Peeps. I don't see the appeal.

Peeps. I don't see the appeal.
I mean, Nutella is okay but it's not god's gift to man like many people make it out to be.
Twinkies. Like why was there such a fuss?
Bacon. The internet needs to smurfing get over bacon. It's fine and all, but damn, shut up.
ITT: people naming like all my favorite foods :(
I don't like this thread :(
The amount of bacon scented things is ridiculous.
My boss insisted I try a piece of bacon dark chocolate he offered me a little while ago. I cannot tell you how hard I resisted to vomit.
Nutella I agree with (hate the stuff), tiramisu, coffee, wine. I'm sure there's more but that's what I can think of
Speaking of which: Chocolate. I mean, I like it, but it's definitely the most overrated food in the history of foods that I happen to actually like.Quote:

Before someone says "Ah, but chocolate cheesecake..." - no, chocolate cheesecake is not nearly as good as most other kinds of cheesecake. Especially passionfruit continental cheesecake. Om nom nom.
Here we go, I'll piss some people off.
Sriracha. I like the stuff, it's fine, but it's just a regular old hot sauce. I've had better, I've had worse. Some peple treat that trout like it's a religion.
Nutella, Chipotle, Moe's SW Grill. I haven't had Moe's yet, but I know it's p much the same thing as Chipotle and yeah. Chipotle ain't nothing to write home about.
I hate Nutella with a passion tho. It's waaaaaayyyyy too sweet.
And I'm with you on the sriracha, sharks. If I use it, I get the paste rather than the regular hot sauce version.
Chipotle is fantastic and I'll not hear a word against it. :colbert:
Someone's breaking the rules of the thread. Calm down, zealot. :doublecolbert:
Okay, you goaded me into it. Steak is overrated.
steak is way better than this thread is
Thank you. Moe's is head and shoulders above everything else* as far as that level of Mexican.Quote:

Moe's is vastly superior to Chipotle, both in taste and quality of food, and in choices and varieties.Quote:

Speaking personally, though, I'd have to say anything at In-N-Out Burger. One semi-recently opened here in San Antonio (first in the city) and it caused an actual traffic jam opening day.
Sliders are also ridiculously overrated. They're just little hamburgers, not manna from heaven.
I love nutella, not so much just to stick on toast or something but as an ingredient to other things. It makes nice milkshakes/hot chocolates, goes well in frosting to make a delicious chocolate frosting. It's nice baked into brownies, spread through the middle of a vanilla cake. Mmmmmmm nutella.
Y da nutella h8?
I knew there was a reason we were sisters.Quote:

I was hoping some insane person would come in and say how much chocolate is overrated. Shipping you off to the Loony bin. I don't need cigs or weed if I have chocolate. trout is not only delicious it's a stress relief.Quote:

They were carted across the nation, literally, by the box. But it seems the days of Krispy Kreme cartons crammed into overhead lockers on domestic flights may be over, with the first store now open in Perth.
Hundreds of people queued prior to the opening on Wednesday, some camping out for several days.
"Wraps" in all of their various manifestations. There is a time and a place for tortilla, but it's just not here. There was no want of a usurper to the throne claimed by King Sandwich for centuries now.
Pizzas are the most overrated food ever.
Truffles. I was at a restaurant the other week and they mentioned the special of the day was a pasta dish topped with truffles. Priced at $70!! WTF? I had some truffle pasta while I was in Italy and I still didn't like it much. I think it tastes weirdly musky.
Also, Chipotle is bland and mediocre and I don't get why people trout themselves over it.
Cake! :stare:
I saw someone mentioned Chipolte. If we're talking about overated food places the kings are Shake Shack and In and Out Burger. In general New York and California probably have the most overrated food places out of any other states.
Oh, I have to second this one, too. Krispy Kreme donuts are basically just sugar with sugar attached coated in sugar. The taste? Sugar. So very boring.Quote:

Lunchables.
It's not like they're bad, but where does the insane fandom come from?
It's little cold cuts with crackers and cheese. Also a Capri Sun.
.......okay? When I was a little kid I remember other kids who hated crackers and juice time at kindergarden (5-6?), but the next year they thought lunchables were just amazing.
PS: I'm old enough to remember a time before lunchables. :(
Not to mention they actually taste terrible.Quote:

