I went to a café one time where the tables were made of uneven, unfinished slabs of wood, the chairs were crates, the coffee was served in glasses and the wine was served in jars. Who looks at any of that and thinks "Yes, this is a good idea"?

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.

Famous Dave's has a galvanized trash can lid full of enough food to feed a family, and that's the wackiest thing I've ever eaten off of, even though it's technically a giant serving platter and we [thankfully] just get the food onto our own ordinary dinner plates. Eating food out of shoes and barbed wire and poo poo, though? That's just plain loving stupid.

Bone broth. quote:They say it makes your skin more radiant, alleviates joint pain, helps your liver and more. Until this point there were only a couple places that made it fresh locally, and none of them have it packaged up like Connor’s, to take home with you. The bones he use come from 100% organic, grass fed animals, and the story behind him discovering what some call “magical healing powers” is pretty great; it’s his heart that he puts into it that puts it over the top. It's loving stock

I've mostly seen this bullshit from my one Beach Body Coaching/Shakeology/Essential Oils shilling facebook friend, but it's so obnoxious I think it belongs here: "Bulletproof coffee", or more commonly written as "#bulletproof coffee". It's just coffee with oil and butter in it, which sounds disgusting enough, but of course it has to be starbucks coffee, some trendy butter called "ghee" (~grass fed~, naturally) and "Brain Octane oil", whatever the gently caress that is but I'm sure it costs like 20+ bucks an ounce. Why is it #bulletproof? Who wants buttery coffee? Why are suburban supermom types so obsessed with it?

Butter tea is a Tibetan thing; butter coffee is probably delicious as well. Here's the thing about highland areas: just being above certain elevations is hard on the body. You burn more calories not only due to the cold but also because your body is working harder to use what little oxygen it can glean from the air. If you are in a highland area and also doing strenuous work, I can see how a drink that is basically calories + water would be a real good idea. It is unfortunate, then, that this is being marketed to suburban dads in middle America.

It's "trendy" for the demographic that is using it in #bulletproof coffee. They describe it as "grass fed butter! totes amazeballs!", they don't know anything beyond that it is foreign and therefore mysterious and a cure-all to all our problems. That's what I meant - they aren't using it because they tried it on their trip to India, they are using it because it's the new "trendy" ingredient among 20-40 year old suburban moms just like acai berries etc used to be.

DARPA Dad posted:He is a water sommelier. That's a real profession now. He is also the author of a book titled "The World of Water," which is basically the water version of one of those wine or beer tasting books. But most notably he oversees the beverage program at Ray's and Stark Bar in Los Angeles. And by "beverages," I mean water. The menu is 45 loving pages long and is all water, sorted by country. Each entry on the menu includes the number of total dissolved solids and how much salt, magnesium and calcium is contained within that particular bottle of water. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rg3Mr6e1KMo He calls the Berg water poo poo hahaha

I'd be curious what he'd charge for that "100k bottle of water" if you take all the diamonds and gold off. You're really paying for a diamond encrusted bottle lid, but what would you even do with that? There are much nicer and easier to display things to encrust with diamonds if you really want to blow your money on that kind of thing.

PK posted:Bone broth. http://www.hemsleyandhemsley.com/how-to-video-making-a-perfect-bone-broth/ Spoiler, if you don't want to spend 35 seconds watching the vid: Get a fresh bone. Boil in acidified water for 12 hours. Strain. In the UK, we have a plague of healthfood gurus of the above type, recruited to sell the daydream that you can eat your way to beauty, rather than just boringly improving your health. They're all women, mostly in their twenties, all strikingly pretty and perfectly groomed, and not one of them is a qualified nutritionist because that's not the point. Their recipes usually swap obvious and cheap ingredients for pricy, hard-to--find ones for no good nutritional reason. I'm especially baffled by those who scorn the notion of porridge for breakfast, and suggest quinoa (both nastier and far more expensive) as an alternative. Other things that bug me: Sauerkraut. Fine if you like the stuff, but it's being peddled as some sort of health elixir, and there are whole blogs dedicated to it. loving courgetti, or any other vegetable that's been spiralized, and alleged 'rice' made from cauliflower.

How dare they like these things? And how dare they look happy about it? A man who detests everything posted:The contemporary conformist lifestyle is a curated DisneyLand-like experience for ‘the lesser cultured.’ Suburbanite mainstreamers feel ‘hip’ when entering a contemporary conformist space. They go home and attempt to ‘replicate recipes’ with new ‘flavors’ that they tried. I'm still uncertain if he believes anyone can really enjoy things they actively choose to wear and eat and do, even if those things are stupid and/or annoyingly trendy, or if the only way to be authentic (sorry, 'auth') is to have no options. But he doesn't like poor people much either.

Lavender. Put lavender in your shortbreads, cookies, sugar, oils, lemonades, and so much more! Or not because where the gently caress do you get lavender in your area, much less lavender that's not loving 20 USD or more, or some poo poo. It doesn't even taste that good? Aromatically, it's a nice addition, but you're better off huffing from a bag of dried poo poo you pull out of your underwear drawer than regularly buying poo poo to put in cookie batters.
