But anon, I need wine because I'm an adult.

Truth is, if you think sushi is overrated you're probably not eating the right stuff, aware of what the factors are that make it good, and talk to people who rave about it but don't actually eat the real deal.

Regarding the last point, most people who rave about sushi don't actually eat sushi. They eat these sauce drenched, deep fried rolls. Yea, they're good and unique, but not sushi.

Even in non-flyover cities with a solid japanese population, you will have to put in an effort an a legitimate sushi place. And by legitimate, I don't mean expensive. Sushi might cost a little more than going out to a decent restaurant but it doesn't have to cut a hole in your pocket.

The sushi pic you've posted doesn't even look good. That salmon's color is bright orange, with minimal amounts of fat. Bad, farmed fish and the worst part of it right there. That wasabi looks like it's oxidized to hell and doesn't have the vibrant green color it should have. That rice doesn't even look like the shortgrained rice that makes nigiri the elegant experience it is. It's very densely packed and will make you chew more than you should.

Now, maybe you just don't like sushi, and you know what's up. That's okay. But it's more likely to me that you're not getting decent stuff and not talking to people that are either.

>>9377551
>Sushi might cost a little more than going out to a decent restaurant but it doesn't have to cut a hole in your pocket.
Keep in mind the kinds of people who freak about sushi being a war on the proud white race are likely to consider Olive Garden to be fine dining. A meal's worth of sushi at a decent restaurant is probably going to cost you $35-40 not including drinks. No flyover trailer trash is going to even consider spending that much on a single meal unless it's a steak.

>>9377589
You speak truths.

And also relevant to this thread, I think steak is overrated. Most steakhouses ramble on about their aging process and then they just cover the fucking steak in salt. It's not that great of an experience. I'd rather make a proper one at home.

>>9377542
That's pretentious. Buzzfeed told me wine is a scam

>>9377551
Whatever, sushi is a meme food popularized by the 90's simpsons episode

>>9377504
so you're asking for opinions here since food is subjective
sushi is my favorite food, its the only way i like to eat fish (not shellfish, i'll eat any shellfish any day, forever and ever)

overrated foods imo:
>wine
>coffee
>any cake or pie
>any brand instant noodles
>'gourmet' sandwiches
>bacon
I like bacon a lot, but not 'lose-my-fucking-mind-every-menu-item-has-bacon-in-it-now like it'

its the only way most of the population will eat it

>Mexican food changed to texmex or 'baja'
>Italian food changed to olive garden recipes
>Chinese food changed to typical delivery of general tso's and kung pao
>Japanese food was pretty much funneled into sushi, ramen, and hibachi joints

unchanged traditional food joints are hard to find, but very worth it. they are becoming more popular as this generation are more traditionalist
but if you want the most authentic, go to that country (if you have to means, that is)

I was re-classing in Virginia a few years back for 105 days during the winter
I'm from Texas and met this guy from Washington
One of the last few days, our class got together and grilled in the park and drank beer
We all brought hotdogs and hamburgers, and me being from Texas I brought a few steaks. One for me and the others people could eat.
The guy from Washington says he hates steak and thinks I'm an idiot to even waste money on it (I bought prime ribeye)
So this blows my mind, I have to ask him;
>Me: What? Do you really not like steak?
>This guy: Yeah, it's terrible. I would never eat it.
>Me: How can you say that, steak is great. Why don't you like it, have you ever tried it?
>This mother fucker: I don't like chewing for 5 min just to get it down. It's not worth it at all.
I don't even know what to say, this guy has never had a decent steak in his entire life. So much so, that he think's all steaks are like that. He was 36 yr old. Blew my mind.
I know I offered him some of my steak, so I could show him that it could be good (i usually cook it medium rare)
I can't remember if he tried it or not, I just know I didn't change his mind. So sad.

