Food everyone else loves, but you think is overrated

[Fire Me Boy!]

Just thinking about foods that everyone else seems to think is the greatest thing ever, and you just don't get...

Me: Nutella. I'd never tried it until today when someone at the grocery store had samples of those little snack packs. So I tried it. It's not bad, but it's certainly overrated.

So I'm trying to think of other things like this. What do you have for me?

Chick-fil-a is just your average garbage run of the mill place. Waffle fries were a decent surprise though.

Seafood, especially shrimp. Mmmm-mmmm-mmm smells delicious doesn't it? Yeah, take of whiff of your wife's pig-panties on period week, smell delicious? You're disgusting. Sushi is just not that good of food, anyone who says differently is a trendy liar.

Bacon- Cool, you found out about the internet this week bro? Awesome, bacon everything dude! Sausage tastes better and you get a lot more volume per fatness serving, plus biscuits and gravy dummy.

Beer- Basically see bacon. Beers! Chive on bro! Date Rape! Not that good of a beverage. Occasional winter stouts or summer ales can hit the spot, but I don't understand people that drink 6-10 and aren't full and tired. So heavy, plus with the calories you could have gotten stoned and eaten 2-3 bacon cheeseburgers drove home and felt like a million dollars the next day, good choice though buddy!

Steak- Not that good of food. It has a gross chewy consistency (rare or well-done), is surrounded by pure fat, and generally is way over-hyped in today's society. Added bonus of getting animal tendons/various body parts stuck in your teeth, awesome! Anything off an Indian, Italian, or even a Mexican menu will taste better and require more skill to prepare. Kids don't like it because it's pretty shitty in general and they haven't been conditioned by society for 30+ years to think it's tasty.

Wings- Are shit, can I get some undercooked meat straight out of Tyson's death chamber with a side of tendons and ligaments in my teeth? Sweet bro. Shit food item.

Grits- Cool bro, you grew up eating tasteless corn diarrhea? Guess what, another shit food item. I am always amazed when I have the grit convo with dumb southerners, it's almost as if you fed them bowls of pig shit as a kid they would continue to eat it as adults, amazing. Lose by a country mile to the superiority of breakfast potatoes/hash browns, yet southern dummies still continue to order it.

Take two of these and call us in the morning...

Oh yeah. ****ing hate mushrooms too.

It's odd because I agree completely with you on all points EXCEPT steak and bacon. Those are the most savory foods out there, totally delicious, and would eat them at every meal if they didn't kill me. A rare, perfectly cooked steak is to die for.

I was feeling a little ornery this morning...

I do like bacon and agree it's amazing on certain things, just not the internet hype of omg bacon-everything. Steak and I have a weird relationship, I grew up in a house where I was lucky enough to have steak at least once a week. My dad/mom would go nuts but as a kid it just wasn't that good to me. Plus when you're 7-8 cutting all the fat off is challenging and extremely annoying. Still just don't get that stoked for it as an adult.

I used to hate steak growing up. my parents would char the shit out of it. it would always be burnt or well done. I didnt eat it at all voluntarily until college when I ordered it medium rare at the advice of my friend. then all of a sudden I figured out why ppl like it so much and I didnt all these years.

I noticed that too. It's just when I first googled it to check my spelling, a whole bunch of pages and images came up with the spelling I used. Then later I just choose that site to link for back up here.
I originally typed it morels.

I love other mushrooms--just think morrells are overrated. Odd texture and not so great for flavor. JMO though. Some people are crazy about 'em. Never understood it.

At this point what does it matter? ^^^

Sumbody slap this bitch!

I'm not a fan of any mushroom.

I'll eat them if they're on pizza, but I never request them.

Morel is the most common spelling.
