Hated Food Trends

[Vinayaka]

Been to an Ethiopian restaurant yet?
All finger food.

I like that stretchy barley flatbread. Unfortunately, last time I went I got food poisoning, so it may have ruined me for life.

Avocados ... did someone say avocados? Butter pears? mmmmmmmmmmmmm

That, several different sizes of forks and spoons, dish for that, saucer for that, tines up here, tines down over there, napkin place, cup place, napkin for this not for that......just ****ing eat! Dinner is so much better when you heap a pile of sea food fry on lid of a cardboard box and dive in with your hands. That is the best way to enjoy a hearty good meal with friends (even better when the weather is nice enough to eat outside).

Yep, and the various utensil customs/rituals that are completely pointless. "This has to be on the left and that has to be on the right, just because!"

Real chili has kidney beans & large chunks of tomato (IMO, of course).

Whenever I make chili it has kidney, black, and pinto beans along with diced tomatoes and green chilis.

Hot dogs need mustard, not ketchup.

Personally, I put neither on my hot dogs. For me it's either chili sauce, cheese sauce, diced onions, relish, or mayo (that last one is probably even more contentious than ketchup).

 

[Father Heathen]

To me, if it serves no practical or pragmatic function it's useless, pointless, and trivial. Where people see things they do, I see confusing and confounding rituals.

This. It's completely pretentious and superfluous.

As long as there is plenty of sauce and a mountain of cheese, what is there to complain about?

Pineapple!

 

[Vinayaka]

Pineapple!

Where? In Mauritius, they had a smaller variety, cut it to look all pretty, then put it on a stick and walked around beaches selling them to tourists.

That's fine. But they put pineapple on pizza here. There's something not right about tomato sauce, mozzarella and pineapple. It's just wrong on so many levels.

Yup. Never understood just what makes a good pizza topping. It seems just so 'by chance'. Why not apples? We always had a slice of cheese with apple pie.

I've noticed that hamburgers which are taller than their diameter have proliferated.
How does one eat these dang things?

You need to have a big mouth, like me. (At least, that's what everyone tells me.)

Odd....it's so thoroughly cooked, I'd expect it to be safe.
Still, worth the risk.

Yeah that's what I figured. I think it was left at room temperature too long. That was my third Ethiopian restaurant. Good foo, other than that.

I have a sensitive gut too. Boss didn't get ill at all.

Acceptable....except for mayo on dogs.
Why do you make God cry!

 

[Vinayaka]

How about haggis pizza?

Food as art.....tis deviant.

But why? It's acceptable on bologna, which isn't that much different, is it?

Baloney makes god cry too.

 

[Father Heathen]

Baloney makes god cry too.

But baloney is essentially a sliced up giant hot dog. What about fried baloney on a grilled cheese?

It makes God retch.
And He prefers bratwursts to dogs.

 

[Father Heathen]

God apparently dislikes anything that's pork, so who cares about his tastes?

And He prefers bratwursts to dogs.

Well, I would take a brat over a dog myself. Boiled in beer.
