Low carbohydrate versions of everything, and when people who did not know anything about nutrition would use "carb" as a buzzword while shoveling bacon and butter into their mouths, then complain about not losing weight.

Just the word "carb" in general, fucking retarded.

Agreed on the gourmet-burger thing. I went to this restaurant in Los Angeles as a spontaneous decision with some friends, because they figured that hamburgers = cheap, and I warned them otherwise.

We ended up paying something like 30 dollars for each meal, for hamburgers.

Maybe gourmet corndogs are next.

I'd convert to religion if that died tomorrow. It's this generation's MSG, except instead of the evil "ching-chongs" it's the big bad farming companies with their "GMO's". A tiny minority of the populace has an easily diagnosed intolerance, therefore the substance is killing everyone. Makes you wonder if these people know what an allergy is.

It's because a little truffle flavor is a lovely thing. Lots of poor truffle flavor spilled all over everything to "class it up" is not just a cheap trick, but it gets tiresome very quickly.

I would not draw a parallel with vanilla. Instead I'd compare it to making a dish seem "richer" by covering it in flying fish roe, and calling it caviar. (And I'm glad the flying fish roe trend came and went as well).

Pizza has been popular for many decades and is not specifically a hipster thing but I know what you mean. First it was a neat urban novelty in America like having kanish. Then delivery service made it occasional family takeout. Then it became teenager/stoner/fratboy food, and now restaurants are pursuing gourmet pizza.

Enough already. I get it; bread, tomato sauce with oregano, and a shitload of cheese.

There are so many other Italian-derived dishes to enjoy.

the problem with this is though; to avoid a law suit or anything like that; you pretty much need a separate bakery all together. Different equipment for everything, different rooms to store said things; everything has to remain separated and cannot be near or come into contact with any gluten. Another thing to note is that flour gets in the air and settles as dust fucking everywhere.

Don't know what it's like in US but 'organic' here has very distinct meaning and I can say that plenty of organic food actually tastes way fucking better than the non-organic variants and I pay that small extra for the taste. They are probably healthier to the environment as well so that's a plus.

1. Gluten-free

Seriously non-celiac faggots, gluten isnt bad for you. Whoever told you that knows nothing about nutrition. God damn it, my friend has celiacs i.e. he will shit his internal organs out if he consumes the smallest amount of gluten and you asscunts are driving up the price of gluten-free foods. Fuck you.

2. Vegan

Fuck you. I understand being veggie if you don't want to eat meat, but jesus christ an egg wont kill you, neither will yogurt or butter (in moderation). Grow a pair. Also if you are a fruitarian or one of the other sects you need to burn in a fire and have your children put in protective custody.

3. Organic

Its literally the same food it just costs twice as much. You are stupid and you probably have a fruit fly problem.

4. Soy anything

How to cook gourmet meals:

Step 1: HUGE WHITE PLATE
Step 2: Use teensy tiny itty bitty portions
Step 3: Drizzle sauce on the plate like a Jackson Pollock painting
Step 4: Garnish with some sort of green leaf
Step 5: Repeat

Congratulations! You are now a gourmet chef.

I have celiac, have had it for a good while before this whole gluten free trend came along. I'm of two minds about it. Ten years ago, it was nearly impossible to find quality gluten free products. Then the Atkins diet came along and people were less weirded out by someone asking for a burger wrapped in lettuce (although I did get a lot of people telling me I didn't need to lose weight). And a few years back the gluten free fad caused a proliferation in quality gluten free products. Can go into any grocery store now and find a decent selection, when I used to have to travel ~45 minutes to buy anything other than the basics. Haven't seen prices rise, really, but they've always been high. And the type of places that offer gluten free for the hippies tend to be more expensive in the first place.
That being said, the sheer idiocy of the gluten free trend for non-celiacs has made me not want to eat gluten free, especially while going out. I've heard and seen people be absolute morons when it comes to ordering at restaurants, so much so that I don't want to be associated with it. I'd almost be willing to go back to the bad old days of limited selection and blissful ignorance of the general public.

I'm glad the trend for drinking out of old mason jars seems to have died off. That shit was unbearably, selfconsciously quirky. There's nothing worse than well-off middle-class kids playing at being broke.

I hope quinoa isn't a fad.
My mom used to make it when I was a kid as she went through a health food phase in the early 90s. I'm glad to see people are making better choices.

