/ck/ - Food & Cooking

>>6341846
nice thread! i will help out...lesse...#1

1. giving a shit what anyone else thinks and just enjoying the food that makes you happy.

oh shit did i break the thread?

my bad.

>>6341854

Eh..I still enjoy some of these foods, however, the foodie cult around some of them is annoying.

kale

but as someone who has grown up on greek yoghurt and now lives with a greek flatemate i enjoy the stuff.
nothing better than nutelle between two jaffa cakes

>>6341846
Are we trying to avoid the m word?

It doesn't make your thread any less of a shitpost.

flaxseed anything
sweet potato fries (I fucking hate them)

>>6341857
not sure we are on the same page.

i think all of that can be good, sriracha i only use on pho really...but overall that is all good stuff. my point was who fucking cares about what you like, just be happy and eat with a sense of enjoyment. in uni i had a friend who made sandwiches out of peanut butter and haribo gummi bears....and you know what? zero fucks given. sounds insane imo, but it means nothing to my life if he eats that or a damn cactus, who gives a shit.

>>6341866

What's the m-word?

>>6341868

I don't care at all. That's not the point of this post. My point was in naming food items with a lot of hype around them or cult following, that's all.

Is this your first day on /ck/, opie?

Or do you just enjoy mindlessly repeating what has been said thousands of times before, because the routine distracts you from the impending void that is mortality?

P.S., are you aware that disliking these trendy things is, itself, a trendy action?

Are you aware, in a general sense, about anything?

nutella and sriracha have been around forever, it's stupid for people to put them into everything but if you've only recently heard of them then you've been living under a rock

also street tacos? what the fuck? that's not a fucking trend

>>6341872
Meme

Seriously I hate when Asians eat with chopsticks even though I know how to use them I stick with fork n spoon

Avacados. All of a sudden everything needs avacado in it. Burgers, salads, you name it.

>>6341891
But in the last couple years there's been Nutella EVERYTHING.

Salted caramel
Frozen yogurt
Aioli

>>6341875
i took your post the wrong way then, fair enough.

>>6341931
What's it like posting from 10 years ago?

Fish turns into a trend food every year around this time because MUH LENT.

>>6341891

I've known about both my entire it's just that they are everywhere now. Applebee's and Taco Bell have sriracha food items and there's tumblr pages desecrated to sriracha. I like it as much as the next guy people go overboard on these trends.

>>6341953

*dedicated

Nutella?

Also Sushi

>>6341854

No, you kind of made me hate these trends even more as some of them I really enjoyed before they got so trendy.

Don't get me wrong, I don't dislike them now that they're trendy, I'm just tired of them now. I loved sriracha, not just the rooster, but in general. I've been putting it on crackers for years. Now I cannot bring myself to eat it.

Now Taco Bell, color me disappoint.

I forgot OP...fried eggs. I still love them on everything, and I'm glad the idea has become popular, but sometimes?

>>6341875

You needed to add that they don't have to be bad, but it's just becoming annoying.

>>6341954
>desecrated

No, you had it right.

On restaurant menus:

Aioli
Artisan bread
Peach tea

>>6341846

>>6341854
>oh shit did i break the thread?
No worries, it's still here and people are replying.

>>6341846

I just made a street taco with chipotles, Greek yoghurt and nutella, topped with sriracha.

It sucked.

fuck you, OP.

who the fuck doesn't like the flavor of chipotle?

The worst trends are:
Anti-gluten
Anti-gmo
Anti-MSG

Alternative nut butters

Yes I too hate the food trends of 5-10 years ago.

ITT: Decade old food "trends".

>>6341938
aioli isnt new.

>>6342864
>>6342843
>college boy elitist liberals being mad that they live in a "tolerant" multicuck coastal shithole

Enjoying the feeling of jamal's BBC in your rectum, shillary lover?

I can't even think of an actually current food trend that I'm tired of because they're all pretty dope. I guess root vegetable purees in place of sauce is getting a little old.

>>6341888
SMACKDOWN!!!

>>6341949

>>>6341931
Local cuisines change with time much slower than your awareness of trend spreading. But thesafest bet is assuming he defines his cuisine by the avocado occasions in the fast food corporate monoculture.

>>6342870
I live amongst those elitists; hell, I probably am one to some extent. (I live in Massachusetts.)

Those fuckers do more harm to the American left than any number of barely literate, inbred, Bible-thumping stumpfuckers do to the right. Their pathological need to seem cultured and worldly just has them chasing trends and dismissing shit just because they think it's about to become popular.

Even when they have good ideas (or just repeat good ideas) they are dismissed because they're the ones saying it.

If you don't like a "trendy" food because it's trendy, get the fuck over yourself. You didn't invent it, you didn't discover it. Either shut up and eat or go find a new food that will be the next trend.

