Food trends/stereotypes that annoy you

What are some that bother you? Try to think of something relative to your area or personal experience rather than general crap we hear all the time like "hurr I hate vegans cause they dumb" or soyboy crap.

One for me is the "cheese whiz" on a cheesesteak. I lived in Philly for most of my life and the whiz shit seems to be more of a tourist trend rather than internal one. Locals will always choose provolone over that disgusting slop. It seems like many times when the topic comes up when I talk to people not from around me they have this impression that a cheesesteak isn't a cheesesteak without it.

When you order a non-alcoholic drink and they fill the glass with ice all the way to the top to ensure you're getting as little fluid as possible while also making your drink watery as fuck if you didn't drink it right away.

uh they do that with alcoholic drinks too...

What shitty pub do you go to that puts ice in your pint?

I guess the difference there would be that you're buying alcoholic drinks for the alcohol, which even in a cup full of ice wouldn't come up to the brim.

You would get the same amount without ice in that case though.

I think limes are overrated. I personally don't like lime and don't want lime in my drink, on my fish or with any other food/drink.

I always order light ice. Even with alcoholic drinks.

you're missing out on refreshing bitter-sour lime zestfulness, user.

try lemon instead, might be less astringent to the o' tastebuds.

I'm from upstate New York. I've literally never been to NYC. Everyone expects me to have strong opinions about pizza. No one in Rochester cares about thin crust vs. deep dish beyond normal food preferences, but that's all anyone thinks when they know where I'm from.
We have our own fucking regional foods that no one cares to hear about. Apparently garbage plates, chicken french, salt potatoes and the ubiquity of gyros in diners is boring compared to thin pizza and hot dogs.

I feel your pain there. While I posted the cheesesteak in OP, whenever people find out where I'm from they imagine that cheesesteaks are the only thing that we eat, despite having much better local items available. We have one of the largest Puerto Rican populations in the United States, if not the largest, so they have added a new element to cuisine here. Also, our restaurant scene has always been relatively strong.

That reddit instagram shit where theres an entire bakery piled onto a cup

Alcoholic drinks are supposed to have a ton of ice... it throws off the ratios if not. You'll just get more soda and the same amount of liquor.

Roast pork > Cheesesteak in Philly

go birds btw

go birds :3

When i lived in Philly I quickly learned that wiz was some bullshit created by owners in the 80s. Its way cheaper than American or Provolone , but people in the city who grew up eating them aren't stupid so they're marketed almost exclusively to people from Delaware and NJ

Gyros are straight up boring and easily the worst meat for a kebab. Beef and chicken with a different sauce are so much better than mashed up lamb and its a god damn shame gyros took off in the US vs kebabs. But thats racism for you

People in Kentucky don't drink bourbon and instead prefer Tennessee whiskey. Also less than 1% of people who attend horse races are from Kentucky; were just too poor to go.

Gotta stop getting kids pregnant in high school

>Apparently garbage plates, chicken french, salt potatoes and the ubiquity of gyros in diners is boring compared to thin pizza
yep, pizza shits all over that stuff
>I'm from upstate New York. I've literally never been to NYC.
what is wrong with you, seriously? You live right next to the most iconic city in the world and you've never visited it?

We are. The new standard is middle school

>NYC can compare to Tokyo
lol no, NYC is the best city in the US but come on. You can get basically everything NYC has to offer plus more and you get one of the safest cleanest cities on earth. NYC just has diversity of women and cheap cheese.

100% agree. Also game this afternoon should be great.

Unfortunately in marketing whiz for plausible tourists they generated the image that it was a Philly thing. Anybody who actually has lived in the city knows that provolone is the dominant local choice.

I always got provolone when I lived there, but pretty much everyone from Philly I met got American.

>is _____ a meme food?
>this is hipster numale food
>soyboy
>this is rabbit food
>______ cuisine is bad
All of these are very dumb.

I guess that can be debatable. When talking about cheesesteaks you're probably right about American being the more popular, but for sandwiches in general it at least seems to me to be provolone.