Just because a lot of people start talking about something and perpetuate some dumb bullshit ideology with it, doesn't make it bad.

i wash the mason jars that my mom makes her homemade pickled green tomatoes in, and drink my summer beverages in them.

i realize this could be construed as quirky by others, but idgaf.

also, i've seen fake plastic mason jars with lids/straws at two different grocery stores in the past week: meijer and walmart. so, prepare your jimmies.

South African. Portuguese-Mozambican food.

>Founded in 1987, Nando's operates about 1,000 outlets in twenty-four countries on five continents and as of 2012 had sales of $650 million.[2][3]

Insanely popular; they tend to open up outside university halls and places like that. Spicy food, cheap, spicy food. Enough meat to get Super Manly Men interested as well, but it's chicken so it's "healthier". Free refills on drinks etc because it's costing them basically nothing.

For comparison it took McDonald's from 1940 to 1968 to open 1000 restaurants, so, yeah. Nando's is possibly not going away ever.

Pretzel buns. They're not even good!!!

The celiac thing is just annoying for a few reasons:
>most people are completely misinformed about it
>most people don't even know what gluten is
>most people are NOT actually allergic / intolerant to gluten

I work with food for a living, so I take food allergies seriously. I don't mind, as long as people just let me know. It is very annoying to work in a sandwich-based business and have dumb soccer moms coming in asking about gluten free:

So I tell her, the food prep surfaces are all potentially cross-contaminated with gluten. "Oh we just don't eat gluten to be healthy!" Then proceeds to order some horribly fattening processed breakfast burrito.

This. Gluten free bread uses egg or some other kind of chemical emulsifier to give the bread structure, but it never has the right texture.

Actually, it's far easier to make low-carb bread than gluten-free bread, since the gluten content of wheat contributes much more to the formation of bread than anything else, and you can get vital wheat gluten fairly cheaply. You could also use it to make seitan as a meat substitute.

I have nothing against experimentation or aiming towards perfection, but I do disagree on the level of high ground these people have given to themselves, especially when most of the time their "correctly done" end results either miss the original point of the dish or look just awful. People can by all means grind their own oats and be as quirky and original with their versions of hamburger or mac & cheese, but I will continue to draw entertainment from those who think this gives them any sort of special authority on how things are ought to be done.

It depends on the type of diabetic you are. Some have to watch the amount of carbs they take in because it affects their bloodsugar.

However carbs =/= gluten. A lot of carb-filled foods do contain gluten, but going just gluten free as a diabetic would probably not fix everything.

Yogurt is way too healthy to be labled as a "Food trend."

I don't fuck with FroYo and shit, but try eating plain greek yogurt with a spicy dish or hot soup on the side. Or mixing it with tostitos dipping, like the spinach one for example. Very good complement for intense flavors as a way of cooling out your taste buds.

I make my own Greek Yogurt, tastes great when you drain out the water. Must have with fried foods, helps with the oils.

I've had some good 'gourmet burgers' but not really from fancy restaurants just kind of expensive burger places like murder burger or burger Wisconsin or burger fuel.
still quite overpriced but not just like buying a hamburger for 15 dollars.

every single 'gourmet' pizza u have tried has been disgusting.
The best pizza is one you get from a little Italian shop with the creepy italian guy who calls me darling and beautiful every time. There's a thin pizza base and blobs of real mozzarella and a little bit of shaved chorizo over Like actual tomato sauce made from tomatoes and herbs.
that sounds a little pretentious but w.e

or the one u make at home. too many people add too many toppings and it ends up gross af.
like that world's most expensive pizza that was covered in four kinds of caviar and cream cheese. didn't e en have tomato sauce. gross hell.

It's the diabetic nutrient exchange system. I had to use it for a supervised medical diet once.

15g Carbohydrate = 1 carbohydrate exchange
7g protein = 1 protein exchange

Patients get a certain allotment of each category every day to keep their shit in check.

when quick oats can't literally be less healthy be a use they actually are ground up oats. ....ground up smaller so they cook faster....
I laughed so loud when he told me to buy a fucking Amish grinder to grind up my groats.

It's fucking hilarious when you see milk, dried fruits or juice that are labelled "gluten free" and have a mark up. Do these people even know what gluten is? People with celiac disease probably do, because they're the only people who should be concerned about it.

I actually do use organic pbj but only because I accidentally grow too much and have to preserve and I want to save money. not show everyone how much money I have buy spending a fortune on a four year olds sandwich.
