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):
the hazelnut hot chocolate would sound way more hipster if it was called "hazelnut hot chocolate with rice milk" :P
ReplyDeleteesther: Haha, that recipe actual calls for you to make your own hazelnut milk, check it out: http://hipsterfood.tumblr.com/post/35787120754/i-like-to-think-of-this-as-a-better-than-nutella
