1. “I hate burgers that you can’t eat without dropping half of them on your plate. It’s no longer a burger if you have to eat it with a knife and fork.” jinjo21

2. “All these expensive dishes, in which the main price is gold leaf on top. I want to try an expensive dessert where the price is justified by complex cooking techniques and special ingredients, and the gold foil adds absolutely nothing to the taste.” randomnameandanumber

3. “Lobsters. Perhaps it's because I live where they are caught the most, but I don't understand why people are so turned on them. Yes, they are not bad, but it seems to me that they are more often wanted because of their price than for the sake of taste. And their high price is due to how long they are caught and delivered, and not because of the taste, ”

4. “Sugar icing on the cake. If the confectioner did everything right, then it looks beautiful - but it still tastes terrible, ”- sauseboss412

5. "Truffle. Yes, sometimes a little truffle improves a dish, but some just don't know when to stop. Truffle oil, truffle shavings, truffle emulsion - no one needs so much truffle, let's be honest, ”- galegalondres

6. “Overcomplicated rolls and sushi with a bunch of ingredients. Just let me nigiriand I'll be happy. I don't want to try your experimental California with fried octopus eggs and Norwegian cheese." MadisonPearGarden

7. “Fo. Just listen to the Vietnamese: this is not our best dish and not even our best soup. If you like Fotry Bun Bo Hue, a different spicy but more complex soup. I always tell people: if Pho is the warm embrace of a friend, then Bun Bo Hue is a passionate kiss from a lover, ” Ben Ten Inches

8. "Sturgeon. Many consider it the best fish and a real delicacy, but let's be honest: it doesn't taste that good. In any situation, I will choose salmon, not sturgeon, ” salzich

9. “Caviar, especially black. For the price of a couple of spoons, you can dine together in a good restaurant. Fish eggs are not good enough to be preferred over normal food.” Beeeeeater

10. “Steaks on the bone. I love grilling and have heard for years how the bones inside enhance the flavor of the meat. But when I tried it, I found out that the taste does not change much, and you just paid a lot of money for a tomahawk in which 50% of the weight is bone. Moreover, at a medium rareness, the meat will be dark red at the bone and not at all ready: it’s like chewing an unbuttoned bull. I've done a few experiments with my grill at different temperatures and never saw any benefit." MoistLobst3r
