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.

100% agree. I don't like the smell to begin with, but what's worse is that the aroma is so powerful, it completely eclipses the taste of whatever food items it's mixed with.

Yes, no matter what flavor enhancer you're adding to a dish, once it starts replacing the actual flavor of the main ingredient, you've gone way too far!

Extreme hot sauces, over hopped beers, etc

Me whenever someone tries to say that In N Out fries are the best while dunking them in a gallon of ketchup. Good fries should stand on their own.
