Jives Miguel Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 Just had a cheese savoury sandwich for lunch. Phenomenal. 100% in the underrated category when it comes to sandwiches. Mayo in general is underrated. People who don't like it need to fucking grow up IMO. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Northboy Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 Aparagus - just a bland, tasteless vegetable. I've never understood why Europeans, particularly Germans, get so excited about it. Some years ago I was in a restaurant in German at the start of 'asparagus season' and they had an entire specials menu based on it, even asparagus creme brulee as dessert. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

10menwent2mow Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 Underrated - Mince. Brilliantly versatile. Overrated - Bacon, gammon, ham. Basically any pig based thing that isn't pork. Too salty and just nae for me. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cosmic Joe Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 Top tip re tatties. Buy them from your local Polish shop. Not very environmentally sound, but they are tremendous. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
senorsoupe Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 I know that seafood is not everyone's thing, but Octopus and Squid are both underrated while I can agree that Lobster is overrated. Not that I dislike lobster but it's just not worth the price point 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

velo army Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 The steak haters simply can't cook. Season it properly and sear it on both sides (da forget the butter!!) and you have yourself a seriously tasty slice o food. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thistle_do_nicely Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 8 hours ago, Jives Miguel said: Bacon, steak and salmon the most overrated by far. Bacon is actually good, but there's a pervasive attitude towards bacon that its one of the best foods in existence. It's merely just good. Steak is literally just a slab of meat on a plate. What a boring b*****d of a meal. Imagine you went to a restaurant and just asked for a plate of plain chicken. Salmon = watery, weak tasting shite. Woulnd't make it into the top 10 tastiest fish. Shite. Bacon - would tend to agree. Id counter that its complemented nicely with a fried egg in a roll, however. Steak - mmrhhhhm, cant agree. Rare/medium rare with a quality sauce (asiago cheese, diane, bearnaise) is at a premium for a reason. Salmon - a fillet maybe but i go the other way on it, if anything it can be too rich. Can go well with cream cheese, eggs benedict etc. Generally anything with eggs is better tbh. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billy Jean King Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 Celery is garbage, totally pointless existence. Love fish and shellfish but having been involved in commercial fishing I concur that lobster simply isn't worthy of its price point. I like it well enough and still catch an odd one when we manage to get our few pots out but simply wouldn't pay for it. Fish wise trout and salmon are well over rated. Love herring and sardines but it has to be really fresh. Hake is seriously under rated and scallops are the food of Angel's but a lovely big brown crab takes some beating especially in pasta with a few clams and prawns. Had veal when out on Saturday night done in a marsala and mushroom sauce. It was melt in the mouth delicious. Hadn't tried it like that and rare to see it on a UK menu in that way. Rated it highly. Oh and a perfectly good steak is a wonderful thing too but is becoming an expensive treat these days. A few under rated lesser cuts are great. Cheeks in particular (pork, beef or from big fish like monk) are excellent when cooked right as can be liver and heart. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hedgecutter Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 11 hours ago, TheScarf said: I made chips in the airfryer last night with some new potatoes I had left over. I also bought some baked potatoes for lunch for the next few days. A simply glorious and versatile food. As I found out courtesy of OTB at the weekend, they're also used to make the white bit of macaroon bars. I did not see that coming. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
