Kale. It was salad bar decoration for decades until some foodie Influencer made it into a staple a few years ago.

Steak. Maybe because I never had a good steak? My niece's ex was a chef cook. He served us steak medium rare. It was too bloody, the bloody parts kind of slimy, and the meat wasn't tender even though he claimed to have served us some super expensive meat. My dad puked, the rest of us gagged and stopped eating after one or two bites. Had steak in a top rated steak restaurant once. The medium cooked meat was chewy, the bloody part was again kind of slimy and gross. Had steak a few times when we grilled. Tough and chewy. I'm still willing to try steak but it better sweep me off my feet.

Avocados. I don't mind guac but I'm not friends with avocados as a whole. They taste bland and have a weird texture.

^ Avocados always looked like baby s**t to me.

Sushi. I won't eat it. I'd rather eat raw hamburger than raw fish.

Meat

BLASPHEMY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!   :hatred: :hatred: :hatred: :hatred: :bouncegiggle: :bouncegiggle: :bouncegiggle:

100% agreed. I like fish but I can't eat it raw, same with under-cooked (rare) meat.  :tongueout:

A classic German dish is Mett Brötchen

(https://i.imgur.com/MpZofz0l.jpg)

It's raw chopped pork served on a bun. Paprika, salt, pepper and onions go on top  :teddyr:

^ Raw pork?
Isn't that dangerous?  :question:

Nope, as long as it is fresh. Germans have been eating minced raw pork on buns since 1903.

I have some occasionally. Never thought of them as being gross. They taste actually good.

^ yet you don't like bloody steak. Whoever cooked the steak you had didn't know how to cook steak.
Try a Medium rare T-bone or New York strip with mushrooms and onions with A-One sauce. But your right about steak on a grill- if not done right, it's like a dog chew toy.

with steak it's the bloody part I don't like. The center of the steaks I had were bloody, mushy/slimy and cold. Plus all the steaks I had were chewy. You'd think a chef cook and a top rated steak house would know how to cook a steak.

Mett is raw but not bloody. That I can handle.

If it's cold in the middle it ain't cooked right. Cook all the blood out of it. Medium rare. Sear the outside at the end. Make the fat hot and bubbly. I think you would like a well cooked steak. I pay attention when I cook steak. A line chef doesn't.

Twinkies

Shellfish?
Crustaceans?
Oysters?

I think I wouldn't mind a little blood if done right? My dad used to make well cooked t-bone steaks but they were always chewy.

I have grilled steak, and I have cooked steak in the oven with gravy but they were never tender. I have never cooked steak in a pan. Maybe I should try that.

Steak, gimme a burger instead. Too chewy for me and all of the stuff that I would want to go with it would only ruin it.
I would have said bacon 10 years ago when the bacon crazyreally took foot (seriously, bacon scented soap? The hell is wrong with people) but I've come around it.
Twinkies is another one that I never got, every single one I've had tasted stale.
Kale's fine if it's cooked down and not the main dish. My pick for overrated vegetable would be asparagus.  Tastes nasty, even after being cooked. Not even my slightly vegan dad likes asparagus.

Turkey.

If it's cooked right, I can tolerate it, but I'm just not a big fan of it.  My mom made it one Thanksgiving, and it was stronger and more "gamey" smelling than usual.  I couldn't eat it.  The other day, she made soup with some frozen ground turkey in it.  Just the smell of it cooking made me want to hurl.

Blue cheese is another one. 

Effin' gross.  Years ago, McDonalds mistakenly put it on my salad.  As I started eating it, I kept thinking, what the hell is rotten on my salad?!?

I also think Twinkies suck.  And, I feel the same about most other cakes like them that are just sugar, chemicals, and food coloring.

So there is a science behind cooking steak. I was just reading tips on reddit because plenty complain about the meat always being chewy.

~ hand pressure trick for determining doneness. Works for some, doesn't work for most.
~ thermometer. Highly recommended.
~ room temperature before cooking the steak.
~ pummel the steak with your knuckles and fists.
~ cast iron pan. Highly recommended.
~ higher quality steak should be cooked very quickly at high heat.
~ regular cuts of steak can cook at lower heat.
~ for tenderness try coating the steak in kosher salt about 30 minutes before cooking.
~ You'll get the feel for it, it takes some time and practice but it's worth it.
~ good luck.

 :lookingup:

I don't have a thermometer, don't have a cast iron pan. Is it really worth it? I have a feeling I'll need lots of practice.

^ I have a large cast iron pan. But you don't need one. A little bit of oil on the bottom. Get it hot. Put chopped onions in, drop seasoned steak. Taste what your cooking.

I never had kale.
Asparagus is the worst food on the planet. Along with okra. Slimy, nasty.
I agree with Cerebus about shellfish.
Yikes! Creepy overlarge underwater insects. That you boil alive!  :buggedout:

I love me some shellfish, even if they aren't that good for you compared to fish.  Grilled,  boiled, or fried I love to eat them.

Wraps and crêpes

(https://i.imgur.com/ewOcUzwm.jpg)(https://i.imgur.com/rWzYqsKm.jpg)

I know way too many people crazy for wraps, and I just don't get the appeal. Folks don't do breakfast wraps in my neck of the woods. The most common variant here are wraps filled with cream cheese, vegetables, chicken or tuna. B-L-A-N-D as hell.

Same goes for crêpes. Most common here are crêpe with nutella. People act like it is the food of the gods. I do like nutella, but I don't like crêpes. They have a weird rubbery texture. Don't like.

^ Yeah.

Salad. Gerbil food.

Food in general is overrated. It exists because of some weak point in our design to keep us alive, to fuel us, no different than the intake of oxygen or water, and eating is in general sort of gross and has led to too many people abusing it in so many detrimental ways, so why is it this glorious undertaking that it's often made out to be? In general the better it tastes the worse it is for you, and that alone should clue us in on its diabolical nature.

Oh, and green beans are also overrated.

Red Velvet Cake

Had it all my life and seriously, it is nothing special. I once read they use bug blood for coloring, not sure if that is true. The best thing about red velvet cake? The icing.

and this

I don't mind chocolate covered fruit but I always thought caramel apples are awful. They are sticky and difficult to bite because they are on an easy to break skewer stick. Whoever invented the caramel apple didn't put much thought in it.

Red Velvet Cake pancakes from IHOP

they were... ok, not super awesome fantasticness I expected

Coffee. Always gives me the squirts.

Red velvet cake is chocolate cake dyed red. It is the color and "fancy name" that makes it so popular I guess.

Same when I drink alcohol.

Quinoa. It's.... ok.
