Looks good but tastes bad

Although I have plenty of other examples of food that looks good yet tastes bad, I have to second your assessment markk about Boston Market chicken. Why does it tastes so bad? Or perhaps it is a discernible lack of taste because it's seasoned to not offend (or maybe seasoned to offend)? The one thing I know for sure about the stuff but could never wrap my brain around was how can a chicken be cooked on a rotisserie AND come out tasting soggy everytime!?

I've got to lay down a challenge to you Marky Marc and that is to come to the Washington, DC area and find ONE tasty apricot. I have tried in vain for years and I have yet to have one that didn't taste mushy, dry and cottony.

Inside me there is a thin woman screaming to get out, but I can usually keep the Bitch quiet: with CHOCOLATE!!!

Oops, I just saw your post. Yes, they are dreadful IMHO, and the most evil part of it all is that they always look such perfect, sunny little blemish-free orbs, so inviting, then you take a bite and YUCK! Makes me wonder why vendors even bother selling them here. What makes up for it is that I can always find a tasty apple here year round.

Welcome to the DC area; have fun. :smile:

Once, in a fit of madness, I ordered a wedge of Raspberry Cream Cake in a Reno casino. It was none of the above. Yuck!

But it was pretty to look at.
