I'd drink all of those anon.

I tried a cruffin (crossiant in a muffin shape) today. Honestly it was terrible even with a fuck ton of nutella filling. Fuck this cronut and crossaint cross fad.

the only thing that legitimately makes me mad is the stupid "hurr durr bacon goes on everything" shit
literal meme food

>>6183989
I had a pretzel croissant a while ago, from the whole pretzelbread trend. I didn't hate it, but it was a pretty crappy hybrid.

>>6184005
My dad got really big into the bacon fad and now he won't stop ruining everything he barbecues by wrapping it in bacon

>>6183931
When I was young and fat I made myself chocolate chip cookie milkshakes. Two cookies, icecream, milk and a banana or strawberries. Those were awesome... the crushed chips float to the bottom and you'd scoop them up with a spoon.

I wish I was still fat.

>>6183931
>Coffee Flavour Milkshake
DISGUSTING

I get what OP is saying honestly. Something about baked goods and peanut butter in a milkshake sounds disgusting to me too. Pretzel is even worse.

Wouldn't that just be a shaken ice coffee? Ice coffee is the bomb fuck you

>>6183931
I found out how to make an amazing peanut butter milkshake

Milk, Vanilla icecream, Peanut butter, Cream cheese frosting, and *add whatever fruit you want here or leave blank*

Best shit ever but so fat.

>>6183931
why is it served in a fucking jar and not in a glass?

>>6184721
Mason Jars are the "in" thing right now.

>>6184721

It's a style thing. Drinking out of mason jars is a common Midwestern-americana sort of image. It probably dates back to the depression era where people were dependent on a lot of home preservation of food and therefore had plenty of mason jars around, so why buy glasses when you can drink out of the jar just as easily?

Restaurants serve things in those jars when they want to go for a certain image. Sort of like how BBQ joints or steakhouses sometimes have old farm shit on the walls.

>>6184662
Lol /k/ makes a milkshake

>>6184717
that turns me on so much

>>6184726
>>6184730
I commend you for explaining it in that level of detail but I'm still having trouble wrapping my head around why the fuck anyone would want to drink or eat out of a jar. People will eat up any fucking trend that comes along, it seems.

All of those look beyond retarded and disgusting. Not to mention probably way too sweet.

>>6184755
Mason Jars kind of look cool. And to be honest, this isn't really that much of a new thing, people from the South would drink lemonade and iced tea from mason jars.

>>6184755
>why the fuck anyone would want to drink or eat out of a jar

I'm not sure I understand what the problem is here. What's wrong with drinking out of a jar? Why wouldn't you do it? I mean, it's just a glass container of a given size. Sure, I agree, there's no reason to go out of your way to do so, but if the jars are around, why not? What's the problem?

>>People will eat up any fucking trend that comes along, it seems.

Well, er...yes. Specific themes, decor, or styles at restaurants is nothing new bro. This is no different than a seafood place having fishing nets on the walls, or a 1950's style Diner decked out in chrome and neon serving milkshakes like pic related. It's just another "theme". In this case, "country home style"

>>6184764

They DO look cools, it's just that Tumblr and Instagram girls want to post pics of themselves, wearing checkered button-up shirts, holding a mason jar so it's like, totally rustic and back to the roots, tehee.

>>6184804
I honestly wasn't aware it was a southern thing. I just thought it was people looking for a new quirky way to consume their shit. If it's inspired by depression-era tendencies then I guess that's fair enough, but I still think it's stupid to drink out of a jar when there are special containers made specifically to be drunk out of.

>>6184823

I prefer to drink out of quart-size mason jars rather than glasses because they hold more volume (fewer trips to get up and get a refill), and they are also more stable and less likely to knock over due to the large-diameter base compared to a normal cup or glass.

>>6183962

Not really a trend. Hot roast beef sandwich has been around for a long time.

I bet they listen to Mumford and Sons.

In relation to mason jars, I don't know how I feel about those cookie/other food kits that people layer in a jar. I' m sure that they make nice gifts, but at the same time, something feels so off about it. Eh, maybe it's just me. I'm curious if anyone had gotten one over the holidays.

>>6184823
i once went to a bowling joint where you drank out of mason jars with little glass handles welded on

>>6185275
>glass
>welded
I dont think so, Tim

>>6185284

What makes you think that welding is limited to metals?

While we don't commonly think of welding glass, that's actually what the procedure is. It's no different than welding steel or any other metal (or plastic): you heat the parts until they melt together, and (usually) apply a filler made of the same material.

