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.

I'll extend the truffle hate to all mushrooms. If I wanted food covered in fungus, I would have waited for it to start rotting.

Wild foraged mushrooms are incredible.

I used to hate mushrooms until I started foraging. It turns out I'm just not a big fan of Agaricus bisporus, and it turns out that's the absolute lions share of mushroom consumption in the western world in various forms with various names.

Foraging though, it's all so good.
