Chances are, you’ll spot at least one photo of mouth-watering food the second you open your Instagram feed. You know, those carefully curated posts filled with dazzling colors of kimchi, home-brewed kombuchas, and vibrant açaí bowls that get your appetite immediately going. But the truth is, these are all trends that have filled our kitchens, plates, and bellies during these past few years. And if there’s one thing we’re sure of, they tend to come and go.
So a few days ago, Redditor AndShesNotEvenPretty felt inspired when she came across old recipes that looked completely unappetizing by today's standards. So the user reached out to members of the 'Cooking' subreddit with a very fine question: "What cooking/food trends will seem revolting in the future?" Foodies immediately jumped to the comment section and shared their sizzling takes about the latest fads that will age so bad, they'll turn sour.
From rainbow-colored meals to dishes decorated with gold, we’ve gone through the thread and hand-picked some of the most interesting responses for every cooking enthusiast to enjoy. So get your aprons ready and continue scrolling to upvote your favorite ones! Do you have any thoughts about what food trends should cease to exist? Be sure to tell us all about them in the comments, we'd love to hear them.

it's not really a food trend per se, but i'm really tired of looking up a recipe online only to have to scroll through 20 pages of a life story full of anecdotes just to get to the ingredient list.
Fondant. Cakes are supposed to taste good first and look good second, not look beautiful and taste awful.
We managed to get in touch with the user who started this whole thread, AndShesNotEvenPretty, who was kind enough to have a little chat with us. When asked whether she expected her post to reach hundreds of people who wasted no time sharing their opinions in the comments, the user said that it was definitely cool. "But let’s not get too precious here. It’s a Reddit post. All it demonstrates is I had a passing thought that other people identified with," she told Bored Panda.
The user came up with the idea to ask this question while scrolling through the 'Old Recipes' subreddit. "It’s amusing to look back on the trends of yesteryear and realize how much our tastes have changed," she wrote in the post. "Gelatin abominations, iceberg lettuce creations, and protein loaf iterations abound, many of which sound unappetizing by today’s standards. It got me to thinking, what do we eat now that the next generations will find unappealing?"
Deconstructed food. I do not give a sh*t about your creative attempt to try to 'invoke' cheesecake by having all the elements on a plate separately. I want the damn, fully assembled cheesecake
Food decorated in gold. I don’t judge people for fine dining or enjoying expensive meals, but that gold leafing sh*t is over the line for me. It's pure ostentatiousness without even pretending that it improves the taste of food.
When asked about the reasons she finds it interesting to explore old recipes online, AndShesNotEvenPretty explained she enjoys looking at them because they serve as a social commentary of the era they once were popular in. Moreover, they can tell us a lot about what was valued at the time. "You can see the changes that were taking place in society simply by observing recipes over time."
"As women entered the workforce, for example, recipes became more compact, streamlined, and made use of convenience foods and canned items," the user continued. "During the Great Depression, recipes were barebones and made use of inexpensive staples and often involved innovative uses for cheaper ingredients so they could be used as substitutes for more expensive products like milk and eggs."
However, most of the cooking trends that were popular during that time have faded away. Once we take a look at the TV dinners, gelatin salads, and fish-shaped food that were extremely prevalent just a few decades ago, we undoubtedly scratch our heads from confusion. "I think many of these recipes fall out of favor as we begin to value different things, gain new technology, and as we continue to learn more about the world around us," the user noted several reasons why these dishes no longer seem appetizing to us.
I already think they’re gross but those “Stunt Burgers” that are stacked so damn high you can’t even eat it properly and the combination of all 25+ ingredients probably won’t even taste that good together. First We Feast Instagram I’m lookin at you.
I want to hope that future people will be revolted by the giant, flavorless beefsteak tomatoes we chose to selectively breed and then pick early and refrigerate into oblivion to be the way they are, right now, *on purpose.*
that is all tomatoes, not just beefsteak and many of the fruits and vegetables that you want to eat. buy local, support local farmers and grow your own, supermarkets just fill shelves with produce people will buy.
