Can u name a food that is overrated 😋 🍞🧀🍖



How about French fries.. 🍟 Yes I know they are delicious. And people eat them every freaking
day. But I like tator tots and potatoe wedges even more. So it's a bit odd how people overrate fries if anything. Now tell.me. What food.or foods do you think is overrated.
Best answer wins. 😋🎂

i think meat burger patties are overrated. good veggie burgers on the other hand, underrated lol. something about the texture of a meat burger i find disgusting. and especially when its undercooked too. gross. undercooked beef in general i'd say. overrated. plus the negative environmental impact of raising beef...

@Penny I like some veggie burger products.
@Penny Definately the best plant based burgers come from meat packing plants.

I believe isn't the food itself, it's how you cook it.

Here in Italy SUSHI is very popular, everyone wants to go to eat sushi, there are sushi restaurants everywhere.
Except it tastes like SHIT. Real sushi is yummy, and if you want to have it here, you should pay a lot. Not just your regular 30-40euros you pay in average sushi restaurant, or even less, if you do the all-you-can-eat formula.
I had great sushi abroad, and I imagine Japanese Shushi in Japan would taste mostly very good.

It's the same with hamburger and fries, if you eat them at mc donalds or something they're like 🤮, if you eat fries in a fries-place in Brusselless they are WOW.

Like, as Italian, I assure that if you eat Italian food in UK or USA etc, it's often really disgusting. There are nice Italian restaurants abroad too.

Etcetera.

@Sharky86 Sushi needs to be freshly prepared with the best ingredients. There can be no short cuts and that is why it does not lend itself well to international fast food culture.
@Sharky86 casu marzu is overrated
Sharky86 · 36-40, M
@YukikoAmagi 🤮 totally. Also the rotten shark (OMG my ex cousin!) they eat in Iceland.

The so-called "fries" and would-be burgers in allegedly bread rolls, from the up-price / down-value "international" fast-food chains.

Coffee served with a cod-Italian name and at high prices, that turns out to be mainly coffee-flavoured milk froth. It's illegal in UK pubs to use the head on a pint of beer to short-change the customer. The head (merely froth and the subject of a traditional but strange North/South divide) has to be above the statutory pint or half-pint line etched on the glass; so why is legal to short-change the customer buying coffee in opaque cups with no level marks?

'
I would say the over-rating is by presentation or quality, more often than the type of food. Try this, from a pub that had under its previous ownership served simple but very good food in large portions. It had been closed for longer than expected, then I gave it a few weeks to settle in before sampling its new owners' fare:

A limited, poncy, "gastro-pub" menu, but surely you can't go wrong with steak-and-ale pie, chips and vegetables. Oh yes you can, and note that latter plural.

The pie: good quality but tiny, in a ceramic pot the size and shape of a mug wiv no 'andle.

The chips (the pub might have called them "Fries", in snobbery): small, not very good; a small portion going cold rapidly by being served in a stainless-steel teaspoon-drainer the size and shape of a mug....

The vegetables: a single dollop of a pale-orange mash of just... carrot? turnip? I could not tell.

Dessert? I thought they can't go wrong with Tiramisu no doubt cut from a catering-size slab bought in Iceland. Yes, it was of reasonable quality; but I had expected it served on a plate, not a roofing slate!

To its credit the beer was good (proper cask-conditioned ale lightly cooled for sparkle and taste; not over-rated, over-chilled, over-priced, over-gassed, ISO-lager); but the till receipt bore this heart-sinking company name: "The Posh Pub Company". It had tried just too hard.

Not long after, the pub closed but eventually re-opened under a third management with a glossy website suggesting a decent menu. I kept promising myself I would try it, but then the plague hit. It did not survive, and has been up for sale for some months now.

At the risk of being hated by my compatriots 🇬🇧, fish and chips. The 'fish' is usually low quality, caught in the Arctic/Atlantic and frozen at sea with no regard for preserving flavour or texture. It is then coated in a rich batter and deep fried just in case there is any flavour left 🤷‍♀️ Served with a bucket of soggy chips that mainly get thrown away or fed to the birds as no one can cope with that much starch or so many calories. Can be good for surviving a rainy day at the beach though 🌈

