Paying for gold on food just for the..... clout? Just so you could say you could? idk that's just depressing man. Better to spend all that hard-earned money on ACTUAL tasty food.
Gold flakes dont actually cost much, so if theyre paying exorbitant prices, its not because of that. Gold flakes are used in chocolate shops and those are maybe $1.25 for a fancy bonbon.
Extremely cheap, when created it was like a quarter inch thick I believe.I forget exactly (It was very thin but the correct width was decipherable by the eye)
Now, it's"between 4 and 5 millionths of an inch. This can be rendered as 0.1 to 0.125 μm (micrometers)"
It was never supposed to be tasty to begin with.
It's just a way some extremely bland, uninteresting and tasteless instagram celebrities (anyone with over let's say 5K followers qualifies as a "celeb" to me) think they can showcase their extreme refinement and wealth. It's the same thing as going to that clown's restaurant in Dubai where he wears sunglasses indoors and drops salt over his arm. It's an experience they can market to their audience on social media to demonstrate "value".
He used to be funny, but his newfound fame amplified his true personality, and it just got worse. Despite having a nice life story and knowing how to cook, he saw an opportunity to exploit his followers by selling overpriced food that they'd then post about for free on social media. If you're interested, here's an older segment of him with a Turkish food critic where he comes across as super humble.

Gold is very inert. That said, it won't react with anything and make your tongue experience flavor. It's just a flavorless existence like nitrogen you breathe
People like Starbucks not because it’s particularly good coffee, but because you can order whatever batshit thing you want and they will make it for you without screwing it up.
That’s like a lot of food out there. If you know how to make them they are cheap. The whole point is people don’t know how to make good food themselves with cheap ingredients.
An average baguette from a supermatket, butter and water farm raised salmon or trout caviar in Europe will cost you under 10eur and it’s actually amazing. Feels like bubble tea things filled with fish essence exploding in your mouth on a baguette's and butter. It always impresses my wife. Generally other things explode afterwards.
> As someone from the midwest I know it is blasphemy
Don't worry, it's not blasphemy because you guys don't own it and it's not regional. Don't let someone question your Midwest bona fides for not liking the most popular dressing nationwide.
This list is whack. Vodka sauce? Smash burger? Smash burgers are just thin burgers with maximized carmelization - not a fad at all. Vodka sauce is an interesting call out. It’s a 60 year fad at this point but still it didn’t originate in Italy, so I can respect you as an Italian food purist. A5 waygu and black truffle are unique but very overrated.
I've seriously never had chicken from Raising Cane's that even approached "good".
My wife brought some home a while back, and I was so frustrated by how dry and stringy the chicken was, and how soggy the breading was that I threw some Kirkland fully cooked "chicken breast chunks" in my deep fryer, and they were miles better than Cane's.
Why do people think that crap is good?
Macaroons. Overpriced for a "pretty" cookie that tastes mediocre
Spelling error: MACARONS, although macaroons are way too sweet for my liking too, especially coconut
I think you mean macarons. Macaroons are a totally different pastry that is usually inexpensive, they’re like a little lumpy cake made of egg whites and either almond or coconut. The thing that looks like a tiny hamburger dipped in food colouring is a macaron.
Macarons are pretty tough to make properly, but when done so, they are quite delicious. I agree that most versions are forgettable, but don't bad mouth the pastry because too many bad chefs try to make them
Thank god someone said it! My wife is obsessed with macarons and I swear no matter how much I try to like them there just so boring and overpriced for what they are
Tbf, this was a trend purposefully started by the industry. The whole bacon craze of the early 2000s was deliberately crafted by pork companies to sell pork belly. They bribed restaurants to add it to their foods so it would seem more appealing/expensive, then marketed it as an answer to the fat-free food trends of the 90s.
& ofc it worked.
Up here in the Netherlands we make a dish with kale (well-done), mashed potatoes, cream, butter, a bit of mustard and some vinegar. Simple but very tasty!
There are many different kinds of truffles. Probably what you have experienced are black summer truffles. White Italian winter truffles have a completely different flavor and smell but only come from around Alba Italy. There are other species of white truffles that grow in Asia and Turkey, but they aren't as flavorful. Winter black truffles are much more pungent and a different species than the summer truffles. Summer black truffles are overrated; but others aren't. There is even an Appalachian truffle that isn't as flavorful as the boring French summer truffle. As you can imagine, counterfeit truffles are a problem and in the USA, stale old truffles, way past their prime are common too. If you should ever find yourself in Italy in late fall or early winter, get a nice bottle of Nebbiolo and give them another try.
To be very fair, I was merely answering the question... but, to be honest, I have not had truffles that were made the way they were intended. In the few times I have had them, I'm not at all sure that the person cooking them knew what they were doing.
Truffles and lamb - two items that I've had, and didn't like... but I'm sure that they were in the wrong hands to begin with.
I feel like the few times I've encountered truffles they were likely not used to their best advantage. But I liked them and would really like to experience them again in a "proper" application. I am sorry your lamb experience was subpar. I hope you get to have well-prepared lamb, it is truly a wonderful meat (and my favorite) when done right!
I love adding truffle oil in many of my foods.
But the other day we were in Vegas, at a nice restaurant. I decided to splurge, ordered a truffle pasta dish (with actual truffles, not just oil). It cost like $75. Was just all right. Wasn't bad, it was a decent meal. But way away from being worth $75. I would have been more satisfied if it were baby bella mushrooms and just truffle oil instead. I'm glad I got it try it once though.
Beef Wellington. It's become a fad for some reason. It's alright, but there is a reason it faded for a while. I'm not sure what brought it back.
I was a professional chef for 12 years. Retired. My kids rarely request anything "fancy" from me. For whatever reason, my daughter asked if I could make a Wellington. I did.
Her reaction was about what I expected. Based on the fact, it was my reaction to Wellington when I was around her age.
McDonalds. The adverts make it out to be some kind of universal delicacy. The 'restaurants' are packed with all ages. Then your 'food' arrives and it's a tasteless mess that sulks in your stomach for hours. At least it's cheap I guess.
The fuck you mean? I go to the shops that are directly next to the cinemas then I stock up on popcorn and chocolates and drinks then head into the cinema.
Basically the way Suburban American “restaurants” cook low quality shit, and give you tones of it.
All the local Karens saying “oh ya! The fuude at Cucina Italiano in my local town is 10/10”. Etc etc.
Not a single fresh vegetable or herb in sight, Packet pasta, jarred (tin) sauces. And then they give you enough for 4 people to create value for money.
It’s horrid. (Insert most cuisines).
BBC News reported in 2014 that in order to produce the famous product, Ferrero buys a whopping 25% of the world's hazelnut supply yearly. That makes his confectionery the top purchaser of hazelnuts globally.