Keurig coffee. Passing boiling water through plastic cups for a burnt, under-extracted cup. If it doesn't turn out to be outright dangerous to human health, it's still an environmentally wasteful way to make a bad cup of coffee.
I have absolutely no use for anyone who uses any of these "pod" devices. 39,000 pods are produced every single minute of the day (20.5 billion per year) of those, 29,000 end up in landfills (15.242 BILLION PER YEAR) You couldn't recycle these things if you wanted to, and manufactures have resisted making that a possibility anyway. Testing has shown that the water in the machines doesn't even get hot enough to do a proper extraction, grounds are OFTEN stale, and there are a myriad of ways that are just as easy (if not more so) to get a cup, that offer exponentially better end product.
"Right now, we seem to value abundance (think burgers too large to eat and overloaded milkshakes) so a recipe that makes use of potato peels (as seen in the Depression) seems less alluring," she continued. "And whereas gelatin salads were once de rigueur, we’ve long ago been there and done that. When you can sous vide at home, a molded dessert with canned fruit suspended inside seems markedly less sophisticated."
Plus, the user explained that our ability to easily communicate and travel throughout the world led to our cuisine preferences shifting as well. "Whereas, at one time, American meals were relegated to a meat, a starch and a vegetable, in recent decades we have begun to see the introduction of more worldwide influences, flavor profiles, techniques, and ingredients in our recipes."
Hopefully sugar and corn syrup being put in *everything*. So much sugar...
Why is sugar needed in bread? US bread qualifies as cake in most other countries.
*Fois gras*. I think in the future the objections to *fois gras* will continue to grow to where it will no longer be found on menus. It will go the way of the ortolan.
I did not know about ortolans until today - and now I feel like puking!
I've never heard of it either! Poor birds. Who comes up with these insane cooking ideas? "Oh, look at that pretty bird, let's drown the bird in brandy and eat it" 🤢
Load More Replies...It's Foie gras, not fois... I know I will get lots of thumbs down but I think most people are misinformed about how it's made. It's not cruel when ducks and geese are bred in a small farm. The life and death of industrial chickens is way way worse.
I love foie gras - there’s literally nothing else like it. And from my reading, the birds are *not* mistreated and live a pretty good life, as farm animals go. If you wanna get up in arms about something, Rod’s right about the horrors of chicken farming.
Load More Replies...production of Foie Gras is actually banned in some countries, the UK iirc is one of them.
It's sad to see this misinformation still continues, and a level of hypocrisy along with it. There's nothing cruel about the process of Foie Gras production (here in France, at least, and you probably shouldn't be getting it from anywhere else). Compare it with the industrial production of the vast majority of chicken and it's a positively luxurious lifestyle. Anyone who eats chicken from fast food outlets is driving a much higher level of animal cruelty than anything the Foie Gras producers have ever done.
Never had it... but have yall had veal... talking about animal abuse these BABY cows are chained down so they can't move to make the meat more tender. Or lobster, boiling an animal alive, and they do scream! We humans have and still do effed up s**t to animals for food, entertainment, selfishness, and just to be messed up to them. I'm not a vegetarian or vegan but I try not to eat tortured animals. Sorry chickens for your awful quality of life because I do eat a lot of you. Now I'm thinking about it I'm gonna cut back on my chicken intake. Poor things live on top of each other, eating on top of each other, walking on dead bodies of your featherian. No one making sure each chicken is eating and is healthy.
I work in sales for a gourmet food company. I audibly make a disgusted, judgemental noise everytime I take an order for foie gras.
Alleged animal abuse in US dairy sector under investigation : https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2020/aug/03/coronavirus-animal-abuse-us-factory-farms
A common practice among hatcheries for egg-laying hens is the culling of newly hatched male chicks since they do not lay eggs and do not grow fast enough to be profitable for meat. Chickens are often stunned before slaughter using carbon dioxide or electric shock in a water bath.
