Overrated Food Items

[CLUBMEDhurst]

Severed human remains

you're obviously eatin' the wrong cuts.

Jamie Oliver's books are better but his food can't compare to the great Gordon Ramsay!

Oysters.

Tried them when I was a kid: No ****ing thank you.
Tried them when I was an adult: No ****ing thank you.

Rather eat some tasty nutritious dirt.

What?! I would eat oysters for every meal if I could.

As for overrated foods; sausages.

Bacon is flat out disgusting. Do love Spam ham though.

I cannot eat anything banana-flavoured, except for an actual banana. They all taste so fake and thick.

As a kid, gingerbread men used to get heaps of love. When I tried it, I spewed. Absolutely, violently abhorrent.

Sushi smells and tastes like piss. Actually piss probably tastes better. I cannot eat anything from the ocean, except sometimes tuna and prawns. Even those artificial fish finger things taste like crap.

The Maccas lamb burger is terrible IMO. Everyone I know has tried it and loved it, but I could only eat a few bites before feeling like vomiting. Mainly the egg. Eggs from fast food joints taste a decade old.

Coke is stupid. It's far too acidic and strong for me. I spend half the time trying to bloody swallow it without my eyes watering, instead of tasting it. I like Diet Coke though.

Duck and rabbit. I don't mind them, but they're not as good as they are pumped up to be. I appreciate my lamb, as a European.

Blackcurrant flavoured things. Absolutely feral, yet everyone seems to love it.

Syrup is disgusting. I'm a more "savoury" person than a "sweets" person, and it is just far to sugary for my liking. Meringues and marshmallows are too sweet for me as well.

Besides those, I will eat pretty much everything else.

Down in Geelong we say Parmi!

Geelong folk are weird though

A lot of seafood is overrated IMO.

I'm not a fan of seafood either, stuff like lobsters, crayfish, crabs, oysters, prawns, tuna, calamari etc just makes me want to barf. I love fish and chips though providing the fish doesn't have that 'seafoody' taste.

I never understood the love for licorice as a kid either, absolutely hated the stuff.

It's disgusting, greasy and makes your breath stink.

Horrible stuff.

Pad Thai is ok but prefer thai green chicken curry

Gai Pad Med Mamuang on a bed of saffron rice. Is good Thai.

As for what's overrated - roasts. And chops.

I prefer to use the word "special"

Bacon is for sycophants and products of incest.

Eggs. How anyone can eat something that comes out of a chicken's arse is beyond me.

I was brought up on roasts. Irish parents, me father loved his roasts so we had roasts. Pork, lamb, beef. Roast carrots. Roast potatoes. Peas, corn and gravy. Hates onions. Hates spices, so we never had anything adventurous growing up.

Then I started travelling, and fell in love with world food.

The European food I grew up with just dosen't thrill me any more. Roasts are probably the most overrated of all the foods or food-sets I've ever eaten. Familiarity breeds contempt I guess.

Those asian noodles that everyone raves about. I tried them and they were shit. Can't remember the name but hopefully someone knows the ones I mean.

Seriously useless post if nobody can help me, I'll remember the name soon enough though.

Got it! Mi Goreng!

ZZZZzzzzzzzzz

Mi goreng?

 

[J_Moore]

Sundried tomatoes.

Why do people feel the need to smother stuff with these things?

I was thinking about these since they were everywhere 8-10 years ago, but I barely see them these days.

Chai tea.

That filth doesn't deserve to call itself tea.

The ones you speak of must be the packet Mi Goreng from the two-minute noodle aisle at Coles. They taste very bland.

Proper Mi Goreng, on the other hand, is fantastic.

 

[HappyChappy35]

Spaghetti bolognaise. Never liked the taste of it for some reason.

Oh, and coffee (except iced coffee) if it hasn't already been mentioned.

 

[checkraiseulite]

Cold Rock Ice Cream. Absolute shit.

Roasts. Chops.

Pho is pretty good on occasion but is definitely overrated.

 

[I bleed Blue]

Have you ever had proper Chai tea. Like chai tea from just a local food store in India?

It is bloody brilliant.