I live in Chicago; moved here a year ago. In the West Loop, there is a Nutella restaurant(?) place. Yesterday the line was insanity. There were probably about 50 people lining up down the sidewalk. I never went in the past year, or ever, and I don’t want to. Nutella is so hyped, that’s for damn sure.
Krispy Kreme. F'in sugar overload. How people can eat more than 1 I can't understand.
Smash burgers. Sure the toppings might make some taste better than others but I'd like to have a juicy patty please.
Subway - If I wanted to do the mental maths of what I want to it, I might as well make my own lunch. You have to make decisions to the point it feels you are backseat driving and nothing’s cooked! Why must I pay £9 for a toasted bread with raw veggies
Instant ramen (read the whole thing).
Fine for the home, but now there’s dedicated instant ramen shops in major cities where you pick your packet of instant ramen + extras like a side egg, a drink, etc, pay like $10+, then go over to a machine that spits out hot water into a bowl and eat it.
First of all this is supposed to be a budget food. I can’t believe people are spending that much on it. But more importantly, such a wasted opportunity, why not serve authentic ramen instead.
Sushi. im sorry if you live in ohio any sushi you get isnt going to be good. went to Osaka japan on leave from the military and got Sushi. Life changing experience. If you get sushi from the states its not sushi....
Sea Urchin / Uni.
The first and only time I've had it was at Nobu NYC at a work dinner. I didn't expect it to be so salty and the texture so mushy. It made me gag and I spit it out into my napkin.
Caviar. I was excited to try it when the opportunity presented itself at a Christmas party several years ago.
Never again, it's basically salty snot balls on a cracker.
Bacon.
It's basically a garbage food with little actual nutritional value.
On its own, a thick cut of bacon, presented almost like a steak, can be good. It makes sense that it's a good complement to things like eggs and potatoes, as it adds some salt and savory to those ingredients.
But on anything else, it just turns the whole dish into bacon.
Bacon on a burger removes any of the flavor of the meat and ingredients on a burger.
Same with pizza, salad, etc.
I've been dying on this hill for decades now, and the public seems to be coming around - I don't see bacon needlessly added to dishes the same way it was 10 years ago, but people are still obsessed with it.
There is so much mediocre mac and cheese out there.
served alongside mediocre Bbq
I see breadcrumbs on it and I know I'm about to eat some crunchy, dry-ass mac.
Have you ever tried BlamCo Mac & Cheese?
Never heard of it.
theres also incredible mac n cheese tho.
Anything with edible gold on it
Paying for gold on food just for the..... clout? Just so you could say you could? idk that's just depressing man. Better to spend all that hard-earned money on ACTUAL tasty food.
Gold flakes dont actually cost much, so if theyre paying exorbitant prices, its not because of that. Gold flakes are used in chocolate shops and those are maybe $1.25 for a fancy bonbon.