Is this you? Is this why you think its terrible?
You can get your own, a good cut, at home for $8. So it shouldn't be the price.
You can season it however you like, so it shouldn't been the flavor.
Are you vegetarian/vegan?
What's the issue, why are you tongue stupid?

Jesus, dude, a bit of excessive luv for a hunk of beef that a fucking retard can cook in 4 minutes. It's just a quick and convenient, if expensive relative to other proteins, dish that really has no complexity whatsoever. And no wonder - it developed on the american frontier where caucasian, bland, shit food reigned supreme and an overabundance of cattle replacing the much more flavorful exterminated bison made it cheap.

No. I buy prime primals of grassfed bone in ribeye roasts, cut them into steaks and vacuum pack and freeze them to eat whenever I don't want to bother with much cooking effort. So yeah, steak is overrated. It's just a meal I can throw together in minutes.

>>9378145
so your definition of 'overrated' is: its too easy to cook for people to like it that much
try making a pan sauce next time or maybe use south african seasonings, maybe then it'll be complex enough for you to enjoy your meal
if you are buying all that high quality meat you are claiming, for a meal you do even care about then I think there's another issue with you and steak
stop spending so much money on mediocre meals
being over or underrated isn't the issue here

Hey dickweed, if what you're saying is that only an extreme minority of sushi is good, aren't you then saying that sushi is bad? I mean really you're agreeing with people that say sushi is overrated because you're effectively saying that 99% of it is. Put even simpler, if good sushi is the exception to the rule, then the rule is sushi is bad, you fucking queer.

That's one way to frame the distinction. The other way is to say that there's a distinction between real sushi and fake sushi.

Now, one may argue that real sushi here is synonymous with good sushi. That's not the case I'm arguing for. Real sushi could still not be fresh, could use lower quality ingredients. But what I'm criticizing is sushi that in all likelyhood uses incorrect ingredients and isn't prepared properly. But I see your point, but that's more of a projection of your argumentative rigor, not mine. Maybe Book I of the Republic will help. Your argument is Thrasymachan.

A box of 18 macarons costs around $50 here in Norway ..that is if you buy them online. In shops, they are even more expensive.

Lobster. If lobster was so good, you wouldn't need to drown it in butter to make it paletable. I'd rather eat a ton of shrimp steamed in vinegar and old bay, or shrimp tempura, or garlic shrimp, or any kind of seasoned shrimp, rather than eat plain lobster with butter. Even if lobster was cheap, I'd rather get shrimp.

To be fair.

In Japan sushi places are separated into "businesses" and "restaurants" depending on their primary goals. Business sushi is there to make money and although there is a minimum bar for quality. If you go to a place like hamazushi, it's pretty garbage compared to the real deal. Restaurants (sushiya) are where you find the billion times folded knives and dedicated chefs. They are extremely different experiences. Likeソ andン。

There's plenty of good wine at reasonable prices, you just have to be smart about your shopping. Good Napa cab for instance is not cheap and cheap Napa cab is horrible. Then there's stuff like Barolo or Pomerol which is simply never cheap. Then there's stuff like Lodi zinfandel which is simply never good.

But from places like the Finger Lakes or the Loire Valley or Alsace or South Oregon, there's pretty good wine for reasonable prices (and sometimes also, amazing wine for high prices). And if you're scraping the bottom of the barrel for budget, Chile has got some mass-market wines that are perfectly respectable.

I didn't mean to be so insulting but I'm tired and my vagina is gushing blood.

Anyway wine doesn't really have much marketing at all. It's not on commercials like beer and it's not on billboards like liquors. In a STORE, wine prices tend to indicate quality levels fairly well. A five dollar wine will be trash. A ten dollar wine will tend to be a good daily drinker. A 15 dollar wine will tend to be nice. A 20 dollar wine will tend to be great. After 25 or 30 dollars wine tends to be better but in most people's palates has very little marginal returns in terms of being better tasting. What I'm saying is that most people's wine experience should max out at around 30 dollars for a bottle and that's how most people tend to shop anyway.

