What do you think is an overrated food? (lemmy.world)

Lobster is so so so overrated. 75% of the weight is shell. You could get tiger or argentinian shrimp for the same price per pound if not cheaper and you get 3 times more edible meat by weight.

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.

All the chain chicken joints (Popeyes, Bojangles, Dave's, etc) taste so salty as it is, but KFC is off the charts too salty for me to enjoy.

The best fried chicken (for me) is actually from a gas station chain here, Royal Farms, which I coincidentally had tonight!

I still wouldn't put it as an S-Tier food or anything, but I think it's well ahead of the bigger brands, and especially KFC.

I like Popeye's spicy fried chicken (pieces, not tenders) and their blackened tenders.

[–] anon6789@lemmy.world 3 points 4 months ago (1 children)

I used to get the blackened tenders, but I must be the only one because they always took so much longer to get than the regular tenders. They're pretty alright though otherwise.

Yeah, always have to wait but at least they're fresh.
