Link: The hipster food glossary

While I've been trying to reign in my disdain for hipster culture, I stumbled upon this intriguing article highlighting some UK hipster food slang from The Guardian: The hipster food glossary: from French dip to burnt ends. Some terms included were sliders, kimchi, mac'n'cheese, and bubble tea. My initial thoughts:
  • There are a lot of Asian culinary references...does that make Asians automatically food-hipsters?
  • My God, I was already familiar with all the listed terms in the glossary, so there may be some truth to the statement above.
  • Interesting to see what American food trends makes it "across the pond"...mostly of the unhealthy but delicious variety it would seem
Since we're on the topic of hipsters, I also want to recommend some of the un-ironically awesome food pictures at the Hipsterfood tumblr, feast your eyes on this (*WARNING* The bloggers are vegans, so no animal noms on the blog):
