Hot in linguine or spaghetti with cream or cold in a salad, it's excellent. Edited January 10 by jimbaxters 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dons_1988 Posted January 10 Share Posted January 10 I’m willing to fight the lad who compared a fine steak to a chicken breast. In a twist, vegetarian/vegan dishes get a bad name. There’s some really simple dished with lentils, chickpeas, butternut squash etc that are lovely. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That said, wild brown trout is a beautiful bit of scran. FTFY. Rainbow trout is manufactured shite. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThomCat Posted January 10 Share Posted January 10 Underrated Frozen peas - Versatile, cheap & healthy -adds colour and sweetness to meals. Treacle scones - The king of scones and a national travesty that so few bakers or cafés sell them in its homeland. Tinned sardines - Delicious, cheap and healthy. Lovely on toast or just straight out of the tin tbh. Overrated Oreos: The jumped-up American cousin of the bourbon. Oily tasting Tunnocks caramel wafer - Claggy and not even good for dunking. Also just picture Boyd Tunnock (Dead pool pick ) and his stupid "No" photos with Tories whenever I see tunnocks products. Off-putting. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Blades Posted January 10 Share Posted January 10 Underrated- Peas*Excellent on their own with fish & chips or in a salad in the summer. Great addition to curries & split peas in broth. *Exceptions - Mushy peas & peas brose. Overrated- overly sweet puddings, I’d rather have a citrus dessert anytime. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree if it’s shitty substitutes like soy “fish” or quorn but I more mean just making dishes using non-meat/dairy ingredients. A vegan curry is an excellent example.

Billy Jean King Posted January 10 Share Posted January 10 5 hours ago, jimbaxters said: 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. Well aware of that particular use and you are right in that guise it's practically tasteless but eaten raw as plenty folk seem to do (with peanut butter or pate seems a particular work place favourite) it's bowfin stuff and it has a very distinctive taste. Even celeriac doesn't taste anything like raw celery. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Celeriac smells a bit like celery, but it kinda makes sense that they don't taste the same as they're different parts of the plant and are structurally very different. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BukyOHare Posted January 10 Share Posted January 10 (edited) Underrated Tinned Jersey potatoes A stir fry with the likes of beansprouts, egg noodles, vegetables of your choice and lots of diced meat marinaded in a suitable sauce overnight. You can add or take out whatever you want, is quick to cook and is so filling. Edited January 10 by BukyOHare 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tongue_tied_danny Posted January 10 Share Posted January 10 (edited) Overrated, Italian cuisine. I've never had anything from an Italian restaurant that was significantly better than I could make myself with some dried pasta and a jar of Newman's Own Underrated, Central and Eastern European cuisine. I just love stuff like Goulash and Bigos. Edited January 10 by tongue_tied_danny 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just love stuff like Goulash and Bigos. That is true outside of Italy, most Italian restaurants in the English Speaking world are pretty meh And 100% agree about Central/Eastern European food. Pierogies, goulash, cevapcici, burek, sudjuk and sirene cheese are just some examples of Central/Eastern European things that are fantastic Edited January 10 by senorsoupe 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
