What food trends can't you stand?

[LennyCrabbitz]

I've just seen a "butter board" on another thread and feel a bit sick? Who thought smashing butter all over a bit of wood might be appetising? 🤢

Also hate boba tea. Vile little bubbles of pus. Yuk

I like the concept of small plates but I never seem to order things that make a cohesive meal when they arrive. Last time I tried it I ended up with 3 plates of really salty food - ham, tuna (Cured. Was not expecting that) and anchovies. Not my best lunch.

Food served on wooden boards.

Food on a slate or wooden board.

Food trends in general, I think.

Grazing tables. No thank you.

I would likely lick the butter clean off that board, all common like
Bring me the ginger wensleydale!

I generally hate food trends. And trends.

Agreed! Unhygienic IMO.

Foamy sauce. Looks like cat sick on the plate. Ugh.

I don't really get smash burgers. Why not just flatten the burger before you cook it?

What's a smash burger?

Haha, love your little plate lunch @AchillesElbow

Avocado toast.

Actually, anything with Avocado

When things are described at ‘Dirty,’ like ‘Dirty Fries’ it puts me right off. Also anything on a slate or chopping board, it’s really impractical and never seems properly clean.

Grazing tables, thankfully I have never encountered one in real life.

Rainbow cakes or any with copious amounts of food colouring in the sponge.

Those cakes piled high with biscuits.

Not a food but matcha tea / coffee. Pretty sure 95% of those drinking it can’t stand it either

Had to Google butter board. That's just rank.

Salted caramel 🤮 Everyone seems to love it except me, so looks like it's here to stay. Salt belongs on chips, not on my bloody dessert and what really winds me up is you don't even get the option of normal caramel 😡

@Stressybetty gross isn't it.

Ugh, grazing boards are vile too.

Agreed @Bonjovispjs

Glad it's not just me 😊

“Mac ‘n cheese”
(or even ‘macaroni and cheese’.)

No, it’s “macaroni cheese”, there’s no ‘and’ in it.

And when did this become the latest food trend? I see it everywhere now.

Disclaimer, I actually like macaroni cheese.

@Bonjovispyjamas yes!

Canned fish night - I blame tiktok 🤢

Not exactly a food trend, but restaurants where the waiting staff ask ‘Have you eaten with us before?’ and then proceed to explain the Concept at tremendous length, which basically boils down to the menu being comprised of food items which you can order in order to satisfy hunger.
Phew, glad to get that sorted.

Truffle oil, if you buy it you deserve to get ripped off.

Avocado toast, cold green mush on luke warm now soggy toast 🤢

Massive foods, as in overly sized gargantuan servings of 8 burger patties and 12 onion rings oozing with plastic cheese, that require you to be some sort of human - snake hybrid able to dislocate your jaw to get a bite.

These odd flavours of mayonnaise, not herby or lemon but bacon and other types of meaty flavoured ones, no.
