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

Maryland blue crabs. So much work, so little reward.

Also agree. It's actually true for a lot of sweet baked goods.

Avocadoes. They taste like mushy nothingness. When they are sliced on burger or sandwiches, they literally slide right out on first bite. They add extra fat and calories for exactly zero flavor. Even guacamole is only as good as the extra salsa/onion/garlic/salt additives. Avocadoes are a marketing ploy!

Avocado toast. Yuck.

And crabs. A bushel of crabs on a table in a restaurant at the beach that you hammer and pick apart with your fingers. Disgusting!

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.

Sure, and I'm saying it's not worth one or two dollars more for me for something I like less than other options, despite seeing it praised as better by many. I'm not clear on why that's something to "um" about, but okay.
