Absolutely. There are very real differences between, say, canned veggies vs fresh ones, or lean meat vs fatty meat, or basmati rice vs jasmine rice, etc., and those differences could be significant depending on the dish. Being weird about pork belly vs pork cheek, though, sounds like someone responding from their lizard brain.
As an aside, a while back I told my wife I was going to make cranberry sauce for a holiday meal we were hosting for some friends. She had a knee jerk negative reaction, saying that her family always used the canned sauce. I said it was no problem, I could do a canned sauce for her as well as the homemade. She told me she doesn't eat cranberry sauce 🤷♂️
People are weird about food sometimes, and that's honestly fine. You have to be weird about something, right?
Oh totally, I've gotten into extremely silly arguments with people about food that have gotten heated. Don't argue with a passionate italian about pineapples on american-style pizza actually being pretty good :scared:

Actual Italian-Italian pizza was garbage until they started copying Italian-American pizza.