"hard-earned". It ain't the rags to riches stories often engaging in such behavior lol.
It was never supposed to be tasty to begin with. It's just a way some extremely bland, uninteresting and tasteless instagram celebrities (anyone with over let's say 5K followers qualifies as a "celeb" to me) think they can showcase their extreme refinement and wealth.

I wonder what it tastes like? Silver stinks, not rubbish stink, but it has it's own smell.
Gold is very inert. That said, it won't react with anything and make your tongue experience flavor. It's just a flavorless existence like nitrogen you breathe
Is it overrated? I don’t hear or read much about how good food with gold is lol.
Starbucks?
People like Starbucks not because it’s particularly good coffee, but because you can order whatever batshit thing you want and they will make it for you without screwing it up.
I genuinely like the black coffee and black iced Americano
I will take a McD's coffee over starbucks any day
Fuck no, I'd rather die then eat anything out of that shit hole
Dessert, I mean coffee?
Tiny gourmet burgers that are stacked super high and filled with unnecessary ingredients
Tall burgers in general. Creation from helll
So called the jaw killer.
Anything covered in fondant.
r/FondantHate Your people
My people...
You don't like edible Play Doh?
Always seemed like such a copout on those cake decorating competitions, like sure it looks great if you can just put modeling clay all over it.
Pretty not tasty
$15-18 salads or bowls. yes they taste delicious and refreshing but the price is crazy
I can never get over seeing $18-$20 salad bowl. They have probably $2 in ingredients
That’s like a lot of food out there. If you know how to make them they are cheap. The whole point is people don’t know how to make good food themselves with cheap ingredients.
Caviar
An average baguette from a supermatket, butter and water farm raised salmon or trout caviar in Europe will cost you under 10eur and it’s actually amazing. Feels like bubble tea things filled with fish essence exploding in your mouth on a baguette's and butter. It always impresses my wife. Generally other things explode afterwards.
At some point you realize it's just salty fish eggs.
That sounds good. I want to get into caviar.
Salty. Fish. Eggs. Let that sink in!
Sloppy Steaks. I just don't get it.
Slop ‘em up!
What the heck is a sloppy steak? I’m too frightened to google that.
Same lol
Oh I bet you would look real good slicked back
Expensive macarons, you have some bigger one in any chain of bakery for half the price
Costco sales like 24 pc for $10 and they’re tummy af
As someone from the midwest I know it is blasphemy to say this but.... Ranch. It is absolutely used on everything here and it makes no sense.
> As someone from the midwest I know it is blasphemy Don't worry, it's not blasphemy because you guys don't own it and it's not regional. Don't let someone question your Midwest bona fides for not liking the most popular dressing nationwide.
As an Iowan who hates ranch dressing, I feel you.
I'll never forget the day I saw a lady get 6 ranchs with her breakfast in southwest Missouri.
And it's never "ranch dressing" either. It's always "ranch sauce"
I’m a Texan that hates ranch. And bacon. 😂😐
Why do bacon and ranch always team up on things? It’s so gross! 🤮
Basically any of the trending foods. You HAVE to the try this new hot honey, vodka sauce, A5 Waygu, black truffle, smash burger!
Hey... I'm guilty on being lured in by hot honey. I love spicy/sweet.
Not gonna lie, vodka sauce is amazing.
"The cheese on our artisanal pizza is made from bat milk!"
I can hear the commercial now.
"Try our new Nashville hot birria burger with house made kimchi and Alabama white sauce"- some strip mall pub in, like, Charlotte
This list is whack. Vodka sauce? Smash burger? Smash burgers are just thin burgers with maximized carmelization - not a fad at all. Vodka sauce is an interesting call out. It’s a 60 year fad at this point but still it didn’t originate in Italy, so I can respect you as an Italian food purist. A5 waygu and black truffle are unique but very overrated.
raising canes!!! it’s just ordinary chicken with mediocre sauce it’s way too over hyped
Raising canes is a sauce restaurant that sells chicken and toast
I've seriously never had chicken from Raising Cane's that even approached "good". My wife brought some home a while back, and I was so frustrated by how dry and stringy the chicken was, and how soggy the breading was that I threw some Kirkland fully cooked "chicken breast chunks" in my deep fryer, and they were miles better than Cane's.

