To be sick of pulled pork?

[IsChippyMintonExDirectory]

Everytime I blimmin go to a restaurant or cafe these days everything is pulled effing pork. Pulled pork sandwiches, wrap, flatbread, pizza - even saw pulled pork on top of chips today and so expensive for what is essentially offal, no?

Anyone care to join me in my pulled pork grump? (and yes I know I can order something else) just think it's over rated

I blame Jamie Oliver for the wooden boards instead of plates lark.

don't fuckin eat it then!!

YY to lack of proper plates. Or even worse - skillets, where the food sizzles for 30 seconds or so when it arrives. I'm so not impressed

I bet who ever is doing the washing up isn't impressed either. I suppose it is giving someone a job.

ooh yes let's plan our early 21C theme buffet now:

pulled pork
savoury foods served in brioche (wtf? WHY? vom)
Cinnamon in everything
drinks in jars
mayonnaise, or flavoured mayonnaise, squiggled on everything out of a squirty bottle (like baby diarrhoea)

... what else?

I hope you are not coming to my house for lunch tomorrow, OP!

vezzie

Fajitas
Goats cheese everything
Piri piri chicken
Salted caramel
Hot dogs that have random meats like wild boar as the dog part

Oh yes, goats cheese everything, often with ridiculously sugared caramelised onions

21C buffet

Pulled pork
Cinnamon garnish
drinks in jam jars
goats cheese
salted caramel
piri piri chicken

baby salad leaves
afternoon tea

Also on the buffet:

Cupcakes with mountains of piped-on coloured frosting on top, like a glittery dog turd. The cake to icing ratio is roughly 20:80

Peanut butter everything.

Jus.

'Gourmet' burgers made up of odd flavour combinations. Chorizo and mango burger, anyone?

Food that's infused with stuff.

YY to gourmet burgers - blue cheese and pork

Also - halloumi. I'm not veggie but prefer vegetarian food to meat and bloody halloumi seems to be everywhere these days.

Also, quinoa

Tea-smoked things.
mis matched vintage china
all set up to look good on instagram

vezzie I recently ate somewhere where they used china tea cups as ramekins for puddings. Pretentious twats.

Sweet chilli.

Weird soups - parsnip and apple, broccoli and dill, twelve bean.

Street food. DH is bloody obsessed with street food, usually sold from a very posh looking catering van in teeny tiny portions that cost around £5-£8 a pop and taste like shit.

Wild mushrooms

Oh and 'a twist on an old classic' which is always a perfectly good dish like spag bol or shepherds pie or chilli con carne totally ruined with weird ingredients by some idiot in chefs whites who thinks he's the next Heston.

I'm annoyed because I've been making pulled pork for years and it was quite exotic when I started (had to google recipes and only found US ones) and now everyone's onto it!

Yep. Pulled pork is the new thing. It's everywhere. Lovely, but tiresome after all while I agree. It's funny how these things go in faddy cycles innit?

This reminds me of the "pesto is the quiche of the eighties" bit in "when Harry met Sally". That film has a relevant quote for just about every life moment or conversation.

Agree pulled pork is overdone. Along with chorizo. And restaurants flogging 'heritage beets'.

Does it mean that vol-au-vents will one day make a comeback? Probably infused with parmesan or something equally pretentious

Deconstructed, gourmet vol-au-vents containing locally sourced, hand reared pulled pork infused with a chorizo and salted caramel jus.

beetroots can fuck right off. they have always been vile and now they are everywhere, they ruin everything, you only have to think of a beetroot and whatever you are eating goes pink and rank

How will they deconstruct the vol-au-vents?

I told the children one night I had produced a deconstructed dinner when it went wrong, they looked at me like this I looked at them like this

I hate pork. It makes me sick -if I smell it cooking I puke... If I am served it, i puke.

Hate, hate hate the idea of it!

Revolting!

My next NN is so gonna be BeetrootsCanFuckRightOff