>>6342899
Another way to look at it is that it is easier to define trends once their end point is in sight. Adoption by fast food monoculture is a good way to mark the beginning of the end.
From that point on, it is either fully integrated into the American diet or it is rejected and never heard from again for a couple decades.

>>6342913
>mfw someone actually capped this

>>6342870
I didn't get a word of that. Afraid I don't speak "stupid", or whatever they speak where you come from.

Has fresh food made it there yet, or do you still live off canned food?

How much really are the new waves of trends developed from boundary pushing creative chef types? Food industry giants while using trends like a jc penny designer is told to copy the latest runway fashion also force trends by simply moving a substantial of product.


The mcrib for instance I've heard to be released on when mcdonalds secures a sizable amount of pork futures when they drop off in price.

Excuse my loopy grammar.

>>6341846
>Implying based nutella is a trend

>>6341846
Chipotle
Bacon weaves
Soy lattes

chiken tendies

activated almonds

hamburgers

bubble tea

pho

general tao chiken

milkshakes

steak fries

ramen

bacon(huhr)

yogurt as a middle class womans health food

>Sriracha
I do hate the sriracha cult in popular culture. But it is a pretty good sauce, and just about ubiquitous. I feel no remorse about enjoying it. Sriracha is actually one thing I really DON'T like to add to my pho. A good broth speaks for itself.

>Nutella
Not a sweets man, but I could make the same argument as for sriracha.

>Chipotle
This is a restaurant, not a food item.

>Greek Yogurt
Maybe certain brands or something, but yogurt is pretty ubiquitous. What pisses me off is that people treat it like it's some sort of miracle food.

>"Street Tacos"
What the fuck are those?

>>6342795
>Artisan bread
Yes. Now THIS one really pisses me off. There is no such thing as "artisan" bread. Just tell me what fucking kind of bread you're using, thank you very much. Is it rye? Sourdough? Barbari bread? "Artisan" tells me nothing other than that you like to masturbate on your menus.

>>6343204
street tacos are normal mexican tacos.

AKA: small, corn tortillas with only meat and 1/2 toppings

>>6343210
>"Artisan" tells me nothing other than that you like to masturbate on your menus.
It indicates there's a good chance the sandwich will be built on something better than the kind of horrible sub rolls you find at chains, or the sliced wonderbread they have at diners.

That's something.

>>6343222
And this is a problem, somehow?

>>6343226
It's a bullshit marketing term that tells you literally NOTHING about the bread itself. Every storebought brand calls itself "artisan" these days.

>>6343204
>Chipotle
>This is a restaurant, not a food item.

Can't tell if stupid or just trolling:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chipotle

>>6343254
In his defense, OP did capitalize 'Chipotle' so it is a little ambiguous. Still, both the restaurant chain and the dried chili are a little irritating in their trendiness.

The dried chili is probably worse because restaurants put it in fucking everything and play it off like they're Guy Fieri blowing the doors off your buttoned-down pre-conceived notion of mayonnaise.

Chipotle, the restaurant, is relatively easy to avoid. Just don't eat at one.

KeYBORD TO FLAVOR TOWN

>>6343241
I agree it's a bullshit marketing term. Fucking trash like Panera calls their shit artisan. But it is a step up from Subway or wonderbread, so I'll give them that.

Far worse than the use of the word "artisan" to me is the whole fast casual thing. Fast food joints doing ever so slightly better than no effort trash pawning themselves off as being substantially better than other fast food places, and charging premium prices for it. Panera, Chipotle, and Five Guys are great examples of this, and they annoy the piss out of me. Not because I mind paying more for better (I don't), but because they're really not much better.

Boba
Gluten free macaroons
Avacados?

>>6343264
He also capitalized yogurt, you sperg

>chipotle
>trendy

You're that guy complaining about normie reddit mods deleting your tendies shitposting, aren't you

>>6342823
People whose sense of self-worth depends on how many people they can feel superior to for dubious reasons. Think of how many people you can feel superior to if you don't like something popular.

>>6341938
Fuck you fleur de sel caramels are delicious

Aioli is amazing as well.

>>6341938

nigga you trippin balls or you live in buttfuck nowhere

I've seen frozen yogurt shops around since I was a kid and I'm almost 30

also aioli? how the fuck is aioli a trend?

>>6341867

>sweet potato fries
>I don't like them so they're a trend

>>6343278

but macaroons are inherently gluten free, so are macarons

also "street tacos" have been around for fucking decades

>>6341846
Semen [for the obama/clinton do as we say not as we do types]

/ck/ is in a really pissy mood today.

Is this a new meme or did I miss something?

>>6341892
The cool thing is knowing how to use them all, both chopsticks because those can be useful sometimes and also knifes, forks, and spoons, even various types within those.

