People Are Joining This Thread Ranting About Overhyped Foods They Don’t Understand And Here Are 34 Of Them

Consistently mediocre, albeit overpriced. If I go there for a cup of tea, I know about what I'm going to get for four bucks. In most locations, most of the year, I can order white hot chocolate with peppermint and cinnamon, and get as much. It's a safe bet.

Overly spicy food is a no no. You cannot taste anything, and your bottomhole pays a dear price afterwards, all to appear macho!

WHOLEHEARTEDLY AGREE!!

This is just silly. There are types of caviar that aren't expensive, particularly because you're not meant to shovel it in with a fork. I absolutely love caviar, and it has nothing to do with showing off or being rich (I'm not).

I like all kinds of cheeses, I have tried vegan cheese out of curiosity. They have not got it yet. Close, but in a disgusting way.

I love them.... little bit of garlic & fresh squeezed lemon juice = yum!

i really only like pickled cucumbers tbh

I love macarons

It’s gross.

So good

"dried cod tenderized by soaking in lye, which is rinsed out before cooking", if you're wondering.

Another one I don't like the texture of. Love peas. Will even eat them straight from the pod.

If it's prepared and cooked properly, Kale is delicious. Especially Scottish black kale. My family loves it and it's full of nutrients like iron and vitamins.

Candy corn is good

Like a lot of shellfish, it has to be fresh from the ocean. If you have it in a tank at the supermarket where they just sit there it's not worth it. Back on PEI, Canada; 70% of houses are having fresh lobster on Mother's Day right off the boat. Can't beat it.

Or if you’re drunk, the bar closed, and there’s no other place open.

Heads up, Australia! Shots fired!

I like 5 Guys but their burgers aren't worth what they cost.

Maybe they just haven’t had the right type of Pop-Tarts…

Hot Flamin' Cheetos is my guilty pleasure. My butt does not thank me the next day, though

The majority of truffle oil isn't actually made with truffles. The main ingredient is a chemical designed in a laboratory to mimic the aroma of truffles (synthetic 2,4-dithiapentane).

I love beets and have since I was a kid.

When it was first introduced, it was a packet mix that you combined with mayonnaise and real buttermilk. It was delicious then. You can still buy the mix and that's the only way to prepare it IMHO.

Love oatmeal raisin cookies. As well as raisin bread.

I have no idea what this is? Is this some foreign food from foreignland where foreigners come from?

I subscribed to a meal delivery service called Freshly & their zucchini pasta is very, very good.

I think I'd actually like it if there was less sugar and more hazelnut.

Avocados are one of my most favorite things in the world. Guacamole is so good. Avocado with a little apple cider vinegar & olive oil... pinch of salt ..... Aaahhh, I'm making myself hungry!

Olives = love

I love Kimchi ._.

If you didn't grow up eating it, I find that it takes some finagling. I've made it a couple times, first time I didn't like it at all- my partner did though, so I made it again a while later, shuffled some things around, that time it was much better. Then I made it a third time, made some more slight changes, and that time, I think I got it perfect. I like a short and cold fermentation so the napa keeps a slight crunch in the middle, mild spice, and lots of sweet veg like carrots and daikon. It's much more... "European" I guess, than traditional Korean, which makes sense for me lol.

What is it?

Kimchi fried rice, yasss!!

Kimchi is awesome, and very healthy. I had it my first time a couple of years ago... now I buy it at the grocery store every so often.

Tradition Hungarian cuisine has a lot of sauerkraut so it's not THAT unfamiliar to me, but I can't eat kimchi. Can't be in the same room with it. It smells vile.

I love Kimchi.

If you have only tasted store bought kimchi, that may be the problem. A good home made kimchi is a wonder that evolves in taste for every time you open that jar.

the thing i like is when there is allot of ginger

I've had many a kimchi and there is a huge range of taste. I like it super sour. There are too many bland ones

I only like good quality radish kimchi! When I say good quality, you can tell whether they are or not.

I have had kimchi a couple of times and it seems a bit bland to me.

Yuck. Had a co-worker who would eat this all the time. The gas coming out of him was rancid.

I used to live above a Korean restaurant, and the smell of fermenting cabbage was ever present. It took me years to be able to eat kimchi again. I do still like it, but it's not my favorite Korean dish

Me thinks you've only had the mass produced stuff, but even the "real" stuff varies WIDELY. Everyone has their own spin on it, and the traditionally made stuff (which is what people tend to rave about) requires huge batches that are buried in clay or ceramic pots to ferment for MONTHS. All of it has that funky fermented taste, but some recopies are extremely spicy, while some are sweet, sour, or some combination of all three.

Lots of different kimchi recipes out there, so maybe you just haven't hit the right one.

Love it!

Good stuff!! Costco brand isn't bad...

This is a tough one because of the variety. I enjoy some and loathe others and have found not all kimchi fried rice is equal. It's a tough sell but I still give a try

It stinks and it's nasty!! I spent a year in South Korea...loved the country, the people and most of the food. Anything that smells THAT bad is not going in my mouth.

Shrimp is pretty cool if it's cooked well. Not overcooked and not drenched in seasoning. With most of these you just got to cook it lightly with minimal additions to keep the true taste.

I love seafood, but I'm careful where I source it. No dodgy diner seafood, please.

Sweet potato fries are so nice!

I absolutely adore have popcorn sweet and salty being my favourite, I just hate the kernels, because they always get stuck in my teeth. I would love to find the special popcorn without kernels
