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

It’s not even the best food in Japan.

Same with hummus.

Not the best Middle Eastern food at all by any metric . It’s a cold dip/appetizer against the heat and considered a garnish there or a budget meal if you’re poor. You’ll be complained about as cheap or poor if you only serve hummus to a guest

Turkey is overrated. I know it’s the Thanksgiving tradition but too much work for little reward. Would rather make short ribs or lamb chops or several meatloafs. Popular meals and not as dry

Most pizza (though I have had a few really good ones).

Macarons. They're pretty but that's it.

It really not that good and borderline terrible

Asparagus, I think people won’t admit it’s doesn’t really taste good, it’s got an interesting shape.

I didn’t really think people are sea urchin I almost threw up the one time I tried it.

I love asparagus.

I felt the same about sea urchin until I lived in Japan and learned where to get it. I think it has to be incredibly fresh and then it's amazing, but at a run of the mill American sushi restaurant it's gag inducing.

Turkey is easy. It’s all the sides that make it complicated.

I do love Nutella.

But I’m with you on the spinach thing…it gives me a weird feeling on my teeth

Um, it's not expensive. We're talking a diff in price of maybe like one or two dollars at most? Plus it's always on sale. But I agree other "high end" butters (local or not) are just as good.

YES. I get that it's a vehicle for sauce, but it's too much for little reward.

Kind of agree with pasta too. I eat it, and make it for my family but 99% of it is overrated.

Wings are literally throw-away animal scrap. It's bottom rung prole food.

Artichokes. They often ruin a good crab dip.

Australians call their versions of lobsters “bugs”!

Seafood in general but specifically raw seafood--sushi, oysters, etc. I can't imagine why people put that in their mouth.

Eggplant parmesan. A flavorless sponge soaked in oil.
