Lobster is so so so overrated. 75% of the weight is shell. You could get tiger or argentinian shrimp for the same price per pound if not cheaper and you get 3 times more edible meat by weight.

Bacon.
Holy fuck it is very good is made correctly and timely. But somehow it was a Meme that stuck.
Sushi , you pay a lot to eat possibly parasites
I’m with the truffles guy saying truffles with the caveat that perhaps I haven’t had real truffles properly.
Otherwise, I find KFC too overrated. All fast food chains in general, but KFC in particular gets a hype at least in my circles. From what I hear, you are buying bliss and a heavenly experience in a bucket. Come on. It’s just chicken bits with nothing special about them, in fact the cheap deep frying oils can upset my stomach easily.
Ill die on this hill btw.
When a KFC meal is perfect its one of the best fried chicken experiences on earth. When you get everything fresh, well seasoned, drink is ice cold… Bruh… Problem is it almost never is either the bun is stale, the chips were cold, the chicken was dry, the burger has just way too fucking much mayo… theres always fucking something.
But that one perfect Zinger box you had 18 months ago will bring you back monthly to try again.
All the chain chicken joints (Popeyes, Bojangles, Dave’s, etc) taste so salty as it is, but KFC is off the charts too salty for me to enjoy.
The best fried chicken (for me) is actually from a gas station chain here, Royal Farms, which I coincidentally had tonight!
I still wouldn’t put it as an S-Tier food or anything, but I think it’s well ahead of the bigger brands, and especially KFC.
All seafood. I mean what? I have to eat what basically is a water insect? With a hammer?? lol
Jokes aside, yeah I don’t think it deserves to be a posh food. I had king crab once. Felt nothing great.
Now, a shepherd’s pie on a cold winter’s night besides a fireplace with a lovely lady around… That’s heaven! lol
if you’re a mobster, u eat da lobster If you’re deppert, eat pie of shepherd
I’ve had lobster pot pie at 2 different places this year and thought both were amazing. No smashing required, and while lighter than a hearty shepard’s/cottage pie, they really hit the spot!
Also tried stone crab on our honeymoon this year, and though the shell lives up to its name, some things can be worth the effort!
If you get crustaceans out at a place, you can usually ask them to give it a few whacks in key locations with their big ass knives and then the bulk of the work is done for you.
Wagyu, purely for the texture in this case.
I don’t want “steak-butter”, I want to rip through a raw piece of meat.
I dont think wagyu is overrated but I absolutely cannot justify the cost.
The problem is the taste makes me crave the texture.
I’m a bit abnormal in that I crave texture more than taste though. I love eating steak near raw (blue) with my bare hands so I can do that “nature channel wolf thing” where they rip their prey with a side-to-side wry head movement. It’s primal and glorious.
And if I get that flavour without the texture I am left, wanting.
Gollum had it right in the end. Give it to me raw and wriggling. (But preferably free of parasites…)
The “two guys burger shop burger”.
Maaaate, your burger is shit. It’s a precariously stacked abomination that’s 8 inches tall, has two ruined patties and half a cup of smoky bbq sauce and melted cheese on it, and then you decided that what it really needed was enough chilli on it so that all you can taste is burning.
Avocado is fine, but its not something I seek out to eat. If its included in a dish or in a meal, I’ll eat it, but I don’t find it especially enjoyable. I’m even a big fan of most fruit and veg, but avocado its kind of forgettable if you ask me. I do like cooking with avocado oil though for its high temp usage and health benefits, but I don’t really find the flavor of the fruit in the oil.
What about in California rolls and fresh guac?
Anything “truffle” I’ve ever been offered smells absolutely terrible to me. While not near as powerful as durian, the smell and taste give me a bit of that vibe.
Perhaps it’s all just been fake truffle oil type crap and real shaved truffle is amazing, but nobody’s ever given me any of that or inspired me to try it.
Agree, the first thing that came to mind, seeing this thread.
100% agree. I don’t like the smell to begin with, but what’s worse is that the aroma is so powerful, it completely eclipses the taste of whatever food items it’s mixed with.
Yes, no matter what flavor enhancer you’re adding to a dish, once it starts replacing the actual flavor of the main ingredient, you’ve gone way too far!
Extreme hot sauces, over hopped beers, etc
Truffles* and durian are actually good and you guys are just boring.