@SunshineGirl In the US we call it fish n fries. It's popular yes. But I totally get what you are saying here.
REMsleep · 41-45, F
@SunshineGirl I've always wanted to try real UK fish and chips. Its just something you hear alot on TV.
Where I live all fried fish is done with cornmeal so totally different I imagine.
I've seen fish and chips a few time as a novelty at some bar or tourist restaurant but it looked super artificial so I didn't try it. Looked like fish sticks.
GeniUs · 56-60, M
@SunshineGirl I don't know where you get your Fish and Chips but I've always found it to be amazing. I do not live on the coast where apparently it's even better. The red flag here is you say 'soggy chips' which is not good and even the worst chip shop I've been to doesn't do soggy.
Sauerkraut on a hotdog, Sushi, I'm tired of seeing burgers on every food commercial, Plant-based meat, Chick-fil-A expensive with little portions and long wait time.
Zonuss · 41-45, M
@cherokeepatti I know. The lines here are ridiculous.
cherokeepatti · 61-69, F
@Zonuss I thought it would die down within a few months after the new Chick-Fil-A was opened a mile from where I live. Nope every time I drive past when it’s open there’s lines of cars through the parking lot.
cherokeepatti · 61-69, F
@Zonuss I like chili but wasn’t impressed with Wendy’s and have heard they save the leftover hamburger patties from the day before and chop them up to use in the chili. No thanks
Hotdogs, and anything with melted cheese on it.
Zonuss · 41-45, M
@ShellSeeker The hotdog craze. It never ends. 🌭

Caviar. Its shite. Also Champagne.
cherokeepatti · 61-69, F
KFC, Dominoes Pizza, Subway, McDonalds, Taco Bell and most other fast foods. Compared to homemade food they are crap. Even the boy is saying that now about some of the foods he used to like.
Zonuss · 41-45, M
@cherokeepatti There are better upscale fast food joints. Like Five Guys or [b]In And Out. . Jimmy Johns is good.
cherokeepatti · 61-69, F
@Zonuss I’ve never been to those places, now gluten-intolerant so never will.
Ferric67 · M
@cherokeepatti I agree with you patti
Disguised · 56-60, M
The really expensive food in high end restaurants.... ok its nice but the wastage is unreal.. just to get that perfect shape for the perfdct cook... naw... gimme a lump of meat and strange shape carrots anyday
Sharky86 · 36-40, M
@Disguised I like expensive food etc but I agree about the waste.

I agree all fast foods...
Once in a great while I may have something...yet sorry later.
Married to a fast food freak...he loves it
Zonuss · 41-45, M
@aradia11 A fast food freak. Does he ever take you to dinner to get a Big Mac meal. 😂
Bushranger · 70-79, M
Caviar. Thought it would be fantastic, but it was crap.
Zonuss · 41-45, M
@Bushranger Yuck. 🙂
Bushranger · 70-79, M
@Zonuss Yeah, thought I was in for a treat, lol.
cherokeepatti · 61-69, F
@Bushranger I wouldn’t even consider trying that. My grandpa was a fisherman and I watched him take a catfish and squeeze the roe out and fry it with scrambled eggs 🤢 He didn’t offer me a bite because he knew better, hehe

Truffle. Either it is overrated or I just don't have the taste buds to appreciate it.

Back when I was a kid, Ora Ida made these tator tots that have little bits of green onion in them and had onion or garlic powder taste. They were awesome.
They still make them but the onion taste is so much less.
I also like sweet potato fries and hashbrowns all better than regular fries.
Zonuss · 41-45, M
@REMsleep Hash browns are good.
FurryFace · 61-69, M
yes Oreo cookies and Doritos those Fake Hot chips of pressed chip wood
basilfawlty89 · 31-35, M
@FurryFace try Takis.
FurryFace · 61-69, M
@basilfawlty89 i'd have to google that , i've tried those veggie fry crisps and they are good
Zonuss · 41-45, M
@FurryFace Furry. I love ya man.
But Oreos are not overrated. 😂

Bacon. Granted I don't eat meat anymore, but even when I did, I don't get the huge fuss. And now there's bacon everything. Bacon ice cream, bacon chocolate, bacon vape juice. It's a bit ridiculous.
Zonuss · 41-45, M
@basilfawlty89 Bacon 🥓. Yeah. I stopped eating it now for the most part.
TheLordOfHell · 41-45
I'll take it a step further. McDonald's fries are overrated
Zonuss · 41-45, M
@TheLordOfHell Of course they are. Arby's fries are way better. 🙂
TheLordOfHell · 41-45
@Zonuss I agree. And BK's
