good foods that are still overrated (and bad foods that are over-hated)

[Mando Pandango]

i'll start. blueberries. mostly a texture thing but there are also plenty tastier fruits out there. but i won't kick em out of bed if you know what i mean

i have no idea if this is a hot take but i've always thought pizza as a whole is a pretty overrated food. but obviously i still like pizza, i just find the cultural obsession with it here in the U.S. to be really weird and overblown

[YPrrrr]

Sushi. It's still good but it's usually not amazing.

Also Korean BBQ. I just don't get it. It's fine but I expected something more unique from the hype. I guess the experience is more the unique part? It's just meat

Also also cronuts. They're neat but not the best donut

Hot dogs get a lot of hate from people due to how gross they are in their makeup and I understand that but they're still solid

Liver also gets too much hate. It's a bit weird and I wouldn't ever really order it but it's fineee

Anything very spicy. I spent all year building up tolerance to hot foods only to find out food tastes better when not hot.


and beef


and hamburgers are shit

Wow hating on blueberries that's low

"Basic" fruits like bananas and apples are underrated. Like ya everyone eats them all the time but I rarely hear people saying how great either is

Cereal is way overrated- can't believe Americans have been tied to this shit for the last century (at least?)

Lies food is better when spicy. Idk that spicy foods are rated highly in the country of mayonnaise devourers but I guess it's catching on to the point of fad

Also people like cereal because it's stuffed with sugar which is tasty and releases endorphins and dopamine. So yeah basically drugs. Same for spicy food actually

[silvertone]

mayo is just as bad as rly spicy food

Wow hating on blueberries that's low

read it again bitch.

Blueberries are goated. Any differing opinion is WRONG

[ikanaide]

i feel like anyone who takes part in classic food debates like pineapple on pizza etc. wildly exaggerate their preference. in that sense it's both overrated and overhated at the same time.

i have no idea if this is a hot take but i've always thought pizza as a whole is a pretty overrated food.

also this but bacon

[Mando Pandango]

i don't see the issue with pineapple on pizza. is it the interaction of the pineapple with the tomatoes? too acidic? never bothered me

[YPrrrr]

For me it's the juice. I don't want an explosion of sweet, acidic juice in the midst of my pizza. I like pineapple but not on my pizza. To me it's just as weird as putting grapefruit slices

Cereal is way overrated- can't believe Americans have been tied to this shit for the last century (at least?)

its also like an evil billion-dollar industry hellbent on propagating lies about cereal being "healthy"
