What Food is Overrated?

[claws]

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.

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

same with under-cooked (rare) meat. 

A classic German dish is Mett Brötchen



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

^ Raw pork?
Isn't that dangerous?

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.

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.
