Red velvet cake. Contains chocolate, doesn't taste like chocolate. The most you can hope for is that it doesn't taste like food coloring.

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.


This is true for any local fresh food. People are getting grocery store stuff that’s been chosen for hardiness versus flavor, frozen and shipped thousands of miles.

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!


You’re not getting fresh local avocados.

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.


Twelve-year-olds say “um”. That poster is ridiculous. Ignore.

Most Italian food. Super simple dishes using 3 ingredients that tastes like a peasant made it and restaurants overcharge for it and expect 30 dollars for pasta.