In some countries, such as the United States, turkeys routinely have their beaks trimmed. Debeaking, beak trimming, or beak conditioning is the partial removal of the beak of poultry, especially layer hens and turkeysLaying hens are routinely beak-trimmed at 1 day of age to reduce the damaging effects of aggression, feather pecking and cannibalism. Scientific studies have shown that beak trimming is likely to cause both acute and chronic pain.
" The Filming of Farm Cruelty in the USA is Becoming a Crime. April 7, 2013. " https://animalequality.org/news/the-filming-of-farm-cruelty-in-the-usa-is-becoming-a-crime/
" the Trump administration has moved to deregulate agribusiness even further, giving companies that abuse animals freer rein to prioritize profit over welfare. The administration dropped enforcement of animal welfare statutes and moved forward with proposals to reduce the role of government inspectors in overseeing conditions at slaughterhouses "
" According to The American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (ASPCA), factory farms account for over 95% of total livestock farming the US. Farms Animals on factory farms go through the everyday agony and brutally painful procedures; farmers keep them in choking cages, often chained and unable to move."
Apparently ortolans are eaten with a piece of cloth over your head - I saw it in a program with Jeremy Clarkson. It was disgusting.
Dining on ortolans is gross, but the scene from "Gigi" is pretty funny.
Roger on American Dad eats an Ortalan in the “traditional fashion” and I thought the whole thing was a joke until today
Totally agree! I can still remember the day I found out how it was made and have never eaten it, or shared a table with anyone who does/will, since then!
I have absolutely no idea what Fois gras or Ortolan even is. I guess it's not good.
Foie gras is made from fatty goose liver. It’s a cruel dish because to get the liver so fatty the geese are force fed until they’re fat AF
Load More Replies...Large portions — why? French cuisine is really rich, sweet, and salty, but their portions are just smaller. I don’t need to eat a 0.5-1 burger with all the fixins. Why are burritos the size of my arm?
Yes, I often wonder if Americans who come here think our portions are really stingy, but that's what we're used to, and they do fill you up.
The user’s question caused quite a stir on the 'Cooking' subreddit. Food enthusiasts from far and wide gathered together in one place to discuss the trends they wish everyone would just be done with, and they didn’t hold anything back. AndShesNotEvenPretty told us she liked seeing a lot of the responses. "Some of them I hadn’t thought of but totally agreed with — one person said foam looked like someone spit on your plate. I found myself thinking YES! THIS!"
I would add the milkshakes that have three desserts stacked on them and are spilling all over the place.
Foam. It's disgusting. And unfortunately appears on dishes in high end restaurants. Where it looks like something someone spit onto the plate. Horrifying.
"My favorite comments, and the most encouraging ones, were the people who think meat and factory farming will go the way of the dodo bird. I can only hope that one day my grandkids will be astounded that anyone ate an actual cow." But the user also mentioned that in the meantime, she’ll wait for some of these likely temporary trends to fizzle out.
"Since we are entering a time where everything is getting increasingly expensive, I’m guessing the Bloody Marys with 3 meals worth of garnish or the sandwich hybrids that use entire grilled cheese sandwiches as buns, will be viewed as wasteful and fall out of favor," she added, hoping these recipes and foods will be frowned upon all together.
The Instagram food era. Everything over the top so it looks great on insta but more often than not it's just a mess. It's all about how the food looks not tastes. Can anyone tell me that adding 25-30 toppings to an ice cream cone all made of sugar actually makes the ice cream better? At a certain point you have an ice cream sundae that is all toppings
I've heard stories of instagrammers sending back stacks of pancakes because the cook added syrup, only to have more made without syrup so they can pour it "their way" and take photos. And then leave them. "Influencers" are a boil on the rear end of humanity.
Stuff that's cooked inside of a plastic bag, liner, etc. Not to be a conspiracy theorist but I don't think we quite understand how bad plastic leeching is for humans.
When food is becoming practically unaffordable for so many people, the user believes people will change their attitudes towards meals with immoderate amounts of food. "I think it will be seen as tacky to create recipes for sandwiches stacked so tall with toppings so as to render them inedible, for example."
