Hard shell crabs. Super expensive, a lot of work for a little crab meat, messy, leaves yoynwith a smelly mess to clean up. Back in the day was fun for all you can eat in a restaurant for a reasonable price.

"Foodies" or whatever we are calling them now do. You look like a rube raised on Olive Garden as a special treat if you don't love urchin and caviar.

It's just pure oil. Junk oil at that. So gross.


Not always. I was at a theatre where they used coconut oil.

Avocados.

They look, feel, smell, and taste like puke.

I agree with both of these. Pork belly is too fatty. Donuts are okay, but they're a 1-2 punch of sugar AND fried food, and they're just not worth it for how unhealthy they are.


See I disagree on donuts. They are super unhealthy and make me feel like garbage an hour after I eat them, but I still do it occasionally because they are the MOST delicious treat.

Pickles. Get that thing off my plate, it’s contaminating my sandwich.

Wine. And I’ve been to fancy wine tastings. Beer tastes even worse.

The current obsession with all of these iced coffee drinks, Starbuck's in general, overpriced tacos with absurd ingredients, avocados, expensive cupcakes and cookies

They may not be fancy, but I could eat gougeres 'til I burst.

Not OP but it just doesnt do it for me, nor do I particularly want to have to lather on extra sauces for my food before it tastes good. Vietnam has its charms, but the native food is not one, for me
