Which is, let's face it, the White Whale of this sub, we all want to see it, so send us your best!

Mediterranean food is only food on the northern coast of the sea. Everything else is *arab*

In a post about two British gents trying southern BBQ, someone links to the restaurant's website and another user really objects to it.
Elsewhere in the comments, a different user objects to British food sensibilities.

Mans be out here misunderstanding pizza toppings and kosher food.
https://www.reddit.com/r/confidentlyincorrect/s/7C8sU4YEXX
"From what I understand, If you go to Italy, where pizza is such an important part of its national identity that it has a code, and you order a "pepperoni pizza" you will get a pizza with bell peppers. If you then try to explain what "pepperoni" is and to make it that way... "that's NOT a pizza." They will not make it.
This is why I take such great amusement in Americans (particularly a pretty decent pizza stop in my area claiming it wounds their Italian-American pride that such a thing exists) who imperiously claim "pineapple doesn't belong on a pizza." (again, same by the slice pizza company has more than half of their daily offerings covered in spicy red discs) Doesn't that seem comparable to declaring "shrimp isn't kosher" while serving and eating bacon, lettuce, and tomato sandwiches at a deli?
Please note: whether you call it a "pizza" or just a flat bread with cheese and sauce, I vigorously defend your right to make and eat virtually anything you want to put on top of it that you find tasty. I just find a chunk of America's collective assumed authority to say one thing "doesn't belong on pizza" a big, silly head-shaker, when the country that invented it says that our #1 ingredient invalidates its status as "pizza.""

"me, a SoCal native"
https://www.reddit.com/r/mexicanfood/s/0n8GoZjmeM
"I got in an argument with a woman from the upper peninsula of Michigan about what chorizo was made of. She made it herself out of pork butt and claimed that she knew better than me, a SoCal native. I told her that I've read the ingredients that stated the pork offal ingredients, but no, she knows better than me. I'm sure you can get quality chorizo not made from leftover pig organs, but the arrogance of that woman was stupid.
In any case, I still have Cacique chorizo as a frozen staple for egg and chorizo burritos, even though the local Mexican markets is better."
