One overrated thing, in your view?

Hotel Chocolat chocolate. I've just had the salted caramel puddles and they were nothing to write home about (and I love chocolate).
To be fair, I have plebeian chocolate tastes Blush and it could just be that their milk chocolate has a higher cocoa content than most, and doesn't taste creamy enough.
I still don't enjoy their chocolate though.

Over to you.

Ten pin bowling. Going to some smelly, dark basement covered in flashing lights in order to wear ugly, uncomfortable shoes, drink flat beer, eat overpriced nachos, listen to awful music and play a really boring, never-ending game that requires you to put your fingers in some sweaty holes where someone else's fingers have just been.

I agree. Also crazy golf. It's all so shit.

Paris. I'm a francophile and adore France but Paris is incredibly overrated as a city. The problems the Liverpool fans had at the Champions League final sadly unsurprising.

Take away pizza. Over rated and over priced.

TheWayTheLightFalls · 19/06/2022 20:18

YY to Range Rovers and Ottolenghi recipes. One has a zillion unnecessary parts that induce breakdown when you're five minutes into your journey... and the other is a much maligned car manufacturer.
