What do you think is an overrated food? (lemmy.world)

Lobster is so so so overrated. 75% of the weight is shell. You could get tiger or argentinian shrimp for the same price per pound if not cheaper and you get 3 times more edible meat by weight.

Mexico, New Mexico, Japan.

Okay - the worst Mexican food I’ve had was Japan - but those other two should have given it a fair shot. Carry on.

The worst Mexican food I’ve had was in Spain. The burrito was wrapped in some crêpe-like thing.

The worst Mexican food I've had was in San Antonio Texas, believe it or not.

Where I live, if you find a hole-in-the-wall Mexican place it will be fantastic, I thought that rule held everywhere. Oh no. No, no, no.

Remarkably bad food, so bad. Mole made with sweetened milk chocolate. American cheese in the enchiladas. Comically bad. Absolute shit food. And outside of that one horrible experience, overall very hit or miss. How? They literally WERE Mexico! I was expecting something so good. The only great food we got there was at a hipster breakfast place.

But why would you eat Mexican food in Spain, unless you live there. Your brain went "damn, all those people speaking Spanish are making crave tacos"?

Believe me I wouldn’t have done it if I weren’t living there at the time.

Mexico is a long way from Europe and the food hasn't travelled well.
