Edible gold… considering it over-rated since it’s used in too many high-end establishments. Considering it overrated because it adds no flavor to the dish
Most meats, and I say this as a person who loves to sink their teeth into something. It’s not BAD, but the way people go on about it you’d think they’re God’s gift to taste buds. Like, bacon is objectively mid. Slow cooked ribs are good, but once every 3-6 months.
Beef Wellington. Yes, I said it. Take a really good piece of sirloin, prepare it with mushroom duxelles, gravy and some cooked vegetables.. and put a piece of stale pie-crust on the side if you really have to, along with a small cured meat and fresh things in a salad with some vinaigrette or something.. and that’s a good dish.
And it’s easy to make, and easy to get it cooked perfectly. Put it all together in the most complicated pie in the universe — and it’s really, really difficult. So why?
Smashburgers. Some of these Keith Lee highly rated places serve these salty crispy burger patties. I don’t get why this is preferred over a medium cooked juicy burger
“authentic” food… There is no law that says an “authentic” burrito tastes better than the one I get at taco bell. Sometimes I might like one, sometimes I might like the other. There’s is no moral high ground on “authentic” lol. I can’t fucking stand sauerkraut. I can’t understand enjoying it. It’s literally the single worst taste in the world to me. Does that mean that people who like it are better than me? I loooove garlic. Apparently, a lot of people can’t stand it. Does that make me better than them? I just hate people who think they have a high ground based on what they’re into.
Bacon. Sure bacon is quite nice. But pop culture treats it like it’s the best thing since sliced bread. Which it ironically is. But you know what I mean.
Not a big steak fan. I like a sauce and a carb that you can incorporate the star of the dish with. Like I’d much rather eat a great burger than a great steak.
Don’t get me wrong. It’s good. I just think it’s extremely overrated and almost serves a status symbol just as much, if not more.
Comments
This is going to get me crucified in certain communities, but I think pasta is kinda mid.
Japanese Melon Pan
Pho
Tom Kha is way better.
Ketchup. It shouldn’t exist
Sushi
Pad Thai or Pad See Ew. Thai curries are so much better.
Shark fin soup. Had at a friend’s wedding before it was banned. Aside from just being utterly cruel, i can’t understand why anyone would eat it.
Sharks fin, tasteless overpriced, does unnecessary harm to endangered species and indirect damage to environment

The sturgeon eggs otherwise known as caviar.
I love pizza, but it is unhealthy.

Kombucha 🤢

Kale
Foie Gras.
Guys, if you don’t already like liver, you’re not gonna like foie gras.
Anything that has gold flakes
Crab, lobster, and shrimp specifically, but basically all seafood too. At its best it tastes almost like nothing, at its worst it’s disgusting. 😮💨
Boba is a gimmick to sell otherwise unremarkable drinks.

Kale. No flavor and the texture of a crisp dollar bill. Give me collards any day.
Pizza
Uni. If it’s more than 2 hours out of the ocean, forget it, it’s past it’s best
French fries
sulfur-y foods: Brussels sprouts, broccoli, kale, hard boiled eggs
Smashburgers. Some of these Keith Lee highly rated places serve these salty crispy burger patties. I don’t get why this is preferred over a medium cooked juicy burger
Bananas, pork chops, fresh pomegranate (not juice)
Avocado. It’s….. okay.
Dubai Chocolate, ridiculously overpriced and very average.
Mac n cheese
Chicken Parm
Pho. It’s highly beloved here in the PNW and I just don’t get it. It’s broth
Fries, I guess I’m just over them, they come with everything
Matcha – tastes like grass
avocado toast — it’s become such a trendy thing that sometimes it’s not as exciting as the hype.
I do not care for crab

Really can’t speak to others people’s tastes but starbucks strikes me more as a me too social club than good coffee

Oysters
Taste like harbor water.
Eggs
Macarons do nothing for me.
Lobster
Hummus
Cauliflower’ rice’
Pizza and Burger
Mac and Cheese. Pasta or macaroni of any type, for me is meh at its best.

Yes. Another thread to expose everyone who has the taste buds of a 5 year old. Let’s go

Bacon. I’m vegetarian, but even before I was – and people just obnoxiously put it on every damn thing. It’s weird.
It’s really not that good.
Panera bread! It’s disgusting.
Veal. I don’t think people actually like it, they just think saying they eat veal makes them sound sophisticated.
five guys
Also pancakes. Unless you drown them in syrup they’re just round circles of bleh (even in syrup they’re just…fine).
Beer.
It’s very urine-ish.
