To ask you what food/drink trend people are pretending to love?

Mines matcha - looks nasty

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

Faux sourdough. Real sourdough only contains flour, water, salt and starter, made from flour and water. Look at the ingredients list here:

Aperol Spritz. They don't taste that bad, but they're soooooo expensive for what essentially seems to be a glass filled with ice and a little bit of orange food colouring.

Matcha. Tastes like grass

Iceland is now the only place I can find burger buns - the ones with sesame seeds. They're small but perfect to have two small burgers, rather than one stupid big monster of a burger that's 10 inches high. Brioche is an abomination.

Morrisons do seeded normal burger buns too

Matcha. What even is it?

@ThatsNotMyTeen thanks, my local Morrisons has recently closed. It was a good shop

Next nearest exits onto a horrendous spaghetti of roads and dual carriageways. It can take an hour at Christmas to leave the car park.

M&s too

green tea.

I have had a quarrel with Graze ever since it was only an online subscription service. You could choose on their website to "ban" things from the boxes they sent so you didn't get stuff you didn't like. I went through the ticklist and check boxed the do not sends and the website said that I had to add some back to make sure my boxes were healthy! When I unsubscibed they asked why so I said that they were not the food police and if they wouldn't sell me what I wanted then why would I subscribe? Never got an snswer......

Vile stuff.

I agree, except for if it is shredded, stalks removed and gently turned in butter until it wilts, add loads of black pepper and a swill of cream. Then its heaven.

Wow! So many things on this thread that i absolutely adore - aperol spritz, though I prefer campari. A Negroni is my favourite cocktail. Olives of any description particularly if marinaded with garlic & herbs, nuts, Avocado on toast with soft poached egg & chilli flakes 😋, brioche buns for burgers & hotdogs, cronuts, doughnuts

I adore cake buy I'm not keen on the overdecorated cupcakes & I hate matcha

That sounds absolutely vile!

Wow I didn’t know they did that, they won’t keep customers by being controlling.

Aperol is banned in Belarus. They get it.

It’s the butter and cream that’s delicious, rather than the kale.

yup, you could cook a cardboard box in butter, black pepper and cream and people would love it

I don't know if they still do, I never bothered after that.

I disagree. I think Biscoff on its own with a coffee is enough. They're sweet enough already. Biscoff in croissant is an abomination.

I like pistachio on its own and with cardamon cake, but not in tiramisu, and there's no way I'm paying £10 for Dubai chocolate.

Pistachio has become more popular recently though. Pistachio spread in a jar never used to be a thing.

The thread title is a bit strange though.

A couple of previous posters reminded me of another. If you're adding turmeric (whether you pronounce it phonetically or as "tumour-ick") to your porridge, puddings and hot milky drinks and declaring it "omnomnomnomNOM" I'm quietly filing you under "pretending". Matcha, I'm giving the benefit of the doubt although I don't like it myself.

(I do like bubble tea, though. Just occasionally, for the novelty.)

nooooo, I have it with everything. Sometimes in a sandwich with mayo when I can't be bothered making a proper lunch!

Oh, I love a bit of homemade kimchi! Add it to my ramen, egg fried rice, scrambled eggs and even cheese on toast!

Bone broth. Boak.

I love avocado seasoned with salt and Pepper and a dash of olive oil served with poached eggs on sour bread
