BukyOHare Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 (edited) Underrated Eggs Steak Pie Worcester Sauce Lidl Sweet Pickle (think Branston's but a fraction of the price).

Hedgecutter Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 (edited) Underrated: cheese on toast*, and liver (the comma is important). Overrated: Crème brûlée. *Don't. You all know what I mean. Edited January 9 by Hedgecutter 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DiegoDiego Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 Not getting the oyster hate. There are thousands of them where I am and cost pennies. Delicious. Liver is underrated and very nutritious. It amazes me that many folk who are vegetarians for health reasons consume some of the most over processed foods going yet turn their nose up at something like liver which is phenomenally good for you. Broth is underrated. Making your own stock is such an undervalued skill in the kitchen. Of the spices, cumin and caraway seeds are underrated. Mustard is bafflingly underrated, as is actual horseradish, not the sauce. Georgian food is underrated and, delicious as it can be, British Chinese food is overrated. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've never been but heard good things from friends who are - for want of a better phrase, uncultured oafs - so I bought Wagamama Firecracker mayo at the weekend. Its absolutely shite. I mean it, it's terrible. There's no spice, it has the consistency of an undiluted puddle and adds nothing to anything its near. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That said, trout is a beautiful bit of scran. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arch Stanton Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 Celery on its own is shite yet along with onions and carrots forms mirepoix in French cuisine and sofrito in Italian. both of which form the basis of a huge amount of sauces. With broccoli, when something looks like that and smells like that then 2 of your senses have already been warned. Mushrooms are the work of the Devil. They don't take root, grow on damp spots and contain poison. A simply cooked bit of fish from the cod family, including haddock, hake and even pollock or coley is what you're after and Smokies, slathered in butter and grilled to warm them through, are a delight. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eez-eh Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 Mince and tatties is overrated. So many tastier uses for both the mince and the tatties. Also fry ups. I like it once every so often but f**k having it on an even semi-regular basis. Far too greasy. Given the choice it’s a continental 9 times out of 10. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bert Raccoon Posted January 10 Share Posted January 10 Underrated, the humble potato waffle. The Mrs forgot to get rolls a few weeks ago for breakfast so improvised woth some sort of potato waffle and bacon tower, outstanding scran. While we're on potato products, Potato Croquettes are also hugely underrated and always are skipped over when the chat comes round to potato based products. Overrated would be any of these chicken restaurants frequented by young men in joggy bottoms 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan Steele Posted January 10 Share Posted January 10 Most overrated food has to be turkey. I'd say crab meat is underrated. Hot in linguine or spaghetti with cream or cold in a salad, it's excellent. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimbaxters Posted January 10 Share Posted January 10 13 hours ago, Billy Jean King said: Celery is garbage, totally pointless existence. Nope. It's an essential part of the trio of veg used as a cooking base- celery, carrot & onion. It will be in loads of dishes that you have eaten but is so subtle that you are unaware of it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
