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

[mumofoneAlonebutokay]

Mines matcha - looks nasty

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

Have you tried the stuff you get from Asian supermarkets? So different to the ones ive had from Asda etc

Edamame 🫛

Oh thank god its not just me! Hate the nasty tough impenetrable stuff. I once bought an artisan loaf of sourdough. My best bread knife couldn't make a dent in the crust. Jokingly, DH got his power saw out. Still took ages. My teeth would have had no chance. In the bin.

Agree a brioche bun for a burger is wrong.

Similarly, I die a little every time I read how someone can't or couldn't breath. RIP the word "breathe". 🪦

I honestly don't understand what the appeal is

I don't mind a grapefruit...

Seeing as words have entered the conversation, trends I hate:

Slaw - it's coleslaw?

The main event - I love eating but it's just food, not a presedential inauguration

Aperol spritz - hate the taste
Bubble tea - frog spawn with a straw

Can't think of any recent trends probably because I am blissfully unaware of them, but I remember the trend for wheatgrass shots in the early 2000s. Used to pick one up occasionally on my way into work and it would completely turn my stomach. Not a clue what Kombucha is but it sounds nice. DD persuaded me to have a passionfruit bubble tea and it was very nice!

Didn’t know pretending to love food was a thing. I just love what I love with food. I guess I must be setting my own trends.

It’s not a particularly recent trend and I’m not especially fussy about food and drink but ……. coconut water 🤢

I’d completely forgotten about wheatgrass shots - they used to be everywhere and I haven’t seen them for sale for years.

Possibly as there are way fewer juice bars now as they’ve all been replaced by bubble tea shops

I totally agree. Absolutely vile.

I’m sure matcha must just be powdered wheat grass, as they smell and taste the same. Matcha just a trendier name!
I also remember bubble tea making its appearance around that time, can’t understand the recent come back, it’s still gross!!

Not a trend but I really don’t get sea salt chocolate - hard pressed to find anything that tastes so disgusting!

Overnight oats. Sloppy cold glop.

Wish that salt wasn't now compulsory with caramel.

The words smash and patty should not be allowed anywhere near food that wants me to eat it.

I love Rishi sweet matcha. My daughter drinks it, so I thought I'd try some. Bloody lovely.
I can't stand bubble tea, though.

I don't pretend to love anything I either love it or hate it

Schnitzel is appearing on menus recently, and not just in Austria. A local restaurant serves it with a fried egg on top along with capers and anchovies.

Biscoff. It's in everything now and I can't stand it.

In Scotland we call it 'claggy' - sticks to the roof of your mouth type stickiness

I love Campari, vermouth, and gin individually. Mixed together it feels like the cocktail was created just for me.

I got some premixed from one of the big supermarket chains and it tasted like paracetamol and tonic.

Well you can't be sorry, otherwise you wouldn't have taken the time to rudely correct a complete stranger.

Ugh hate the stuff. Smell’s worse than the arse of the pig nosing it out.
