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

Proper kimchi is amazing. There's a woman who sells it on our local market, I keep meaning to have a go at making it but cba when hers is so good.

The stuff they sell in the supermarket is vinegary shite, and it's not spicy enough.

Sourdough bread. Salted caramel.

Love sourdough but will at least one restaurant jumping on the bandwagon please realise it needs a bloody steak knife. Don’t serve me zhuzhi toasted sourdough stuff without a weapon to attack it.

Agree on both points. Also love a negroni so just like the bitter.

Matcha to me tastes liquid seaweed. Some things shouldn't be liquid. Seaweed and cinnamon should not be drinkable

Sea Moss

Yes. It's disgusting.

Brioche. Too sweet and too much of a sugar paper taste

Traditional tapas you mean? As served all over Spain

I love negronis!

Caramel
Adding salt to it doesn't make it any better

'Dirty' anything turns my stomach

Ditto 'smashed'

I didn't get 'wine o'clock'
I just get headaches if I drink it

'Street food'
Makes me think of finding food in the street and eating it

The only cottage cheese that’s worth looking at is Longley Farm. All the rest is shit.

Grazing boards, grazing platters - hate them..all the different tastes and textures touching each other - yuck !

Mezcal - tastes like if mould was a drink....🤮

Brioche is like eating a burger in a croissant. Just why?!

I do actually like Oat milk and was buying Oatly barista but as a diabetic I couldn't understand why my blood sugars were all over the place. Then I read the label and realised that there is 35g of sugar in a carton of it.

Oo I LOVE salted caramel

Agree with a PP. Food coming out when it’s ready (I’m looking at you, Wagamama). I hate this. One time my DP was almost finished by the time mine arrived, and it always feels rushed and not relaxed.

I agree with matcha, any time i have tasted it all i get is grass

@MrsClatterbuck which brand is that please ?I heart the texture of toasted sour dough

In defence of the negroni, I think cocktail menus generally very much play to the sweet palate.

The negroni has ensured those of us enjoying more bitter flavours are now parting with our money in equal quantities 😆

Matcha tastes like gardening. Horrid

Is rum and raisin ice cream making a comeback? My grandma used to eat it in the 80s and I would like to try it again.

I think the pistachio trend is overhyped. I've tried the Dubai chocolate, and it was nothing special. I can't believe people will pay £10 for a bar of it. My DD likes pistachio strawberries, but the sauce was too gloopy and sweet for me.

Urgh I bought some to make a cocktail called Ranch Water. I thought the name was ironic. No, it tasted like dirty water

Oh and natural wine, tastes like the smell of bins on a hot day

Avocado. It tastes like dirt. Creamy dirt. I don’t get it.
Also bubble tea - it’s weird and I want a drink, not an “experience”

Love matcha. Love it. Especially matcha ice cream, lattes, and matcha milk in Japanese corner shops (with about a tonne of sugar in I’m sure).