However, AndShesNotEvenPretty felt it’s important to remind you, dear readers, that it all comes down to choice. "Eat what you like whether it’s 'fashionable' or not. I know my husband will never, ever give up French onion dip and potato chips no matter who says charcuterie trays are the way of the future. And that’s ok!"
Artfully smearing a sauce so it looks like a s**t streak on your plate.
Who the f**k thinks that’s appetizing?
Hopefully - industrially farmed meat. It's an incredibly cruel system that inflicts massive amounts of suffering to animals _and_ humans and does great damage to the environment and atmosphere, all for cheap hamburgers. I think we'll look back on it and treat it like other barbaric systems of the past. My hope is that plant based options continue to grow in popularity and people who still choose to eat animal flesh now and then opt for less damaging ones.
I think I will forever eat meat but I do wish the meat I consumed was more sustainable and the animals treated better.
Sloppy, wasteful, revolting food concoctions made for the purposes of entertainment. I would hope that in the future someone would be scorned and derided for doing something like covering your entire countertop in spaghetti and chocolate sauce. I would hope that future historians look back on phenomena like that and think something must have seriously been wrong with us.
Those dumb “hacks” or flashy foods on TikTok and Facebook.
Bloody Marys piled high with extra ingredients like bacon, shrimp, a lobster claw, and all kinds of pickled and spicy things.
Hot Cheeto Burrito
Hot Cheeto Fries
Hot Cheeto powder for your corndog or cheese stick
I don't get it. I loves me some hot cheetos, but they aren't an ingredient.
Hopefully all the pre-packaged and processed garbage our stores are filled with today. People need to re-discover actually cooking with real ingredients, not just re-heating processed industrial nonsense.
Then advocate for a better work-life balance and where needed better salaries. For too many people it is the most practical option given available time and money.
“Secret menu” food items got really old really fast. As a former barista, I was expected (by customers) to know every single “secret menu” item that some rando on the internet came up with? No thank you lol.
Meal prep delivery services. It seems like a step in the wrong direction when it comes to wasteful packaging. Every ingredient is individually packaged not to mention perishable ones need extra packaging.
I long for the day that people who use the word "EVOO" are expelled from polite society, then are forced to wander the wastelands to survive on beetles, and hair.
The pastries that are heavily preserved and sold in plastic packaging. Like the Little Debbie cakes.
Everything that is wrapped up in unnecessary amounts of plastic will be horrifying to us eventually.
deep fried foods like oreo, ice cream etc. stacking calories over calories.
Rainbow anything - rainbow bagels, rainbow pasta, rainbow grilled cheese.
It looks cool af but everytime I’ve tried it, the only good thing about it is that it’s visually appealing.
Deserts that are just way too rich & have way too much sugar. I don't want a cheesecake that's been drowned in a river of milk chocolate or milkshakes that are stacked with random sweets. deserts should be enjoyable, not cause me diabetes after two bites.
I think you mean desserts. Last I heard, the Sahara desert isn't made out of sugar.
The overuse of avocados as the central part of a recipe.
Especially those avocados baked with egg in them.
I love avocados but don’t think I could stomach an entire dish like this.
I think future generations will just look at some of the 'diet programs' that are out there now and just laugh at them.
It took me two attempts (successful at first, but then I gained back my previous overweight and then some) to realise that WW's business concept is 'satisfied customers that will return'.
People start putting a bunch of random things together on a board like pancakes, syrup, fruit, etc. and call it “breakfast charcuterie”. At this point, anything thrown onto a board in a fancy manner is called charcuterie.
Meatless burgers, and meatless sausages. Basically the vegan stuff that is trending now. I’ve tasted a few and the feel and taste great, just like the real thing.
But they are heavily processed food. And just how our culture is beginning to understand that processed food is bad for you along come these vegan fake foods, which are heavily processed.
Vegan? yes.
Healthy? f**k no.
Overhopped beer hides the flaws that are easily evident in well-balanced beer. Most craft beer these days is s**t.
Salted caramel everything
Pumpkin spice everything
"Fancy" salts (pink Himalayan sea salt, etc.) added on top of different dishes.
