What food trends are you tired of?

[IHateWasps]

In my case it's sourdough. I hate sourdough bread and while the pizzas are generally ok, I still prefer regular pizza dough but so many places seem to be switching to sourdough.

Also, putting biscuits on top of other sweet things. What's wrong with just a plain brownie? Sticking a Party ring on top doesn't improve it.

I thought I was the only one who doesn't like sourdough. It's particularly awful toasted. It's becoming impossible to get toast or sandwiches made with white bread grrrr

Sticky toffee pudding, Eton Mess or Lemon Posset on a dessert menu. Enough now!

? Chorizo is usually pork!

Who ever said Tapas ...it's been around a lot longer than you...is not a fad and is here to stay. I live in Spain and love Tapas

you can pass all the salted caramel and sourdough over to me <yum> but I will gladly throw the brioche burger buns into the bin - who on earth wants sweet bread with a burger? 🤢

Brioche
Coriander (tastes vile and is lazily sprinkled on so much)
Vegetarian options always involving jackfruit or cauliflower

Kimchi, kefir, kombucha, kale, and everything else beginning with K that isn't a Kitkat.
Flavoured gin and vodka.
Huel and its imitators.

This. Hate it.

Nachos in italian restaurants as their sharing platter. I want proper antipasti

Vegetarian dishes dressed up to look like meat - e.g. shredded 'duck' spring rolls, 'turkey' roast, 'chicken' escalopes, even 'bacon'. Just why???

Gravy.

Ooh and the protein trend. Protein snickers?! Trying to make chocolate and puddings seem ‘healthy’.

Those dried fruit 'hit' pouches for kids. Toothache inducing, too sweet and yacky. Just eat an apple.

I was at one of those "value" US hotel chains for work last week, the kind that include a "really good hot breakfast" in the price of the room. There were loads of bready, meaty, eggy, and grainy options, but the only fresh fruit/vegetable component was a big mixed bowl of bananas, red Delicious apples, and tangerines. For three days I dutifully sliced a whole banana into my granola and 2% milk and took a tangerine "to go". Day four: NO fruit in the bowl! It was completely filled with those single-serving pouches of sweetened mixed dried fruit.

Pub/restaurant menus that give the price as 14,5 rather than £14.50. It’s still fucking expensive, you’re not tricking me into thinking I’m not spending real money omitting the £ sign.

In other dystopian North American news (Canadian edition): JUST NOT PUTTING THE PRICE ON THE MENU AT ALL. Yes, there's a tradition of that in high end restaurants (if you have to ask you can't afford it) but this was at places like Starbucks, McDonald's, Tim Horton's, Costa, etc. If you want to know the price, apparently, you can look it up on line - but be sure to enter your postal code 'cos the prices are completely inconsistent.

Butter boards are so gross! For anyone who wants to know, this is a good disgusting introduction: https://www.chicaandjo.com/10-butter-board-ideas/.

Totally agree!

Everything Mexican.
Chorizo in every dish even fish stew or a delicate risotto.
Chilli in every thing, there shouldn't be chilli in Ardennes pâté.

Salted caramel, so many ruined desserts.

Brioche buns with burgers, bloody awful.

I want proper cakes back. Proper sponge made with eggs and butter, filled with proper cream and icing. At my local cafe they’re nearly all gluten free or vegan now, and they’re just not as good. Heavy, oily and overly sweet. Yuck.

All of them. Food isn't a trend. Just eat what you enjoy

Agree with several of these!
I'm vegetarian and eat a lot of vegan meals but want a choice when I'm out but please no parmesan or any other non veggie cheese on my dinner.
Brioche burger buns, love the rolls with the chocolate chips in but I want normal bread with my veggie burger.
Biscoff. Disgusting, that spread, why? Yuk.
Cauliflower wings. Cauliflowers don't have wings.

Protein enhanced everything, the kitchen at work is full of protein yogurts, drinks, crisps, cereals, even porridge.

Salted caramel everything. They should stop stocking it for at least 5yrs.

Whipping cream and marshmallow on hot chocolate. What happened to a plain old steaming mug of HC?!

The sugary/fondant Icing on cakes. Unnecessary. Always ends up in the bin. Whipping cream on cake is fine though.

Oh and sugar on a lemon drizzle cake. Ruins it.

I've just come back from Spain looove Tapas. You get to try everything.

Presenting an example of a butter board….

I would eat everything on that menu!

anything pulled - pulled pork etc.
10 years ago I’d never heard of it.

Certainly an air of “none of that foreign muck” on this thread.
