Which recent food trends make you roll your eyes?

My Dad (Ohio) did/does salt (and pepper) and my mom (also Ohio) did/does not. I thought my dad was nuts as a kid but now I love salt on melon, either by itself or in the form of salty prosciutto/cheese.

Out here, this is sort of a trend on fruit, but not really. Maybe the "on everything " part.

^ Also my favorite kale variety.

Winterbor (curly) kale, not so much. That one goes in soup or curry to be cooked for a long time.

Tajin (and chimayo) on mango is a beloved Mexican treat.

Suppose so - I guess trending not so much. Still roll my eyes, though.

A year old but a pretty comprehensive list of past trends

Have you tried it with Gruyere rind? I’m always tempted to try.

I like chili and salt on fruit but I don’t like Tajín or the Hawaiian Li Hing Mui salt for some reason. I gave it to a Malaysian friend who likes another Li Hing Mui-type salt for his fruit. https://www.spoonuniversity.com/lifestyle/8-different-ways-to-eat-hawaii-li-hing-mui

I have not, but I imagine it would work. Maybe next time I make French onion soup?

LOL. J/K. I’m going to have to think about this one a bit. Also, not sure how I missed this thread 4 days ago.

Wat.

oh yes, I’ve used hard cheese rinds in kale soups and in bean soups like pasta fagioli. I keep them in the freezer.

Oh, sorry, you were being sarcastic I guess?

I didn’t know what your confusion about my comment was, assuming you showed up here to contribute. No sarcasm.

I’ve just seen “welcome” as a greeting to new posters, which doesn’t apply to me.
