I have always heard of overhyped clubs, overhyped movies and series but never did I think I will hear about overhyped foods.

Well in my food vocabulary book, there is nothing like the 'overhyped' word because to me everything goes.

We all tend to reward or treat our bodies with some good and expensive food once in a while - most of these times we try out new foods or that one food we have been craving for ages.

However, according to a poll we ran on our socials, it seems that some of these foods we love dearly are just overhyped based on different Kenyan taste buds.

We asked Kenyans to name foods that don't really much their hype and we were shocked to learn that not so many people love Pizza, matoke or even Sushi. 

Yimbo girl: Matoke

David Nzivo: Kebab

John Mwangi: Matokee

Ndetii: Shawarma