I had Shake Shack for the first time a couple of weeks ago. I actually really enjoyed it! We went to the one by MoNH & it was jam packed. Nowhere to sit. No bueno.-.-Quote:

Of course. Lunchables became a big thing early 90s here.
I used to love lunchables and there was many a time when I was a student I'd get one for a snack, just cos... Same applies to dairylea dunkers.
ITT: people grouping things with 50000 different variations as one single thing.
Notable examples: Pizza, chocolate.
Now you're talking right. Krispy Kreme is absolutely terrible. I tried it for the first time last month and was aghast at how bad it was despite so many people telling me it was amazing. I should know to never listen to people with diabetes again.Quote:

Doughnuts in general are highly overrated, although Krispy Kreme is truly the worst. Although I'd probably rather have a doughnut than a "lunchable"...
>>> Yeah, i guess they serve hot sushi in those places..:luca:Quote:

Did you ever have a high quality sushi? I mean obviously sushi isn't for everyone and I thought it was overrated as well before I tasted fresh sushi from Japanese sushi master in classy restaurant. From then I love me some sushi occasionally but I never eat the cheap 'uns anymore, just the good but expensive ones (note that I am from middle Europe, high quality and fresh fishes are really expensive here everywhere so in coast countries good sushi doesn't really have to be expensive as much)Quote:

Well, sushi is just like everything else, really. There is levels of goodness to it.
I'm not a fan mediocre sushi myself. And I will agree that mediocre sushi is overrated. Anybody who thinks grocery store sushi is good is ridiculous. It is edible, but it isn't good. Sushi is really really good when well prepared. Best sushi I ever had was from a world renown sushi chef in Okinawa. Yoshihachi's if anyone ever makes it to Okinawa.
Anyways. Overrated food. smurfing cake.
Unless it is cheesecake.
Or at Nobu in NY. MMmmQuote:

And ice cream not getting the appeal? Are you people for real? I'm lactose intolerant and even I love ice cream although I now opt for frozen yogurt as it doesn't upset my tummy.
Craft beers that have just gone off the deep end with the amount of hops.
I like PAs and IPAs, and I like a really hoppy beer. It's just that sometimes I can't find specialty beers that aren't ridiculously hoppy when I go to a restaurant/pub/store unless I opt for a dark beer like a stout or a porter.
I think crafters going overboard on the hops alienates a lot of people from trying different beers, convinces people that all beers have to be bitter, helps them cover up for lack of subtlety in flavors.
"Hey Alice, did you remember to add the orange peel?"
"I dunno, smurf it. Just dump another 5lb bag of hops in there and call it good."
"Okay!"
I think the most bitter a person can taste is somewhere like 55-65 IBUs (International Bitterness Units), and I know there have to be tons of craft beers that are way above that. That's all well and good. It's like those insane hot sauces. Lots of people like them and should be able to enjoy them.
I just think crafters are leaving a lot on the table when it comes to variety and flavor, and should also focus on some other aspects of their brews. I know the bitterness chases Pumpkin away from most of my beers she tries. There's a potential market gone. Bad business in the least.

The cold cuts in Lunchables are overly processed sandwich meats. Try doing cold cuts with crackers, cheese and fruit with proper cold meats. Hell yeah! I never got the Lunchables thing being awesome. I did however, keep a box of Ritz or Tuc crackers in the cupboard when in college so I always had the ingredients to do cold cuts, cheese, crackers and fruit.
Over rated food in my opinion?
Macaroni Cheese. It's just not that damn good the cheese sauce tastes floury.
Raw tomatoes. Keep that mushy grossness away from me.
What about cherry tomatoes?
I'll answer for him: cherry tomatoes are the trout.
I don't know who mentioned cake, but I'll second that one. Now, to be fair, cake is kind of a wide spectrum of foods, and there are a few types of cake I'll eat, but for the most part I'd rather starve than eat cake.
English Christmas Dinner
To rephrase, cherry tomatoes are trout, yes.