Kale anything
Artificial sweetener and diet products.
Edit: I was thinking specifically of dieting trends when posting this. I'm not attacking anybody's needs or preferences here ftr. I just think low cal/sweetened products are becoming less popular compared to fat/protein.
I am one of those people that drink Pepsi max because I prefer the taste over normal Pepsi.
Unnecessarily “stuffed” foods (think Tasty videos with burger stuffed bacon wrapped onion rings).
every recipe being an “umami bomb” with 13 pounds of garlic. like guys don’t get me wrong i like garlic, but i also like some of the other 50,000 flavors known to mankind so can i please taste some of those too?
umami is not garlic. Umami is a flavour name referring to the flavour of savory items like cooked meat etc. Generally as a "Spice" it means MSG.
in the future people will just be shocked at the abundance of food choices we had after supply chains crumble. Also, meat.
(Happy to be living at a time when meat is abundant and delicious)
modern farming is to blame. many local and indigenous foods aren't being farmed because there is no money in those crops. so glad i have the knowledge and seeds from my farning ancestors passed down to me. what i grow can't be found in any supermarket.
Calling stock 'bone broth.' They do it so it drives up the price. $6 for a small carton of bone broth?! I can make a big batch of that stuff for the same price!
well most things that you can make are generally cheaper than having the convenience of someone else making it for you.
Avocado toast. Hands down. It will be the gelatin salad of 3045.
I think the entire nation of mexico will disagree with you. Guac ftw.
Don't forget the bacon grease cookies!
Keto
on this one, my bet is that in about 5-10 years we'll see a huge uptick in gout and arthritis.
Cauliflower everything. Rice, pizza crust. Fried cauliflower “Buffalo wings”. Why can’t cauliflower be happy with what it is? It’s a perfectly delicious vegetable. I fear we’re giving it a complex.
Also “zoodles”. Like, leave zucchini be. If you want a no carb dinner that’s your right but why do you have to put zucchini into a Halloween costume of a pasta shape?
To be honest if it gets people to eating more veggies then I'm all in for it
Macaroni on everything. Saw a macaroni burrito on ig and immediately left the app
Only in the US. At least where I live, it seems weird to layer carbs so much... you either have a pasta (maccaroni) dish OR a bread-based dish. (Which doesn't mean that this weird trend is not spilling over though, thanks Bu**er K**g 👑 )
As climate impacts on meat production and prices, and people turn to non-meat food sources, it seems likely to me that within a generation general meat consumption will be revolting to a growing number of people (who grew up in households that simply couldn't afford to eat meat).
Overnight oats. They're awful — just a soggy, waterlogged waste of perfectly good oats that could’ve been used to make delicious porridge, granola, or cookies.
I like overnight oats; they're easy to make and they taste good to me. To each their own!
Bacon on everything. It is such an overrated food to begin with, and it doesn't belong on donuts and cakes.
All that Chefs Club c**p.
It’s revolting now, and it will be in the future.
The amount of cheese and butter they use is astounding. My arteries cringe just watching their videos lol.
Pesto eggs? Am I the only one who just isn't impressed? They are simply not bussin'
Patching your floor with ramen?
Protein loaf iterations
What is wrong with meatloaf?
Protein powder... I'm sorry but it just tastes disgusting! There has to be a better solution..
One pot pasta dishes. Boil your damn pasta separately!
Instant pot/crock pot recipes with cream cheese as an ingredient.
Cream cheese will be the jello of the early 21st century.
Is it me or is BP being more and more judgemental posts - sure comment on people wasting food etc but what’s wrong with the occasional deep fried mar bar or whether if it makes them happy. If people more accepting maybe we’d have less suffering.
No, BP has always been on a bit of high horse of judgement.
Load More Replies...Some of these were right on. Others seem to be a matter of, "I really don't like (fill in the blank) so no one else should like it." Also, some of these things aren't trends. For example, people have been cooking with kale for over at least 2600 years.