But that's only for domestic wines. Taking into account the fact that certain lands are expensive in California/Oregon/etc and that will add to the cost of the bottle. Argentinian Malbecs can easily be as good for ten dollars as a 20 dollar bottle of Willamette Valley Malbec. On the other hand shipping costs for French wines will raise costs. A 15 dollar Bordeaux may only be as good as a ten dollar Napa Valley Pinot.

Yes, you are correct in saying that wine is much different than it used to be. To most people wine was just what you had at a nice restaurant or it was jug wine that you had with dinner. Old people still buy jug wine like Livingston or Beringer because its what they drank at the table and it's not expensive. Some of those jug wines are actually pretty decent too. CK Mondavi jug wine and Black Box boxed wine is actually good wine.

I like a good steak just fine, but not enough to warrant the price compared to pork or even lamb. Also I like my steak dry aged which is so fucking expensive its like fuck that noise.

Entirely overused in western cuisine currently. Not even 50 years or so ago you only found garlic in Southern European cooking and now its in FUCKING EVERYTHING. Garlic is so overpowering and forward in flavor it can easily become a crutch and fuck up any nuance you had going.
Don't get me wrong I like garlic well enough where its needed, but that's pretty much limited to Italian or Eastern cuisine and its a fucking sin in my house to mix garlic with beef and ruin the flavor.

No, the thread is about food that is overrated. Overrated =/= dislike.

>>9384350
Most people cannot tell the difference between wine. Its overrated. Not saying bad but certainly overrated.

>>9385567
If I gave you a glass from a bottle of Carlo Rossi Red and a glass from a bottle of Decoy Pinot Noir you would certainly be able to tell the difference in quality. Believe that.

>>9385566
It is ultimately just food you dislike.

>>9385695
No, it isn't. The two are not mutually inclusive. You can like a food but still think it is overrated.

If OP was "foods you dislike" you would be correct but it's not so.

>>9385573
Ill succeed that if you gave it to me i would. Ive had both. But the average joe or jane. No, they wont. Bur still overrated

>>9385725
They aren't but this is a Mongolian thumb wrestling forum and most people are just being shitposters.

>>9385725
There's no substantial difference between "disliking" and "not liking as much as someone else." Either way you are on the bottom of the spectrum.

If we get more people involved and you find yourself in the middle, what does that really even say about the food? I have no strong feelings one way or the other but let it be known that I enjoyed it less than other people!

>>9385751
>But the average joe or jane. No, they wont.

Sorry but lobster is not good, period. Shit food for people who think expensive = good. Crab though is a god tier sea bug, the smaller the better. I've had the giant memebugs out of the HK typhoon shelters, 2/10 would not repeat. Small animals have the best tasting flesh.

As for the wine, pinot noir is a labor intensive grape and cheap bottles from expensive regions (such as california) taste like shit. If you want to drink well on the cheap you should really be sticking with rhone grapes, preferably from places with a glut of them, like europe. $20 on a GSM blend, even after import fees, gets you a damm good bottle of wine.

Anyone who says they like cheap cali pinot is either lying or their mouth is broken.

It's one of the few of those early 20th century 'high class' dishes that actually warrants the reputation imo. Pastry+ mushroom+beef is a great flavor combo already, and the way it's prepared traps all the meat juices. It's really nice.

>>9386503
Basic economics, cleetus. Europe has an insane oversupply of wine grapes, unlike in America where the worst grapes still get made into wine, they are forced to turn half their crops into industrial ethanol to avoid a total collapse of the industry.

This gives them the luxury of being picky about what goes into the bottles, anyone who drinks wine knows they are very difficult to compete with on quality to price ratio.

Believe me I'd love it if America had this problem but at the end of the day I'm loyal to my wallet and I'm not drinking shitty wine just because muh patriotism.

