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

Super thick hamburgers and those jumbo 1/4 lb hot dogs. In some cases in life smaller is better!

And don’t add that leathery bitter lettuce, flavorless pale tomato, and entire slab of onion to that burger either.

Most ice cream. There is good ice cream to be had out there, but most of what is sold in the US sucks.

I'm currently in a country where durian is super popular. People here LOVE the stuff, and it is sold everywhere. You see it (and smell it) stacked on display in every fruit stand, every grocery. And it stinks of death.

I said I would never eat durian. But two days ago a very kind stranger saw me gawking as a fruit stand worker was slicing the things (and the reek was unbelievable), and sweetly began explaining the intricacies of the different types of durian. This was a sweet older lady, who was so proud to share this part of her culture. Then she bought a packet of just-cut durian and asked me to sit down on a bench and share it with her. I could not say no: she had such a sweet, kind face.

Guess what? It was the most revolting thing I have ever tasted. It took every ounce of will not to visibly gag.

I am now wondering if durian, like cilantro, can taste different to different people due to some kind of genetic variation. Because the sweet little old lady kept talking about how "sweet" and "creamy" the same fruit I was eating tasted to her, but to me it tasted like rancid and revolting.

My favorite. Please send my way.

Bacon. It is fine. Sometimes good. Not a thing that seems to merit the obsession.

Flavored ice cream sucks. I love vanilla and vanilla bean. Great ice cream doesn’t need all the gluttonous mix-ins.

This does make me wonder the same thing!
