Mines matcha - looks nasty Previously sweet potato fries but they've kinda died out now

Username2101 · 23/05/2025 22:21

Biscoff. It's in everything now and I can't stand it.

Schnitzel is appearing on menus recently, and not just in Austria. A local restaurant serves it with a fried egg on top along with capers and anchovies.

Renabrook · 23/05/2025 22:20

I don't pretend to love anything I either love it or hate it

menopausalfart · 23/05/2025 22:20

I love Rishi sweet matcha. My daughter drinks it, so I thought I'd try some. Bloody lovely.
I can't stand bubble tea, though.

DesparatePragmatist · 23/05/2025 22:19

Overnight oats. Sloppy cold glop.

Wish that salt wasn't now compulsory with caramel.

The words smash and patty should not be allowed anywhere near food that wants me to eat it.

RabbitsRock · 23/05/2025 22:19

Not a trend but I really don’t get sea salt chocolate - hard pressed to find anything that tastes so disgusting!

Can't think of any recent trends probably because I am blissfully unaware of them, but I remember the trend for wheatgrass shots in the early 2000s. Used to pick one up occasionally on my way into work and it would completely turn my stomach. Not a clue what Kombucha is but it sounds nice. DD persuaded me to have a passionfruit bubble tea and it was very nice!

I’m sure matcha must just be powdered wheat grass, as they smell and taste the same. Matcha just a trendier name!
I also remember bubble tea making its appearance around that time, can’t understand the recent come back, it’s still gross!!

Aperol spritz

I totally agree. Absolutely vile.

I’d completely forgotten about wheatgrass shots - they used to be everywhere and I haven’t seen them for sale for years.

Possibly as there are way fewer juice bars now as they’ve all been replaced by bubble tea shops

TheDogsMother · 23/05/2025 22:15

It’s not a particularly recent trend and I’m not especially fussy about food and drink but ……. coconut water 🤢

Didn’t know pretending to love food was a thing. I just love what I love with food. I guess I must be setting my own trends.

Pebbles16 · 23/05/2025 22:13

Aperol spritz - hate the taste
Bubble tea - frog spawn with a straw

donaldtrumponlyhasonedancemove · 23/05/2025 22:12

Seeing as words have entered the conversation, trends I hate:

Slaw - it's coleslaw?

The main event - I love eating but it's just food, not a presedential inauguration

ScrambledSmegs · 23/05/2025 21:53

Now I was coming on to say Aperol is far too sweet for me and I love a Campari spritz or a Negroni. I adore bitter foods though, my favourite fruit is grapefruit.

Cottage cheese - I just can't. I know loads of people rave about it at the moment but it looks like baby sick.

I don't mind a grapefruit...

XWKD · 23/05/2025 22:02

I love negronis!

I honestly don't understand what the appeal is

It’s “ divine” - sorry to be the spelling police but I keep seeing “ devine “ everywhere.

Similarly, I die a little every time I read how someone can't or couldn't breath. RIP the word "breathe". 🪦

ReturnoftheBink · 23/05/2025 22:09

Agree a brioche bun for a burger is wrong.

thenightsky · 23/05/2025 22:09

Squirrelblanket · 23/05/2025 21:25

Sourdough toast. It tastes ok but every time I've had it, I've been worried about breaking my teeth. It's hard!!!

Oh thank god its not just me! Hate the nasty tough impenetrable stuff. I once bought an artisan loaf of sourdough. My best bread knife couldn't make a dent in the crust. Jokingly, DH got his power saw out. Still took ages. My teeth would have had no chance. In the bin.

Bernadinetta · 23/05/2025 22:09

Edamame 🫛

Dontknowwhattocall13893 · 23/05/2025 21:56

Yes I just can't like it and I feel like I should lol. Like I love fermented things, saurkraut, kombucha, sourdough.. but I just can't like kimchi

Show quote history

Have you tried the stuff you get from Asian supermarkets? So different to the ones ive had from Asda etc

ReturnoftheBink · 23/05/2025 22:08

Love matcha. Love it. Especially matcha ice cream, lattes, and matcha milk in Japanese corner shops (with about a tonne of sugar in I’m sure).

ToffeePennie · 23/05/2025 22:08

Avocado. It tastes like dirt. Creamy dirt. I don’t get it.
Also bubble tea - it’s weird and I want a drink, not an “experience”

Lastqueenofscotland2 · 23/05/2025 22:07

Oh and natural wine, tastes like the smell of bins on a hot day

HorrorFan81 · 23/05/2025 22:06

Itisallabitvague · 23/05/2025 22:03

Mezcal - tastes like if mould was a drink....🤮

Urgh I bought some to make a cocktail called Ranch Water. I thought the name was ironic. No, it tasted like dirty water
