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.

This one I disagree with the strongest. It is one of the finest things you can get, although it wasn't considered as such up until 19th century. Before that, it was the poor man's food and they used to serve it to prisoners.

Fresh lobster is the best. Sweet, with a gentle succulent flavor.

And throwing a living creature into boiling water is cruel and barbaric. Seeing the poor lobsters in the tanks at the store always gets to me.

For me there is a sweetness to the meat in a lobster that I can't stand

It's less tasty than crab legs. but it just looks fancier. .

Many people tend to overcook it, which is what makes it flavorless. A good friend of mine was the seafood buyer for a very well known restaurant chain in Seattle and would make me a lobster dinner about once a month (he got comped a ridiculous amount of amazing seafoods). It was better than anything I had ever gotten in a restaurant.

I love the taste, but I refuse to eat an animal that has been killed inhumanely. Being boiled alive is as inhuman as it gets.

I like it, but feel very guilty having to kill it.

It's gotta be fresh. I mean really fresh. Prepare it on the boat you caught it on.

😋

Freshly caught and prepared lobster is sweet and delicious, you don't need butter to hide the taste.

I thought I had heard that lobster was given to prisoners many, many years ago.

Never tried it, never will. It's a mental thing. Looks too much like a giant bug. Same with crab, or anything with an exoskeleton.

I like scampis better, samen texture more tast

Just No. I’m allergic to lobster, crab & prawns but even if I wasn’t lobster would never be on the menu

I love Lobster and Crayfish.We catch our own Yabbies(Australian fresh water crayfish) .Delicious.

Crab is better but I love lobster.

I forgot to say I live in New Hampshire so eat Maine lobster the best in the world. Also when buying get about a 1 1/2 pounder for tenderness.

I agree. Lobster is way overrated.

Pinchey would've loved this 😢

OOOOOOOoOoOOOooO I want crawfish now! Mini lobsters!

If you go to a place like red lobster that boils/freezes/then microwaves them, then I understand why you'd feel this way. But fresh, properly prepared lobster is heaven.

And now I got the urge for lobster! And crab. And crayfish. I love shellfish!

Lobster sounds gross and good to me as someone who has never had it. should I try it?

I always say like, 'I'm not eating a bug.' Like??? Pls. It's a bug.

No thanks. Vultures of the sea. Eating everything dead and rotten.🤢

Not to mention you have to boil them alive :(

Totally agree about lobster. Prawns,shrimp and langustines are lovely.

They are bugs. Bugs from the sea. You people eat bugs. Big bugs. Yucky.

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).
