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

Oysters - salty snot and caviar - salty bogies.

Completely agree with Matcha and Aperol Spritz, both disgusting. Aperol spritz tastes like cough medicine to me.

I am a porridge obsessive but the thought of cold overnight oats makes me feel sick. Porridge should be hot!

I love sourdough but only the chewier type one. I've had ones that PPs are probably referring to which feel like an ordeal to get through as it's so hard. Not sure how they differ in terms of baking process/ingredients.

Poached eggs too. A few years ago there was this disgusting trend on social media called 'yolk porn' 🙄🙄🙄 which was basically just clips of the yolk oozing out of the poached egg when gently cut into. To me it reminded me of huge spots being squeezed and pus oozing out!

Oh also pornstar martinis. Disgustingly sweet.

I absolutely love a good sweet potato fry and don't care who knows it 😅 Mash even moreso.

Wouldn't give an Aperol to my worst enemy mind.

Doughnuts, the Krispy Kreme kind. I don't understand the appeal at all. Just chewy, greasy, sweet yuckiness to me. Each to their own though!

Yes this is wrong! I'm looking at you Silvers deli in Bramley. Bacon and sausage sarnies don't belong in sweet bread!

Totally agree about sweet potato fries and matcha.

Love an aperol spritz and anything containing campari and have for donkeys but I have a palate that craves bitter not sweet.

Current trend i don't understand is food that is very clearly designed for the gram. Like a 20 quid slice of cake from Well Baked in Leeds and Manchester called the Big Bertha. One look shows the cake icing ratio to be all wrong but look great in pics.

Dubai Chocolate
Bubble Tea
McDonalds Garlic Bread Dippers
Anything Biscoff

Overnight oats are nasty.

Salted caramel- wish it wasn't a flavour for every single dessert now. I don't want salted caramel profiteroles! Just give me normal ones!

This! It is awful.

I wanna try them but I know it would be a one time thing 😄🤢

Schnitzel is very very common in Australia. Made at home and served in all sorts of restaurants.

Mocktails, if they're still a thing? Unpleasantly syrupy and artificial, but also somehow just strange tasting? If I was going to get a sugar fix, I'd have something actually nice like a big cake. Also can't get my head around paying so much for what is essentially sugar, water and chemicals. If you want a "grown-up" drink without the alcohol (something else I don't understand), what's wrong with coffee? Or lime soda with a little umbrella in?? Clearly I am not the target audience!

Biscoff is a new one that's popping up everywhere. And pistachio, which I'm allergic to anyway

I'm convinced that bubble tea places are fronts for money laundering

Sushi - I know I know I’m weird for not liking it but I’m convinced people don’t love it as much as they make out 😂

What is Dubai chocolate?

If you want a grownup cold drink without alcohol, then it’s got to be Guinness Zero. That’s a newish thing which has surely got to be a keeper rather than a mere trend and will hopefully displace catspiss abominations such as Becks Blue and Bud Light.

Tried coconut water & was very disappointed.

Loaded fries. I don't want bits in my chips.

Parmesan. I know heaps use and love it. It’s not the taste, it’s smell.

I like pistachio chocolate, a little chocolate shop near me has been selling it for years.
Love sourdough especially toasted.
But I don’t really follow trends, I’m too old.
Had a strawberry matcha the other day and was really nice.

Do you just mean the yolk is runny, because it’s supposed to be? Or that the white isn’t fully cooked, which is rank? The latter has, thankfully, never been served to me.

Yeah...
But you cannot roast 10kg of meat in air fryer can you?
It is great of you live with small portion eating partner or a toddler.
In amy other case it canmot replace the real thing.

On another note why would you pay someone 300 to put in a new oven.
Don't be silly

Agree my teeth and gums hate sourdough!

You need to add marmite

What?? Sourdough did not originate in California.

That aftertaste. 😫