*too much truffle oil is nasty
Lol always a possibility. I’ve tried both a few times to give them a fair shake, and while I taste amazing flavor elements in both those things, the cons just always outweigh the pros. 😅
I second your impression of truffles. I’m yet to appreciate them. So far in my books is a thing that tastes like dirt and shoots up ridiculously the price of whatever it’s added into
I see truffle fries most commonly, and I’ve taken to calling them “pig stink fries” in reference to the horny truffle finding pigs. 😁
Nice to randomly bump into you again btw, I haven’t seen a comment from you in a bit!
Cheers! Yes I haven’t been on Lemmy as much lately, but I still check in every now and then.
Also weird to me that you’re expected to do all the work to consume the lobster too.
I think canned soup is overrated. The nutritional value is surprisingly low. Salt is high. And when I’m looking for something vegan, I figure soups are an easy genre for option. Nope. Everything has some milk product added to it.
I keep some canned soup for emergencies but everytime I make soup from scratch I like to fill a mason jar or two and keep it in my freezer for a healthier emergency meal
Canned soup is rated?
Yeah, a solid threeve/ ten.
Lobster High Pressure Processing
Text Article if you don’t want to watch a video, also has more details
There are now machines that will remove the lobster meat from the shell without cooking it, so you can have 100% of the edible stuff with no shell bits.
It comes at a premium, but if speed and a hassle free experience are what you’re after, the tech exists!
Hot damn. Imagine getting executed by high pressure chamber, kind of gnarly
We come up with some particularly interesting ways to execute lobsters, that’s for sure. I’m not sure we dispatch any other food animal in so many ways.
Pizza Hawaii.
Not because of the flavor,
but it should have been called Pizza Brazil.Bubble tea.
MacDonalds foods.
Pizza hut Pizzas.I think I might not be answering this question correctly.
I think it technically should have been called Canadian pizza but there’s already a canadian pizza (pepperoni, mushroom, bacon). Coincidentally, my go to pizza order is half Hawaiian and half Canadian.
Bacon. Cheese.
Agree with bacon but you have lost your marbles about cheese
Cheese.
Heresy!
That said, I understand it’s not too popular across much of Asia, even beyond any lactose issues.
French food (I assume because everything French seems “fancy” for whatever reason, maybe because they’re a bit more “civilized” than the Anglo-Saxons? lol) is undeservedly hyped up, right? Or is my palate too underdeveloped to taste the complexities of French cuisine?
Broccoli has very few ways of actually good preparation. Fuckoli is generally overrated and sucks ass. Pukeoli shouldn’t ever be streamed or boiled like some people do to this disgusting vegetable.
You just aren’t getting good broccoli. The stuff from the store is usaually weeks old and has hint of a funky rotten garbage or a musty moldy taste to it. Fresh broccoli has a nutty earthy flavor and is amazing.
Lowkey I think pizza is a bit overrated.
I mean it’s still good, but there are better foods.
I go a step further and usually just attempt to veto Italian if “where do we want to eat” is brought up.
Again - it’s good - and I’ll eat it. But cmon.
I could eat Italian food, as in actual Italian or Americanized Italian food (not Olive Garden), for my entire life. S-tier cuisine.
Mexican food in general.
Well, you’re entitled to your opinion, I suppose, even if it’s wrong.
Do you want the tasteless mush in a soft wrapper or a hard shell?
Oh, see, that’s your problem. You’re supposed to put beans, rice, meat, cheese, lettuce, guac and whatever else you prefer inside those the taco shells or tortillas, not tasteless mush. I’m glad we got to the root of the issue.
Thank you for the exact recipe for tasteless mush, I will try this tasteless mush.
I think you need to try some carne asada in some real corn tortillas with fresh toppings man
You’re the mayonnaise type. Tip: Don’t put only mayonnaise into the taco. Go crazy and try exotic stuff like salt, chili peppers, and maybe even something acidic.
Skill issue. I recommend you learn how to cook. Your food sounds outstandingly sad.
There are levels.
Like all food, cheap mass produced version is generally bad. Home made with the correct ingredients can be wonderful.
I have to ask what/where you’ve had your Mexican food.
Mexico, New Mexico, Japan.
Okay - the worst Mexican food I’ve had was Japan - but those other two should have given it a fair shot. Carry on.
The worst Mexican food I’ve had was in Spain. The burrito was wrapped in some crêpe-like thing.
But why would you eat Mexican food in Spain, unless you live there. Your brain went “damn, all those people speaking Spanish are making crave tacos”?
Believe me I wouldn’t have done it if I weren’t living there at the time.
