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 most foods and will make an effort to try something at least once. However, I cannot get over the smell of truffle oil. I don't know what it is, but it triggers my gag reflex. It's horrible because I feel physically ill if someone around me is eating Truffle fries.

Real truffle oil and truffle in general is a thing of beauty that needs respect. Its incredible, so many layers of flavour and so versatile 😍

I used it in a pasta dish once & totally ruined it. Plus, it's ridiculously overpriced. I had a burger with actual truffle slices on it & couldn't finish it, it was so gross.

I always have it at hand. Truffle makes egg dishes, risotto etc. taste lovely and artificially flavored is affordable and tastes just as good. So not over hyped!

I agree didn't care for truffle oil. It ruined the meal

Never had I seen one yet

I've tried it in several restaurant dishes and it ruins the taste, imo. I think it's overused.

Long long time the aroma made me literally puke, by now trufles are one of the best. I dont know how this happened.

It's yummy...! I had some once and I'd have a bottle in the go as a staple if I could afford it.

I love colavita but I do not have their truffle oil as I don't like truffle (unless it's the chocolate kind), I do have their chili, garlic and basil oil. So good.

Never understood the hoopla over truffles, then realized I can't taste truffle.

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 ._.

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
