Pretty simple.

Name a food, it's either underrated, overrated or appropriately rated.

I'll start.

Meatballs.

Severely underrated IMO. Absolutely ****ing great. Pasta, meatballs, with melted cheese, bloody heaven. Very simple to cook too.
 
Inb4 this thread turns into nothing but arguments over bacon


Macaroni and Cheese - overrated. I know it's not meant to be anything glamorous, but if i'm looking for a no-effort meal/snack, I'd much rather cook up some eggs or a can of soup/beans. Fattening, bad texture, and having relying only on cheese for flavour gets old fast

Have you tried adding baby spinach to it?

Had the best meatball ever at Pellagrinis when they had the restaurant behind it about 30 years ago.
It was the size of a mandarin in a sauce just the one
It must of had all kinds of exotica umami in it
Im guessing parmesan, bread crumbs and mortadella as well as pork and veal
 
Pork belly. Overrated.

It’s mostly fat.

Baby spinach is criminally underrated. I usually eat a bag's worth per day.
Havnt tried it on its own.Paired with some fish (Salmon or Barra), and sautéed down or in a nice Risotto
 
Sushi overrated
Sushi needs to be from an authentic Japanese restaurant rather than many of the westernised versions we have here. The sushi in Japan is very different to what we get here, no monstrosities such as cucumber and avo.

Frozen Supermarket Pizzas - overrated even with additions.
This I heavily disagree with.

We get ours from Aldi for $3 - the supreme. We had some cheese, tomato and capsicum and it tastes delicious.

After all, you're not paying much, so I don't expect a world class dish.
 
But that is why it is good.

Tastes great, but not good for your health, which is exactly why it’s so awesome.

Exactly.

For a frozen pizza, this one goes down pretty well - a wood fired burrata and semi dried tomato one.

Brings back memories of childhood at my nan's, we used to have mccain pizza's on a saturday night at her place. As you say, they are chepa - dont expect the world and are ok.
