Sushi is over rated. I could give it up for life easily8

Carbs like bread and pasta are boring, unflavourful food matter, and only useful as holding devices whilst delivering meats, cheeses, and delicious fatty sauces into my mouth..
I also find herbs disappointing as a flavouring agent..1 -

I don't like to waste my calories on oil either - I don't get why people find it so flavourful... But I don't use those spray cans because they contain propellants and silicone which creep me out. I use a Mysto sprayer with Olive or Avocado oil in it. The calories this way are the same as the store bought cans, but without the weird junk in it. I prefer to get my healthy fats from avocados and nuts which are yummier than oil.

Also, salt on fruit.
Nothing worse than biting on a pineapple and there’s salt all over it.
YEEESSSSS!!!!
I do not understand this at all! I like my fruit sweet, just sweet, and nothing else.
Also, people need to keep their salt away from my chocolate and caramel! They are ruining perfectly yummy desserts..1 -

I'm one of those 'salty' people! I could put flaked sea salt on just about everything....😋4 -

Even fresh herbs?
We have a garden with rosemary, sage, bay, mint, and chives. Picked fresh they’re far superior to dried.2 -
Coconut is one of my favorite foods. Nobody likes it, which makes more available to me.
Squid sushi is good and so is cooked squid.
Liver and onions is pretty good, but I have more favorite foods.
I don't like salted caramel at all.
If pineapple makes its way onto my pizza, I will still eat it.
If strawberries make their way onto my pizza, I will probably still eat it but I have never tried it.
If I lived anywhere near the UK I would try haggis and black pudding if I could get my hands on it.
Somebody else mentioned braised frog legs earlier in this thread. Will confirm it's pretty tasty.
I love people who hate sushi because they leave that much more of it for me.
I love blue rare steak. In general, I like raw food, but cook it anyway for safety measures.
I'm allergic to Nutella but made the risk anyway just to try it since everyone was raving about it. I was underwhelmed and I don't feel like I'm missing out on it.1 -

Agreed! It's like they cancel each other out flavourwise. The sweet loses it's sweetness, and the salty fry loses it's hot salty goodness.. Weird.MargaretYakoda wrote: »Even fresh herbs?
Lol, yup even fresh. I don't hate them, I just think they're overrated. I am more of a spice person, curry powder, cumin, paprika, pepper, garlic and onion powders as well as fresh (I don't consider chives an herb cause it is basically green onion)..
My parents loved to garden and we always had fresh herbs. I just never thought they were that special. I do think they're useful for sauces, where the flavour really gets pulled fully out, and they're needed for stuffing... but on meat and vegetables, meh, I don't get it... I never felt fresh was any better than dried. I hate basil, don't care for oregano either. The only herbs I find notably stand out are dill and thyme, I like them both more than others.

Since, we are discussing cooking oils... They taste like nothing to me. Absolutely nothing. Is it like the "cilantro tastes like soap" gene? Am I missing a chromosome that would make me appreciate the flavor?3

Taste buds and tastes are just different. That's why it's hard to give advice sometimes about how to still eat the foods you enjoy6

Still think pizza is overrated. 🙅🏼♀️4

I am missing that chromosome too!!! People always say olive oil tastes peppery; I don't taste pepper at all. It does have a slight taste to me, sort of earthy/bitter I guess, but baaaarely. The only oil I think has any flavour are the infused ones, but even those are mild. Not worth the extra cost really when I could just add the same flavours to my dish, but stronger.
Do people think cilantro tastes like soap???
I had no idea.Safari_Gal_ wrote: »Still think pizza is overrated. 🙅🏼♀️
Agreed!

i noticed that store bought olive oil has a very weak flavour compared to fresh, bought from the producer. My family buy it straight from the producer and i use that one over salads or cooked food. For cooking i use the store bought one.0 -
Cinnabon is disgusting the icing texture reminds me of snot!2

Not even warm, freshly baked bread with the crust still super crispy? I could eat an entire loaf (and have😳)ChaoticMoira wrote: »Carbs like bread and pasta are boring, unflavourful food matter (...)
Pasta does need some sauce and/or cheese to help it along, though.8 -

Bleh!
It is an excellent way to transport butter and creamed soup into my mouth though. Yum!
One of my friends is like you. She could eat a whole loaf. I don't get it. I just want fat, creamy things.

There is a LOT of bad bread out there (either over-proccessed or stale) and I could absoluetly see that making someone not like any bread4

Avocado isn't all that great. It's good in quacamole or when it's seasoned well but eaten straight it's just kinda meh.6

Totally agree. It’s okay…I’ll eat it, but to me it’s a waste of calories. I don’t understand when people go nuts for it.3 -

I really like a 'good' avocado...far too often, however, I buy ones that have no flavor and are just bla. The good ones I've had are absolutely delish and love them!
They are a little pricy where I'm at, so I rarely take the chance on getting a good one!0 -

Agreed and don't get the avocado toast craze0 -
Nutella is disgusting 🤢 it tastes like cheap pound shop rubbish.

Chinese food is poison.

Avocado in a bun with cottage cheese and an egg with a slightly runny yolk,salt and pepper, is one of my favourite things to eat. Sadly, i haven't had an avocado in over a year for various reasons,and i miss it

Avacado goes bad so quickly and isn't exactly cheap. Yeah, it's a bit over-rated1

OMG all this avocado blasphemy is hurting my soul!!!
I could put it on almost anything!Walkywalkerson wrote: »Maple syrup 🤮 just why?
Agreed. I do not understand people's obsession with that stuff. It is fine mixed into a sweet and savoury sauce, but as a sweetener, or syrup, bleh..
I'll add, I feel the same about honey.3 -
Tripe/Tripas/Cow stomach, love Pozole but can't do Menudo2

I find the flavored, sweetened creamers completely disgusting, undrinkable. I like my coffee with milk, but I'll take it black before putting that stuff in it. Yuck, bad taste, bad mouth-feel.
More for the rest of you!4
