Recent trends that haven't 'grabbed' me

[Jah Lush]

Five points above you. It's a downward trend for the Reds.

^^^^^ This.

Yep. Mumford and sons. Beards. Tweeting photos of my dinner. Queueing for a hour for the latest trendy burger. Skinny jeans.

Things I like... pulled pork (if done properly), craft beer, good burgers (if you don't have to queue), check shirts

[KidKruger]

Mumford who ?

[Robert Poste's Child]

Designer toast.

You know, The Trust Fund Wurzels. Bag-a-shite.

[KidKruger]

Actually (should I feel embarrassed ? I don't [yet]), no I don't know !

I've heard of The Wurzels though, they still play out West.

[Alan Medic]

Having been grabbed by bellbottoms some years ago, I've lost interest in trendy things.

[Robert Poste's Child]

I know it's been mainstream for a good fifteen years, so hardly current, but tattoos. I'm still horrified when I see an attractive woman all dressed up for the evening with the ink on display.

God, I'm getting old. Where's my cardie.

Rocket in every bloody sandwich for sale.

Agree re rocket (bitter and scratchy on the throat) and beards (bonkers and scratchy on the throat).

Dirty Burgers, Pop Up anything.

Pulled pork easy to make at home in slow cooker, add BBQ sauce at end. Wouldn't go out for it.

I like rocket on a chorizo and roasted pepper sandwich, like Brindisa makes it. Easy to replicate at home.

[Otta]

Wurzels = Great

Munford & Sons = Not so much!

Nope... the real deal should be barbecued/smoked.

Wetting myself due to the coucillor led prospect of multinational Cineworld Co opening a Picturehouse on LL.

Nonsense, there are BBQ methods and non BBQ methods. Plenty of good recipes out there to cook at home, oven or slow cooker and they taste good. Pulled pork just means cooked pork that can be pulled apart and separated.

[uncleglen]

You can get a ?3 piece of shoulder for pulled pork with peppers on in Sainsbury's. Does 2 people a treat- I do feel guilty eating meat though. At festivals there is a stall with pulled pork and delicious stuffing in a large bap- delicious.

The stupid muffins and fancy stupid cakes have passed me by.

[Jeremy]

Of course you can make it at home. But it's gomna be completely different to the stuff you'd get from a BBQ restaurant.

[MrBen]

Unless you add Liquid Smoke.

[Jeremy]

You're still not going to get the tasty charred bits!

Yeah, those carcinogenic bits.

[Otta]

Yeah, the nice bits.

Actually, hog roasts is another one that I don't get.

And can I just ask what sort of beards we're talking about? I've had a beard of sorts for years, mainly because I'm too lazy to shave regularly. I'm feeling paranoid!

Cupcakes!
