Pad Thai is overrated in my opinion.

Thai curries are underrated.

How can people drink seltzer? It isn't a toned down 7-up, it's baking soda mixed into water. Yuck! I'm hoping mixing beverage packets and sugar into it make it halfway palatable.

I like to have good healthy old peanut butter, bacon and bramley apple sausage sandwich for a snack sometimes, in between meals of course. For an in between meal snack, it's a underrated dish.

I think you mean truffles.

For me:

Overrated: lobster, caviar, sushi
Underrated: pierogies, most things chocolate
Except for the trifle comment I could have written this - agreed 100%! Out of reps or I would have hit ya

Trifle is a layered dessert - super easy to cheat and use pre-made stuff and still end up with something tasty that people like to see at a party - pound cake or lady fingers, pudding, fresh fruit, whipped cream - repeat till you reach the top (usually the size of a cake carrier)

Agreed again! Both points.

Overrated: gourmet mac & cheese with all sorts of extra crap that isn't mac or cheese - just give me the basic stuff

Overrated: Shellfish, including but not limited to lobster. Be they mollusk or crustacean, to me, they're more effort to eat than they're worth if they involve removal of shell, and result in a minimal amount of meat to boot. My landlocked roots may be showing, but I've also always been somewhat repelled by fishy cooking odors.

Underrated: potatoes, prepared any which way one can imagine. Ahhh, the humble tater. Southern-style cornbread, not too sweet.

Especially considering they were first devised as a way to use up slightly stale spongecake.

Have to agree - I LOVE a good trifle.