I love kale. It's been used in the Dutch kitchen for centuries. The classic dish is mashed with potatoes and some smoked sausage on the side. Edit: I forgot the gravy :)
Load More Replies...Mine has to be fad diets. Honestly seems incredibly self obsessed to turn up to a meal with a list of stuff you won’t eat that’s longer than you are tall. It’s just a “look at me, I don’t eat carbs” thing. I have no problem whatsoever with people who have genuine allergies and conditions. You won’t find me eating peanuts on a plane or giving gluten to someone with coeliac disease. I just can’t stand stupid fads that just make life more difficult for people with genuine allergies because no one believes them when they say dairy will make them ill.
That has become such a big issue at restaurants. Everyone claims "I'm deathly allergic to X" just because they don't like a particular ingredient. Then when the person with the real allergies comes along everyone just rolls their eyes.
Load More Replies...I was beginning to think BP was starting to go a bit overboard but thought I was overreacting. Thanks for this comment. It seems like a flood of people who want to p**s and moan about someone or something they don't like. Too damn bad.
Some of the people on this article are misusing the term “binge eating”. Binge eating is disordered eating (an eating disorder) in which you eat excessive amounts of food because you’re experiencing anxiety, depression, stress, or really anything. This is not the same as just eating lots of food.
Cilantro. I'm one of those people who think it tastes like soap. I realize a lot of people like it and that's fine but it's in everything thing now and not always in an appropriate dish. What's next, cilantro milkshakes?
It's genetic. About 20% of people cannot abide coriander leaf. I've heard that Peruvian black mint (a herb that isn't actually a mint) is a good substitute but I've never been able to find it
Load More Replies...F**k mayonnaise in any form, I know it’s in all sorts of things but I can sniff it out in any meal. And I hate people who try and trick you into eating it. I would never put meat in a vegan meal and say “I tricked you”
Mine is the entirety of food shows and channels. The ingredients used in those shows is absolutely ludicrous. Especially the ones with kids in them. Not only can you not buy those ingredients where I live you could not afford them if you could. Just wastes time, money, and food on a bunch of s**t really. Pisses me off thinking about it. I need to go for a walk and cool off now.
The amount of privilege dripping from this list and comments is unbelievable.
Okay, i love cheese, but please Americans, it's okay to eat something that isn't smothered in melted cheese. I love you guys, but it's not healthy. Also not all Latinos were raised on tacos. Please don't ask me my opinion on what the best taco and burrito places are. That's not what we ate growing up. It's a norteño thing, not something we do in Brazil. Also Brazilian steakhouses. I think I ate red meat twice before moving to the US. This is a cuisine from a very specific part of Brazil. It would be like if I just assumed ALL Americans eat grits all the time. When i was growing up in Rio my base protein was beans. Sometimes with fish or maybe chicken. The red meat would be something like ox tail, not a slab of beef.
I would like to add charcuterie boards to this list. It's a meat and cheese tray for Pete's sake!!!!
To be fair, market forces steered towards this direction and we ourselves need to take the most blame. We let these trend chasing, attention seeking, limelight whoring disease fester for too long. We are all here shaking our heads but there are probably far more knuckleheads loving these pretentious, posh looking food that taste like play-doh fished out of the train station toilet. Because that's the cool thing right now.
The thing that I hate is fries getting served in tiny buckets, or things that look like miniature shopping carts.
One I didn't see in the list: Considering some foods to be better than others. Either stuff like "superfoods" that aren't a thing, or ingredients that are a little harder to get than others. I see so many "high end" chefs turn their noses up at stuff like canned products because for some reason that's considered below them. But then you challenge them to cook with those ingredients and, wonder of wonders, they can turn out delicious food. I'd also add demonizing certain foods for arbitrary reasons. Like GMOs. Literally the only difference between the food we call "GMO" and normal food is that the GMOs were created in a lab. The best example of this? Corn. Corn literally did not exist as it is now before humans started messing with it. Humans started to selectively breed it to become something we could make better use of, and now we have something that basically can not exist in the wild. It HAS to be cultivated by humans. "Non GMO Corn" is the biggest oxymoron I've ever seen.