Avocado in various things is totally fine. The problem is when people try to charge 2+ bucks for a mediocre ingredient. Its like charging extra for tomato or lettuce. The burger is better with it but they aren't worth an extra charge

Steak is good but I definitely have heard people talk about it like they are about to jizz. It's good but it's literally just cooked cow bits. Even if you cook it perfectly it still just tastes like good steak and is definitely way overrated. I could go the whole rest of my life eating pork, chicken, and fish, and only miss beef in it's a little bit.

Steak is nice, but for the same price, I prefer sushi. Uni might be overrated, but I am still addicted to it.

In my region, however, Mexican, Chinese, Thai and South Indian are all horribly overrated. Mexican and Chinese make me ill, most Thai restaurants overcook their meat and South Indian tends to lack subtlety. Oh yeah, and Vietnamese pho is bland, and most kebab joints serve meat that is too dry.

tl;dr -- food sucks. Soylent, here I come!

>>9388155
>also nb4 "terrior" yes I realize different dirt
Like most people who grouse about nice things being a scam, you don't understand the term "terroir" as it is used when discussing wine

The literal translation is something like "dirt" or "land" which is why it's usually misunderstood as being *only* about the dirt. But "terroir" when discussing wine refers to all the environmental factors. Water supply, sun, temperatures, and so on. These are not subtle effects, you do not need a trained palate to differentiate between wine made from the same varietals grown in drastically different climates. It's further amplified by the vinification choices that are made by the wine maker, sometimes in response to terroir. Total malolactic conversion vs no malo, for instance. Or chaptalization vs none. Or whatever. You can look these up, they are usually baked into AOC or national regulations which are usually dismissed by plebs as being about "protectionism" even though the reality is they are very helpful in predicting what a bottle might taste like since just knowing the grapes is usually insufficient information.

As you said, the soil differences are there but they are subtle enough to get butthurt over, if that's how you get your rocks off. A few higher end wineries will provide detailed technical sheets on the wine, and sometimes you can have the opportunity to do a side by side comparison of the same clones grown in two nearby patches of land with different soils. However, you're not going to find that kind of thing at a grocery store, or even most wine shops, since most consumers (although this is changing) are put off by technical notes and just want inane artwork and "tasting notes" instead.

they're expensive because they are hard to ship fresh, can't be caught everywhere, and people really like them

>So you mean, like most seafood?
No, not like most seafood. Some seafood goes bad very very fast after harvest, some does not. Most fish will keep for many days on ice. Oily fish like mackerel or herring go bad within a day. Red mullet even faster. Crabs and lobsters go bad even faster than that. The only practical way to ship them is to either cook them first and then ship the cooked product (which is why "crab legs" at the supermarket are always pre-cooked when you buy them), or they are shipped live which is obviously more costly than shipping just frozen seafood.

The only way lobster is over rated, is at Red Lobster. They use low quality catches and charge way too much for them.

Fish, and shrimp, tacos aren't from Mexico. They are 'tex-mex'

fish and shrimp tacos are Mexican food, a lot of retarded Mexicans from southern Mexico don't even know their own country's food.

ok, i believe you now

a dish that uses a culture's spices, seasonings, and technique does not mean it is from that culture

pancakes. i don't fucking get it. they're OK, i'll eat them if somebody makes them for me, but most of the time i get sick after 1 meanwhile everybody eats 4 and stil wants more. i even have them with toppings and stuff too, but the toppings are all that i'm enjoying.

once you realize that birthdays are about your friends/family feeling good about themselves rather than making you feel good, birthdays will be a lot more chill.

People can be retarded about things they're supposed to be experts about. "Professional chef" is really meaningless as anyne can get a cooking degree here in Mexico.


Fish and shrimp tacos come from Baja California, they're traditional food in Ensenada, La Paz, Rosarito, etc.

Southern Mexicans think that True Mexican Food (TM) consists of nothing but insects and heavily spiced sauces.
