Murphy Brownback posted: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? I've tried this. The butter isn't much different than putting milk in there. It's a traditional Ethiopian thing though. Strange to us but it wasn't just dreamed up by some bearded weirdo while he ate a bacon coated doughnut off a hubcap or whatever. The coconut oil is pretty tasty. I prefer it black, but it's not as outlandish as it sounds.

Crow Jane posted:You... grow it? Easy to do in and outdoors. A-loving-mazing in lemonade, gin, or a combination of the two. It comes up like a weed around here. My mom makes a kind of Turkish cold sweet drink called hoşaf with it and it's amazing on a summer night. Turkish stuff is never trendy. Even when it's initially weird but good for you and you learn to like it over time, which seems to be main criteria for these trends, it just never happens. I'd really like to chart the origins of these food trends; they seem to come out of areas which are geographically and culturally most dissimilar to America/Western Europe which would point to exoticism and often Orientalism. The water thing though, I got nothing.

It's just another trendy metabolism boosting cureall for people like then to shill. Even if it tastes amazing, it's not going to burn off your extra pounds unless you supplement it with real exercise that works with or without your butter coffee

I was in Pirate Joe's and ahead of me at the till was (probably) some investment banker bro buying $80 worth of imported grass fed butter from Ireland. Vancouver is rife with annoying food trends; there is a restaurant doing a dinner series based on food garbage aka "trash cooking" for $79 plus tax and tip.

Doesn't the oil from the butter just float to the top? it sounds really disgusting. I've heard of people putting eggs in coffee lately too which sounds even worse.

Crow Jane posted:You... grow it? Easy to do in and outdoors. A-loving-mazing in lemonade, gin, or a combination of the two. Most recipes call for dried lavender. So either you spend several days drying it or buy it at a store. And while you can grow it on your own, do you really want to buy a plant? How much would the plant cost? You're just making lovely cookies that calls for way too much butter or sugar, etc. Just make some cookies and ditch the lavender. Idk man I just want to complain

Do fad diets count? loving Paleo is just wrong in every possible way. Cavemen didn't eat like that, if they did it wouldn't make it a good idea, and as you can imagine a diet that cuts out a lot of important dietary factors would be, is terrible for you. The scumbag behind it had to edit (only edit, not can  ) his book because he was pushing a recipe for baby formula that would have killed (because, y'know, breast milk isn't natural).

I keep looking at these not-plates and wondering how the hell they can be sanitized. The clipboard would have to be pitched after one use, and I can't imagine the matryoshka doll surviving a good hot water wash. Shoes are definitely not made to be washed. How do you clean them for the next customer?

It's always fascinating to see someone froth with loathing for people whose crime is...being being middle class. OK, in this case it's being middle-class, and attempting to look as if they have more money, taste, and experience than they really do (the trends he criticizes are silly, but most trends are). How dare they like these things? And how dare they look happy about it?

Seeing all these "quirky" plates makes me think of another horrible gimmicky food item. It's not presented as artisanal by any stretch, but it's in the same vein. Guy Fieri's trashcan nachos.  And while I was looking for pictures, I discovered that serving nachos in a trashcan lid is a thing too.

Salted caramel. I seriously don't get it, it's a bit of savory in a traditionally sweet thing and just serves to make the whole experience worse. It's okay but I'd really just prefer regular caramel but no, everything has to be fancy and nothing says fancy like a pinch of salt in melted down sugar. gently caress you, salted caramel.
