Overrated Food

HerbcoFood your just trying to start a fight.
GWG8541 No, not at all, just one of those things that really isn’t ever discussed.

I could make an argument that you could add almost any dish to that list.
It is all about how a dish is prepared and did the cook use quality ingredients when it was prepared.Paul

We all have those foods that some think are the end all be all, or how do you not like that response to certain things, I know I’ll be sent to the whippin’ post on this, but whatever!
Here is my list:- Pancakes/waffles - I am hungry within an hour, you still have to eat proteins to fill you up, so what is the point.
- Bread pudding - I have had it a various high end steak houses, where it’s “supposed” to be great.
- Corn bread - this is one of those, well you have to add butter, honey, jalapenos, etc. then it’s good. Let’s be honest if you are having to add a whole bunch of other things to make it good, is it really that good?
- Bananas foster - Same as bread pudding, been to NOLA, had it there where it began, highly overrated.
- Baked beans - Yet another, well if you doctor the crap out of them up, then they are good, sorry sir, hard pass.
- Adding bacon doesn’t always make the dish better - I could argue with you on somethings it actually over powers the dish and takes away from it. If you aren’t careful the dish will just taste like bacon, if that is the case just eat bacon on it’s own.
HerbcoFood Love that you got out there on the ledge ready to get pushed. Many of your points are very valid. Sometimes, simple is better or just using an underused herb that really ramps up a dish. But, not over the top.

Taste is subjective, make no mistake or as the saying goes to each his own said the old lady that kissed the cow.

- Grits
- Hominy
- Sweet Potatoes
- Coffee
The world would be a better place without these….

Grimpuppy Sweet potatoes are ok, sweet potato fries are super blah!

I have so many opinions on overrated foods BUT I won’t go there…… what I will do instead is share that I can eat anything however CANNED green beans are my kryptonite. I cannot doctor those things enough to like them.
Secretly I would say that escargot and lobster are highly overrated. When you need that much butter or mayonnaise to make them taste good…… well I was not suppose to go there LOL!!

Dr_Pain Yea!!! Canned green beans are also a hard NO!!!

Grimpuppy Not in total agreement. But, everyone has “THEIR” list and I respect THAT!!! I know what NOT to serve you when you come over and that’s a good thing to know. It’s one thing I ask people to identify before I cook for them. Many don’t know what they like. But, they DO know what they don’t. Have a good rest of your day. BTW: making GRITS for shrimp and grits for tonight’s meal. Yep, I’m smiling.

Grimpuppy man you better stay out of the south. Them could be fighting words.

Grimpuppy Man how can you live without coffee?

HerbcoFood This recipe will change your mind on baked beans, doctored or not.
Keri’s Hog Apple Baked Beans, basically sweet/spicy with bacon, pulled pork , and apple pie filling:
https://tvwbb.com/threads/keris-hog-apple-baked-beans.21966/I have had BBQs where people go back for 4ths of these. I often add some diced chipotle in adobo for added heat with the sweet.

Grimpuppy Coffee??? It can be used to make gravy or used in seasonings; rubs and marinades, or to keep you awake on those late night smokes.
