What's a food that people generally love but you think is overrated?

Now I live in Singapore, where the chili crab meal is beloved by the other expats: whenever I go out to dinner at a nice restaurant with a group, someone always orders the chili crab. And I just can't. I can barely look at the things without feeling sick. I keep seeing the crabs in tanks in different places, and for some reason something clicked in my mind and I now see them as spider-like (which they are). It was suddenly disgusting to me, like eating big spiders. I can't even look at them anymore, let alone contemplate having a boiled one on a plate and cracking open its spider-legs and body. Gross gross gross. Some of my colleages split a chili crab last night and I could barely stand eating my own meal with the spider-creature on the table. I don't think I will ever eat lobster or crab again.

I wish this hadn't happened. I really used to love lobster and crab.

I feel this way about shrimp. Disgusting.

No offense but I feel like you could’ve just said crab and lobster without using all the disgusting imagery

I’ve always thought this. I remember ordering lobster as a kid and my parents were actually generous enough to let me order it. When it came out to the table I almost freaked out because it looked like a giant bug.

Agree. I don’t waste money on Italian restaurants because I know I can make it better at home.

Same. The fries are so greasy and mediocre.

Hate crabs w/ old bay

Agree on the Old Bay. I love crabs, but dousing them (or anything) with Old Bay completely masks the flavor.
