I'm sick of chips being served in miniature buckets with the rest of the meal on a wooden chopping board. I can't remember the last time I went out and got food served on a plate.

Bomrek posted:Butter tea is a Tibetan thing; butter coffee is probably delicious as well. That's basically where he got the idea. He was in the Himalayas and saw the mountaineers drank that butter coffee. He thought if it's so healthy and useful to them maybe he should market it to the Suburbs. You're right though mountain climbing would burn through a serious amount of calories so it's not uncommon to consume fatty calorie rich foods. I'm not sure if the BulletCoffee guy doesn't know that or if he does and is just a shameless marketer. I nearly forgot about the most Hipster food trend. A cereal restaurant.  They opened up in London and heard they had plans to open a second in Dublin. The premise is simple, they have American and local cereals that they serve to you in your choice of milk for the price of lunch. Marenghi fucked around with this message at 16:08 on Apr 1, 2016 |

Scathach posted:Okay, trends-- have we talked about bacon everything yet? Yeah bacon is great but it doesn't need to be in every meal plus dessert. Also, gently caress ultra-expensive "artisan" beers. Craft beers can be nice but some of them are woeful and the price difference between them and the established brands is a kick in the teeth. There's a certain greediness disguised behind their "artisinal" façade of many hipster brewers. Recently an up and coming craft brewery ran a kickstarter to fund it's expansion. Never mind that they are well established and could raise the money through standard financial methods. They went through crowd-funding whereby a €5 gets you a thank you message, €25 gets you a crappy bottle-opener, €100 gets a t-shirt and €500 gets a vat in the brewery named after you, for all that would entail. https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1706233908/rye-river-brewing-company

Argyle posted:Great timing for this thread, because minutes ago I overheard coworkers talking about activated cashews. Salt water? It clearly states pure, alkaline water. Actually come to think of it alkaline water sounds a bit too "chemical" for their target market. I'm surprised they didn't say it was pure water infused with hand-harvested sea-salt. And speaking of sea-salt, when did naming the place of origin become a thing. Used to be you'd see salt & vinegar crisps in shops. Now it's Cornish sea-salt and cider vinegar Marenghi fucked around with this message at 22:37 on Apr 5, 2016 |

Palpek posted:Dude, I'm not saying it's real, the video itself is pretty clear about it. Does this mean we're at the high tide of "artisanal" products? They're much reach a point when too many mass-market companies are either pretending their stuff is artisanal or making fun of the artisanal crowd. I mean it's getting pretty ridiculous when McDonald's start making "artisanal" food. They tried release one here called the McMór, Mór being Irish for big, with local although mass produced ingredients like Ballymaloe Relish and Charleville Cheese. They had to remove the word artisan from it as that is a protected term for products made in limited quantities by skilled craftsmen on a not fully mechanised process.

Carbon Thief posted:It's used medically for treating certain types of poisoning. IIRC, it can block other medications from being absorbed properly, and you can end up with black poop, vomiting, and/or diarrhea. I wonder how many hippies on meds aren't getting their doses because of using activated charcoal drinks. I did notice one said to be careful because it cant' discriminate between "toxins" and medicine. No mention of what it does to the nutrients you're careful diet is meant to provide. Scathach posted:"Artisan" honey. Guess what? All honey is made with the hands of tiny bees. Either it's all artisan or none of it is. Google artisan honey and read up on some stupid poo poo. Apparently artisan honey comes in varietal and mono-floral products, depending on whether the bees harvested from a single or blend of flowers. Now I'm no bee expert but they're not exactly controllable are they. How do these people know what flowers in the region they are selecting to collect pollen from. Outside of keeping a bee-hive in a green house with only selected plants can you really say exactly what flowers were used in the honey making process.

Jakabite posted:Now can we talk about the absolute saturation of pulled pork? It's nice and all but Jesus it's everywhere. It was ok when it first arrived a year or two ago. There was so few places doing it but they did it well. Now everywhere seems to have some item with pulled pork on the menu. And the majority of them are serving mushy, stringy, flavourless meat.

Subway are the only place I've seen do a Philly Cheesesteak. I've never tried it because all that melted cheese and meat looks too much for my arteries to handle.

Icedude posted:They don't understand Mexican food over here in England either. Everything must have japalenos and chilli powder in it. EVERYTHING. Burrito? Gotta be spicy as gently caress. Plain quesadilla? You betcha it's got chunks of jalapeno in it anyway. Lucky you. I don't bother with jalapeños anymore since all the Burrito here in Dublin charge extra for them now.

At what point will the tableware become so mixed up that places will set out a normal table just with everything in the wrong object. All they need to add to those chips in a pint glass would be a pint served out of a soup bowl.

Thursday Next posted:OK, but, first, you have to get off my lawn. But do you really experience anything if it hasn't been observed by people you know. Snapping their meals is the same as taking a picture of the plane as you take off or yourself on a beach. It's not a real experience unless you share it with everyone...

Wait pasteurised bones, as in sterilised? I'm not sure of the steps of making bone broth but does boiling them in water come in at some point. Wouldn't that have much the same effects as pasteurising them?

BattleMaster posted:To be perfectly honest I've never eaten at one of these restaurants that tries to get cute with the tableware so I didn't know how much/how little forewarning you get. If it's heavily advertised then I probably wouldn't be ordering it to begin with, but if there's no warning then gently caress 'em. I've never gotten anything as egregious as a dog bowl. But the places that have served food on wooden boards or in those miniature metal buckets haven't advertised the fact they don't use normal plates.

Actually that's another trend that annoys me I keep seeing on Facebook. Recipes that seem ridiculously unhealthy which involve mixed ready to eat junk food into a standard recipe and pretending like they re-invented the wheel. Recent examples I've seen are fried chicken made with crushed doritos in place of seasoning and breadcrumbs. Nutella also seems to be popular among those types of recipes. I've seen pancake wraps with nutella filling and coated in nutella, or nutella sauce spaghetti. The whole trend is depressing seeing adult women going wild for food a 5 year old would dream up.

-S- posted:No. The restaurant asks him to come help them, so he does and then they refuse to take his help and he screams at them, then they cry, then he fixes it and then 3 months later they go back to doing the poo poo he told them not to do, then they go out of business I always found the American version seemed much more staged. And the style took on too many of the cliches from the worst reality shows.

FetusSlapper posted:The US version also has Amy's Baking Company. Crazy people with too much money on their hands are very entertaining. That was the only episode of the US version I really enjoyed. But even then I had to skip through a lot because of that annoying American format of interminable ads with previews of drama pre and recaps post break.

Cooked pineapple with meat filling does not seem like a good combination of textures. Just my opinion.
