    Because of my expensive classical education, I expect Dough Nuts to be...clumps of fried dough. Which is what they originally were.

    Whereas I keep misreading "Donut" as "Do Not" and quite right too. Just don't.

    I joked to a friend the other day that it's only a matter of time before some hipster invents the pulled pork donut.

    And then I saw it. The Rolling Donut sells a maple bacon donut.

    Well you see that's the thing, it's not cut up, it's pulled, as the shoulder meat on a pig is quite stringy and you can pull it apart when slow roasted.

    It's actually delicious if done properly. I still don't understand how it became trendy though.

    Anyone remember this place?

    http://www.thejournal.ie/porndog-porndog-porndog-2350859-Sep2015/

    Opened for about 5 minutes before it shut forever. There's a chicken wing place opened recently there now, that's all they serve, chicken, I'd say it'll go under within a few months.

    KFC seem to have done all right doing this ;)

    The former is the answer to the latter. You answered yourself.

    Every kind of meat has to be "pulled" these days to make it trendy apparently .. pulled beef, pulled lamb, pulled chicken.

    And yeah, calling meat "protein" is weird.

    Some stupid bollixology of an ad for a deli place calls it slaw. A load of me hole.

    A girl I know has now gone gluten free. I see no improvement. Another who is actually allergic is not impressed with her fad.

    I always thought coleslaw sounded really unappetizing simply because of the name but slaw sounds even worse like gruel or something.

    Just googled it and apparently it originally came from the word, Koolsla. If anything, they should change it back to that :)

    Infuriating, I agree.

    But not as bloody infuriating as the way they don't serve food on normal plates anymore.

    No, I don't want my chips served in a kettle and why is my burger on a circuit board? Why is my soup on a slate? Is there a reason behind giving me my beer in a lightbulb, you hippy git?

    You know if more people done this gluten free food might be become much cheaper. It's ridiculous at the moment.

    My OH hate's Nandos i never get why , the chicken is fresh , sauce is class the chips are quality , The Hummus is an unreal little starter and it's quick enough to be kinda fast food but your not starving within an hour whats not to love.

    One thing that has got to stop is fcuking foam , like any dish that comes with foam i ask i to be left off , looks awful , makes the whole plate look unapitizing the texture is grim.

    Pulled Pork is also awesom , but not here never here in the states done properly low and slow with a dry rub its quality, most places here its some over sweetend goopy muck on a bun wrap etc... The only place i can think of does it anywhere near properly in Ireland is Pitt Bros

    I'm not going to lie, I like the variety of foods that these 'fads' bring.

    But I do draw the line at referring to food as a molocule such as protein. That's just redonk.

    I've heard it a few times now, all related to the gym trend that's big at the moment.

    Back to the fads.

    Food fads are one thing.... serving fads are another!

    Steak with sauce on a slate, with the sauce dripping all over the place.
    Where's my plate!!
