And this years culinary cliches go to....

[superstarheartbreaker]

Salted Caramel and pulled pork.

Delicious but everywhere.

Anything to add?

We quote Bernard Black (Black Books episode where he goes to the cinema). In a bad Dylan Moran impersonation.

Is it magic (insert foodstuff here)? Does it give you some kind if dizzying high?'

"Handbaked" - fuck off, fuck off, fuck off.

Not strictly culinary but poncy delis with old fashioned bikes in the window/outside/as signs - piss right off, now...

I am just back from a pub lunch. On the menu was 'deconstructed fish pie' . I asked what the pie of the day was 'turkey and tarragon' wtaf ?

Not read all of them as I have the concentration of a gnat but....

Madagascan vanilla bean flavoured cake.It's fucking normal sponge

and if I hear another person go on about clean eating I may have to kill them.

Noooo don't say kale, I bloody love the stuff and have always eaten it.
I didn't even realise it wasn't fashionable, then was, now nearly isn't! I just bought it for the roast!

One final thing - it's been going on for ages and I Disapprove. Chuffing Cupcakes. Not good old fairy cakes, but tiny disks of garishly coloured dry sponge, with inch thick slabs of nauseating claggy icing on top. Some of even has glitter in it FFS.
While I'm on the subject, call me puritanical, but cake should be egg+sugar+butter+flour NOT half a pint of oil with dry stuff roughly folded into it. It's just not right.

Cauldron chic
Frogs etc served in mini personal cast iron cauldrons replacing the now ubiquitous mason jars

I can't help but hate these multiple bird roast things. They're everywhere and they're shite.

I have just received a BBC food magazine.

Some arse talking about palaeo food being the stuff we ate 'millions of years ago'. Now evolution aside, am guessing that willbe worms, slugs other available bugs and maybe some berries if you're lucky.

Kale is all over it. I hate kale.

We've not BEEN here millions of years (as this species / genus).

Sorry - bloody phone sent too soon. So, I'm guessing he means plankton / krill etc?

Exactly. Utter arse of a diet.

Wasn't the life expectancy about 22 then as well?

Wasn't this supposed to be the year of the gourmet marshmallow? We live oop North so it's quite possible this passed us by. We're only just got over eating Dalepak rib steaks and findus crispy pancakes

Macaroons. Fuck you.

And as for macarons.... you can do one too.

Aw yeah! Neon orange crispy pancakes with thermo-nuclear hot filling.

So, I'm guessing he means plankton / krill etc? - I bet that came with a foam jus!

Gnome. And probably some bloody kale!
