Really if we wanna talk weird food trends then let's talk about weird cauliflower preparations being on every fucking menu right now as the trendy side or appetizer.
It's because cauliflower is gluten free, but can be formed as a paste and eventually a dough.
Cauliflower dough? If somebody ever tries to give me something made with cauliflower dough I will kill them. I will murder them in cold blood with my own two hands.
Yeah if you ever see 'cauliflower pizza' on a menu, it's not regular pizza with a cauliflower topping; it's pizza where pureed cauliflower is being used as the dough.
I like to enjoy a small square of dark chocolate with lime after my dinner most evenings and that's about it. People getting heated debating what chocolate is best is weird. Who gives a shit.
Pretty much the same here, barring needing to spend errant Walgreen's gift cards the day after a holiday. That 12oz Dove milk bunny was a solid purchase this year, even if it was bigger than my hands.
Normally a dove dark square after a low carb dinner for me. I hated dark chocolate until I didn't. It happened around the same time I stopped eating inexpensive/boxed/canned meals most of the time.

I do too. Cauliflower in any form is damn tasty. Also, there is nothing, nothing on this planet that makes me fart more.
Not even beans?!?
beans don't cause much in me at all but cauliflower is like a hurricane from my ass

Speaking of, I had "cauliflower mashed potatoes" once
"It tastes just like mashed potatoes!"
In what god damned world?
What kind of atrocious mashed potatoes are you fuckers eating?
Holy shit. I don't even LIKE mashed potatoes (no, not even good ones, I hate the texture of mashed spuds, roast them instead you toothless animals), but that is insanity. The best mashed cauliflower in the world is inferior to the worst mashed potato in the world.
Mashed potatoes have a huge variety in texture based on what else you put in the dish.

Grind up some cauliflower, add a little bit of sharp cheddar, add an egg, form into a patty, fry each side 2-3 minutes in olive oil and you're set. That shit is tasty.

Cauliflower's pretty good and I think it's great that restaurants bring in new options for folks once in a while. Mashed potatoes aren't going anywhere but variety is good too!

Oh yeah I'm not angry about the option of it existing.
I only get annoyed when it replaces the original. Like when you're at a BBQ or cook-out or something and someone is tasked with bringing mashed potatoes and they bring mashed cauliflower instead.
not a doctor, not a lawyer, examples I use may not be fully researched so don't take out of context plz, don't @ me

I mean, it's fair to be mad if you ask someone to bring one thing and they bring something else. That's... kind of barely worth discussing though because that's a very specific thing that has nothing to do with the specific product in question.

I was also tricked into eating cauliflower thinking it was mashed potatoes and since I thought they had made mashed potatoes I refused to say anything negative about it because I enjoy mash potatoes and I didn't want to hurt their feelings.
At least until they revealed that the mashed potatoes were mashed cauliflower.

I honestly feel like people treat chocolate kind of like how the internet treats bacon.
I mean, sure it's okay. Not really my thing. But everyone fucking loses their mind about chocolate when it's mentioned and how they have to get some. The taste has always been kind of meh for milk chocolate, and absolutely no go for darker (yay supertasting). And then you get to Hershey's chocolate which is kind of burney and that's just unpleasant.
My exception is PB Cups, but that's because peanut butter is great.
Just for sorta-educational purposes: Fellow supertaster here, absolutely love chocolate, especially the dark stuff. I mostly got hit hard with green vegetables tasting like someone's trying to kill me... and milk tasting just completely vile.
E: The point being, though I'm sure Bowen and any others of my mutant tribe know, we all still get to have individual tastes.

Yeah dark chocolate is much easier to eat than stuff like brussels or cabbage. Raw uncooked cabbage in tiny amounts and spinach actually taste alright. When they're cooked it just makes them taste like absolute shit to me. Raw brussels still taste like fucking death though.
Milk tastes fine to me, love it.
I've heard there's some super tasters that can't do fried food at all... which makes me ?????
There must be some variation in how supertasting expresses itself.

What is the point in getting angry that options exist for people who want something healthier/different
Aww hell man, I ain't getting angry. I'll eat so much cauliflower you would be physically disgusted if it's cauliflower cooked in satay sauce from my local Chinese takeout place. Mashed cauliflower as a replacement for mashed potato just triggers my gag reflex, that's all.

There must be some variation in how supertasting expresses itself.
I actually like cabbage, as a rule, regardless of what got done to it. Doesn't set me off. Spinach is 50/50 but much nastier raw.
Fried artichoke leaves, which are an appetizer at a restaurant I've gone to several times, make me make a face which is apparently really memorable, to the point where I get dared to have some once a year and just can't.
I'm pretty sure, from "scientific" experiments, that it's the fat in milk that sets me off. I'm that guy trimming all the fatty bits off pork chops. It just makes me want to puke if it's in my mouth for any length of time.

Fat triggers it in you? That's strange! (to me)
Those PTC/PROP compounds make me dry heave almost instantly. That taste lingers in your mouth and on your tongue forever too.
My friends use a bitterant spray to keep their dog away from wires, I can taste it in the air when they've used it and need to immediately try and wash it out of my mouth with something acidic or fruity (mouthwash, soda, juice).

My sister is a bit of a health nut and always tries to eat fresh, and it's kinda interesting on the foods she makes that I can eat (since I literally cannot eat things with heavy roughage or fiber) that she uses a completely different way of preparing and seasoning and such. Like she prepares some sweet potatoes with Ginger in them and it's something I would not have though of.
