And when it comes to facetious food trends, I feel okay with writing seething, over-the-top opinion pieces that accomplish nothing. Sometimes you need to vent. I’ve internalized my disdain for random food trends for far too long, soaking them into my ecosystem. Now I’m ready to say goodbye.
I’m going to print out this article out and set it aflame in my braai stand to signify a fresh start. Here are the food trends I hope to never see again come 2019.
Mushroom Drinks

These “elixirs” promise more than my ex-boyfriends and claim to be “nature’s viagra”, to sharpen your subconsciousness, boost your chakras, clear your karma, inspire your next novel and get back your lost lover. Enough is enough!
