Most overrated cusines imo

[Jason Voorhees]

1. Italian
This is my number 1 most overrated cusine. I like pasta and pizza but many dishes are just carbs + tomato sauce + cheese in slightly different configurations. There's no spices to hide the taste so heavily dependent on ingredient quality. If they are the shit the food is shit. The same cabonara can taste like oily sludge or amazing depending on the restaurant. I don't dislike Italian. Easily the best euro food but I just dislike the hype and price for it.


2. French

The king of overrated fine dining. Every time I ate at some muh French restaurant I was absolutely disappointed by the portion sizes unnecessarily heavy drowning in butter, cream, and cheese. The reputation rides more on history and Michelin stars than anything

3. Japanese (especially the sushi/omakase cult)

I get the appeal but the worship around raw fish + rice is too much . Not every piece needs to cost $15 and the minimalist approach means when the ingredients aren’t perfect you’re just eating expensive nothing. Same story as Italian.Chinese deliver way more flavor for much cheaper

4. Thai

It is sweet, spicy, sour, salty but after a few dishes starts tasting like the same coconut milk + chili + lime with different proteins swapped in. Excellent execution in the best spots but not life changing. It’s very good but rarely mind-blowing.

5. Mexican

I once had Authentic regional Mexican food and it was mouth watering but the americanised version of it is trash. most massive burritos, loaded nachos, queso everything mostly greasy comfort food


Honorable mention -Indian food. I personally love Indian food. It's amazing but the problem is the food you get in many western restaurants is just sweet tomato sludge vindaloo on leftover chicken. Mogs hard if you can find the Indian restaurant serving authentic Indian food but those are rare because Indian food uses lot of exotic and hard to find spices

1. Italian

[jgrey080]

I agree with this list (except for Thai since I don't think I've ever had it) when I was in Italy the food definitely didn't live up to its name and French food is also sort of mid. Japanese is okay but people act like sushi is the only thing they eat

I agree. British food is an absolute disappointment

italian food mogs tbh lotta variety beside the typical ones near the southern regions, however it is a tad bit overrated tbh, alotta good pizzas come from innovations done by non italians

french is so fucking overrated muh baguette, muh snail, shit varieties and mid food especially for a med region

japanese sushi in itself is overhyped as fuck, I don't get the appeal its okay but very mediocre, wagyu just puts it up a notch

couldn't find halal food there so won't answer, pad thai rice mogs

never tried authentic mexican food

Cuisine is subhuman cope . You should only consume dairy and meat . And carbs here and there .

Simple food is best .

Thats what we do .

Our diet is 60% dairy

Even Indian does not justify it. Particularly proper South Indian food is underrated. Most of the South Indian food available outside of the region either includes no meat or has weird bastardisation. Most of the taste is lost too. My friend took me to a proper beef parotta restaurant for the first time and I was pleasantly surprised by it. Most people even in India just think of idli dosa as South Indian food

I think American-Italian food is very good but actual Italian food is more of a regular/light eating cuisine rather than where in America we consume large amounts of pizza and pasta made to be very filling, so actual Italian food is pretty boring.

I will say though, authentic Italian sandwiches are very good, I enjoy those much more than authentic pasta or pizza.

@Chadeep @imontheloose

english underrated

 

[SoundnVision]

Southern french food is great it's more Mediterranean.
Also french brasserie, Michelin style food is boring
