For underrated I am going for Eggs, you can do so much with them and I love a poached egg on toast.

Secondly is Corned Beef, I have sod all food in the house and just opened a tin, I am now munching a Corned Beef sandwich with mature cheese, gherkins and chutney... I forgot how good it tastes!

For overrated im picking Salmon, I want to like it, i keep seeing recipes that look nice but however much I eat it I really can't bring myself to like it.

Underrated (and pretty much completely unloved) - pigs trotters

Overrated - pork fillet/tenderloin: I want crackling and fat with my pork!

Ooh, yes, ormirian-broad beans sprinkled with salt-mmm-underrated. Same for avocado.

Underrated: spinach. You can use it in so many recipes, even if it isn't on the ingredients list, and it's so good for you!

Overrated: all the expensive, only-available-at-select-deli-for-millionaires-in-London ingredients that crop up endlessly in 'celebrity' cookbooks. Ridiculous and poncy and there is always a cheaper and more readily available alternative.

overrated: brown bread

underrated: liver - my favourite super food.
