Food choices of people are evolving with modern trends and fashions. But some food trends are so nasty that they’re hard to bear.
A user asked the forum, “What modern food trend can you not wait to die?” Here are the top responses.
2 INGREDIENT DESSERTS
“2 ingredient desserts (with 7 ‘optional’ ingredients that appear once you read the actual recipe).”
FOOD TRUCKS
“Food trucks that charge the same price as a premium restaurant but serve half the size on a floppy plate that I have to stand up to eat.”
HACKS
“Calling a slight alteration to a recipe a hack. Adding parmesan cheese to your grilled cheese sandwich is not a hack. ‘It’s a minor recipe change.'”
FOOD WASTING TRENDS ON YOUTUBE AND TIKTOK
“The stupid food-wasting trends on YouTube and TikTok, etc.”
SWEET ON TOP OF SWEETS
“Sweets on top of sweets. A milkshake with a donut, lollipop, and cupcake attached.”
RESTAURANTS SERVING FOOD ON CUTTING BOARDS
“Restaurants serving food on cutting boards, shovels, paper, shells, or anything that is not an actual plate.”
CREATIVE MENU
“Graphic design menus that try to be creative but end up confusing. Also, pdf-only menus. I prefer a physical one.”
TIPPING
“Tipping for food, I’m picking up at a counter. What am I tipping for? Plus, if that tip is necessary for the employees to make a living, the restaurant needs to pay their employees a higher wage and charge whatever they need to charge for the food to do so. But I’m tired of being asked to tip for everything.”
DECONSTRUCTED FOOD
“Deconstructed food. I did not pay you much, so I can cook/make my food.”
DETOX FOODS
“Detox foods. Just eat food and let your liver do its job.”
TWELVE COURSE MENU
“I’m a chef tired of the twelve-course menu, where each course is two bites.”
COOKIES WITH NO SUBSTANCE
“Crumble and other cookies that have no substance; just sweet on sweet on sweet.”
SALTED CARAMEL
“Salted caramel, everything that used just to be caramel.”
TRUFFLE FLAVOR
“Truffle flavored everything. Real truffles can be wonderful but in moderation. Truffle oils in everything. Enough!”
MELTED CHEESE
“Covering melted cheese or cheese sauce over food that would have been better without it.”
TALL HAMBURGER
“Hamburgers are getting taller and taller. What use is a 7-inch tall burger if I can’t bite it?”
HIGH FRUCTOSE CORN SYRUP
“High Fructose Corn Syrup is in seemingly every commonplace food in America (almost said to be ridiculous amounts of sugar in general, which I still hate, but is a bit less reasonable to expect).
Sugar is a huge part of why unhealthy food is so addictive and unhealthy in America, and I think most people have become conditioned to expect high sugar in most things. We need to roll back that idea.”
LIQUID SMOKE
“Liquid smoke is used as a substitute for cooking with wood smoke. If it ain’t genuine, I have no interest in it.”