>>6184042
Peanut butter and banana make a godly milkshake

>>6185273

They are supposedly really really cool. My mother made some bread kits for some of her friends and tried some out herself. They're pretty nifty and are a great gift.

>>6185455

I agree. Made Kimchi and pickled pumpkin in Mason Jars as gift last year, made tiny gingerbread houses this year. So much less expensive than buying shit.

Food trends I dislike...

Beverages served in mason jars
Kombucha
Foods with foam
Anything artisanal

Fuckin' hipsters

coffee

its like a drug for working slobs, but you pretend like it tastes better if little african kids picked it? yea right

>>6184764

No the fuck they didn't. Useless hicks drink from mason jars, and they still do.

>>6185556
how would you like your entree served, sir?

>>6185615
Obviously...to go

Probably the food reviewers who don't actually review food.

>You can really smell the garlic!

>Well, it looks like (describes product without any additional detail)

You know, those morons in their cars.

>>6183962
Because that's how it's always been done and it's delicious.

Slimy chicken thighs
Pasta in any sort of broth
Gelatine on anything (I would've died in the 70s)

I hate spicy chocolate - wtf is wrong with people

>>6187358

I kind of dislike this entire chocolate trend. I mean, sure, it's nice being able to choose between different types of chocolate but I feel like they often just throw in whatever they find laying around and sell it as some kind of fancy-shmancy high-class chocolate or whatever.

Coffee is good

Putting everything in canning jars. Like why, what purpose does it serve? Why not just use fucking tupperware or whatever if you need to take it with you? Jars are inconvenient as fuck to eat out of.

>>6183931
I dislike that places use mason jars as cups to be hip.

I don't trust the dishwasher to clean the lip of the jar with all those grooves.

>>6188625
>Like why, what purpose does it serve?

Style. It's a throwback to the "good 'ol days". It also works because mason jars are very inexpensive.

>>6184755
Mason jars are super practical. The glass is very thick and hard to break unlike the paper thing glass that glasses are usually made with, the lid turns it into a resealable air tight container, because its glass it can become hot or cold, meaning a variety of different foods or beverages can be stored inside of them, they are also dishwasher safe and don't contain many harmful chemicals that plastic and metal containers do. I actually use them for salads and pastas in my lunch box if I need it to stay cold for a long period of time.
I do think people who buy just the jars are fucking stupid though. That's a ripoff when you can get a jar with food in it for cheaper, and just clean it

>>6188625

>>6187358

i don't hate it but it annoys me because people overhype it due to some misguided association of heat with 'passion' and sexiness and shit. like i used to neck chilli sauces with abandon when i was a teenager because i thought it was funny. having a tolerance for it is hardly a sign of worldliness.

>>6183931
It's the most hipster shit in the world to hate a trend. You're literally hating it because it's a trend. You can't tell me you actually hate this because you hate how it tastes.

>>6188749

Not necessarily you, you, you pro! Not all checkered button-up shirts are flannel

>>6185615
>serving fries that big
welp no wonder murricans are fat slobs

>>6190162
We need to step it up a notch honestly. We should make it trendy to hate hipsters. Or is it hipster to trend hate? Hate to hipster trends...

>>6183931
Food trends don't bother me too much as long as they're done well. I don't really give a fuck about whether or not something is trendy as long as the result is delicious and not obscenely overpriced. (I don't want to pay extra to eat whatever happens to be fashionable).

But I do have trouble with a couple trends in America over the last couple decades: massive increases in the intake of both cheese and sugar. This bothers me, because I do not feel compelled to have everything I eat loaded with cheese, sugar or both. Not that I have anything against either, I just don't need them everywhere.

Oreo Smartie Kitkat Cheesecakes or whatever it is now

>>6184121
>Cream cheese frosting
Vile.

>>6184019
>float to the bottom

Chili Peppers in purely sweet dishes, especially choclate-based ones.

So fucking disgusting. The abrasiveness of chili just does not go well with sweet things.

And no, the ancient South Americans did not do this - their chocolate concoctions were bitter, sugar-free affairs you fucktard wannabe haute cuisine failures.

>>6191875

Is milk or cream ok?

>>6188749
Flannel? They're not lesbians, you know.

Getting a little tired of "Cookies and Cream" and "Chocolate Chai!" everywhere... Cookies and cream I understand. I wish my local cafe wouldn't have gone that route (vanilla, chocolate, hazelnut, and peppermint around Christmas... and even then, nothing they make needs any of it because it's fucking GOOD!). Chocolate chai is an abomination... Spiced (hot) chocolate is good, so I don't understand why I don't like chocolate flavoured spiced "tea" things.

