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

Between us, someone has avocado most days. I love it!

I hate any runny white too 🤢 but I like runny yolk. We have hens so the eggs are very fresh so it's perfectly safe.

I don't like matcha. Can't stand blue cheese.

But I can't really talk because I genuinely love bubble tea (especially lychee flavour) and Dubai chocolate.

I freaking love dipping Fritos Scoops into cottage cheese.
I don’t know anything about the social media stuff, though.
This has been a long-time thing for me, started my mum.

I had an elderly friend, he must’ve been close to 90 - had some olive trees.
He’d get his ladder out and climb up and pick the olives and then give them their traditional lye and salt baths, etc, and jar them.
I was fortunate enough to be gifted a big jar every year.
Heaven on earth. Delicious.

Vodka in pasta needs to fuck right off.

Green tea

Skinny fries

Food served on planks of wood

'also salad' 🤢

^

🤣

doubt it they have been around more than 5 years already. I had one long before covid and literally kept my husband fed and alive whilst i was in lockdown down in another country

we are a family of 5 with a man that doesn’t have full sensor and 2 big teens. I’ve never ever felt the need or occasion to roast 10kg of meat..like wtf.
i can fit a large chicken in my air fryer. the only time i switch my oven on is to cook a big lasagne, a roast dinner or any kind of baking.

rum and raisin been my favourite flavour since the 90s. i thought the other day about gino ginelli ice cream…. anyone remember frutti tutti?

i’ve also eaten corrage cheese since the 80s. i grew up having to eat it as mom and aunties were always on diets and eating it on crisp breads.

i can’t stand avacado -tastes like a mix between raw egg and soap.
hate hate hate bubble tea and chia seeds i really don’t want to say what the texture is like. olives are disgusting and given i live majority of time in middle east they are everywhere.

don’t like anything korean and can’t stand wagamama, the curry or whatever it is they sell tastes like what my mom would cook in the 80s- no flavour at all.

can’t stand oreo or biscoff

dubai chocolate is ok but couldn’t eat more than a bite.

i don’t mind sushi but had to be salmon or prawn

yorkshire pudding wraps are just a mess

oysters taste like a gulp of sea water

cauliflower rice, cauliflower pizza base anything cauliflower tastes like fart and courgette spaghetti is horrendous.

Not talking about traditional tapas ‘as served all over Spain’ 😂

talking about £11 plates of beetroot that would feed a mouse, as served with 125ml of orange wine in banging loud restaurants all over big cities in the UK

Anything served on a wooden board. The most unhygienic material on earth you could use to serve food to multiple customers over and over again....

Beetroot seems to get into everything and ruin it these days - awful stuff. I do, however, love sweet potato fries and brioche buns.

Ha ha this thread is so funny with people saying stuff like “I don’t follow trends”, “Well I happen to like X/Y/Z” (the implication being- my palate must be sooo much more sophisticated), “I’ve mostly eaten sourdough in California” (not strictly true it originated there!), “I don’t keep up with what’s popular on social media”.

One of the most “mumsnet” things I’ve read… “mostly eaten sourdough in California where it originated” 😂😂

My oven takes about 25-30mins to heat up while the air fryer is (almost) instantly hot so saves me a lot of time.

Your not weird it's mostly gross

Advocado on toast
aperol
bubble tea (all liquids with bits in bleugh)
kimchi
green tea
kombucha
coconut water
protein yoghurts (goop)
cold coffees
cottage cheese
pup cups (not good for dogs at all as the majority of dogs are actually lactose intolerant)

Hate food being served as it’s ready. I can’t settle. And I like trying different things together- not one at a time.

i also miss “just yogurt “. Not fat free, not high protein, not special bacteria- just a 4/6 pack of ski fruit flavours.

Yes!
Very few foodie things I dislike but even the feint smell of this turns me off. I have eaten it to try and 'get it' but no. The smell...

Matcha, aperol spritz, dubai chocolate

Dragonfruit.
They’re overpriced and taste of nothing. But have become ‘trendy’.

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).

They have a revoltingly slimy texture when mashed too.

Ha ha this thread is so funny with people saying stuff like “I don’t follow trends”

But is anyone actually eating and pretending to like things they don't because it's 'on trend'?

Surely people become aware of something (maybe because of a trend) and try it. If they like it, they continue eating it and if they don't, they don't.

I don't believe anyone is actually forcing themselves to eat food they don't like so people must just like things they've tried. Surely...

Aperol Spritz is really old news, it has been around for at least 15 years

It’s been around for over a century. People have been drinking it in Italy since about 1920.

I find it quite weird that someone would think that, just because they personally don’t like something, everyone else must be lying about liking it.
