Ribs are way better than steak...

Most overrated is probably some gourmet food like caviar. Or really expensive wine/beer/liquor.

Never been that impressed by beef, outside of Argentina.

The joy of chicken is that it's so versatile; of course it's bland by itself, that's why you can basically make it taste of anything you like.

you would pay good money for a big bone and a sliver of meat?

I would say Foie Gras. Popular with snooty crowds, how it's made is horrible, supposedly doesn't taste that great either. Never had it, but that'd be my main vote.

On lobster. Absolutely LOVE it. I ate it 4 of the 6 nights of our honeymoon and it was heaven. Only thing is it's disappointing how much they charge for it. Almost makes me want to move to Maine.

Dude. Dude. The day you'll have foie gras, your life won't be the same.

I have to agree that caviar is overrated though. Though I don't find it completely disgusting, I admit that it sometimes feels like you're chewing tiny testicules. And it's goddam expensive.

Hey, in Russia, we have seledka (sort of like pickled herring, but we make it frommany sorts of fish), which often includes the "milk sack" - basically an organ which stores sperm. And I like it quite a bit. And you think munching on fish eggs is bad...

Not too fond of oysters, caviar or foie gras.

I absolutely love champagne or a decent sparkling wine though, especially with a good Sunday breakfeast or brunch

Do they have horseradish and Tabasco in Belgium?

BURN HIM! BUUUURRRNNNN HIMMMMM!

Foie Gras cannot possibly be overrated, because it is impossible to overrate something that is that good. Foie Gras pate is excellent, but fresh seared Foie Gras itself is almost divine. I'd force feed my own mother if it would make her liver taste that good. That said, Foie Gras is still second best to The Food of the Gods: Sweetbreads.