Sriracha mayo weirds me out.

_____ "pesto" bothers me... again, irrational. I like kale pesto, I just think it should be called something else.

Hot sauces are getting kind of ridiculous, especially considering that Blair's had a 15mil scoville "food additive" for a while. What's next? Resiniferatoxin sauce?

And that's what grinds my gears.

That and focaccia sandwiches... trendy fucks.

>>6183931
I hate mason jars, kale, paleo diet, bacon and nutella.

One thing that really bugs me is that many pizza places went insane with their menu.
>Want a regular funghi?
>Fuck you, it's more expensive than one with hollondaise sauce as the base sauce, minced meat, bacon strips, a dollop of barbecue sauce and some mushrooms sprinkled on top

I just want a regular pizza, man.

>>6188625
fucking this.
While I personally dislike drinking out of jars I can at the very least understand why others do. The eating out of jars thing is just ridiculous though.

>>6188749
flannel is simply a type of material. thats like calling all underwear "cotton"

blending whole fucking donuts into your milkshake is pretty shit-tier

>>6193058

Should they cut them in halves beforehand?

Aioli. Why the fuck does everything have ailoi now? It's just mayonnaise for pretentious hipsters that like to pretend they eat healthy.

>>6193135
But muhh fair trade!

>>6193135

what's wrong with aioli? It's nothing new at all, I've seen it in restaurants a lot for like 20 years at least. It's just flavored mayonnaise; plain mayo sucks, there's nothing wrong with putting other shit in it.

>>6193135
>anything with a foreign name that I can't buy in WalMart is pretentious hipster bullshit.

>>6193135

>aioli
>pretending to eat healthy

Nigga what are you smoking, who the fuck thinks mayo is healthy?

Looks like my maximum sugar intake for the week in a single glass.

Seriously disgusting, I have no idea what compelled people to start combining foods that are individually awful for your health and provide no nutritional benefit into even worse mixtures and "meals".

But hey, in 2014 I decided to respect my body so I am a little biased, I'm gaining pounds on excellent nutrition now and I have zero cravings.

I went to a well reviewed place in my area I just moved to. I got the "mile high" Reuben. I wasn't expecting it to literally be a mile high but the amount of corned beef on it was as wide as my pinky finger and dry. I felt ripped off. That is when I realized yelpers are retarded. They were also charging $2.25 if I wanted fries instead of chips.

>>6193142

what

Why are you calling these "trends" instead of memefoods like you should?

This isn't a trend but it is just a pet peeve of mine

I will not eat anything with mushrooms in it. I would rather go hungry than eat anything with any kind of mushroom in it

>>6185556
Kombucha is really good to drink for healthy digestion though bro, any time I am trying to lose weight I do a glass after every workout.

>>6193135
i also have noticed that aioli is mayo for people that are too good for mayo.

>>6194128
>actually living in a place so backwards that local pretentious people have to resort to aioli

>>6194073
Not only is it not healthy for digestion that is a horrible way of trying to lose weight

There is not only nothing to support its benefits there are piling studies of it being incredibly unhealthy for you

>Mason jars

I disregard your status as a human being if you use one of these

>>6194190

Just for you I'm gonna drink a mason jar of founders porter tonight.

You want me to use the actual ball brand jar or the one that used to have biodynamic lacto-fermented raw local organic sauerkraut made from heritage cabbage? I can do either.

>>6194030
Bad taste.

>>6194128
I have never heard of aioli.

>>6194154
Specifically:
>Case reports "raise doubts about the safety of kombucha,"[18] since there have been incidents of central nervous system impairment, suspected liver damage, metabolic acidosis,[18] and toxicity in general.[18][19]

>>6194030
Mushrooms on pizza is bomb as fuck though. And stuffed mushrooms. Mushrooms in general are great. I understand having that food that everyone else likes and you can't eat it though.

>>6194128

What the fuck, it's just mayo with extra shit in it. That's like saying that everything used to top pasta that isn't a basic marinara (example bolognese) is pretentious because it isn't basic marinara. Are you serious?

>>6194890
Aioli's become one of those things though... and a lot of places here are just adding things to Hellman's. At least make it yourself, it's not that hard.

There is one place here that does sweet potato fries with "chipotle garlic mayo" which they make in house. That guy should be calling that chipotle/spicy aioli.

