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

Ice cream. I mean it's all right, I'll eat it, but I don't get people who go all orgasmic over it.

How anyone could eat more than a scoop and not feel utterly stuffed is a mystery to me (and I'm a right greedy cow.)

Strangely, I can cope with runner beans to quite abnormal levels .

But I agree "Stewed apples are not pudding"

bibbitybobbity - so chocolate cake not something you'd enjoy, then?

Not really, no. I could eat it to be polite. I would never choose to eat it .

chocolate. The number of women who bang on about how they cannot live without chocolate. Tuff up, you pussies

Mussels - bleugh
Haloumi - bleugh
Olives - bleugh

Champagne is delicious, but only if you are drinking the right stuff. There is some dreadful dross out there, Moet for starters.
Whoever said Prosecco is better, it is better than low grade champagne and goes much better with certain foods.

Butternut done with chilli as mentioned, yum.

Cake, yum
Ice cream, yum - although I have to be in the right mood

gnochhi - only had it once but, by heavne, it was jaw-sticking, tooth-cloying yuksville

Chocolate cake is nearly always rubbish. I like chocolate (v. dark 70% plus stuff for preference) but most chocolate cake is just dry and doesn't really taste like chocolate. And the very gooey rich stuff is too rich.

Actually, I'm not a big fan of cake in general. I have always gone mad for traditional (70s?) style biscuit-base cheesecake. But I generally find cake a bit disappointing. Fruitcake is okay with cheese.

Don't like ice-cream much, either. Chocolate ice-cream is especially tedious.

Oh, and Halloumi - I am really pleased that other people don't like it. I have always wondered if I am odd for not liking it.

i heart halloumi. but i also like chewing polystyrene cups.

Monkfish. you might as well eat £20 notes, just the same flavour and lots cheaper.

chocolate is nice, just not that nice. would deffo rather have sex, and I'm not even that sexual.

Halloumi - might as well eat a school eraser
Feta - might as well eat knobcheese
Most cheese, apart from cottage and red leicester
Olives - look beautiful, taste like shite
Cockles, winkles and other coastal cack
Coconut cake
Flapjacks, oatcakes and other oaty cack
Aubergines - look pretty, taste vile
Most seafood, but not prawns
Any milk that isn't skimmed - tastes like jersey cream
Kidneys - wrong shape
Margerine - like butter only shitier. Too council
Garlic

I don't like halloumi because of the texture. I also don't like most processed cheeses, it tastes either plastic or too concentrated.

Chocolate can be overrated - cheap chocolate with that horrid fatty taste, gritty texture, too much sugar and not much else. Good quality chocolate can be amazing though.

Aniseed. In anything.

I love most other foods listed here.

Prawns - taste ok but really not worth the fuss
Sushi - again don't understand the fuss
Good quality chocolate - too bitter and overpowering - give me a nice bar of cadburys anyday

[discerning]

Sun dried tomatoes-boke!

BaDa - forgot about those little babies.

retch!

I do think homemade cake takes some beating - my own, of course. Shop bought cake is yuk.

On the pudding front, bleurgh to creme brulee, rice pudding, tapioca, suet pudding of any sort, anything with treacle/honey/syrup in the title and really generally anything that is actually pudding-y, like molten chocolate puddings/fondants etc. Hot pudding in general actually.

Hot custard really is the Devil's bogies.

Smoked salmon. Yuk! Over priced, over farmed, slimy nightmare!

polenta yellow goop
kidney beans red bullets
fancy pants fruit teas- I like a good strong builders tea myself
artichokes - the clue is in the name
marrow - big pointless things

I hate that horrid square plastic processed 'cheese' - so not cheese at all.

capers
anchovies
caviar

SALt, I cannot stand salt.

Apart from that I can eat pretty much anything.

Polyfilla (sorry, Houmus) and chickpeas any other way
Lentils
Pitta bread
Aubergine
Most vegetarian food unless it has a bit of bacon with it.

Sun dried tomatoes.

Oysters (like eating snot), truffles (fusty, like eating dry mould), caviar (makes me think of eating little salty fish eyes).

Also... 'real' chocolate (give me Galaxy any day) and pomegranites (too much work).

I've never had oysters.
when you eat them raw are they still alive? cos although I'll eat almost anything, not sure about live food.

They are still alive if you eat them raw.

I love seafood but they aren't worth the money,not raw anyway.

The last time I tried them I got food poisoning and was violently ill for days. I'd never eat them again.

Parmesan and the majority of goats cheeses. They taste like something I won't mention.

Mayonnaise. It's vile.

Raw or grilled tomatoes. I love tomato based sauces but I can't eat raw tomatoes. The flavour and texture is horrible.

Olives. I can't understand the appeal at all.
