What food(s) do you think are overrated?

[In58men]

Going to be honest, I think pizza is overrated. I have to be really in the mood to have it, after I have 1-2 slices I’m done and feel like shit. It’s not satisfying at all.

What’s your overrated food(s).

Recently, I've been making a 3 egg omelette (one egg and the equivelent of 2 egg whites) with parsley, black pepper, fresh uncooked spinach and jalapeño jack shredded cheese cooked in a tiny bit of hot canola oil.

The omelette is tender, the spinach soft and flavorful while the cheese gives it a kick.

You know what is a great omelette—what one NY deli place here called the Fifth Avenue omelette. They no longer make it but I make it now since they don't anymore.

You have to like goat cheese though. I do. Soften it to room temp first.

Roast your own slices of tomato ( I broil them up quick), cook up some bacon. Then make the omelette's eggs. Add a layer of goat cheese, add layer of spinach, then slices of the roasted tomato and break up pieces on bacon on top of the tomato and spinach. It is really different and delicious.

Lot of work though. I usually make the bacon the night before.


I have made an apple cinnamon omelette before too. You can add goat cheese to that too.

Texture in a potato salad should be in the form of diced pickles.
Celery is just a mixture of water and hair.

Can't be a foodie if you don't love eggs.

Ramen?, that shit will kill you.

Eggs, omelette's every day, almost, I like them cold for snacks too.

I have a friend who gives me duck eggs and dammed I am hooked. If you ever get the chance, go for it.

Duck = left




I won't eat store bought eggs , I want fresh bright deep yellow/ orange yokes and tight albumen not runny.

On a side note, my wife is an uber egg snob.

She has to have a 2 eggs over medium, 2 pieces of toast, and 2 slices of cheese. Sausage is good but optional. Then she needs to use the toast to dab up the yolk.

If she overcooks the eggs, she throws a giant hissy fit. Like throwing pans all over the kitchen and shit. If the toast gets cold...same shit. Hell one time I got up early and made her and the girl some scrambled eggs. She said she'd make her own. I said, "wait, what? You'd rather cook your own stuff than eat what I made you?" "Yeah, I guess so"




There are 20 Indian restaurants in Alaska?

I sent the pics to my local butcher who smokes their bacon, She wanted to know if you were single. She said to send you a few pictures.
You can tell she's into bacon.

Thanks. I usually buy at Costco. I do have a local source now, so the next will be that one.

I usually have farm fresh eggs. Never tried duck. I think the albumin is more indicator of freshness than quality. And I remember reading somewhere that the color of the yolk versus flavor was completely mental. On a blind taste test, there isn’t much difference, supposedly. I do agree farm fresh eggs tend to be richer.

Adobo sauce they are packed in is great. My new Mexican grocery is making Adobo sauce and selling what they don't use, Bring your own jar. It's really good.

It's one food I've never over eaten tho'. So never grew tired of it.

Beer battered coconut shrimp (cooked in cast iron) with homemade orange marmalade sauce. Talk about something great to serve the SO on Valentines day ... Can you say game on?

You think a meatloaf is just a bigger meatball with spaghetti sauce over it.

Anyone remember Mama Jasper's meatloaf sandwich??? 1980's at 75th and Wornall in the store, not the restaraunt.

What I don't understand is how people eat it during the hot summer months. It's a great winter food, imo.

My local Pho sucks, I bet you're blessed up there.

My fav when I can get it. Hu tieu do bien.