>cleanest city on earth
>not Prague

beer that comes in glass bottles instead of cans

like there is 0 advantage to storing it in a bottle over a can, especially since you're gonna pour it out anyways if you're not a pleb

Meme tacos. There are a bunch of "trendy Mexican" restaurants that opened recently that sell shitty over complicated hipster tacos for like four times what the should cost.

>not getting whiz AND provolone
Idiot

>Prague
>City
>Population 1.259 million (2015)

Thats barely a town

Here in Canada it seems like the current trend is take [Staple Food] and add [Indian/Middle Eastern Food] to it. Curry Poutine's the worst offender to it. But I guess it sells.

I guarantee those aren't priced per taco and come out with 2 or 3 on a plate.
And that's ok for the pricing.

>Curry Poutine
I don't know that sounds like it could be pretty great. Is it like Tandoori Chicken in a poutine or something or is it straight up a curry with fries and cheese on top?

Nope, it's per taco. Given they are slightly bigger than a normal taco but still a rip off.

No outside of places that literally border Mexico its pretty common pricing. Usually for tacos that aren't that big either, they just have "exotic" ingredients

Nah it's butter chicken over fries and cheese curds

I'm slightly drunk and that sounds fucking fantastic.

Place by where I live now that does things Chipotle style, but their food is actually really good. Their ingredients are pretty regular though, they just choose a higher quality and the meat is prepared in a more authentic style. They pretty much match Chipotle on price too so it's an easy choice.

As for the meme tacos, I get what you mean. "napa cabbage" and "escabeche carrots" is just hipster tier crap for tacos.

>e621
nice
>females

This sounds like something my wife would pay $10 US to eat. I would probably help.

Gotcha
Shut the fuck up

Not all of us drink horse piss. Some of us like cocktails.

CA$6 at New York Fries, which is ironically enough only a canadian chain.

Yeah I'm with them

>those tabs

Friend of mine drew some Bellwether porn so we were posting more examples.

Maybe I'll just make this when I do butter chicken for dinner next time. Good way to use leftovers, I guess. Won't be able to procure cheese curds easily, but I bet a melty chunked cheese will do fine.

>want cheese curds
>chopped string cheeses instead

poorfag cuisine at its finest

Unfortunately a thing here in DFW as well- not quite that expensive in most cases, but tacos from 2.50-4 per taco is not out of the question.

>2024
>living in an overcrowded sanctuary district

Go with fresh mozzerella instead.

Fresh mozz is nice and all (great melting quality), but it's usually so goddamn milquetoast. I'd probably just go with havarti if I'm gonna pay fresh mozz prices, or be a fucking idiot and make a custom melty cheese block with sodium citrate.

Yeah...the guy said he was gonna cut up string cheese, man.
I doubt he's going to make his own.

Look at american city sizes, besides the top 5 they are all between 1 and 2 million

This summer fag just posted his first screenshot! congrats my man!

Honestly gas station junk food in white table cloth places
Pork rinds as an amuse bouche or fucking top ramen as an entree for 20+ dollars seriously? (Not taking tonkasu or whatever it is with the chopsticks pulling out impurities from the bones I get you are paying on the labor for that and it's worth it the shit that is practically house made maruchan at top dollar is what I mean) get back to keeping high end food classy

Cutting up string cheese isn't a bad idea. Especially if you let it sit in its little tube on the counter for a half hour, let it warm up.

Fuck. I'm doing this.

From NJ originally and this might be past my day as I moved to the Midwest but I think if I got canned cheese on a cheese steak in Philly I would throw that shit in the cashier's face

I feel your pain, friends. Try being someone who grew up in Texas to living in NorCal. I'll never escaped some form of prejudice. People either expect me to be a bible thumping red state Yosemite Sam, or a "liberal commie faggot". Neither of which is true. And, (trying to stay on topic) don't even get me started on the food assumptions. No, not everyone here in NorCal eats avocado toast or drinks milk alternatives. Yes, lots of Texans put beans in chili ( I personally don't, but not because I think it's wrong, but for other culinary reasons). Oh, the list of misconceptions could go on and on.

