Food that is overrated

[brimfull]

mussels

bleurgh!!

what's the point

just make the juice and forget the mussels

also butternut squash - slimy sweet mush imo

bananas.
they are never quite right.

crab. yeuuch.

branston pickle - yeurgh

Lobster. You pay £££ and can only eat a small part of it, tastes alot like prawns.

Cupcakes. What a load of over iced and over rated nonsense.

Oysters - there's something emperor's new clothes-ish about them - save yourself the effort and £££s by just drinking a glass of sea water with lemon and tabasco..

Very expensive balsamic vinegar.

Avocado. It's green lard.

olive oil

any product made from goats - yoghurt, cheese, milk... (vom)

Just went out for crab today - can't agree on that one. Love it and it's just coming into season.

Agree on cupcakes - gross especially the icing.

Champagne. I like a dry sparkle but prosecco at least as nice if not better - and much much cheaper.

Ice-cream. Like the idea but when it's on offer it never appeals.

Agree with cupcakes - although most these days are not real cupcakes anyway, just fairy cakes with swirly icing. Real cupcakes have flat icing and are quite plain.

Also agree a bit with lobster - but love avocado and mussels!

Oh, and agree with balsamic vinegar too Deborah (are you GetOrfMoiLand btw?)

Oh yes crab definitely. And scallops. Actually nearly all seafood.

Fois Gras (sp?). Disgusting stuff.

You're all wrong apart from cupcakes and foie gras.

ponce

Caviar completely defeats me. Its like eating ground up anchovy. Why?

Sushi

Polenta

Any kind of cake

Caviar

Oysters

Butternut squash
sweet potato
celeriac

I love mussels, scallops, crab though...

Pears. They're never actually worth all the waiting for perfect ripeness stuff.

And lobsters - nice, but not nice enough to warrant the effort involved.

SoMuch - yes, was getOrfMoiland, namechanged after some MNers suggested I looked like Clariss Dickson Wright on the basis of my rural name

I love foie gras.

Fennel. What is that all about?
Halloumi cheese. It is polystyrene.

Sushi is my dream meal. I crave it more than anything else. Cakes all overrated and rum-based cocktails.

Hear hear to oysters

Also fatty cheap cuts of meat, most flatbreads and single estate chocolate. wtf?

CHAMPAGNE !! i know its not food but whats all the fuss about ?? Champagne is nothing special at all ..its just white wine with fizz in it and gives you one hell of a hangover and headache !!
