“I Refuse To Believe A Single Soul Wants To Eat It”: 35 People Share Overhyped Foods

Never been a fan. I'm shortbread all the way!

I don't mind it, especially on Christmas cake with marzipan. Trick is not to have it too thick and eat it evenly with the sponge

So gross

Zoidberg: "What is this? Goose liver? Fish Eggs? I ask for rich guy stuff and you give me this garbage?"

LOVE 'EM. But I completely understand why people don't.

Admittedly, I love it.

For me, it just signifies the season. I don't eat or drink everything pumpkin spice but it is definitely a favorite and has been since I was little. Pumpkin bread was the first quick bread recipe I ever learned!

These were my childhood. Every birthday party, class event.....

I love it personally! Especially the ones with chia!

Love them. But they aren’t something you could just eat a bunch like other mushrooms, which I also love. Even if you don’t necessarily like it it’s hard to not agree that the taste is unique, and powerful. I worked for a high end catering company in NYC and we would get cases of them in and I would shave this slices for various dishes. If it’s an acquired taste I certainly acquired it then. Mushrooms varieties other than portobello/cremini/button are not commonly found in restaurants in the US. Chanterelle, morel, woodsear, enoki, lion mane, lobster, porcini, oh so many delicious and unique flavors. But, truffles outshine them all in its unique firm texture, aroma and flavor.

"Nibbles of Wet Meat" sounds like a helluva Metal band name

What? I love bubble tea. Not overrated

Another instance where there are many different kinds, and the taste varies significantly. Also depends what it is paired with as most of us don't just dig into a bowl of caviar like it was cereal.

Spinach tastes much better

For an adult palate, it's way, way too sweet. Luckily there are good alternatives, like Bonne Maman.

It's a chocolate cake with red food coloring. I don't like it, either.

But come on, it's still cake. It's not like it's BAD cake - cake is cake.

My friend is a baker, and he makes a mean red velvet cake, yum 🤤

Yeah and there's no d*cks in Spotted D*ck either, gonna whinge about that too? 🙄

Red velvet cake is now simply chocolate cake with food coloring. Real red velvet requires a chemical reaction between ingredients

Always a no to food coloring. You really taste the red 40 in the red velvet.

Nope, this is not real red velvet cake, this is just white cake with red food coloring, no wonder you don’t like it. Real red velvet with cream cheese frosting is to die for

Yeah I don't get it. I do not like red velvet

50/50 - have had horrors, have had some that made me want to faceplant into the baking tray and eat until I was ill.

I love red velvet.

Red Velvet cake is sinfully good, it's not just "red cake", it has a unique flavor.

Red velvet cake also has cream cheese frosting.

I don't care about the cake but if the icing is done right I can eat it all day. Well until I get a stomach ache. Lol

Not enough cocoa to taste of chocolate. But very moist when me well. So I marble it with chocolate cake to get more chocolate flavor. But the cream cheese frosting, if made well, is to die for

hate it. all i taste is red dye.

Blechhhh! So gross!

With lots and lots of artificial red food coloring. So much that you can't even tell it was originally chocolate cake. Yuk.

LOVE and I'll die on this cream cheese frosting covered hill.

Amazing if prepared correctly

It's not about the cake--It's all about the frosting. Unfortunately, it's become acceptable to put cream cheese frosting on red velvet cake and act like it's authentic...it's not even mentioned. My great aunties are rolling over. The correct frosting for red velvet cake is made from Crisco, butter, vanilla, a tiny amount of milk and superfine sugar whipped to a fluffy frenzy. If you haven't had it this way, try it. If you still don't like it, more for me.

It’s gross. It doesn’t taste like chocolate. It’s like they ruined the flavor of what would’ve been perfectly good cake.

Tastes like Red #40 dye. Awful.

The red dye does not digest, it comes out red.

I don't like red velvet cake either.

Probably had a plain white cake with red food coloring...

Most people just make a red-coloured sponge and that is not red velvet cake. It has chocolate and buttermilk in. Anything else is just fake.

blah...

This is blasphemy. You are forgiven.

It's the cream cheese icing that really makes it great. Without the cream cheese icing, it's just chocolate cake.

Can't eat cakes with cheese in. Just wrong.

Yeah Idk it is kinda tastless in my opinion

I almost had to throw up when I tried matcha latte. Why people drink this vomit inducing drink is beyond me.

Black licorice: You either love it or hate it. I've never yet met a person who could go either way. Myself, I'm on the 'Love it' side.

It's just a frozen patty of mechanically shredded pork pressed into a riblike shape. The frozen food companies have been making them for fifty years. The only thing missing is the sauce. Just buy some Swansons and use your own BBQ sauce and bread.

Pale Ales are the laziest form of brewing (having worked in the industry) and, to me, each and every one of them tastes like carbonated dishwater.

I refuse to knowingly give bigots my money!

So it's suppose to be not just red cake with the taste of a coloring.

Coriander does taste like soap to me, but then so does rocket. Yuk.

It is my favorite filler type thing. I add it in when making meatloaf/meatballs to lighten the texture. etc

Has to be done right. Try with fried onions on top
