I'm not disagreeing with you.

But... but... but! I cooked it!!

As another adult, being offended that people don't like the one dish you're serving when inviting several people over (with no doubt, various likes and dislikes) and then treating them like they are terrible is a sign of a bad host/hostess.

I sincerely appreciate the shrug of the shoulders and dropping it. I've always liked your comments.

Or just leave said person out if your theme/meals that night were seafood.

If I'm truly ignorant, I just sheepishly point to the menu and say "I am unfamiliar with the pronunciation so rather than mess it up, I'll just show you..." That has always been met with a smile and some version of 'I understand'.

Sometimes I'm an idiot and either misrepresent the point or go off on a tangent.

As a teen, the only 'food' I messed with was my co-workers. A girl that I got along great with would always play pranks on me and vice-versa. My best prank to her was taking her soda cup and taking a lemon juice packet, filling it with hot sauce, pepper, garlic, etc. and then putting her straw into it and then putting…

Downrange PopEye's is pretty damn disgusting. Nothing like walking into the fast food joints that have managed their way onto military bases in Iraq, Afghanistan, Kuwait, etc. (Burger King, Taco Bell, Pizza Hut, PopEyes & Subway) and seeing creepy chicken that has flies buzzing around it.

Fair criticism. I was rude yesterday. I apologize but don't expect to be forgiven.

I'm generally quite reasonable.

I'm from the west coast, I had no idea what collard greens were until I went into the military and had them served in a dining facility.

I do think it's hilarious that you school me on when and where I can bring up points you realize are legitimate-all the while telling me I'm being oppressive and misunderstanding. High five bro!

The main story was about an elderly person writing in to say he wasn't happy with the wardrobe.

There's a word called inference. Sometimes it's employed in conjunction with an expressed attitude that while isn't explicit in insults, clearly means to insult another party.

Oooh so sexy!

I'm going to continue to be unreasonable and rude because We Are Right... or as the Simpsons would say ' WAR' ;)

Look internet commentor... I'm not advocating for hate/violence and all that other shit just to be spread around because someone is old. I just think we are doing an injustice and often make older folks target of jokes and knock down their intelligence.

If current trends continue, by the time you are almost 100 years old fashion and expression will change so many times and so often that you will probably feel a bit lost too. But no, you know better than everyone who has ever lived ;).