Well light exposure actually does skunk/hurts the flavor of beer but in a sealed completely opaque can is actually better for a can than any colored transparent bottle

those fucking hipster bullshit artsy restaurants
>no plates
>food portions are small as fuck
>food tastes bland
>no chairs
>everything in written in chalc
>hiphop/punkrock playing
>almost never serve meat
>some bullshit "the best creation of 20xx"
worst thing is those fucking "restaurants" last like half a year and get replaced by some bullshit then .Its like an everlasting cancer
All those faggots need to die .

>9719029
>no plates

I really fucking hate the american meat zeitgeist
>all raw meats are lethal unless its fish handled by gooks
>meat sharing a plate with other food items in a meal must be drenched in some kind of sauce
>except for steaks and chickun, meat must be either smoked, heavily seasoned, processed into another meat product, or otherwise heavily altered before cooking
>if meat is in a dish, it must occupy at least 50% of the weight, volume, or caloric content of the whole dish
>you want prosciutto? sorry fucko its gotta be smoked until the texture of leather has been acquired

People who make stupid blanket statements like "I hate vegetables" or "I don't like seafood" because fuck you the earth is 75% water and there are millions of edible plants. You can't hate all of them that's not how it works.

Agreed. That makes me rage.

Beer tastes better from a glass bottle you imbecile

>i enjoy the taste of mild skunking

nigger

Euro or retard?

I don't like seafood. The oils make my semen smell like fucking fish and I'm allergic to shellfish. So FUCK YOU.

my sweet summer child

>NYC is the best city in the US
It's one of the worst.

Name a better city in the US.

When you order chili and it has beans in it

Hence they are barely towns, but they're even worse off since America doesn't spend on infrastructure anymore

Fresno is fucking better than NYC, at least you can leave it within 15 minutes.

>The best thing about a city is being able to leave it

Fuck off back to the country, go buy your clothes and groceries at wal-mart, and get addicted to heroine because you live in the wild and got hurt once

Sounds like you're projecting your insecurities
Why is this?

A food stereotype I hate is when people assume that all Spanish/Hispanic food is spicy.

>Nothing you said was incorrect so I'm going to attack you as a distraction to your point

>Fresno
>Better than anything

Fucking avocados. They're disgusting but it attained some kind of meme status so now everybody is putting it in shit.

Alternative food like quinoa or gluten-free food which people assume is naturally more healthy and gains some fucking holy Grail status

If you need a car to get around its not really a city

I live in NY, grew up here
I quite enjoyed my time In pittsburgh last summer

on an unrelated note
one time I went to a bartender and ordered a southern comfort and coke
she took out two 16 oz glasses like you would put a soda in and filled them both to the top, one with southern comfort, the other with coke, and then she only charged me $8

"Best" is honestly subjective. I love Baltimore ever since going to college there, but statistically it's probably one of the crappiest. I'd choose to go there over NYC any day.

Chicago

After living in Tokyo for 3 years and immediately moving to Chicago after, Chicago is an absolute shit hole of a city compared to Tokyo and NYC

>Boston area
>Seafood places having the best fries
All the seafood places I've been have had disappointing to decent fries
There are a lot of great fries in Massachusetts, but they aren't in the seafood places

>If you need a car to get around its not really a city
It's better in Kowloon

I heard they had an amazing subway system, which was exactly my point

>I heard they had an amazing subway system
Hurr durr

howdya end up in there, if you dont mind sharin, and how was it?

Places that try to get away with overpricing the shit out of the cheapest ingredients they can get
We have burgers and wings guys XD, I'm not stupid, I know what the mark up on that shit is, I can make my own thank you.

Well this whole post is just wrong. Bourbon is widely preferred unless you are talking about some dive bar that just serves well-whiskey. Keeneland is a ton of local people going. 1% is a dumb number.

Take the discussion to .
Kowloon walled city is rad as fuck and I agree that there shouldn't be a good reason to use a car in an actual city.

School and work. Tokyo is easily one of the best places in the world, but when you have specialized knowledge its dumb to live there unless you were born there

I solely drink from glass bottles in case I have to hit someone with it and use the broken neck as a knife.

Getting anything that's green next to your dish automatically makes it "healthy"
Like literally a few slices of cucumber and a bit of salad will make anything next to it a healthy meal. People genuinely believe this and that's how I end up with fucking rucola/rocket salad on my pizza, even though it isn't mentioned anywhere on the menu
