‘I was saying this to my mate yesterday, I’m sick of hot honey on everything. That and nduja.’

‘Gourmet fast food. A tall burger which features some sort of combination of maple bacon, mac and cheese, pulled pork, onion rings, halloumi, or avocado. Invariably called something like ‘dirty mac’ or ‘piggy smalls’, served on something that is not a conventional plate with a knife going through it, by a man with a baseball cap, beard, and sleeve tattoo. Probably canteen style tables and chips not included (!). The bread of choice was always brioche, which always disintegrated when you tried to pick it up.’

‘There’s a food market near where I live that captures this post perfectly but all the burgers are called something rank like the ‘slutty bitch burger with spank me daddy fries’ and it just gives off this cringeworthy wish of going viral on TikTok.’

‘Deconstructed anything! It just became a small portion that was spread on a plate to look bigger, and you end up with a fork or spoon full of every bit anyway which ends up being fully constructed by the consumer.’

‘Also cupcakes. I don’t want an overly-sweet dry cake the size of my head, half of which is weirdly-textured ‘frosting’ in a pastel poo-shaped swirl. I want a fucking fairy cake with glacé icing, decorated with hundreds and thousands, dammit!’

‘Are vegetables still being smashed or have they gone back to being mashed yet?’

‘Thai sweet chilli was the 00s version of hot honey. To be fair it’s now a pretty normal household cupboard condiment – but I’m sure it wasn’t in the 90s and before.’
–Alyseeii

‘Anyone remember those monstrosity milkshakes that sprung up everywhere for a bit. Just absolute nonsense in a mason jar with cake bits and sauce piled all over.’

‘The falafel years were very trying, but thankfully we all got through it.’

‘Food served with dry ice. As soon as I see food leaving the kitchen trailed by the Great Smog of 1952 I know the quality is going to be rock-bottom.’
