Mines matcha - looks nasty

Previously sweet potato fries but they've kinda died out now

Sourdough toast. It tastes ok but every time I've had it, I've been worried about breaking my teeth. It's hard!!!

Not sure why people would pretend to love things they don’t like

but bubble tea and Dubai chocolate both sound vile

Koolandorthegang · 23/05/2025 21:27

Kombucha

I'm dubious about the love of cottage cheese on social media.

I was convinced by Pinterest that I needed to batch make egg cottage cheese cups

Rubbery shite

Same here. I sometimes swap it for granary toast. Also where I am a I can buy sourdough sliced pan. It makes the most devine toast.

Kombucha

Actually do love kombucha, kefir and sourdough bread!

Archaea · 23/05/2025 21:35

Dried lemon slices in drinks instead of fresh.

I was so excited to try Aperol Spritz (I don’t like alcohol but do like a cheeky WKD or Smirnoff ice!). I was so disappointed- It’s bitter!

Dubai chocolate is lovely. My sister gave me some and I was impressed. It was the one with the green inside

Londonrach1 · 23/05/2025 21:35

Sourbread! Awful hard teeth destroying food that tastes awful.

I love sweet potato chips...

RabbitsRock · 23/05/2025 21:36

It’s “ divine” - sorry to be the spelling police but I keep seeing “ devine “ everywhere.

Jane958 · 23/05/2025 21:36

Aperol Spritz is really old news, it has been around for at least 15 years and is vile.
Was never keen on sweet potatoes, which don't fry well as they do not contain enough starch (yes, people, that is why they are praised as low carb).
Matcha tea bis also as old as the hills.
Worryingly, Bubble Tea and Dubai chocolate are available in Germany, which is usually 10 to 15 years behind the rest of the world. Wouldn't touch either with a bargepole.
I do like truffles (the natural fungus sort).

Neweverything25 · 23/05/2025 21:36

Bubble tea, is it still a thing?

Tiddlywinkly · 23/05/2025 21:37

Came here to say matcha!

It’s nice toasted but that’s it

Vegan Cheese

BlueyNeedsToFuckOff · 23/05/2025 21:37

I saw your title and immediately thought matcha! It seems to be everywhere and I don’t get how anyone can drink it. It’s just kind of thick and grassy.

Aperol spritz

Yes, dire! Looks nice though.

Woahtherehoney · 23/05/2025 21:39

I love an Aperol spritz 🤣 my go to in the summer.

coconut water is awful, the weirdest texture and flavour.

Ruthietuthie · 23/05/2025 21:39

My first thought was matcha. Bleurgh. Tastes like liquidized grass-clippings. I was given some very posh matcha powder bought by a friend who had visited Japan. Absolutely foul.
Also not keen on kombucha.

RedToothBrush · 23/05/2025 21:40

Aperol is amazing. I love alcohol free versions.
And kombucha is fab. If you can get it on tap it's even better (yes really. Like in a pub).

Go away with your dislike of sweet potato fries.

I don't do trends. I do what I like.
