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?

Avocado, olives, mushy peas

never tried sushi or bubble tea as the concepts don’t appeal.

don’t even know what matchi is

Anything truffle-infused.

Oh i love pasta!! How can you put that on the list!

for me its aperol. Just dont get it.

exotic mushrooms 😂

Risotto

Oysters - lumps of snot.

Haribos. Utter rubbish!

Yes @Cadeaukatze , Haribo are shite. How have they come to dominate the market? They all taste the same. So dull. Give me proper Jelly Babies any day.

In fact we have just been discussing over dinner how crap most sweets are now especially when they are made vegan. The texture is awful.

Anything with truffle 🤮

Matcha, panettone, Nutella, pomegranate seeds

Those giant overstuffed loaded cookies that you see at all the farmers market type events - they are so sickly!

also buttercream - i really really hate it 🤣

i love food and sweet stuff by the way, just not overly sickly sweet stuff

Agree @melissasummerfield , those cookies are absolutely ridiculous. I have a really sweet tooth but those don’t appeal at all- just absolute overkill. There is such a thing as too much sugar in one portion, even for those of us who love sugar!

Vegan fruit pastilles are just awful.

Lentil soup. Just made some, well last night. Boy is it boring..Never again

Roast dinner, sushi, fish and chips.

Pasta of any type
Sourdough
Hummus
Lentils
Avocado
Chinese food
Nuts
Sushi
Overnight oats
Bacon - just never has appealed to me

I like overnight oats . I really dislike porridge though , nothing could make it edible . I tried in a pot , in a microwave , with milk, with syrup . No. It was unredeemable which is a shame because it is good for you .
DD convinced me to try overnight oats and I did think "how is this going to be improved by being raw?"
But it's lovely . Soya milk and soya yoghurt . Even on its own but better with additions ,

Agree about brioche buns - they disintegrate. Why don't they use ciabatta?

You might like stovies: peel your potatoes and dice them very fine. Then stew them in a mixture of butter and oil until they are soft and melded together. This is quite without the blandness of mashed.

You take that back 🤣😂

Truffle fries…why ruin perfectly good chips with it 🤮

Pizza- nothing wrong with it but I don’t get people’s obsession at all - I honestly would rather have some good quality bruschetta

sourdough - I would rather just have good quality proper artisan bread or even a standard white sliced liaf for certain things.

Ah yes I missed this one - savoury porridge - and it’s overpriced stuff too

Ha ha - I could totally live on all those
