Hated Food Trends

Pork processed well (eg, bacon, jerky, ribs, cracklins) earns God's approval.
Pork wasted as hot dogs is why he created Hell.
Under normal circumstances I would agree hot dogs is why hell exists. But, yet, I don't complain or turn them when their convenience is very convenient (such as a LARP game where they are quick to heat over a fire and don't take long to eat). And I'm pretty sure the last hot dog I had was at a larp game. Otherwise they have to be slathered in a spicy nacho or jalapeno cheese.

This. It's completely pretentious and superfluous.
I don't think it is. I don't get why we do all that needless stuff, but I do get we are social animals prone to conformity and we do tend to adapt the behaviors of those around us. It all seems pointless and dumb to me, but, literally, my brain doesn't process stuff like a normal person.

A lot of practices are done with an air of haughtiness.
 
Hipsters are trying to take the humble hamburger, & make it "gourmet".
In the process, they lose sight of what is great.

Anyone who serves an 'artisan burger' in a 'brioche bun' should be instantly vaporised.

Then to justify charging you $25 they use wagyu steak mince or something which is worse cos it has less fat in it.
 
One food trend I don't like is the Luther Burger. Such a waste of a donut. And a burger.

That's just rude. Why would anyone even want to do something so offensive? It's like having a garlic meringue.

Then again some Americans seem to like chicken and waffles with syrup which is equally rank.

Never heard of that till now. Waste of a good donut at the very least.

Though the origins are unknown, it's generally accepted that fried chicken and waffles has roots in African-American/soul food cooking (there's also a Dutch version that uses pulled chicken and is served with gravy).

Too each their own.

Absolutely, i do like the french "formal" meals, they do build community and tend to be very relaxed and jovial despite there being strict protocols on the way certain foods are eaten. Not everyones thing for sure.

Little things like no side plate for your bread concerned me at first but it is assumed the table is clean so just put it on the table.

Also faire chabrot seemed very strange, it is dying out now and it only tends to be the older ones who do it. But as a foreigner in a strange land, joining in can earn you lots of new friends

Looking it up, they actually make haggis pizza, and the only thing about it that looks bad about it is it looks like you need the digestive system of a through-and-through carnivore to eat it.

That's because it is a digestive system. Digesting a digestive system has always been hard. If it was easy, it would have digested itself.

I am aware, and also aware that haggis (the stomach) is stuffed with lots of non-meat ingredients, such as grains and onion. Haggis pizza looks like someone dumped a pallet's worth of sausage on it.

I have seen haggis, never eaten it... (I worked as a courier for a bit, delivered it), and yes that's an apt description. Really large chunks of bloated sausage. Maybe they don't eat the container, just the oats inside.

Haggis, sliced about 1cm thick is a great accompaniment to a full breakfast of 2 eggs, 3 or 4 slices of bacon, a sausage or 2, tomatoes, mushrooms, hash browns, and 2 slices of haggis, all fried, plus a helping of beans in a tomato sauce. With toast and/or fried bread.

I do miss my full Scottish breakfasts.

Substitute the haggis for black pudding to make it a full english.

Well, that makes my 3 cups of coffee and an orange look like nothing.
