What food is totally overrated?

[Shiny]

Spoken like someone who has never had sushi in Japan or on the west coast of the US.

Or at Nobu in NY. MMmm

Also saying cake is overated means you've never had a proper cake and I feel bad for you, son. I got 99 problems, but cake has never been one.

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?

[chionos]

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.

To rephrase, cherry tomatoes are trout, yes.
