Question of the Day

What do you find to be the most overrated luxury food item?

I'm not terribly keen on caviar, but only because I don't like very salty food. (Most chips and crackers, and many soups, are way too salty for my taste.) When I've had less salty caviar, I can understand why other people find it tasty.

Probably the best answer I could give is lobster (which I know isn't a luxury food everywhere). It's not that I don't like lobster; I do. But it's not that great. I'd pass up lobster for some nicely done mussels any day of the week and twice on Sundays.
