Food that is overrated

I’ll start - those square,overpriced rock-hard thin tasteless crackers that are everywhere- honestly pointless. Give me a basic cream cracker/Ritz/melt in mouth aldi garlic thingy - anything not rock hard with my cheese please!😀

soufflé

Pain in the arse to make and brings out all the worst attributes of an egg.

Greenshake · 13/12/2022 20:57

Chicken wings. All that effort for barely anything.

MrsTerryPratchett · 13/12/2022 20:59

Oysters. Snotty, chewy seawater.

Bleaugh. I cannot believe anyone likes them. Including DH who swears he does. Lying toad.

And yes, I've had them in all the ways everyone suggests, straight off the boat etc. all terrible.

Truffles. The disgusting kind pigs find that tastes of dirt. I don’t want it on my risotto. I don’t want it on anything. Make it fuck off.

Celeriac. Filth.

Fennel. An affront to good taste.

Cheese with fruit in. It’s not posh. It’s not special. It’s wrong. If I want fruit with my cheeses I’ll have a grape or a slice of apple thank you very much.

Marmite in stuff. Marmite is amazing. Don’t pollute it by sticking it in other stuff.

I have to disagree with you on dry dusty crackers which I love.

AnneLovesGilbert · 13/12/2022 21:03

Another one, sorry. Anything done 3, 4 or 5 ways. Please prepare or cook it one way properly.

And a final one, I promise. Anything deconstructed. If I’m paying for someone to make me something I wouldn’t do myself I would like it constructed.

MrsTerryPratchett · 13/12/2022 21:04

Celeriac. Filth.

Remoulade is divine.

I agree with you about truffles.

BCBird · 13/12/2022 21:05

Scallops.
Partial to a bit of filthy celeriac🤣nice raw grated on a salad. Got one in thr fridhmgevbut don't think k can be bothered to wrestle with it to peel it. 😫

VioletLemon · 13/12/2022 21:10

Pork belly..... nope
Any meat 'pulled'.... Why??
Quinoa
Non cheese.... cheese.....

AnneLovesGilbert · 13/12/2022 21:11

Remoulade is divine.

Is it raw? I’m open minded. But it looks like a brain and people tend to shove it into soups and ruin them. And I like soup.

DogInATent · 13/12/2022 21:14

Fake 'specials' on the board that never change.

Menus with so many options that you know that none are fresh and they're all prepped off-site and reheated sous vide (looking at you, Cote).

Other than that, the only one I really agree with that's been mentioned is fruit in cheese. Love an oyster, scallop, or a drizzle of truffle oil over pasta.

Shredded, very very briefly blanched, mayo/mustard.

Have it in a French supermarket. You will rethink celeriac. In a soup it's just a sad potato.

Gonna ruffle a few feathers with this one...

Tea is just sh!t water.

thenewaveragebear1983 · 13/12/2022 21:18

Pretty much any takeaway, especially if not eaten immediately

VioletLemon · 13/12/2022 21:20

You're giving me nightmares, I've drunk 9 cups today, so far!!!!

Alright, I’ll try it. Love mustard and mayo!

Dartmoorcheffy · 13/12/2022 21:26

Roast celeriac is lovely

Marmite is vile.

Furrybutts · 13/12/2022 21:28

Avocado.
Just slimy, tasteless pulp

Would you like a nice slice of wensleydale with cranberries and caramel pomegranate with that correct opinion?

washes mouth out

NotRightNowNo · 13/12/2022 21:29

I love fruity cheese! And tea. I agree about the crackers though.

Sweeping statement - meat. Meat is over rated. I dont get it . Any of it. It can all fuck off.

what

whirlyhead · 13/12/2022 21:31

Sparkling water. Tastes like water that died centuries ago.

olives - I’d rather eat a chair arm.

onions. Especially at the moment as my partner has stuffed his socks with them and gone to sleep, and the bedroom reeks.

motleymop · 13/12/2022 21:33

Tea is not a food! I agree it is unpleasant though. I don't understand it at al

Angrymum22 · 13/12/2022 21:36

Artichokes.
I love stem ginger in cheese but not fruit. But I do come from the north where we eat cheese with Christmas cake.
I committed the ultimate sun last week, after much resistance I served Yorkshire puddings with roast chicken. I may never be able to show my face in Yorkshire again.
They were just wrong.