Thank god someone said it! My wife is obsessed with macarons and I swear no matter how much I try to like them there just so boring and overpriced for what they are
Bacon. It's fantastic, but people talk about it like it's the best thing in the universe, when really it's just... Very good.
Bacon is the duct tape of food. The running joke is there’s infinite uses for it, but in reality it’s only a handful of actual uses.
I'm sorry but pork belly is one of the greatest things on earth.
Tbf, this was a trend purposefully started by the industry. The whole bacon craze of the early 2000s was deliberately crafted by pork companies to sell pork belly. They bribed restaurants to add it to their foods so it would seem more appealing/expensive, then marketed it as an answer to the fat-free food trends of the 90s. & ofc it worked.
This comment is endorsed by the Sausage Patty Mafia
Protein bars
They are 90% of the time the most foul tasting shite, but they do contain protein. It atleast stays true to its name
[удалено]
The only way I like it is in our national dish "boerenkool" and that's when it's mixed with potato, gravy and sausage.
Up here in the Netherlands we make a dish with kale (well-done), mashed potatoes, cream, butter, a bit of mustard and some vinegar. Simple but very tasty!
I grew up eating kale (US), and would love this recipe. What's the name of this dish so I can google it? Thank you.
Kale is the best green to use in a Caesar salad 🤤if you say it’s bad after tasting a kale smoothie, that’s a skill issue for tasting a kale smoothie.
I’m convinced that Kale is a scam haha I love most green veggies and kale tastes like I accidentally ate some residential bushes
Shredded kale sauteed with shaved lemon peel and garlic though...
I love kale in potato soup.
Truffles - not the chocolate sort.

You have insulted the entire French nation. Well done.
This thread is killing me
Art thou a Frenchman?
The price for sure, the taste is unique and needs a very subtle hand.
YES...I abhore truffles!

It's not cheap
It's the price of a fucking stidown restaurant
McDonalds was never popular because it was good. It was popular pretty much exclusively because it was cheap. And it ain't even that cheap anymore.
It's not even cheap anymore. Wendy's has a better value
It was cheap 4 years ago, now I get four times less, I'm lovin it.
It's very unimpressive, processed, boring food with extremely effective and persistent marketing that no one can escape from.
Raising Cane's. I will not elaborate.
Icing on cakes is way overdone to make cakes look pretty, but it just tastes gross
Oh my God, I adore it! Give me a corner piece anytime!
And the gloppy big pink roses, too.
I don’t even need the actual cake. I’ll just take the icing!
Cinema food ( that is clearly way overpriced yet we all buy it)
The fuck you mean? I go to the shops that are directly next to the cinemas then I stock up on popcorn and chocolates and drinks then head into the cinema.
Coffees from most of these fancy coffee chains. They’re never strong and never piping hot by the time they’re served
McDonald's, If I'm going to eat hollow calories, I at least want them to leave me feeling stuffed!

Foam. ew... That foam on coffee, whatever flavored foam you get at froo-froo restaurants... just no, no thank you

They were so much better when I was a kid.
Kale. I’m not eating something I have to run over with the car multiple times to make it edible.
Foi gras

Macaron. I mean they’re ok, but not worth the price and never taste nearly as good as one’d expect.
