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?

Sushi, just no
Roast
Most cheeses

Smoked salmon…I can’t bear the texture. And if I’m having something smoked for breakfast I want it to be bacon!

Champagne..fizzy vinegar..🤮

Pizza, it's kids food

I don't think people understand that any bread can be sourdough. 😅 It just uses wild yeast instead of packaged yeast. You can make the softest, fluffiest sourdough or chewy, crusty sourdough, depending on what bread recipe you use...

Yorkshire puddings. The least interesting part of a roast dinner.

McDonalds
Greggs
Any pizza
Sweet Potato
Prosecco
Ice cream
Chocolate
Biscuits
Cake
Chicken wings
Cream
Papaya
Brioche
’pulled’ anything meat
shared plates
Carvery roasts
’minted’ meats
breakfast cereal
pancakes
mince pies
hash browns
ketchup
local to me, Chinese take aways
milkshake

I’ll be back, clearly.

YES!!

Forgot this from me extensive but clearly not exhausted list!

They are a total waste of bland space!

I'm going to say mince pies.

I love these threads because they just go to show how different we all are. Champagne for me is the drink of the GODS and, Yorkshire Puddings are life!
I wonder why we all have such very different preferences?…..

Dubai anything. Overpriced food the colour of Shrek, what are people thinking?

Oysters. For obvious reasons.

Curry. Horrible, disgusting, smelly food. Took ages of scrubbing to get the smell and grease out of my kitchen, previous owners were Indian. I cannot fathom why anyone likes curry and all I ever hear when i say I don't like it is 'oh, it's not that hot'. I don't care if it's hot, i don't like the taste.

Steak

Never understood the fuss

You sound like my 15 year old son who has the blandest palate imaginable but would happily eat pasta every day.

Truffle: disgusting

Ice cream: I just don’t get it

DH and I make our own bread ( our machine does it) but we still love a bought rye sourdough. We buy them on yellow sticker half price at 6 p.m. and shove ‘em in the freezer. Had one today for sardines on toast. Old school see, none of your smashed avocado here ( I have made that before though )

Your poor, poor pasta.

Can anyone overrate sprouts?

They are vile little green balls of nastiness.

It's not about the texture, well not for me anyway, it tastes awful and...sour. Give me a bog standard crusty white or granary loaf and I'm happy...or tiger bread

Matcha…. Tastes like grass 🤭
avocado… I understand it as guacamole but nowadays people are putting it with everything.
i hate Biscoff… just a generalised weird taste.
salted caramel… why?

100%

Nasty, smelly, tastes like old socks.

Sprouts are massively underrated.

Roast dinners. One of the most boring meals ever yet everyone bangs on about them as if it's some amazing sacred magical food. I'll eat one, they're inoffensive, but it's just so dull I get bored halfway through.

Bacon. Don't get it. Especially cold bacon in a BLT (which is an awful combo IMO) or a chicken and bacon sandwich. Bacon added to a nice burger always ruins it too.

Poached eggs. Give me scrambled any day.

All this "hot honey" stuff that's everywhere now. Hot honey on chicken wings etc.

😮

I had a Greggs sausage roll for the first time this week. Not impressed 🤢
