And this years culinary cliches go to....

[superstarheartbreaker]

Salted Caramel and pulled pork.

Delicious but everywhere.

Anything to add?

Anything pan fried

Scallops

Sous vide. If you are a Masterchef Professional. With foams and gels.

Heritage fucking carrots.

Street food of any genre and craft beer.

Artisan bollocks. If I see another artisan sausage roll I will punch it to death.

pan fried... where else would you fry food if not in a pan? I don't get it

Sun blazed tomatoes. The even more upmarket version of sun dried tomatoes.

Restaurant serving only cereal. At £3 a bowl
Artisan bakeries - even our local Tesco has one (or so it claims)

Gourmet popcorn

ahahahha at Sun Blazed. We are all laughing our heads off at that one.

DS says you cannot have salt & vinegar crisps anymore... they must be sea salt and malt or balsamic wankery.

Pomegranate

caramel wafers softening on top of your artisan coffee
Tunnocks teacakes

coconut water

Paleo everything

And... food served on slates or in buckets or anywhere but on plates.

And salted caramel. Delicious, but it's bloody everywhere.

Culinary cocktails, i.e., those made with savoury ingredients or Christmassy flavours such as mince pie syrup. Please let it be a fad.

pan fried... where else would you fry food if not in a pan? I don't get it

In a deep fat fryer I think.

Christmas themed coffees. Toffee Lattes etc. Everywhere.

Pulled pork. Fuck offfff. Most the time it's not even nice.

Oh and brioche buns. I like them, I really do, but they are the biggest cliche. Just give me a burger and shut up.

Drinks served in JAM JARS FFS.
And tied around with butchers twine.

Oh god coconut water....eurgh. Only good when mixed with a hefty measure of vodka.

and not just jam jars ChippyMinton Jam jars with fucking handles, it never was a jam jar, it's a mug made to look like a jam jar, it's shit to drink out of it, crap to hold and it just wanky bollocks. Just use a mug or a glass.

Tunnocks tea Cakes? They have been around for years, delicious but hardly pretentious.
