“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!

Wanted to like it but no

Oh a drink where hipster peer pressure reigns supreme.

I drink it the Russian way...with a very small splash of vodka. I also love it without. A Russian friend of mine used to make it for me and bring me in a big jar every couple weeks or so. I could drink it every day.

Love it. I swear that the vinegar of kombucha really does help keep the flu away, especially in December and January

I like how gross it tastes. I can't drink it though because it can have a small amount of alcohol in it. (like some non-alcoholic beer)

I used to grow kombucha. The looks put me off

Nasty af and not good for you. Look it up.

Health benefits galore. But allergic reaction 109%

I tried some different brands from the grocery store & they were not very good, but my cousin's wife makes it at home and it was delicious! I have recently found a couple of brands from the grocery store that are fairly good, but nowhere near as good as her homemade brew

I love it! Favorite is the passion fruits tangerine or mint limeade by HealthAid. I just like sour things

I dropped a bottle at work, and it smelled so strongly of hydrogen peroxide, so I'm definitely never trying it.

I make my own and I love it. That “yeasty” taste is somewhat an aquired taste but I really like a cold one on a hot sunny afternoon and have made some delicious flavours.

Kombucha is more about the probiotics / intestinal benefits for which there is some science. I don't consider it particularly great tasting but I have had some that wasn't bad.

Omg that photo looks rancid. Nope

It’s an acquired taste

Yuck

It might well be healthy, but the aftertaste…ick.

Grossest.

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.

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

Omg!! Thank you!!! I HATE sweet relish. Mom used to make bread and butter pickles and I liked those but never loved them. I'm a dill pickle girl all the way!

No I love mint with anything. Might be controversial to some people. Some say “tastes like toothpaste”

Lobster is not usually worth the cost. But, I lived in San Diego in the late 80s. I would drive down to Puerto Nuevo in Baja California, Mexico (80km across the border). They had steak and lobster with a view of the ocean for less than $8. That was worth it.

OMG same and I'm an American! WTF is it with the ranch and ranch flavored everything? I thought I hated salad until I was in my 20s and discovered vinaigrette. I didn't hate salad. I hated ranch dressing!

it is amazing on food. I love it. Specially with foods with umami (mushrooms for example).

A long time I thought I hate it, but then I was in Italy and my Italian wasn't that good and accidently I ordered a pizza with anchovies. I am a very proud person and I did not want to admit my mistake so I sayed nothing and ate it. Since this time I love it more than it's good for me.

Depending on where you are buying them, most "store bought" macarons shouldn't be legally permitted to call themselves macarons!

I frigging love olives.

Um from Wisconsin here and cheese curds are awesome

It’s good with butter Parmesan and black pepper and if you make that feta tomato recipe in it is very good

Again too many varieties to say it's all bad!

I love kimchi

That would be some breakfast cereal. Introducing Sugared Jalapeño-O's! From the makers of Churro-O's.

More for me then! *drags plate over*

Thank you ! I don't like alcohol at all but I really hates beer. But everybody around me go nuts for it. There are people who do it in and over their food. Disgusting. Alcohol is from rotten things like fruit or corn. Why I am supposed to like something that tastes rotten. Cake with Cointreau or Rum, and meat with wine..I don't get it.
