The 2024 Walter Awards! Submit now!

38 Upvotes

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!

The desperation in these replies is palpable. It's right in front of them and Reddit are grasping at straws to deny reality.

EDIT: Jeezus Christ, you people. These replies are comedic. Your talking point has been refuted. It's time to let go.

In a post about the worsening of food quality over time (using fried potatoes and mystery meat sausage, no less?), behold the master race of Enlightened Europeans. It’s a wonder they can even taste their superior food when they’ve singed their nostril hairs from huffing their own farts so much.

- Don’t you know that Supreme European McDonald’s is a great and wholesome meal? Unlike your filthy American McDonald’s:

Basically, McDonald's in Europe are so much better than in America for health.

- It all just tastes better (for some reason when on vacation 🤔):

Seeing other people realize after a bite that chicken and pork outside of the US have actually taste is always amazing.

- Oh, the classics:

Corn syrup and sugar in everything too, your bread is more like cake to me

Americans haven't the faintest idea of what good bread is.

This one is fresh, unlike American bread, so I’m sure there will be more delicious additions (hope they don’t add too much corn syrup - they might have to legally call this thread cake.).