>>6343307
>I'm almost 30
...and you're still on 4chan. Tell us what went wrong, so that we might learn from your mistakes.

>>6343321
I'm glad that I'm not the only one to notice that.

>>6342823
>The worst trends are:
>Anti-gluten
>Anti-gmo
>Anti-MSG
That's no more annoying than people thinking carbs are poison and boneless, skinless chicken breast is "healthy". There's more than enough stupid to go around.

>>6341846
None of what you listed are current food trends. You must be from a flyover state.

>>6341846
I love taco trucks
The rest is whatever

>>6343321
>>6343329

>>6343341
One for you, you're a douchebag who thinks that you're the only one that's worked not only 9-5 M-F but also til way late nights. You can piss off you entitled sounding douche bag.

>>6343341
Are you a nigger?

>>6343350

Who the heck works 9-5 anymore? Except maybe eurolards with their state-mandated 12 weeks vacation and free healthcare? The earliest I left my desk in the last week was on Friday. On Tuesday I was there until 10.

>>6343356

No. Do you live in one of those places where whenever something you didn't like took place, you lynch the nearest black?

>>6343360
It's necessary sometimes, because that's a standard when folk are expected and if there's a problem with stuf then I have to be available to sort it out.

It doesn't mean that I have to be on some site 9-5 but that's most normal companies are available for business. It varies if running databases and systems so that you have to make sure that even if drunk or something on a Friday night, the west coast still has systems availablity.

>>6343367
Naw we don't lynch the nearest ones, just the ones deserving of it that rape and pillage and generally act like savages and rape our womenz.

Look up al sharpie sharp sharpton and tawanna brawley.

>>6343360

euroland paid vacation laws and shit make me so fucking jealous

I work fucking 60-80 (depends on how many banquet reservations we have) a week no matter what. Hell, I cut about half an inch of my thumb off a few weeks ago and didn't take any time off because I'm not going to fuck over my coworkers.

>>6343378

I know who sharpie is, I actually ran into him a couple of weeks ago going into whole foods. He's a lot smaller than you'd expect. Sorry you're living in the dark ages.

>>6341846
>street tacos

Oh god this

>lel, they are half the size and sloppy as fuck, but the same price as a normal taco! I feel so

>>6343390
Condolences, was he surrounded by his entorage of hypocrites and freaks in their hoodies?

Natural
Organic
Free range
Artisan
Gluten free craze
Vegan "meat" alternatives

"Earthy" foods. Somehow eating dirt isn't very appealing to me.

>>6343410

No, surprisingly he was not flanked by heavies like in all the pictures. There were some black people nearby (the only black people nearby), and they were dressed pretty well so I assume they were part of his group. But he was standing on his own, at least ten feet from them, waiting for something or someone.

>>6343425
Maybe waiting for some cash payoffs.

>>6343387
Pastry chef here.
I feel your pain.
I also fucking love my job. Shitty parts and all.

>>6343429
That's cool, you'll probably be really good at it too. Cheers!

>>6341892
I don't think that's the point. He hates how these foods have been ruined by the mainstream, sort of a hipster thing to do.

>>6343421
I think this might tie into the infuriating descriptor "rustic." Fucking every show on Food Network calls every dish, no matter what's in it or how it's prepared, "rustic."

I always took "earthy" to describe the common element in a lot of root vegetables, mushrooms, and the like, which contain geosmin. It's supposed to taste and smell "earthy" in a pleasant way, the same way good seafood is supposed to taste like the ocean, but in a good way.

1000 calorie "portions" of anything
Cheese everywhere
Flavored crust on pizza
Kids meals for adults (nuggets, tater tots, "gourmet" mac&cheese)

>>6341892
.........what?

you grew up with silverwear, good for you, use it. a lot of people in the world grew up with chopsticks and a spoon. who gives a shit, use what is natural.

fucking hell...only on /ck/ can you find people this pretentious and full of douchebaggery.

>>6341892
Do your panties similarly bunch up when you hear about Indians and Pakistanis eating with their hands? Or does it bother you less because you don't know how to do it?

>>6343497
Oh boy here we go

I don't think a passportless flyoverland neckbeard who gets ass blasted seeing an east asian eat with chopsticks will even understand that there is a technique and an etiquette for eating with your hands, in places where that's commonly done such as south asia and parts of southeast asia.

food trucks where the food costs just as much or more than a restaurant i could sit in and enjoy my food.

sriracha
gluten/vegan when it doesn't have to be
white people who go nuts over basic asian snacks

Not that guy, I live in NYC, but I've lately noticed a few random frozen yogurt shops appearing in less trendy working class neighborhoods. I'm not sure why. Maybe there's one person behind all of them? They don't look very successful so maybe it's a money laundering operation...
