Food that looks good but taste bad/modiocre.

yeah macarons actually. I thought those were alternate spellings. Macaroons do look good though from the Google images. I imagine they are not as heavy on the egg taste?
Bagel bites
Wow tiny bite sized pizzas! That sounds amazing!
*Takes a bite*
I've never been so disappointed in my life
These are a pain to cook perfectly. They're either ice cold in the middle or nucular volcano.
splitting hairs. their difference is in form first and foremost. they're sold right next to each other, made mostly of the same ingredients, and fulfill identical purposes.
Mochi and Ice Cream Mochi. The ice cream variation might as well taste like milky water leaning more to the water side of things.

Except they are not the same size and has less rice compared to the topping --- it's literally sushi.

Nah, mochi is delicious
I literally made the "Confused Christian Bale" gif expression when I read this.
Seriously. It'd be like writing "sandwiches" as a response. There are a billion fucking types that cover a spectrum of quality.
This is it for me, but with cocktails. I think cocktails look tasty as fuck, but in order for it to be a cocktail, it needs to have a decent amount of alcohol. And I hate the taste of alcohol and it has never grown on me despite years of trying it sporadically. I essentially think cocktails look great because they look like fancy juice to me, and I love juice.
The trick with fish and chips is to get anything but fish. Beer battered sausage is always my go to.
lol are you serious? you want to talk about size and then bring sushi into this? sushi not the same size as an onigiri at all much less a fucking maki and completely different ingredients what are you even on about.
i will grant you that a plain rice onigiri would be bland as fuck but I've never actually had one even homemade
This one I agree with, and I have tried many many times. I'm just not about the sticky rice outside.Mochi and Ice Cream Mochi. The ice cream variation might as well taste like milky water leaning more to the water side of things.
.....
Pretty obvious I was talking about maki in that post.
sushi and maki are nothing alike. like what are you talking about?
like pm if you want
edit: no wait, got it. like the salmon or tuna or negitoro maki. sure... but those aren't the most accessible maki at all. day to day maki is natto and chicken and all the shit that normally goes into onigiri with probably about the same amount of rice

i edited above but i can't remember the last time i bought a tuna mayo sushi and that's a common as hell maki and onigiri. you want to dictionary me I'll walk to the store and start taking pictures
What the hell, OP? Fish and chips is an amazing dish. You're going to have to tell us where you got yours from. I'm going to guess you got a low quality fish and chips based on your description.
lol, I agree. The tiny crappy mini cupcakes from grocery stores are my favourites xD
How dare you!?!Red "Delicious" apples
Dragon fruit is the correct answer.
Tangential, but do you have a recipe for this? I'd love to try it!
I absolutely love cold stone. The texture is sublime.Cold stone ice-cream. I sometimes get one due the difficulty of finding cheesecake flavour elsewhere. But like Hershey's milk chocolate, all you are left with are regrets after a few spoons.
Difficult to make well. Most of the ones that seem to be an afterthought snack at coffee shops are rather bland.
Tres Leches.
It's cake, how can you go wrong?
Well, you can go wrong by being a soggy piece of shit.

What the fuck OP, that looks hideous lol.
On topic: Japanese style jiggly cheese cake is not bad, but it's just simply not as good as New York style. It looks great, and the first time my wife got it right when she made it, we were extremely amused by the texture and the, well, the jiggliness of it. There's just something very cute about it. That being said, it just doesn't satisfy like New York cheesecake does, doesn't even come close, and it takes FAR more work to prepare; just not worth it.

Trust me, this shit hits close to home for me too. One of my best friend's mom is a baker who makes tres leches all the goddamn time. All of her other foods and desserts are delicious, but I always have to force myself to eat this goddamn soggy mess of a cake homunculus.
Is she Mexican/using a traditional Mexican recipe because the only thing I can think of is using the wrong kinds of milk or using too much of it. Which yes can ruin it, it can become this too moist crumbly mess to weird soup cake. So in this way it's a pretty easy cake to ruin.
Dudeee, come to Houston one day, there are so many places that make amazing Tres Leches. One place even has a "cinco" leches.Tres Leches.

Nope. Tres leches cake is the best, have it chilled and its even better.
Cupcakes look great in the shop window but its usally just a plain ass bun with icing thats way too sweet
Those huge hot chocalate drinks that all the coffee shops make are the same with the cream, chocalate, marshmallows and all on top are the same. Nice for maybe one sip but gets sickening after that.

Great first post. I'm sure everything on Nailes It! (Netflix) tastes terrible
