Given all the other fast food meals they are copying, I'm guessing its supposed to be like McDonalds nuggets. But with pork and a dinky radish because ??? I'd feel less ashamed eating McDonalds and it wouldn't cost me a ridiculous amount either.

Otherwise people are always going to buy these miracle products, forever chasing the dream of an impossible cure or low effort diet. You say that, but the Chinese dudes who keep snorting dried tiger dong to get boners despite living in a world where Viagra, et al, exists argues otherwise.

You're right, there's always gonna be rich people that create a market for those miracle cures. Though that probably actually does work for them because they can only get it up when spending ridiculous amounts of money on a luxury. For a lot of them its more about the status than it actually working. Just another thing to impress guests in their decadent homes. Here check out this tea made from fungus growing out of a dead caterpillar. Sound disgusting? Well I basically brewed a small fortune to make that cup. Not so gross now, huh?

I think the reason the Reeses is so infuriating is it's so close to being good and cool. It looks the same, it's still milk chocolate over peanut butter filling, it all sounds delicious. But then they had to go throw bacon on top just in case some normal person might be like oh hey that looks good. It probably also costs like $10 too

Kale and sugar are icky and feminine and non-paleo, gotta have that bacon from pigs that have been listening to ASMR 30 minutes every day. I am still pissed that kale got trendy and expensive. I used to be able to eat it all the time because it was loving cheap.

Speaking of this: Remember a while back how Quinoa got super popular all of a sudden? Well the health nuts and trendy food eaters started demanding so much of it and were willing to pay out the nose for it that the price of quinoa rocketed up so much that poor people who eat it as a basic staple food in Bolivia couldnt afford to eat it anymore. It became more expensive than chicken. The demand also produced large pressures to turn diverse farmlands into monocultures, which quickly erode soil quality and use inordinate amounts of resources. Dont buy Quinoa. You are literally stealing a poor persons dinner if you do. Also a direct from noted shitheads PETA: "Eating quinoa may harm bolivian farmers, but eating meat harms us all."

Well I think those admittedly ridiculous 'future' things look tasty as hell. Sure there's no reason to label them the way they have as future versions of food, but I'd eat all that stuff and probably enjoy it a lot. Now can we talk about the absolute saturation of pulled pork? It's nice and all but Jesus it's everywhere.

loving Subway of all places has pulled pork now. May not be big news in the US but in Europe it's somehow simultaneously novel and overplayed.

My Lovely Horse posted:loving Subway of all places has pulled pork now. I get uncomfortably angry when you see poo poo like pulled chicken. Like, how does that even work, you can't just shred something and call it 'pulled'. Also salted caramel seemed to be on the verge of taking everything over recently, but that tide seems to have receded somewhat.

There was so few places doing it but they did it well. Now everywhere seems to have some item with pulled pork on the menu. And the majority of them are serving mushy, stringy, flavourless meat.

Did a time-traveling Australian just deliver American BBQ to the people or something? Pulled Pork has been an American BBQ staple for decades and it is weird to me that apparently it "appeared two years ago" when it has always been ubiquitous. It was always something that I assumed had transferred overseas ages ago along with novelty burgers and pizzas.

Low'n'slow-cooking meat for tenderness has definitely been a thing in Europe for a long time. I think the "novelty" of pulled pork is the shredding and serving in a bun with coleslaw.

I think they were going for croquembouche, that thing where you make a huge pile of cream puffs and put strings of caramel all over it. I'm so sorry for all of you who have suffered through bad pulled pork. How does someone know how to cook at all and gently caress that up.

Where do you guys live that pulled pork is trendy? It's pretty much been everywhere as long as I can remember. It's like saying roast beef is an annoying trend.

NESguerilla posted:Where do you guys live that pulled pork is trendy? It's pretty much been everywhere as long as I can remember. It's like saying roast beef is an annoying trend. I'd never heard of pulled pork until a couple of years ago. One of my colleagues went to lunch at a new American/New Orleans themed restaurant that had recently opened and came back raving about "pulled pork". Then it seemed to appear everywhere, like quinoa or goji berries. I tried it once, but it appears to be a pile of chewy meat slop in sickeningly sweet sauce. I don't really get it, and it's a really tedious and obnoxious food trend (like all food trends, I suppose). Some people (like my colleague) just won't shut up about it. I don't think the kale craze ever became much of a thing because so much is grown here that it's just a common vegetable people have always eaten. Grocers sell heaps of it just like cabbage, so I'm a bit baffled over the insane prices and weird kale concoctions people in these threads discuss. It's...kale. Basically a chewier cabbage.

Enfys posted:I tried it once, but it appears to be a pile of chewy meat slop in sickeningly sweet sauce. You had super crappy pulled pork. If your pulled pork is chewy, you have utterly failed as a restaurant, even more so if you drown it in sauce. When done right, It should basically just be really super tender pork, with chunks of the spicy crust/bark mixed in, and a drizzle of your favorite hot sauce. It doesn't have to be BBQed, but it's like a million times better if it has that smoky flavor. KozmoNaut fucked around with this message at 21:28 on Apr 12, 2016 |

This must be a regional thing, because in the South pulled pork has been a "thing" forever.NESguerilla posted:Where do you guys live that pulled pork is trendy? It's pretty much been everywhere as long as I can remember. It's like saying roast beef is an annoying trend. Basically this. I have seen things like burgers with pulled pork on them become a trendy thing, but the food itself has been a barbecue staple.
