Bacon.
Holy fuck it is very good is made correctly and timely. But somehow it was a Meme that stuck.
See also: Dubai chocolate, affogato, "two best buds running a burger shack" tall burgers... all were amazing, until they became a marketable meme, as you said. And now they're shit.
I don't know why they want to add bacon and cheese to everything. They're fine, but don't have to be in every dish. Is it for the salt?
I'm with the truffles guy saying truffles with the caveat that perhaps I haven't had real truffles properly.
Otherwise, I find KFC too overrated. All fast food chains in general, but KFC in particular gets a hype at least in my circles. From what I hear, you are buying bliss and a heavenly experience in a bucket. Come on. It's just chicken bits with nothing special about them, in fact the cheap deep frying oils can upset my stomach easily.
I've always felt KFC is just rated. Obviously the ads by KFC for KFC will claim it to be the best food ever invented but in terms of how people seem to perceive it and how I perceive it, the experience tastes and feels like what it is. It's mostly enjoyable, fatty salty meat and it's deep fried which is kinda the fast food signature taste and texture. It's got a lot going for it, in the way that fried chicken generally as a food does, but it's also extremely poor quality fried chicken and rarely very fresh but that all balances out to something that pretty much works for what you want out of it and it doesn't seem to me like anyone expects much more of it.
A teeny, tiny bit of real truffle on something that's labeled truffle is fine. Huge amounts of truffle oil on everything sucks! And stinks.
Ill die on this hill btw.
When a KFC meal is perfect its one of the best fried chicken experiences on earth. When you get everything fresh, well seasoned, drink is ice cold... Bruh... Problem is it almost never is either the bun is stale, the chips were cold, the chicken was dry, the burger has just way too fucking much mayo... theres always fucking something.
But that one perfect Zinger box you had 18 months ago will bring you back monthly to try again.
Also weird to me that you’re expected to do all the work to consume the lobster too.
I think canned soup is overrated. The nutritional value is surprisingly low. Salt is high. And when I’m looking for something vegan, I figure soups are an easy genre for option. Nope. Everything has some milk product added to it.
I keep some canned soup for emergencies but everytime I make soup from scratch I like to fill a mason jar or two and keep it in my freezer for a healthier emergency meal
Avocado is fine, but its not something I seek out to eat. If its included in a dish or in a meal, I'll eat it, but I don't find it especially enjoyable. I'm even a big fan of most fruit and veg, but avocado its kind of forgettable if you ask me. I do like cooking with avocado oil though for its high temp usage and health benefits, but I don't really find the flavor of the fruit in the oil.
The best thing that can happen to avocado is to be turned into guacamole. I'm like you when it comes to avocado, could take it or leave it, but I go nuts for guac.
The "two guys burger shop burger".
Maaaate, your burger is shit. It's a precariously stacked abomination that's 8 inches tall, has two ruined patties and half a cup of smoky bbq sauce and melted cheese on it, and then you decided that what it really needed was enough chilli on it so that all you can taste is burning.
Anything "truffle" I've ever been offered smells absolutely terrible to me. While not near as powerful as durian, the smell and taste give me a bit of that vibe.
Perhaps it's all just been fake truffle oil type crap and real shaved truffle is amazing, but nobody's ever given me any of that or inspired me to try it.
Agree 10000%. I went to a truffle party a couple of years ago. Plain cheese pizza, grilled asparagus, steak bites, etc. all with small shaved pieces of truffle (that i assume was outrageously expensive). Those were very good and nothing like the typical stinky Parmesan truffle fries that every restaurant sells.
If I were to see someone shaving it off the real deal, I'd give it another try, but at this point I'm done with the stuff otherwise and even if the real deal is a better version of that flavor, it hasn't inspired me enough to cough up the money for a small real truffle for myself.
I'll extend the truffle hate to all mushrooms. If I wanted food covered in fungus, I would have waited for it to start rotting.
Agree, the first thing that came to mind, seeing this thread.
Wagyu, purely for the texture in this case.
I don't want "steak-butter", I want to rip through a raw piece of meat.