He smokes his own chipotles too. He explained to me that it's essentially making use of things he already has, but with all that he does from scratch and the labour costs involved, I can't help but wonder how long he has until he's out of business.

>>6195360
>become one of those things

One of what things, and "become" how? I remember aioli being offered on sandwiches at the "upscale" sandwich joints I would go to in the 1990s, and no one complained about it back then either.

One of what things please. I have no idea what you mean.

>>6195360

I've had aioli on sandwiches since I was a kid in the early 90s, how has it "become a thing"?

>>6183931

Well one trend I dislike is using fucking mason jars as dtinkling glasses

>>6195363
Ubiquitous, obnoxious, there to raise prices, and gladly paid double for as much for the aforementioned as for the actual flavour... hipster fodder.

It actually seems like the fad is dying out here... I kind of hope it goes back to being a condiment rather than an advertised, make-or-break, spreadable narcotic. I just don't like have creamy things shoved down my throat, forcibly or figuratively.

>>6195384
>an advertised, make-or-break, spreadable narcotic

WTF

In all honesty you sound like a hypersensitive basement princess who flipped out the first time he went to the local fast casual joint and discovered something that wasn't previously part of his daily routine.

>>6195398
It was more large pieces of menu board with giant seriffed text stating loudly: "WE NOW HAVE AIOLI" and my ultimate disappointment in the end product place after place, time after time.

If it was good everywhere and quickly went from trend to norm, I probably wouldn't have even noticed, but it was a religious experience here, and my butt hurts from being a pariah.

I know plenty of places that make plenty of stuff in house. Usually it's reflected in the prices on the menu - everything is a buck or two more than what a similar dish would be somewhere else, but people are willing to pay the little extra because the food is noticeably better. Of course these kinds of places are located in upscale neighborhoods where people have the money and desire to pay for better. I know plenty of Italian joints that make their own pasta, and when I'm going out for pasta I'll choose them over a place that doesn't.

I was in one of those places last week, just for drinks. The bartender was a turbo nerd, showing off his homemade vermouth, bitters, tonic water and shrub (a fruit flavored vinegar that's very good mixed with bourbon). I'm not much of a cocktails guy, but the drinks this guy made were among the best I've ever had. And at $12-$15 a pop They ought to be excellent, or they're a rip off.

When I ordered an appetizer it took over ten minutes to arrive. The bartender explained that the kitchen had a "no microwaves" policy, so it had to heat in the oven, which takes longer. When it finally arrived it was very good.

The crowd was Brooklyn's answer to Portlandia, of course - affluent people who appreciate how everything is sourced and that kind of stuff. And while the place was expensive it wasn't a rip off. What they were doing was definitely a step up from your average neighborhood restaurant.

These kinds of places can make it as long as they're located in a place where they can attract the right crowd. And my experience is more people with a little extra money to spend appreciate as much as possible done in house as long as they perceive an increase in quality.

I was just trying to paint a picture someone who doesn't live here would understand.

It is kind of amazing how many people around here are making their own beer, cider, kombucha, sourdough bread, kimchi, pickles and more in small urban apartments. I have one friend who cures his own lardo. In the industrial area down the hill from me there are two small distilleries, a chocolatier and a place that makes charcuterie.

It was bound to happen. While food at the supermarket is cheap most of it is not that good. Anyone with the incentive can do better, and even make a business out of it if they can connect with those willing to pay a premium for better products. And there certainly is enough wealth around here to support that sort of thing.

Shit man, my family's been doing this since I was a baby. We always have a shit ton of jars since my dad is a fisherman and preserves tuna in mason jars and we'd use them for everything. I'd bring snacks and homemade juice to lunch in mason jars all throughout school.

To this day there's just something nostalgic and charming about drinks and snacks in jars. I guess I can see how that would spread as a trend if other people find it nostalgic too.

I really hate the trend where foodies act like going to eat somewhere is this spiritual, existential, transcendental thing. Like going to some religious site like Jerusalem or something.

They all put on their horn-rimmed glasses, bow ties, flannel shirts, and skinny jeans, grab their Canon cameras, and go on a pilgrimage to some foodie destination. Then they talk about all the flavors and aromas and atmosphere in their dumb-shit blogs.

"Next, master Chef Kenji brought us out a place of slow-braised pork in a steamed bun that reminded me of my days in college in Hong Kong. Served one a intimidating square plate, Chef Kenji was trying to evoke images of Tank Man in Tiananmen square. Can food be the one thing that unites us to overthrow tyrannical governments? What an abrasive message to send."

Makes me really fucking sick.
