To ask what food you think is overrated

[Svanam]

Pasta! Everyone seems to love it but I think it’s seriously overrated and pretty plain/ boring. Would never order it in a restaurant. What food does everyone love but you think is overrated?

Pistachio (why is it everywhere now!), avocado, mayonnaise and Biscoff (grainy and tastes like wet sand!).

Avocado tastes of nothing and either too ripe or too mushy.
Sourdough aka fizzy gone off milk tasting bread, no thanks.
Also hate parsnips, they taste like earwax.
Jelly/trifle is grim.

I was told that if you eat olives eight separate times, you'll grow to like them, so I tried it and it's actually true! Love them now.

Don't know if it works with other foods.

Avacados, watermelon.

Tofu - like dirty washing up sponge
Brioche buns for burgers - they're sweet, it's inappropriate
Mushrooms - I'm vegetarian, so the option is often mushroom something or other, bleurgh, disgusting smell, taste, texture, whole concept

This !
And posh crisps

Try it with tripe to give that theory the ultimate proof required to see if it works.😁

Sourdough! Rock hard and tasteless! Also avocado on anything, the only thing it's fit for is home made only, guacamole! Otherwise it's just soapy and again, tasteless!

I love Biscoff biscuits always have (must be my Belgian genes) with coffee but don’t understand why it’s now everywhere and in everything

Those biscoffe toblerone ones are awful.

The bake at home Greggs sausage rolls from Iceland are like Greggs sausage rolls used to be! The difference between those and the ones you bake yourself is remarkable! I'll only get those from Iceland now! I think they sit too long in the store. They aren't allowed to serve them hot and I think that's half the problem.

I'm no great lover of pasta either, it's tasteless.And I actually find most Italian food pretty boring too. They use few ingredients and most of them are cheap and common, like onions and garlic and tomatoes. I do object to paying £18 for basically 50p worth of pasta and a tin of passata.

Agree Sourdough makes my mouth really sore and it’s tasteless !

Chips- I don’t think they add anything to a meal.
Also pork- the smell alone is enough to turn me green.

Oh this is dangerous information. Thank you!

Hot drinks.

All of them. Tea, coffee, hot chocolate, soup...

I hate the nasty way they sloosh around inside me

All these shaving foam type puddings you are offered on holiday.
Avocado- so bland
bacon - yuk
rice pudding- no no no

Pasta
Most potato unless they are roast potatoes or chips
Ice cream
Egg custard
Set yoghurts
Eggs whites (I only eat the yolk)
Creme brulee
Creme Caramel

I've realised that I don't like "slippy" food!

Oysters, caviar, snails and frogs legs

Trifle. Absolutely foul. Also cooked fruit. Mushy and just yuck.

We must have been eating different carrot cake

I agree. And truffle.

To me Biscoff were always the biscuits you got free at the hairdressers or car sales forecourt. They weren’t very nice and I always left them.

Anything biscoff
sourdough bread
matcha flavoured food

Risotto, in fact most rice dishes other than sushi, rice pudding and egg fried rice.
Chilli unless subtle, but not when it overpowers everything else.
KFC and McDonalds.
Ice cream.
Matcha.
Katsu.
